This is today's POLITICO front-page headliner, dear readers. I'll leave it to ya'll to decide if this is a legit news story or a desperate, cobbled-together attempt to get us mouth-breathing bambi-killers riled at those nasty, penny-pinching Republicans who aren't throwing enough money at the Endangered Species Act and Fish & Wildlife.

Look, cuts mean cuts. That means everyone. Quit yer bitchin.

I live in a state with a very large hunting population and I haven’t heard a peep out of them.

... Whit Fosburgh, president and CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, ...

Dear ol' Whit is as far from a "sportsman" as you can get. He is an enviro-demon.

This is the cost of Obama’s Stimulus, when you blow your money at the bar on your buddies and payoffs to the union, what you gonna do when the rent is due?

[GOP_Party_Animal]

The only sportsmen that are at all “riled” are those that walk into a store and say, “Can I get me a huntin’ license here?”.

Whit Fosburgh-Global Warming & Coldwater Fisheries

Whit Fosburgh’s presentation will focus on issues regarding global
warming, its impact on cold water fisheries, and its affect on trout and
salmon. At the heart of Whit’s presentation is a theme titled “A
Conservation Agenda”, which will bring to bare questions and answers
about what we can do to address those issues.

Cuts are needed, and I realize my sacred cows are not immune just because they’re mine.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Oh, how is it we ever had any wildlife before the Federal Government got involved?

[elpadre]

The entire country needs to get with the program and not just anticipate significant cuts in favorite programs, but welcome them.

In a nearby city the USPO wants to close the old downtown post office which is lightly used to cut costs, and has no parking area.. The main postoffice in no more than two miles away, easy to access and plenty of parking.

Downtown business people, probably many Republicans, are howling about the inconvenience. IMO we need to close this and many other government operations and get this runaway economy under control.

Allows for salaries and benefits of government-employed, PhD. biologists to continue.

BTW, cut away. With fewer persons paid to be busybodies, we’re on a path to more freedoms.

Most of those groups are just fronts to try and sway voter opinion....”Seee...I’m just like you! We are all on the same side!” To those fake groups and their leaders I say Not hardly you limp-wristed jackwagons. Just another ploy by the leftists out there to try and camo themselves to be anything but what they actually are and get the terminally stupid to go along with them, which usually means congress.

Well, that's all you really need to know, isn't it.
