Federal Gov't Halts Sand Berm Dredging
WDSU ^ | 6-22-10 | Not attributed

Posted on 06/23/2010 5:22:33 AM PDT by RKBA Democrat

The federal government is shutting down the dredging that was being done to create protective sand berms in the Gulf of Mexico.

The berms are meant to protect the Louisiana coastline from oil. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department has concerns about where the dredging is being done.

Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, who was one of the most vocal advocates of the dredging plan, has sent a letter to President Barack Obama, pleading for the work to continue.

Nobody who’s ever been around a malignant narcissist is surprised by this. To the MN, ever conflict is an attack on his authority. If somebody challenges it/him, they must be put in their place. If the ‘sin’ of the challenge is compounded by the even greater ‘sin’ of criticizing the MN, then the erring party must be punished.

To Obama, this is all about putting Jindal in his place. First, Jindal must be made to understand that Obama is The Boss, period. Second, for publicly criticizing The One, Jindal must be humiliated and made to suffer.

Malignant Narcissists are mean, petty, dangerous people. It’s not just a technical description, it’s a serious personality disorder that runs to the core of a person’s being. MNs are merciless bullies. That is the kind of boot under which LA’s neck is being crushed.

“.....sent a letter pleading to Obama for the work to continue?”

Why don’t these Louisiana officials grow a pair and tell Obama to blow it out his *ss!

It’s THEIR state that is being destroyed by Obama and his minions in the Coast Guard and The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Department, amongst other agencies.

Keep building the sand berms and, as another poster mentioned, have the Louisiana National Guard protect the men doing the work.

Obama wants the Gulf Coast destroyed because it furthers his anti-oil agenda. Plus, these are all red states so the Obamanation doesn’t give a s*it about them.

I am stuck at work now, but we should have a means to get word to the Louisiana Governor to keep the dredging going to protect his coastline - backed up by who and whatever he wants.

As long as we're at it - the same should be done for the AZ Gov. In her case, she should call out the NG (and whoever else) to deal with the illegal invasion of this nation's sovereignty.

Frankly Sports Fans, I think November may be too far away to right this ship.

>> Some of you just don’t get it, do you??

LOL - Don’t you mean “you people”??

Seriously, it hurts the Administration and emboldens its political adversaries.

This has the appearance of incompetence, and potential malice - not a political or tyrannical benefit in any form.

“There’s no way this isn’t intentional. I guess O has figured out he’ll never be reelected so he’s doing whatever he can, while he can, to create his idea of a “perfect” nation. “

I think O and the Dems are doing all they can to make the biggest mess possible, KNOWING that they are going down the toilet in November and it will be up to the GOP to roll all this back and clean it up and IT IS GOING TO HURT! Then the very RATS who caused this series of horrible circumstances will have their media buttkissers publish their diatribes about how AWFUL everything is now that the GOP is in charge (once it happens). They are making a mess so big it will be impossible to clean up without severe sacrifice and pain to our society and when people are ticked about the sacrifices, the Dems will be right there rolling out the “victim mats” and feeling their pain. It’s predictable AND pathetic. I wish the GOP would start speaking to that right now...talking truth about it right now.

Thanks for the link. It sounds like an individual filming from his hotel room. Not a major news organization, but at leaast individuals are doing the work our media refuses to do.

Those who are worried about us “peaking too soon” (Boortz) please read this headline carefully.

You are spot on. THIS IS BEING DONE ON PURPOSE. Remember...just a few days ago the barges vacuuming up the oil were stopped too:

And it's going to get worse. They've taken the top hat off the well for some reason.

Obama wants this to be an uncontrolled disaster.

Indeed he does. If you look at all his actions, that is the only reasonable conclusion.

He wants to move his agenda forward, no matter what it costs.

He's a punk and a thug.

I heard about the tar balls on FOX radio this morning, too.....at 10:00 AM Eastern time. (I’m in Maine).

The woman doing the news said there were “millions” of tar balls just below the water line on Pensacola beach, and it’s “back breaking work” to clean them up.

(Where are all the illegal aliens, who supposedly want to do the work Americans don’t want to do? sarc/)

This might be a slightly more urgent matter for Governor Jindal over the next 5 days...
