Cliven Bundy has been refusing to pay the grazing fees for 20 years. Sorry, the right wing conspiracy theory that Reid's son and the Chinese want to use that land for a solar farm is complete bunk. The claim came from the personal blog Godfather Politics. And even if it were true, it's moot. Bundy is a deabeat. It's that simple. The "Ancestral Grazing rights" he's attempting to claim have never existed. Nevada was bought by the Federal Government of the US from Mexico in 1848. When his ancestors began grazing their cattle on that land it was already Federally owned property and had been for 29 years. Hell even The Blaze (you know, Glen Beck's website) doesn't buy the Solar Farm Theory. *
