    The question is, are you just as ignorant, since you're an apologist for a known shill for cash, pretending to be a journalist, or, are you yet another( just as you asserted was one of the grave sins of the person you responded to) conservative who is willfully ignorant? I sincerely hope it is plain old ignorance, since being willfully ignorant is about as base and despicable as possible. Being an apologist for a proven shill for cash, pretending to be a journalist, yet you cheer him on; I fear that you're just another person on the right so desperate to hear things that sound good to you that you're more than willing to ignore the blatant dishonesty of your compatriots. Spelling can be corrected, as can malignant hypocrisy.

    Why Cliven Bundy lost his claim that the grazing land belonged to the state of Nevada and not the federal government. The 2013 order by Judge Lloyd D. George is a summary judgement against Bundy. It briefly touched on the arguments Bundy made in his unsuccessful 1998 case and cited US v. Gardner (1997). " Thus, as the United States has held title to the unappropriated public lands in Nevada since Mexico ceded the land to the United States in 1848, the land is the property of the United States. The United States Constitution provides in the Property Clause that Congress has the power "to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States." U.S. Const. art. IV, § 3, cl. 2. The Supreme Court has consistently recognized the expansiveness of this power, stating that "[t]he power over the public land thus entrusted to Congress is without limitations." Kleppe v. New Mexico et al Moreover, the Supreme Court has noted that Congress "may deal with [its] lands precisely as an ordinary individual may deal with his farming property. It may sell or withhold them from sale." Light v. United States When Congress invited Nevada to join the Union in 1864, it mandated that the Nevada constitutional convention pass an act promising that Nevada would "forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated public lands lying within said territory, and that the same shall be and remain at the sole and entire disposition of the United States...." Nevada Statehood Act of March 21, 1864 The state constitutional convention did so. Ordinance of the Nevada Constitution. http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=15831637732276368134&q=bundy+v.+united+states+BLM+nevada&hl=en&as_sdt=40000006&as_ylo=1997&as_yhi=1999&as_vis=1#[7]

    so, does the federal government pay real estate taxes to Nevada for the land they say they own?

    Google won't let me onto any pages that allow me to be free, I'm a woman, I'm trying to find out more about Lassen Colleges Gunsmithing courses but every time I try and click on their homepage Google comes back with a "Oops, that page is not available to you or it's no longer there.", Google won't allow me to connect. Google is pro male domination, they were also behind the revolution in Egypt, which has lead to all young Christian girls to be kidnapped and raped and being made to convert over to Islam, so yes, they are anti-government, but they are more in line with pro-Muslim extremism.

    The corrections added to this piece don't go far enough in addressing the gross mischaracterization of BFI. It is good that Karl Haro von Mogel has been offered the opportunity to refute the accusations against him and his organization, but CMD should revisit this organization and their conclusions. When the number of corrections to a piece start to mount up, it seems to me that the original should be scrapped and the issue revisited entirely.
