On the list of insane public policy moves we have come to expect from the current administration, Cap and Tax, Obamacare and Union Card Check, a fourth has garnered relatively little attention, although the implications for all Americans may be among the most far-reaching. The recurring theme is centralized control.
On Monday, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California will host a rare Congressional Field Hearing. A Congressional delegation will venture out of the beltway and actually devote time to a problem in our country. Better yet, they will be listening to real citizens. Sort of.
At issue is what residents are calling a government-made drought in the Central and San Joaquin Valleys of California. Legal and environmental regulations in the Endangered Species Act has resulted in the diversion of 200 billion gallons of water from the agricultural heartland of California into the Ocean.

Communists have often starved their opponents.
In California water equals food. So Obama is saying that food is not a right but a privilege.
Actually, since water is even more a “green house gas” than CO2, then water is a pollutant. Must be regulated and controlled, no?
Hannity did a special on this a while ago. It is really dreadful. Fertile lands are turning into dust bowls as a result of the insane environmentalist ruling of an idiot judge, who ordered turning off the water, because it inconvenienced some tiny fish. If it was so bad for the fish, how did it survive all these years?!
One way or another, the “Progressives” seek population decline. Either through abortion/infanticide, sacrificing those they deem not worthy of life saving/extending health services, political and economic machinations leading to further employment loss and subsequent deaths due to same, starvation and dehydration.
The lunatics will have their long sought purge of humanity from Mother Gaea by any methods and means available.
It's like Pharoah telling the slaves to make brick without straw.
So true.
It worked for Stalin....and the 0bamaoists seek to repeat history.
So, elective surgery that kills children is a RIGHT but Water that is necessary for survival is a ‘privledge’?!?!

Idiocy ping.
This clearly imperial and not just forgetting where the power comes from but an outright rejection of the principles of power in the US.
The more times they say that this or that is not a right it is a privilege the more I resent them. They don’t just assert that the fruits of our labor and our nation are now theirs to allocate...THEY BELIEVE IT! If they stay very much longer they will have to be removed.
The list, ping
“I the Government”
Slight modification:
It begins with, “I won.”
After that it goes something like this, “I won, therefore I am in control of even the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, the shelter over your head, your wealth and your health.”
Yes they do! :) Of course, idiots think alike too. ;)
No that this matters but the fish isn’t even native to the area.
The death panel extends its grasp to water.
