Texans are proud of their “Don’t Mess With Texas” bumper sticker, and the Bureau of Land Management is about to find out why.
The agency’s Oklahoma Field Office is sticking with the bureau’s position that the federal government has a right to 90,000 acres along the Red River long held in Texas’ control, saying ownership has been settled for generations.“It’s not the BLM making any such claim as to the status of the land,” bureau spokesman Paul McGuire told Breitbart Texas. “That land was a matter that the courts adjudicated decades ago, going back to the 1920s in fact. The Supreme Court settled the matter as to where the public land in the Red River was. So BLM is really just proceeding on those earlier court decisions.”
The bureau announced Wednesday it was taking control over the land, and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has sworn to fight it. Now, Texas General Land Office Commissioner Jerry Patterson has joined the battle, disputing the federal government’s position.

ReplyDeleteIts only the beginning folks. We need to take a stand for our rights and our freedom, if we don't we will lose it all.
ReplyDeleteYou ain't seen anything, wait till they start the land grab for the Keystone Pipe Way. You will hear some screaming then.
ReplyDeleteAnother Bull Shi$ job from Obama
ReplyDeleteA Utah congressman is calling for the disarming of BLM and IRS.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good start, but don't stop there. All agencies outside of law enforcement should not be armed.
And even some law enforcement agencies need to be disarmed, if not disbanded, like a couple in the news lately.
"This land is your land, this land is our land". There are mineral rights, grazing rights, water rights, and power line easements, other easements. Yes, it may be owned by We, the People, who make up the Federal Government, but rights are eased and leased and given freely and have been for hundreds of years.
ReplyDeleteTHAT, folks, is where this stands and stops.
DON'T give in to the Feds. The regs must be changed.
