T***hfully no.... our system was never perfect and will never be perfect.... a constitutional republic is an experiment not tried before, it is ever evolving.... for the right to claim we have chaos is a poor excuse for not getting your way, like it or not we share this country with many others who have wants and needs that may differ from yours, The claim to " take our country back" is one of the most foolish, selfish, self centered comments to date, you are trying to take back something you never had, As an American citizen all you have is the right to obey the laws of this land... Other wise you can leave and go some where better or prison , you are free to choose what you want to do, everything else you obey the law and pay your way.

emarine, "We the People" own this land. The government is our government. We do not belong to the government.
The land I own has been in my family since the 1850s. I am an individual, as is each American citizen, not to be herded or stampeded into going anywhere, and through God's grace, I have always "paid my way."
Cliven Bundy, as did his ancestors before him, did everything in his power to obey the "laws" of this land.
If obeying the law was the issue at stake, where are the fifty one (51) other ranchers who were unable to contest the government's heavy hand, and were forced to leave the area?
This was and is the government's plan for Cliven Bundy.
The mistake the elitist progressives have made is in foolishly believing they can "evolve" the Constitution of the United States to a wiser, more high minded place than our founding fathers, by forcing their will upon the American people as though they are like sheep.
As an American, I, as do my fellow citizens, have a right to have my opinion and preferences considered before my Congress changes or establishes any new law, and not by jamming unwanted and unnecessary laws through by slight of hand in the dark of the night.
Those progressives, both Democrat and Republican, who arrogantly and mistakenly believe themselves to be worthy of ruling over the so called "common men" within our nation, have brought upon us all utter chaos, through a utopian inability to see themselves as they are, and the world as it is.
