Sadly, he wasn’t far off— in our opinion, this is just one step of a larger campaign to sell out our public lands for oil and gas and other development. Don’t let lawmakers put these iconic landscapes on the market. [More]Better to create off-limits wildlands, where sustainable village inhabitants are forbidden to go except for those needed to service the exclusive access-enjoying globalist elites... right?
Besides, if there's one thing we've learned from all this Bundy business is there's no better steward of western and other lands than federal bureaucrats and enforcers. And since when has the human condition ever been improved by logging, mining, energy development and ranching?
Say, that ditch looks like a navigable waterway to us...
Conservation is worthy. And there's a balance. I don't see it offered here, especially though the unveiled use of Alinsky Rule 5 ridicule.

I wonder if Kate MacKay of the Wilderness Society knows about another beautiful 'Trophy Property' that might soon be changing hands. It's the Hammond Ranch, nestled in between two sections of the Malheur National Wildlife Area. It's owners, Dwight and Steven Hammond, are currently in federal prison for setting a back burn to protect their property from an encroaching wildfire. Their family may be forced to sell the ranch to the government, who holds the right of first refusal as a result of their plea agreement on charges of domestic terrorism.
This is the kind of land deal I'm sure Ms. MacKay and the Wilderness Society can really get excited about, even if it destroys a small family rancher and his family in the process
