Culled out (another 1 million jobs at risk)
ESPN Outdoors ^ | 3/10/2010 | greeneyes

Posted on 03/10/2010 12:40:37 AM PST by greeneyes

The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing some of the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters.

Better get ready to write your Congress Critters. Unemployed and other Americans will not be allowed to "fish for food".

These angling advocates have come to suspect that public input into the process was a charade from the beginning.

Welcome to the party, gentlemen.

As ESPN previously reported, WWF, Greenpeace, Defenders of Wildlife, Pew Environment Group and others produced a document entitled "Transition Green" shortly after Obama was elected in 2008. What has happened since suggests that the task force has been in lockstep with that position paper.

Hmmm...that paper sounds interesting. I'm going to have to research that.

Morlock fears that "what we're seeing coming at us is an attempted dismantling of the science-based fish and wildlife model that has served us so well. There's no basis in science for the agendas of these groups who are trying to push the public out of being able to fish and recreate.

Gee, I thought Obama was going to put science in her rightful place? *snicker*

Yeh, I know what you mean. I saw this article and it just felt like someone kicked me in the stomach.

My Dad loved to fish and hunt. We went camping every weekend when I was growing up so he could fish at bullshoals, Tablerock, Bennet Springs etc etc. Lots of good eating.

I just ask everyone to pray that God delivers us from this evil that is tearing down our country, and stripping Americans of our freedom.

“Obama’s a em-effer.”

I am not sure what that is - so I’ll take your word for it.

He keeps listening to the enviro-wackos and there will be more than a million jobs possbily being lost. Them lamenuts had there way, we all would be rubbing our hands together to stay warm because we would not be allowed to go out and cut down a tree to use for firewood because they have spiked every last tree there is. =.=

No offense to you, but that ain't going to slow down this Marxist takeover one bit.

Hmmm...no naming of specific areas where fishing is to be banned.

Well it’s better than doing nothing, and I think it has slowed the healthcare bill down. If you have a better plan, I am all ears.

I have fished in the Florida Keys for 35 years now, recreationally as well as part time commercial fishing. I’ve watched as the great shrimping fleets had their livelihoods destroyed over the hand wringing of environmental interests.
I gave up my part time commercial fishing in the mid 1990’s when it became too much work to maintain paperwork the Federal Fishocrats required.
Now, year by year more stretches of ocean are closed to all human traffic.
Fishing in the remaining open areas is then reduced through closed seasons on certain species. This year they have closed all fishing for a variety of Groupers, in the months December-April. Spawning season they say. 35 years I never saw a grouper in those months with roe or milt. On and on it goes for all of the snappers as well. I know lots of fisherman, charter, commercial and recreational, everyone grumbles about what impacts their interests, but through Divide and Conquer, the Fishocrats pit one against the other.

Mindless bureaucrats are in every facet of life, creating more rules to increase their powers and at the same time destroy the free will of independent people.

My Dad went fishing in the Florida Keys in 1956 and 1957. We enjoyed the trips a lot. It is so distressing when government becomes such a behmoth.

I don't know anything about the following author and haven't even read the whole piece. IMO, he might lean a little to the left on the issue, but glean through it for whatever you can get out of it. I just want the facts and haven't seen 'em, yet.

ESPN claims Obama is about to ban fishing
March 9, 4:03 PM Charlotte Fishing Examiner
Jeffrey Weeks

"In what may be the worst example of outdoor sports reporting in the history of America, ESPN has claimed that President Barack Obama is on the verge of banning recreational fishing."

There’s going to be an awful lot of extremely PO’d people over this. The vast majority of people who fish believe in a healthy , clean environment. Fishing teaches kids important skills. Nature belongs to us to enjoy. Taking this away is mind-boggling.

The article title says “Culled Out”.

It’s more like “Called Out”, they are taking away rights to freedom at a breakneck speed I would have never dreamed possible, with an “in your face” attitude and arrogance that they do not think will be challenged.

The question remains, will it be challenged? When?

Neither of the political parties will make government any smaller. Avoid unnecessary purchases. Do everything that you can to cut your energy costs. Become more self-sufficient each month, and start a hobby of manufacturing a useful necessity. Starve the beast. She needs big revenues to continue. She’s spending too much and heading for default. Give her a little nudge.
