America’s mad cowboy disease: The Bundys’ lunacy has infected our state governments
This is the third time I've come across this article on the 'net.

If you just happen to be in the mood for a wide ranging, left-wing attack on the land transfer movement, the Koch brothers, etc., then this your ticket.
