Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy hailed as patriot, ripped as lawless deadbeat - Washington Times
Rancher Cliven Bundy’s standoff with the Bureau of Land Management
has prompted a national debate over whether the elderly Nevada
cattleman is a patriotic freedom fighter or a lawless renegade.
Mr. Bundy
owes more than $1 million in back grazing fees, but he contends that
the federal government’s rules are increasingly rigged against
Westerners who have long made their living off the public lands.
The debate stood in sharp relief this week as conservative commentator Pat Buchanan criticized the BLM
for overreacting to an “unpaid bill” while a liberal activist
announced that he’s planning to hold a 30-day, rules-free “Bundyfest”
across from the ranch in Bunkerville, Nev.
