I it just me or is it odd that Escopeda and Madbolter1 seem to alternate in posting? It seems to go for days at a stretch when it is either one or the other. Lets see if that changes now or perhaps a new clone will magically appear.

I don't think so there are people on here that know both of them.

HighDesertDJ: Thanks. I'm finally starting to figure that one out.

I guess his computer is only programmed to crank out condescending one-liners.

That occurred to me too, especially when Escopeta started quoting Locke, but Madbolter's typical MO was a refusal to differentiate between objective facts and (his) opinions or (his) philosophy. No matter how delusional, however, his opinions and philosophy were much more consistent and always thought provoking, not merely pot-stirring.

Isn't it sad when Escopeta responds with emotion instead of logic?

Isn't it sad you waste your time worrying about Stewart wasting his time worrying about what Escopeta says.

And yes I'm a crankaloon too:-)

On the topic of the Matheus (SP in honor of Fritz) National Wildlife Refuge take over. Since the Hammond Case was clearly not sufficient; it would be curious to know what, if anything, could be the spark...the genesis.....the antecedent that might cause people here to act in support of something. Or in rebellion from it.

What transgression could the government possibly do that might inspire the ST crankloons to rise up and join the fight?

Anyone care to hazard a guess? The mind reels.

Until such time as courts and elections no longer function, rest assured that the only fight the people will rise up to join would be in opposition to your self-styled patriots.

I suggest you read more of the Hammond case if you think it was a cause worth dying for (a generally higher bar than a cause worth killing for). While the mandatory minimum sentence may have been excessive, it was the law when they set the two fires and it was the law when they admitted in court to setting both fires. As part of sentencing negotiations, the Hammonds acknowledged that they were aware of this mandatory minimum. If the government had really wanted to railroad them, they could have requested the five year sentences for both counts of arson be consecutive, not concurrent.

If twenty armed Muslims took over a government building demanding the immediate release of all inmates from Guantanamo Bay, they'd have a far better legal and moral position than the Bundyites, they'd even have a far larger segment of the population support their aims. That still wouldn't make them right.

TradEddie: Well stated.

Escopeta has yet to explain how his fairyland ruled by heavily armed bands of thugs in thrall to the 1%ers is somehow going to be an improvement upon Democracy.

I guess it's because he can't.

If the fed government starting giving away public land to ranchers or states (more than it already does with grazing leases), I might be inspired to do something.
