[Olog-hai]

He who smelt it, delta it. This stinks to high heaven.

[Scrambler Bob]

What is the possibility of Delta Smelt Sushi?

[Jonty30]

Odds areva smelt has nothing to do with it. It’s an attempt to drive farmers off the land.

[Olog-hai]

It’s California’s version of attacking the kulaks.

[LeoWindhorse]

f the fish , take over and open the water gates

[drypowder]

court decision is simply nothing more than political maneuvering to help the democrat governor Moonbeam in his effort to build the peripheral pipe line in order to send delta water to the LA basin.

[Organic Panic]

The farmers need to present the evidence of how much this hurts ILLEGAL alien laborers. Our overlords don’t care about the citizens or farmers but prove the illegals are hurt and things will change right quick.

[Logical me]

We must win in 2016 no matter who is the nominee selection. We have to quit the childlike crap. So much is needed to reverse things like saving a stupid little fish. How damn dumb. Rotten communists are destroying a strong America for a damn fish?

my thoughts exactly

[Blood of Tyrants]

Bankrupt the farmers and then the government buys the land.

[informavoracious]

You are exactly right. The delta smelt is a red herring. If we had a huge surplus of water and a surplus of smelt, they would find another reason to dump it in the bay. It is all about controlling the farmers and the land.

OMG, not already!!!!

[informavoracious]

And build a high-speed rail through prime agricultural land.

[SpaceBar]

The delta smelt is an introduced fish and is therefore non-native to the Sacramento delta and tributaries, yet it somehow conveniently qualified as ‘endangered’ to crush central valley agriculture like a bug.

[Secret Agent Man]

what makes you think the republican will reverse this?

given the emerging field.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

It’s part of the long term North America Plan. Agriculture is not going to be in CA’s future.

[MeganC]

Odds are (the) smelt has nothing to do with it. It’s an attempt to drive farmers off the land.

No, it's an attempt by the Democrats to justify a $100 billion Delta tunnel project followed by the construction of a third 'conveyance' to send more water to Los Angeles.
