They need to designate Washington D.C. a wilderness area.


And Detroit.

Good afternoon.
“Too bad the lobbyists and the rest of the marrons that run that place aren’t ‘endangered species’.”

They are. They just haven’t figured out yet that they will go down with the nation they are destroying.

“Eastern liberals have already locked up much of the West’s land and treated Westerners like a colony of the federal government. If they want another Sagebrush Rebellion, do bring it on!!!”

This is part of the UN blueprint for North America. In their “vision” there will be wildlife corridors running from Canada to Mexico, most of the inhabitants will live in cities and the US will be primarily an agricultural nation that feeds the rest of the world.

Hunting, fishing and other recreational activities often are NOT allowed.

Why not have a wilderness area in the Catskills...

We have a pretty sizable wilderness areas in the Adirondacks and the Allegheny region of NY. The Catskills State Park is significantly smaller, but there is one.

What is Agenda 21?

I’ll bet that 80% of the people on this website don’t know the answer!

Whatever happened to states rights? Why even have states if the government can come in and tell them what to do with their land?”

One of the last things Bill Clinton did was to designate about 7 million acres of land in So Utah as off limits. He had assured the lawmakers from Utah right up to the last minute that he was NOT going to do this. And the coward signed the bill on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, in Arizona on Labor Day weekend.
He stopped VERY CLEAN coal production that was scheduled to start within weeks. Jobs were already filled, and coal leases had been paid for to the land owners. The next “cleanest coal” was known to be in Indonesia, and the overseas contributers to his campaigns were sending considerable money from there, which I still believe was totally illegal.
Hitlery would do that and more is she were ever to sit legally in the Oval Office, IMO.

He did a similar thing in California. He took state waters— the Monterey Bay, and turned them into a federal sanctuary. This has effectively caused all use of the bay to cease exept for a few sail boaters and of course the behemoth research ships owned by the Monterey Bay Aquariam’s research facility. They have banned any commercial use of the water by cruise lines and have also effectively banned the US Navy from entering the bay.

The sanctuary has its own armed police force and they will shoot to kill if they think you are disturbing the wildlife.

If you disturb the sea bed by removing a cup of sand (true story) you need a documented chain of possesion of multiple human beings until that sand is deposited in its destination.

Seems like people on both coast take pleasure in dictating on how we live our lives. On word to those people, "butt out and mind your own business....".

< sarcasm >

We people on the East Coast know what's good for you in flyover territory. Listen to us, we know better. Our one size fits all prescription needs to be followed to a tee !

You are partly correct. The fruitful, productive areas that are feeding the world right now are smack dab in the area that they want completely off limits. Don’t know how we can feed ourselves, much less the rest of the world if this is allowed to happen. Complete destruction of the east-west railroads and Interstates is also called for. Look carefully at the group that worships “Gaia”.

Do a search on returning America to a state of wilderness. I understand these people have changed their name so as to be less threatening to Mr.and Mrs. Sheeple.
LOL...
This debate beats Global Warming!
Do we restore the forests to their pre-European state or do we we take it back to pre-man?

"This is an absolutely offensive attempt by East Coast liberals to create sweeping, over-reaching laws for Western public lands without any public input from the folks living in Wyoming who would be heavily impacted by this legislation,"

Maybe it's time to return the public lands to the people.
