I'd be interested in knowing the source of that particular bit of information. I mean, did they conduct a poll:
1) Do you oppose this legislation?
2) Do you call this legislation a land grab?
3) Are you a Republican?
What a pile of crap.

WASHINGTON – Congress has voted to set aside more than 2 million acres in nine states as protected wilderness — from California's Sierra Nevada mountains to the Jefferson National Forest in Virginia.
The legislation, which opponents, mostly Republicans, called a "land grab" that would block energy development on vast swaths of federal land, is on its way to President Barack Obama for his likely signature.
The House passed the bill, 285-140, Wednesday, the final step in a long legislative road that began last year.
The vote came two weeks after the House rejected the bill amid a partisan dispute over gun rights. The measure was brought up again in the Senate, which approved it 77-20, setting up Wednesday's vote.
The bill — a collection of nearly 170 separate measures — represents one of the largest expansions of wilderness protection in a quarter-century. It confers the government's highest level of protection on land in California, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.

Blocking land with energy to keep Obama’s bosses the Saudis happy. the states need to take ALL of this land back using the 10th Amendment.
Makes sense, gotta have collateral for Chicom loans when the SHTF.
I think it’s time for a new “Sagebrush Rebellion”..don’t you!
Write it down. Our own Cahiers de doléances.
When the alternative energy fantasy ends in more economic collapse, hunger and freezing, our limp brained politicians will have things so screwed up it will take twenty years to dig ourselves out of the hole. The commies will have achieved their tyranny with no energy to make their nightmare work.
Who owns the land now? Is it private or state owned? The article really doesn’t educate.
Sovereignty resolutions are nice, but, if things like this land grab are to stop, the States must openly resist the bloated federal government. I don't mean violence, but the States must do more than bitch.
more USA loan collateral?
They’re at it again.
On the bright side, More and more people who ride dirt bikes, drive rhinos,
rock crawlers, 4X4 are starting to get pissed.
Now maybe they will participate in removing these nitwits from office.
Thanks for the ping!
So there are only 20 real republicans in the Senate?
We’re toast! - We need to replace over 40 Senators just to be able to press on the brakes to stop tyranny.

What a pile of crap.
Reviving the old Enviro-NAZI-Property rights list by unpopular disgust.
If you’ve had enough and want off the list, yank my cord!
On the other hand, almost daily there are miners, hunters, drillers, and ranchers - or their families - in spending money.
BTTT
“On the bright side, More and more people who ride dirt bikes, drive rhinos, rock crawlers, 4X4 are starting to get pissed.

Based on what has happened in South Florida, don’t bet the farm on the above premise.
DOwn in the Everglades, the hunters and the airboat association, the half track association, etc. - all bellied up to the bar of socialism.
They made possible the creation of the Big Cypress National Preserve.
Now, there are some 8% of the original users, and user days.
