Cliven Bundy believes that God was on his side during the standoff. Isn't that what every megalomaniac believes?

Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy claims the April confrontation between the federal government and his armed supporters was part of an age-old spiritual battle between good and evil. 

Bundy, a Mormon, told an Independent American Party gathering in St. George, Utah, on Saturday that God provided him personal inspiration in the showdown over cattle in Bunkerville, Nevada, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas. 

“The Lord told me … if [the local sheriff doesn’t] take away these arms from federal agents, we the people will have to face these arms in a civil war. He said, `This is your chance to straighten this thing up,’” Bundy said, according to The Spectrum of St. George. 

Bundy said people from across the country rallied around him because they were “spiritually touched,” and he suggested they would not have prevailed had God not been on their side. 

“If the standoff with the Bundys was wrong, would the Lord have been with us?” he asked, noting no one was killed as tensions escalated. “Could those people that stood [with me] without fear and went through that spiritual experience … have done that without the Lord being there? No, they couldn’t.” 

Those people stood with Bundy without fear becasue they trusted that their government would not open fire on them without provocation.

Sadly the federal agents who were simply doing their jobs did not have the same assurances.

Combining this kind of mystical magical thinking, with the sovereign citizen mentality, and military style weaponry. means that it is only a matter of time before some anti-government moron suddenly decides to become a martyr for the cause by killing a federal agent and getting his ass blown away.

The Feds are doing the right thing by waiting it out and going through legal channels to deal with Bundy. But this mindset of good vs evil, citizens vs the government, shows no signs of tapering off.
