Thanksgiving eve surprise: Feds to block off 9M acres for spotted owl
Human Events ^ | November 21, 2012 | Audrey Hudson

The Obama administration announced with little fanfare Thanksgiving eve plans to lock up nine million acres of land for the endangered Northern Spotted Owl.

The plan would double the amount of public forest lands proposed by the Bush administration for the owl’s habitat in Oregon, Washington and Northern California, and is expected to severely limit commercial activities like logging.

Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Wash.), chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, said he is concerned the plan will cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

“Expanding the Northern Spotted Owl’s critical habitat will further endanger the timber industry, the thousands of jobs that the industry supports, and forest health,” Hastings said.

Barred Owls are still going to kick their asses and take over their territory, unless the feral government start shooting them.

It seems that Lefties only believe in evolution has an historical concept.

Now that they are here, they think evolution should stop and everything stay exactly as it is.

This is what socialists/communists do! Why is anyone surprised? You Obama supporters will rue the day you re-elected this Hitler in waiting. The congress is the only thing that stands in his way. Will they cave? Remains to be seen. This is so like what I read about Hitler’s rise to power. No one dared speak up. Suddenly, it was too late.

This is what happens when the fascist state uses a fascist definition for the term species instead of a scientific definition. I bet multi-national forest industry corporations like Weyerhaeser paid a lot of money for this decision because it makes forest land they own or control worth a lot more money.

Within a few years the forest will become overgrown and a lighting strike will set off a massive forest fire and destroy the preserve and more.

Every time this happens the enviros are dumbstruck.

This is really just Agenda 21 disguised as endangered species protection.

All land rightfully belongs to the United Nations. The fact that human beings are allowed to live on any of it is just an oversight that they are in the process of correcting.

No harvesting of timber, no jobs for real men. This more about the de-balling of the American Male and not creating wealth than it is about the UN. Another exit ramp passed.....

Reid and Pelosi are in league with Dear Leader and Boehner and McConnell are the thin red line. What could go wrong? This will not end any better for the Congress than it did for the Reichstag and the rest of us are along for the ride.

The House of Representatives had better start "taking care of business" by withdrawing funds from the Zer0 administration, and do it quick.

The regime will call the House "haters" and obstructionists but they are called that NOW....what would change?

Seriously, the House IS our LAST line of defense....it could be the cavalry coming to the rescue....

....the House will change to D (for dead-beats) in '14, and any chance to at least slow down the socialism of America will be lost until the collapse.

...the dead-beats have taken over...and there is nothing we can do about that except keep pointing out their dead-beatness..

...we have been OUT-BRED by dead-beats and have been INVADED by dead-beats..the only thing that can be done now is to slow the agenda by starving it. The House COULD do it if they WILL do it....but with Boehner in charge, don't hold your breath...

..so sad..
