http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2014/05/02/cliven-bundy-and-his-moocher-militia-mercy-to-the-guilty-is-cruelty-to-the-innocent/Long post with pics, don't have the ability to copy it all from there to here with this friggin' kludge of a mobile device.

The differences between that part of Nevada and Eastern Ukraine are fast disappearing.
