The Nevada rancher grazing his cattle on the BLM land?

One of my nutjob conservative "friends" on FB liked the Drudge Report page where the lunatics are in total war mode. It's amazing reading the comments. One poster said that the govt is in Mesquite NV right now regrouping. They've brought in the military and national guard and they're planning on a huge assault.

Another said it's because Harry Reid's son has a deal with a Chinese solar company and one of his friends works for the BLM and *they* want that land so that's why the govt backed off for now.

Maybe it's the same kind of talk the Freepers are doing but I don't go there and just happened upon this when looking through FB.

They are in absolute panic and are on the ready and willing to kill for their freedoms against this tyrannical govt. A lot of "they'll be back" and "beware" and "this isn't over".

They are gunning for a fight, that's for sure.

Hoping someone else will entertain them by starting up a battle. And of course when one of them gets killed, it's the evil government that killed them. We had people here saying the cops should not have killed an at large convicted murderer who had said clearly he would kill one of them.

or any other if the wacky shit from their nutjob conspiracy websites. Time's running out on Obama's term and they've got to do something to justify their nutjobbery.

Reading anything posted, you would have to assume it would be full of misinformation.

I wonder why they aren't as outraged and cleaning their guns over TransCanada exacting imminent domain over ranchers' properties in Nebraska. These are people's homes and livelihoods and I don't see the militia getting ready to defend those folks against a foreign company trying to take land.
