They have been found innocent in a court of law by a jury of their peers, and yet the government refuses to release them. They are being held right now against their will at a high security prison in Seattle by a government that doesn\u2019t follow its own laws. Jailed for nine months its long past time to release them and insist that the government start following its own laws. Ammon and Ryan Bundy are not guilty of anything. They have been found not guilty of everything in Federal Court by a jury of their peers and in spite of all of this after a six week long trial the government refuses to let them go.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9599\" style=\"width: 309px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9599\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9599\" src=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Gaddhafi_Muammar.jpg\" alt=\"Muammar Gaddhafi beaten before being killed\" width=\"299\" height=\"168\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9599\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Muammar Gaddhafi beaten before being killed<\/p><\/div>\n<p>What kind of a country have we become in the last sixteen years, and especially in the last eight years under Barack Obama? We have become a country whose government picks and choses what laws it will obey at home and which foreign leaders of other countries will remain in power abroad. We are a country that bombs other countries if we don\u2019t like their governments, or supports coups that overthrows their leaders. We did it in Iraq. We did it in Libya. We did it in Ukraine and now we are trying to do it again in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2342\" style=\"width: 269px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2342\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2342\" src=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/American-Embassy-personnel-murdered-in-Libya.jpg\" alt=\"Murders of Americans at Benghazi\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2342\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Murders of Americans at Benghazi<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We are a country that turned a blind eye to the deaths of our own Ambassador and three other brave Americans at Benghazi.

We are a country with a corrupt legal system that finds nothing wrong or unusual about a former President meeting with the Attorney General during an FBI investigation into his wife\u2019s wrongful activity as Secretary of State.<\/p>\n<p>We have become a country that doesn\u2019t follow the Constitution. We are a country that boasts about being a Nation of laws yet our government picks and choses which laws it will follow and which laws it won\u2019t follow. We have gone from a country where Blacks picked cotton for Democrats on a plantation to a country where Blacks slavishly pick Democrats from the\u00a0descendants of those\u00a0same plantation owners. \u00a0The new\u00a0plantation is the Democratic Party, and\u00a0this year it is\u00a0running Hillary Clinton to be our\u00a0next President.
