Klamath Coup

The Wall Street Journal ^ | Tuesday, March 5, 2002

It's a rare day when rural America wins an environmental fight. That's one reason last week's federal government decision to restore water to farmers in the Oregon-California Klamath Basin is so gratifying. Irrigation was cut off last spring after Fish & Wildlife said it would hurt nearby "endangered" sucker fish. But after the National Academy of Sciences peer reviewed the agency's so-called biology, it announced -- to the surprise of few -- that there had been "no sound scientific basis" for the cutoff. Environmental groups are threatening to sue again. But this time, they won't be able to sucker judges with junk science.

I read that editorial in the Wall Street Journal while still half asleep. It woke me up and put a big smile on my face. We are winning guys--in increments--but we are winning! You Freepers can take much of the credit.!

[CPT Clay]

Don't be dicouraged Freepers...We're winning!!!!

Thanks for posting some good news re our other war against the enviral terrorists who push rural cleansing of rural America!

This the first major derailment of the enviral nazis rural cleansing programs since the 1970's!

[shotabug]

A bump for Our FREEDOMS!!!

[TroutStalker]

Hopefully the first of many wins. It is time to reclaim our country one battle at a time.

[Grampa Dave]

A little something to brighten your election day!

Kudos to AuntB and forester for alerting us of the rural cleansing operation of the vile enviralist in the Klamath Basin.

Kudos to Jeff Head for being our man on the line that 4th of July where things started to happen.

Kudos to all who helped.

Folks, do you think any of this would have happened if not for Free Republic.

We must continue to support Free Republic keep our best weapon against the vile enviral nazis stong and viable!

TS posted, "Hopefully the first of many wins. It is time to reclaim our country one battle at a time."

Absolutely! This is the first of many wins to come.

The enviral nazis have been winning for two decades. We have to reclaim our country with winning one battle at a time.

There will not be a total victory against the enemies of America who are well financed and work 24/7/365 to destroy the fabric of America. It has to be one battle at a time!

This is our cultural war, and we must win the battles to win the war!

Ninth Circuit Court judges won't be suckered by junk science? Now that's funny!

Be vigilant...

BTTT

[Grampa Dave]

Right on! A bump for our brothers and sisters in Klamath Basin and a big win for their freedom to live and work where they want to and not be rurally cleansed by evil/vile eco Nazis!

This a reaffirmation of their basic freedom and ours!

Hate to be a spoil sport, but are we really winning?

I don't see the enviro-loonies being tarred and feathered. I don't see the leftists being ridiculed on the streets.

[KC Burke]

Yourself, Jeff Head and countless others on this forum provided one of the few small voices that were visible nationaly in righting this injustice.

Free Republic continues to be of impact!

[Happygal]

But what about the poor liddle widdle sucker fishies? *L*

Good news.
Well done! *S*

[Walkin Man]

Rural cleansing backed by junk science just took a major hit! Can you imagine this happening under president algore?

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for your kind words. I remember that you contributed to the words of outrage here on Free Republic re the attempted Rural Cleansing of our brothers and sisters in the Klamath Basin!

Their story would have never got out if not for Free Republic.

My youngest son lives in Portland, Or and knew nothing of the 10,000 who marched at first to protest the cleansing. The Portland, Or. tv and papers spiked the news.

He flew home for a visit the last week of June and the first week of July. I let him read the truth on Free Republic. He had thought the farmers were terrible people until he read what was on Free Republic. He went back to Portland and got several of his friends involved and on our side!

I shudder to think what would have happened to those poor families in the Klamath basin if not for the support of freepers like Jeff and others and the support here on Free Republic.

Thanks for being part of the Klamath firepower team to stop rural cleansing in the Klamath Basin.

That's okay Frohickey! I still think we are winning! --in increments.

[Grampa Dave]

To all the nay sayers on this victory.

Please step aside and let the men and women who believe in this country enjoy this win!

Then step aside and let us fight our war. We love our country and will fight for it!

In seven more years we will have a ton of victories while you whine and cry!
