Tea Party killers quit their jobs and sold everything so they could fight the Feds at Bundy Ranch

Last edited Mon Jun 9, 2014, 06:15 PM - Edit history (1)

BUNDY RANCH VISIT

The official said both Millers went to the Bundy Ranch near Bunkerville in April, hoping to join a militia standoff with federal agents who were trying to remove Cliven Bundy’s cattle from federal land.

Miller on Facebook said Bundy’s ranch was “under siege,” and he hoped to help save the rancher “and his family from Federal Government slaughter.”

<...>

On his Google+ account, Jerad Miller said he was shunned by the Bundy Ranch group for being a felon. He posted that he and Amanda “sold everything” they had and quit their jobs to go to the ranch.

“As far as I am concerned my government is a fascist enemy,”…. “My family has bled for this nation and our freedoms and I will not let their sacrifice go unanswered without my own sacrifice.”

Update:

Jared Miller's Facebook 'like' page:

Jerad Miller's Facebook "likes" include the NRA, American Patriot Media Network, Support the 2nd Amendment, The Patriot Party, Rand Paul 2016, Ron Paul, the Washington Examiner, Legalize Weed, Draft Judge Andrew Napolitano, the Heritage Foundation, FreedomWorks, American Crossroads, and Allen West.

...and....BENGHAZI!!11!!

Here's a post of his in June:

from the Huffington Post,

" According to police, Walmart shopper Robert Wilcox, 31, was carrying a concealed weapon and confronted Jerad Miller. Wilcox was apparently unaware of Amanda Miller and when he walked by her to confront her husband, she shot him in the rib area."

in cold blood. Too bad the Bundys didn't take their sorry criminal asses in. Maybe they could have had a private gun battle on the ranch.

For crying out loud, I just don't get it.
Look at the rights we have lost since 9/11, and this jaggoff lost HIS freedoms?
What about those they murdered, where was their freedom to live?

They were posing as real patriots, but the Truth will come out. I expect Sean Hannity, Alex Jones, and Glenn Beck will get to the bottom of this, and we'll soon know that Jerad* and Amanda were really Occupy Wall Streeters hopped up on organic granola.

*Jerad? Sort of sounds like "Jihad"! Quick, somebody alert Fox News.

So, it has happened again. This time is a little different. In essence, we have caught the right wingers red handed. We know exactly why these people did what they. Are you listening FOX "News"? You cannot once again pass these people off as outliers and one off freaks. This was not some random individual that you can blame on some mental break. This was a couple. This was premeditated, thought out. This was a couple of "competent" people. Some very good guys with guns were brutally hacked down by some very bad guys with guns. It is not, as the NRA just loves to say, "the way to stop a bad guy with a gun...(you know the rest by heart)". They stand behind this to advocate for a free for all, everybody gets some, everybody carry some, everybody "protect" yourself. The cool thing about guns is that you can be using it before anyone has time to react. The bullet does not come at you at the speed of running. That is why sane, normal people - gun owners or not - are opposed to open carry. If you perturb someone with said open carry object in anyway, they might just lose it and shoot. I mean, really, guns in bars...what could go wrong? I've seen fists fly for spilling a drink. Can you imagine someone with a bit too much either losing it and using their gun or quickly grabbing someone else's gun?

There are many issues wrapped up here. I think the most apparent one in this is that the rhetoric, the hatred, the ignorance has gotten out of hand. These people couldn't and wouldn't understand the Constitution if it bit them in the ass. They are not "Christians", they are not "Patriots", they are simply treasonous idiots influenced by the right wing, teabagger talking points of "hate the government", "hate the emigrants", "hate the non-fake christians", "hate 'the gays'" and block any and all things that a black President might try to accomplish. Let's not forget hate EVERYTHING that any scientist, liberal, union, or anyone else might say. I love it when they rip on hybrid cars, I mean really what's to rip on? I guess they can find no common ground. If we say pollution is bad, they must - by GOD - do everything they can to pollute more.

It is time that we stop giving Rush, FOX, O'Reilly, and the rest of the idiots a free pass. They are, at least in large part, responsible for this action and so many others.

You've sold everything you own to go out and help a welfare cowboy keep his cattle...

...even they don't want you around. What choice do you have but to go on a shooting spree and then commit suicide. It's really the only thing that makes sense.

Is it Nixon/Regan southern strategy rebellion culture? Is it just because they were brainwashed? Is it Fox News? Is it because they scored low on the TMI index? Is it something else?
