Republicans join far-right figures at Montana anti-government event

State politicians and Oregon occupation leader Ammon Bundy address gathering against federal land management

At a conference in Whitefish, Montana, on Saturday Ammon Bundy, a leader of a group which occupied federal land in 2016, shared a stage with Republican politicians, campaigners against Indian treaty rights and other rightwing groups.

The event, A New Code of the West, was hosted by The West is Our West, a group created in 2016 that has opposed environmentalism and federal land management. The conference attracted around 100 people from five western states.

Speakers addressed the issue of public lands, the administration of which by the federal government they see as constitutionally illegitimate, a belief at odds with most constitutional scholars and supreme court decisions.

Speakers also evinced hostility to the news media and the federal government. Some expressed conspiratorial beliefs.

Welfare Ranchers all. Without the Federal Gubmint and Librul City Slickers, their lifestyles would vanish.

And then the Buffalo could return.

Restoring the vast herds of bison sounds good to me. Need to flesh that plan out a bit. Maybe reduce the habitat for homo traitorius. (Ok, online translator says it should be homo proditor, but traitorius sounds better).

its fleshed out a bit. not in our lifetimes, but the decline of welfare ranching out there, in the high plains especially, is inevitable.

The new Grassland state would have 2 senators and representation in Congress more nearly like that of California. The buffalo would someday outnumber the people.

Thanks for the link!

I'm worried that "someone is going to be killed" because of political climate

Paul agreed with the original repost. A staffer posted it with Paul's approval.
