Cliven Bundy and his family claim that they can trace their family ownership back to around the 1870s on their current property in Clark County...This corresponds with the Homestead rights that were established during the Lincoln administration in 1862 to entice people to settle the western frontier and expand the U.S. agricultural enterprises. This 19th-century policy was meant to encourage and support settlement by families like the Bundys. Now, over 150 years later, what seemed to be borderless country surrounding small-town Bunkerville in Nevada is an inhospitable petri dish for the experiments of growing Federal regulations.---Monica Morrillcomment:
I don't know the validity of Bundy's claims, but it seems to me to be another example of how the government does not want the average man to succeed. The government is looking more and more like a criminal enterprise.
