This is no different than when the Confederate Army took Ft. Sumter.

Therefore Posse Comitatus does not apply and the appropriate response IMO is to send in the United States Military to take it back.

Haven't heard from DJ since this morning. I guess he must be on his way to Oregon.

Not at all. I am speaking to the way that Sharpton/Jackson run to the spotlight like moths to the flame. Will Trump do the same?

Here ya go...

"If three years ago any person had told me that at this day, I should see such a formidable rebellion against the laws & constitutions of our own making as now appears I should have thought him a bedlamite—a fit subject for a mad house."

—George Washington to Henry Knox, on the subject of Shays Rebellion, February 3, 1787

"You have to give Captain Daniel Shays this: When he launched his armed sedition against lawful authority, he at least was invited in. Overnight on Saturday, in an obscure corner of the Oregon wilderness, and contrary to the law, and in defiance of democratic authority, both federal and local, another act of armed sedition was committed. It seems to me that this ought to be a bigger story than, say, the belated prosecution of Bill Cosby, or whatever most recently came out of the mouth of the vulgar talking yam. In a small place in Oregon, the essential compact of the United States of America has come apart."
A seriously pissed off Charlie Pierce...

Rahm is going to achieve that through taxes.

In Ammon Bundy's own words - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7M0mG6HUyk

I guess the nut didn't fall far from the tree in this case.

They should pump gangsta rap at them at extreme volumes 24/7.

I read in the Oregonian that there are kids onsite. http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-no...cart_big-photo

Time to call out the 10th Mountain Division, encircle these loons, cut power and water and then wait them out. The weather will do the rest. The high desert in eastern Oregon is an extremely cold and inhospitable place in January.

Some of the funnier terms from the intertubes for these Teabillies vacationing in beautiful southeastern Oregon.

Y'all Queda and Vanilla ISIS.

Cat got yer tongues, Repub candidates?

The right is strangely silent on this whole 'Sagebrush Rebellion' nonsense.
Must have something to do Reagan and James Watt...
