Hello, Patriots.
A few important observations in the wake of the latest news out of Nevada.
As many are already aware, BLM agents have stood down in the face of increasing tensions surrounding the immediate area of the Bundy Ranch. Citing deep (and legitimate) concerns about the potential for armed conflict, the federal government has directed its law enforcement assets to not pursue any further action against the Bundy family or their property at this time. In and of itself, this is good news.
However, claims have surfaced in the aftermath that this is somehow a definitive "victory" for Cliven Bundy and his supporters, and it should be pointed out that this is a terribly misguided conclusion to jump to right now. While we should applaud and affirm the fact that there likely isn't to be a violent resolution to the Bundy affair in the short term, the reality is that NO ONE should assume that there won't be at some point down the road. In NO way should the federal government's recent actions be perceived as "backing down" or conceding victory to Cliven Bundy and those of us who affirm individual liberty and property rights.
Anyone who does perceive the government's actions this way should take special note of remarks by Senator Harry Reid made late this past week when he overtly and blatantly referred to Bundy supporters as "domestic terrorists." Such an arrogant, misguided, not to mention hypocritical, statement should tell those of us who are awake and paying attention all we need to know about where this situation currently stands; as well as where it might be headed.
Bottom line: we are still at a cross-roads between revolution and peaceful slavery. Whether the matter gets resolved peacefully or via violent means remains to be determined. But supporters and defenders of liberty should still regard Cliven Bundy and his ranch as a flashpoint for the battle for individual rights. And we must continue to stand ready to support courageous individuals like Cliven Bundy whenever the need may arise; to include taking up arms against tyranny, if necessary.
On a separate note, as Easter weekend approaches, I pray that those of us that adhere to the Christian faith will take time to commemorate the ultimate act of defiance and rebellion; that of Jesus Christ when He defied Satan and gave His life so that mankind could live free from the tyranny of sin. For those of us who do NOT adhere to the Christian faith, however, my hope and prayer is that the message of the Cross will resonate with you nonetheless and that you too will be moved to continue fighting against tyranny in its every form.
Christ is ALIVE!!! Matthew 28:5-6.
Until next week, stay vigilant!
