America's Contradictions

Being instated as an archangel, Satan made himself multifariously objectionable and was finally expelled from Heaven. Halfway in his descent he paused, bent his head in thought a moment and at last went back. "There is one favor that I should like to ask," said he.
"Name it."
"Man, I understand, is about to be created. He will need laws."
"What, wretch! you his appointed adversary, charged from the dawn of eternity with hatred of his soul -- you ask for the right to make his laws?"
"Pardon; what I have to ask is that he be permitted to make them himself."
It was so ordered.
-- Ambrose Bierce

What I find interesting in the BLM case in Nevada is the fact Bundy is grazing on Federal land, the Federal government owns the majority of land in the Western part of the country,  and that he's engaging in an act of civil disobedience. People will argue the merits of this action until they're purple in the face but let me add one thing. The Feds do a good job of breaking down doors and turning peaceful citizens into criminals applying any of the endless number of laws almost incoherently and in an ad hoc manner. Yet, MILLIONS of driver's licenses are being handed over to ILLEGAL aliens in the United States.

There's something drastically wrong - intellectually, politically and morally - with this picture.

No. It's not the same as being anti-immigrant. It's being fair (a word the government just loves using with no ability to actually execute) to citizens (native and immigrant alike) who have earned their right to have the privilege of having a driver's permit. These are symbols of being part of a community - legally.
