This year alone, due to a mishmash of very stupid environmental laws and regulations, the federal government is responsible for allowing over 6.2-million acres (9,688 square miles) of good timber to burn. That's about double the annual average and this is still just August.

These green radicals demonstrate a very warped view of mans' relationship with nature by saying they want to protect the wild critters, then allowing them to be roasted to death.

Clearly, if the federal government owns some property, they have a duty to maintain it -- at least to a level where the neighbors will not be bothered if there is a fire on the federal land. To not do so falls in the willful negligence column.

Commenting on the law Daschle hid in a bill he knew would pass, Bush said: "My attitude is, if it's good enough for South Dakota, it's good enough for Oregon."

There should be some clear-cutting. That is obvious. We used to call those areas between the woodlands meadows. That's where the roads were built and that's where the forest fires would stop.

"What he wants to do is finance this program by doing clear-cuts in old growth, and that is not what America wants," said Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA).

This stupid liberal Club Sierra puppet is my congressman. He's going to hear from me....also, hopefully, from other WA freepers.

Thanks for an excellent find and post! Great data!

I have bookmarked it.

The enviro whackos are blaming the Biscuit fire on the fire fighters. I will address that next week on the Oregon is still burning threads.

Besides burning Oregon with their insane agendas, the Watermelon Greens have trashed Oregon's economy. Oregon has the highest unemployment rate in the Nation. Also, a higher percent of Oregonians go hungry everyday than in the other 49 states.

The tree huggers/root suckers have destroyed the economy and children go hungry in Oregon due to their no logging agendas.
