    Maybe Bill Ayers will dedicate his next book to them.

    What about the #BlackLivesMatter folks who burned down Baltimore and Ferguson?

    What's Happening in Oregon Is Nothing Less Than Armed Sedition

    "There is no actual tyranny in this country against which to take up arms. There is bureaucratic inertia. There is pigheaded bureaucracy. There even is political chicanery. But there is no actual tyranny in the Endangered Species Act, or in the Bureau of Land Management, or in the Environmental Protection Agency, or in the Affordable Care Act, or in IRS dumbassery, or even in whatever it is that the president plans to say about guns in the next week or so. Anyone who argues that actual tyranny exists is a dangerous charlatan who should be mocked from the public square. Anyone who argues that there is out of political ambition, or for their own personal profit, should be shunned by decent people until they regain whatever moral compass they once had.

    It does us no good to ignore what is going on in this obscure little corner of the Pacific Northwest. It does us no good to refuse to hold to account the politics that led to this, and the politicians who sought to profit from it. It does us no good to deny that there is a substantial constituency for armed sedition in this country, and to deny the necessity of delegitimizing that constituency in our politics, and the first step in that process is to face it and to call it what it is."

    Grievances? They are a couple of weeks too late for that. Festivus is over.

    Sure, you can say stupid shit like that, but there is nobody on this board who is a better writer or more intelligent than Pierce. Not even close.

    He referred to a National Wildlife Refuge that is open for hiking, camping and hunting to the general public, as a "bird sanctuary". He's lost all credibility on the subject!

    Right @Inky_Wretch?

    I remember the clutching of pearls when Homeland Security issued a report in early 2009 warning of veterans becoming radicalized. Then I see several of the leaders of this group are recent combat vets. Maybe that report shouldn't have been pooh-poohed after all.

    "Several of the Leaders". LOL.

    There's something like 30 people there total. How many leaders can there be in a group of 30?

    Pierce's talent is making sure you can see the spittle in his prose. Otherwise, his writing is awful.

    I'd spot Pierce several IQ points, and I would still win.
