Bone-dry California dumps water to 'make fish happy'
WND ^ | 04/11/2015 | Greg Corombos

Posted on 04/13/2015 8:32:00 AM PDT by detective

Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., is working feverishly to reverse federal and state policies that give fish and rivers priority over people in the distribution of water during the worst drought in California history.

The state is now in the fourth year of the drought, and water reserves are running frighteningly low. McClintock said it’s a result of stunningly stupid policies dating back to the last time Democrat Gov. Jerry Brown was in office.

“We haven’t built a major dam in this state since 1979,” McClintock said. “Meanwhile, the population has nearly doubled. We aren’t going to solve our water problems until we begin building more dams. We can’t build more dams as long as the radical environmental laws make their construction impossible.”

A good article showing how the government created the water problems in California.

Deport your illegals. You’ll save billions in subsidies and have all the water you will ever need.

“Better to starve a few million people and destroy farms than have a couple fish die. Now excuse me while Juan trims my perfectly manicured lawn” -Coastal Liberals

Really the only thing Californians can do to change water policy will be to show it ‘disproportionally’ effects minority illegal Mexican aliens. Politicians don’t give a damn about US citizens so if the citizens can show a Mexican family out of business because there’s no water things will change, fast. They are expanding fast and they vote.

Some wacko lib recently admitted that the problem we have on this planet is an over population of humans. They advocate culling the herd.

Being the PR Animals they are, however, they advocate a more indirect means to meet this end. This is why the advocate for things like abortion, geonocide, starvation, communicable disease proliferation, Anti vaccination protocol, etc.

At some point in the future average people will have to choose food over the survival of a protected fish in some stream somewhere. Lets hope that wisdom and maybe a little hunger helps them chose correctly.

Voluntary human extinction. I swear on a stack of Bible AND a stack of Torahs, there really is such a movement.

This is how the rich white leftists punish their peons, passive aggressiveness on fringe issues like this and minimum wage laws which force their peons once they voted the right way to move away.

People are more important than fish and wildlife. After all, God created man to subdue the animals.

I donated what I could. And I wasn’t even in the vicinity at the time. Followed the travesty from Florida. Even had the Klamath Falls Brigade t shirt. It got some attention but obviously not enough.

Rather than whine about farmers water use, why don’t they focus on the rate of use by the Metro areas?

Or...the amount ILLEGALS use?

Pleeeze! Don’t give these bastards any more crazy ideas. There are already “movements” to take down dams because they “harm” the fish.
