DEMINT: White House land grab
Washington Times ^ | 3/2/10 | Senator Jim DeMint

Posted on 03/03/2010 6:28:44 AM PST by hope

You'd think the Obama administration is busy enough controlling the banks, insurance companies and automakers, but thanks to whistleblowers at the Department of the Interior, we now learn they're planning to increase their control over energy-rich land in the West.

A secret administration memo has surfaced revealing plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres from Montana to New Mexico, halting job- creating activities like ranching, forestry, mining and energy development. Worse, this land grab would dry up tax revenue that's essential for funding schools, firehouses and community centers.

When we finally rid America of this plague called the Obama Administration. The Federal government should be forced to sell all public lands outside designated National Parks. What right does the Federal government have to own land? The States should control the land.

I'd support him in a heartbeat for President, but I haven't ever heard of any indication he's expressed any interest in running, have you?

DeMint has a mole in this communist administration.

Makes me think O’s administration isn’t going to be happy until they own every business, every home & all land and everyone works for nothing so the gov can dole out what meager pennies it thinks we deserve. Frightening.

The States should control the land.

Maybe if the states had control of the land, they'd be more proactive in throwing the mexican drug cartel occupiers off it.

I always said I will never vote for another Senator, but I might have to reverse my decision.

This sorta thing has been going on in Alaska forever. Less than 2% of our state's land mass is in public hands. Feds come in call it a park, then stifle all economic activity; yet for a 100 years before that point the govt pushed economic development, people moved into area, dedicated their lives to making a life there, and then had the carpet pulled out from under them.

It was a driving force in the formation of the AIP party.

Once the feds come in then it becomes a slow process to depopulate the area. Feds have no business in total land ownership.

Obama did this, Obama did that ... actually, ONE man could not do all this, and be in Savannah for lunch, etc. This is an organization doing this, Obama is just it’s “avatar” ... when will the organization be exposed. The evidence of it is seen every day. Obama wrote the “new, new, new, health care bill”??? Are you kidding me, he’s never in his office. Obama wrote the speech on the Teleprompter, give me a break, he can barely read it. He’s just the avatar for something much larger, and something we didn’t vote for.

DeMint’s coming up huge.

Seems he’s everywhere and taking leadership positions over and over again. Makes you realize what the other Pubbie Senators could be doing as well.

I really do believe that he will have totally ruined this country by the end of one term.

Look at the destruction in only one year. A lot of what they do is done behind our backs while everyone is focused on the large issues like Healthcare.
