Obama's 'Culture of Intimidation' Seen At The Bundy Ranch

The standoff at the Bundy Ranch last weekend in Nevada seems to be only the tip of iceberg when it comes to threats, bullying and intimidation employed by the Obama Administration's "culture of intimidation."

The Washington Times wrote:

Sending scores of armed agents along with helicopters and dogs to confront an elderly Nevada rancher over grazing fees may seem like overkill, but critics say it’s not inconsistent with the federal government’s recent approach to environmental enforcement. 

The simmering truce between the Bundys and the Bureau of Land Management comes after high-profile raids last year by armed federal agents on small-time gold miners in tiny Chicken, Alaska, and guitar makers at the Gibson Guitar facilities in Tennessee.

That doesn’t include more subtle threats, such as recent efforts by the Obama administration to raise grazing fees or pressure permit holders to transfer their water rights as a condition of renewal, said Ryan Yates, director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau.

Thankfully, armed Bundy supporters are remaining at the ranch. They are patrolling the ranch and are on the lookout for a return of the BLM. This may be due in part to Sen. Harry Reid's flapping mouth the other day when he said that "it's not over." Sounds like a not-too-veiled-threat to me.

Considering where Obama is from, Chicago, famous for "Gestapo tactics" that were decried by Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut in 1968, this really shouldn't have come as any surprise.
