When the government owns the land it's communism
April 24, 2014 | Jim Robinson

When the government owns the land and natural resources and controls production from same, it's called communism. The Founders intended Americans to enjoy their God-given liberty. The constitution was written to severely restrict government power and ensure freedom. The founders never intended for an all powerful central government to own the land or to control the means of production. They limited the central government to about 18 enumerated powers and left all others to the people and the states to decide locally. The United States was intended to be a free Republic governed at various levels by elected representatives, working within the framework of and restrained by the constitution, not a communist state controlled by unelected bureaucrats and corrupt politicians of a powerful central government.

It's way past time for we the people to tell the bureaucrats and the corrupt crony politicians who unlawfully change the constitution by bureaucratic regulation, congressional act, judicial activism or executive fiat to get lost. If we are ever going to restore our constitution and reclaim our liberty, we're going to have to be a bit more assertive about it.

The current activities in Nevada, Utah and Texas are a wake-up call for the people. When I see men and women determined to fight for our constitution and our freedom against heavily armed, lawless, entrenched bureaucrats, I feel optimistic about our prospects for long lived liberty. We need more of this, not less.

And wouldn't it be interesting to know how much more land is taken out of private ownership or control every year? Be it government or enviro activists with their own brand of tyranny.

Yep- I heard the comment the other day about how the rightwingernut extremists don't believe the government should own any land (unless they are one of those that have the lease allotment) - but they seem to be quite vocal proponents of and seem to have no problem with the government allowing people to own slaves... :(

I recently read this information from the Nevada Journal. It very well may be that I read it as a result of a post on this very forum - I simply don't remember how I got the the Journal's website.

In any event, I found this article to be very informative. You might be interested in reading it.

Who has seriously said that government should allow people to own slaves?

You called them "They", so there must be many.

Or are you just spouting lies again? :roll:

That is very informative. VERY!

What everyone seems to be forgetting here is the over-reach of some whacko extremist environmentalists taking Bundy's grazing rights away that started this whole fiasco.

They cut him back to only being able to graze 150 head which essentially would put him out of the cattle business.

When Gov't owns land, they are too easily persuaded by the uneducated "Greenies" to take it away from commerce and set it aside for the wolves, buffalo, and turtles to live on happily ever after. :roll:
