‘Pissed as hell’ rancher blows up at Bundy militants: ‘I’m not going let some other people be my fac



Harney County resident Georgia Marshall delivered a scathing condemnation of Ammon Bundy’s militants and called on them to end their armed occupation of the nearby Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

At a county meeting on Wednesday night, Harney County Sheriff David Ward expressed frustration that Bundy’s group had refused to leave the federal property even after they had been ordered to do so. Bundy has maintained that he will “go home” when local ranchers begin to assert their rights over federal lands.

Marshall has been described by local residents as “the most soft spoken person in town,” but she was fired up when she took the microphone on Wednesday.

The Harney County resident of 64 years explained that she was a rancher and had devoted years working with officials to modernize the handling of federal lands.

“The progress we’ve made in this community compared with the sh*t we went through years ago when you could not stand in talk to a manager,” she told the crowd. “Granted, it’s not a lot of progress but it’s coming.”

...


“We are the poster child of the ranching community, of the environmental community, of the government community!” she exclaimed. “Have we ever had anybody put together a refuge plan in this god damn nation? Hell, no, we haven’t! But it happened here and it happened in Harney County.”

I don't think that big guy behind you will allow you to back down.

Hasn't religion in this country been interesting lately? When I say lately, I mean decades.
