...

U.S. Rep., Steve Pearce, R-N.M., .. The Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision to cater to environmental groups and disregard science will devastate New Mexico’s way of life,” he said. “New Mexicans will pay the price in lost jobs, industry, ranching and oil and gas production.”

We have the same EPA stupidity in Kansas. We have had a drought. When the rains come back, the wildlife will come back. It is as simple as that.

Thats always our stock excuse for anything like this. If we can’t destroy God’s Creation we scream “women and children hurt the most!”

Yes we do have the same stupidity in KS. When experiencing heavy rains recently, EPA attempted to claim excess runoff was "federally protected" under the Rivers and Streams provision.

We notified them that this was certainly not a river, not a stream and not even a creek, it was a ditch that had filled due to heavy rains for three days in a row! They still claimed that there was "protected species living in that water."

Fortunately, Mother Nature took care of the situation, i.e. rain stopped, sun came out, ditch dried up!

‘We have the same EPA stupidity in Kansas.’

I dealt with these guys in the early 80’s and can tell you this is not stupidity this is all about control. In the business I was in we called em Chock Full a Nuts, and they were. They are also very dangerous to what little freedom we still have. They are true believers.

The part of the state being attacked was solidly conservative. And Steve Pearce is a good man.

If truer words exist, they have not been heard. People who are stupid enough to confuse a dry ditch with a navigable waterway do not obtain government employment because they are incapable of doing the paperwork, in fact they are all sitting in a corner blowing spit bubbles. The truth is they cannot just come out and say that they intend to wreck your life just for the pure joy of doing it so they have to act as if they are idiots who don’t know Shiite from Shinola and dare you to do something about it.
