New Bundy development ..... Desecration of the flag of the United States

"The Bundy Flag" would appear to be tacked up on a wall at Malheur NWR

It is nice to see that they respect the U.S. FLAG as much as the U.S. Constitution.

Grade school writing on the wall type stuff.

Just heard on NPR that Ammon is going to have a grazing contract burning party on Sunday with locals?

When a symbol of liberty is more important than actual liberty, your democracy is done.

Desecrating a flag is done to express an opinion, something supposedly protected by the First Amendment.

What's with the demographically outsized Mormon involvement in this?
Is it just that BLM owns lots of land out West, or is it something else?
What is it that drives the Mormon presence?

of utah where major corporations along with federal government "installations" are in bed with the mormon church - more specifically, natural resource based / focused corporations. they want federal land privatized so that they will have easier access to exploiting the natural resources - water, minerals, etc.

they spit on the Constitution and write on the flag.

Hypocrites abound.

I agree with Kelvin's remarks upthread.

But instead of the usual penalty for sedition, strip them of their citizenship and deport them to Somalia. There they can love their guns and not have the gubmint get in their way.
