Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy is a hero for facing down just the tip of an evil and corrupt government, bought and paid for by the top .01 percent. If not for the Internet, which the President can shut down on a whim, we would only have a very one-sided picture painting Bundy as a moocher and abusing the rest of us taxpayers!

Why voters re-elected the contemptible Harry Reid back into the Senate after a long list of trespasses against our Constitution defies logic.

Hopefully, the good people of Nevada will follow the money trail that allowed the Bureau of Land Management to be orchestrated to the do the bidding of China and to further line the pockets of Sen. Reid and his family. But then again being elected to the Senate or House of Representatives is almost a guarantee of getting wealthy on the backs of the foolish "little people" who voted them in.
