The U.S. Bureau of Land Management says their Nevada cattle round up is a last resort, while long-time rancher Cliven Bundy says his rights are being infringed on.  Who's side are you on?

CNN has the story:

Here's a statement from Bundy according to CNN:

"My forefathers have been up and down the Virgin Valley ever since 1877. All these rights I claim have been created through pre-emptive rights and beneficial use of the forage and the water. I have been here longer. My rights are before the BLM even existed," Bundy told the station.

When it comes to politics, I'm dumb. I admit that.  I understand that the world is not black and white, there is a LOT of grey.  Knowing that, I'm still a bit of a boy scout.  Rules are rules.

So if this CNN article does actually speak the truth, then Bundy needs to either pay up or move his cattle.  Just because you had something one way for a VERY long time and then it changes, does not mean you get to throw a hissy fit and get your way.  It might not be fair, but life is not fair.

If I were him, I'd fight it too, but it seems he has lost that fight.  Don't mess with our federal officers.  I have family who are feds, so maybe I'm just sentimental, but our federal officers are our brother and sisters too.

So who's side are you on?
