I have a buddy who’s a Federal Forestry worker. Sometimes he helps with rare Indian artifacts. Some lefty wanted to stop a developer, so he salted the work site with Indian relics. But he’d bought them from all over. It stopped the work for a short time, then the federal Indian conservation head, a woman, realized what was going on and re-authorized work. They prosecuted the guy who did it. (Don’t recall how it came out.)

Liberals, Commies, enviro-mental freaks - all turned out to support a bird with the parasitical behavior of an Urban Feral Mac Daddy/Urbgan Feral ‘bastard whelper’.

What is such support to be called?

Professional courtesy.

Who cares, it’s an ugly bird anyway...Besides, if they kick people off these lands, there won’t be anyone to see the birds so their existence has no usefulness anyway...

And on top of that, we again are being lied to...

Cattle ranchers are an endangered species but they’re not averse to fighting the feds for survival as patriots Clive Bundy and his supporters have shown.

It’s a shame the Center for Biological Diversity and other enviro-terrorist groups (to include the BLM, EPA, FWS, etc.) are not already extinct, our countries economy would benefit greatly.

A subspecies is not endangered if the species exists in numbers elsewhere. The subspecies is unfit to survive in it’s radically evolved form

So John McCain is an endangered species.

Back in the 70’s my father ran across a woodpecker down near Nacogdoches that was considered to be extinct in the area, made the Dallas Morning News.

Now, he’d shoot the damn thing and bury it rather than let the feds turn his land into a preserve.

alas.... I must confess, I killed a yellow billed cuckoo once.

It flew in front of my truck and was struck. I identified it by the distinctive large white spots on the tail as it was knocked up and over the hood.

Feeling bad about it, I later went back and found the dead bird for positive ID. Cuckoos are rare here but there is a population in spite of the urban habitat.

“OMG - STEAL EVERYONE’S LAND WHERE THESE BIRDS MAY BE LIVING AND/OR FLYING THROUGH!!!!!!! “

This seizure of land by the feds and states has been going on for several decades when one of their so called protected icons might use some private property.

Over a decade ago, a friend, at that time a political moderate owned a piece of property in an urban area. He had built an approved office building and parking lot and rented out offices.

The parking lot was built on one side by a seasonal creek, which only ran and flowed during our winter and early spring rains. It never over flowed except the few times when we basically had flooding in that area.

My friend put in the rolled grass/hay barriers to keep the few inches of overflow from coming into part of his parking lot.

He was told by our Fish and Game Nazis and the enviral Nazis that the red legged frogs might need that water on his parking lot to get to a sometimes seasonal bog on the far side of his parking lot. He was fined and told to remove the rolled grass/hay barriers.

He did and hired a retired F&G biologist to survey the area around his parking lot, the seasonal dry creek, and the small sometime seasonal bog on the other side of his parking lot. After several months and a few thousand $’s the retired biologists submitted a report noting that he and his worker never found any red legged frogs on my friends property and the seasonal creek area. Nor did they find remains of any dead red legged frogs.

So he took the findings to F&G to get them to reverse their finding and to get back the cost of his fines.

Their response was that in spite of zero proof that red legged frogs had ever been on the seasonal creek or on his property. The area looked like an area the red legged frogs might like to live in.

A green Nazi enviral judge throw out his law suit against F&G because of the statement by F&G that the red legged frog might to live in that area.

My friend sold his property by the seasonal dry creek and started a long progression to being a conservative.

Do you suppose the new nation of Aztlan will extend protection to the Yellow-billed Arizona Cuckoo?

Something needs to be done with that out of control feral clan of the Arizona Turkey-Neck KochFetish.

I don’t have time to read this. Is it about McCain or his nutty wife?

Put it in the drawer down at the Audubon Society with all the others that their founder helped send into extinction.

May 10K of endangered fleas from each of 1K camels infest the jock straps of the ghost of Richard Nixon for signing the Endangered Species Act, along with G.H.W. Bush for signing the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts...

AND of every militant/beligerant bureaucratic GovernMental/EnvironMental Pagan religious fanatic employee of either state or federal government enforcement agencies for evermore!!!

Let us fight diligently toward the total seperation of church and state! There is no more "organized religion" than GovernMental EnvironMentalism anywhere in the world, than is North America!!!

We are already supposed to have "Freedom OF Religion," What we need NOW is "Freedom FROM GovernMental/EnvironMental Religion!"

Too bad the yellow spined cuckoo isn’t endangered.... People somehow keep electing him every six years.

In an area half the size of Delaware a few hundred cattle AREN’T stepping on enough tortuises. The bleeding hearts had to find some species that would be more threaten by cattle. Again, a few hundred cattle in 150,000 acres.
