Thanks Bob.

Kudos to Foxnews, Brent Hume and Molly whatever for bringing fair balance to this critical event and situation.

We know that CNNCBSNBCCNBCCABCCSPAN will make his forest thinning policy appear to be worse than the phoney Global Warming they harp on every day and every night.

When do the Green Jihadist Watermelon Ba$tards lie to America?

We need to reform the nonprofit corporation laws in America. Only allow charitable organization that actually help people to be exempt form paying income taxes and to suck at the taxpayers tit. Outfits like this one and PETA, ADL, JW, etc. are ripping off the American taxpayer that has no choice but to subsidize the "work" of people like this because they pay no taxes, get reduced postage, etc

I totally agree and don't stop harping about it

Re President Bush's bullseye on this issue. He started his own personal thinning as good management on his ranch. This picture is posted to make all the mentally Green Jihadist Watermelon Tree Hugging Root Suckers pass out. Our president used a chain saw to thin out dead trees on his ranch. The absolute horror of thinning dead trees will make these Root Sucker lose their sense of unreality.

If they have fires, they are usually minor and easy to control.

First of all they have roads to get to the fires, contain them and put them out. Thanks to the Green Jihadists most forest roads have been closed as per their roadless agenda implented by Babbitt/Goron/Clinton.

Next, their forests are managed daily/weekly/monthly. They do not allow brush to build as per the fire is good strategy of the Green Jihadists and dead trees are removed before they finish dying. When you don't remove the brush and dead/dying trees as per the fire is great strategy of the Green Jihadists, you enable massive fires like the Biscuit Fire about 60 miles west of Medford. More on that fire later or click on the Rural Cleansing Key Word or Biscuit Fire key word in this thread.

Thanks for you great reply and the history and insight that your reply gives to us re the criminal history of these Green Jihadists, who don't want a single tree logged in our National Forests. That includes the dead ones. Many which are dead due to their fire is good mental illness.

Don't look like no "solar powered" rig to me. Looks like a good Stihl wanting to go to work. Looks like ."W" isn't in the mood to thank a greenie for a forest fire today brought to you by decades of the "green" BS. The Bush administration may be slow in coming to our rescue of the west,(probably lightning fast by governmental standards) but it's beginning to look like a good start.

Investigate where their money comes from. Are they being funded by the Opecker Princes, al Qaeda, or home grown terrorists? Are they being funded by American Corporations working behind the Curtains to eliminate competion via their activities

That is a good question ... Where is all there money coming from??

I hope he has more stamina in this war than he has demonstrated in his war on terrorism.

~~~Some of these century old trees have a better chance surviving in the hands of loggers then in the hands of these environmentalists.~~~

No kidding, Mo1. But that is NOT the point!!!! You cannot LOG. Evil evil evil.

I was reading a local story about the fire here where I live, the Apple fire. They had a public information meeting for the residents of the area. You know what some jerk brought up? ARE the firefighters using bulldozers...and if so, WHERE? There were a couple hundred people at this event...and the fire management team had to spend MUCH time assuring this jerk that they were only using bulldozers on slopes of less that 35%....and ONLY on ridgelines. The management team then had to assure the jerk that cultural and archeologist specialists were on the fire management team and they were scouting out areas in advance, testing them, and flagging those areas where BULLDOZERS COULD BE SAFELY USED!!! Where significant cultural or archeological damage would be minimized.

GOOD GRIEF!!!

I want SOME judge.....somewhere......to tell these environazis to
get the hell out of the way
and allow these guys to DO THEIR JOB!!!!

Correct, Mo1.

The problem is much like the global warming issue imo.

One group says it exists......another says it doesn't.

But what do the majority believe? That global warming is real.

Just goes to show that they are more anti-Capitalist than they are pro-Environment.

The two go hand in hand. Once they destroy commerce, they can easily defeat any puny unfunded efforts against them.

Read their rhetoric. It is a foregone conclusion that all logging is now illegal--immoral--insane.

No question about it. Their policies are scorched earth, no compromise, total descruction of any way of life contrary to their agenda.

You posted some words of wisdom here, my honorary Grand Daugher:

Some of these century old trees have a better chance surviving in the hands of loggers then in the hands of these environmentalists.

The big Biscuit fire that is still blazing just west of Medford in SW Oregon is a prime example of that.

In the middle of July, this year, lightening struck several trees in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, the heart of the Biscuit fire.

Thanks to the worship of Fire by the mentally ill Fire Ecologists of these mentally ill creeps. Since these fires were good fires and in a Wilderness area, the Floristry Circus could not go into the Wilderness to fight the fire.

So the Floristry Circus Clowns and their mentally ill comrades the Green Jihadists stood around these fires chanting, "Fire is good! Fire is Great!"

Then as I predicted this fire at that time named the Florence Fire broke lose and created hell on earth for the people living in two counties around the fire.

Now over a month later most if not all of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness has been burnt up, the total acreage burnt in the wilderness will total just under 180,000 acres. Then another 300,000 acres around the wilderness has burnt up.

The now named Biscuit Fire approaches 500,000 acres burnt up. That is the largest fire in Oregon for at least a century.

The fire in the roadless former wilderness area will burn until the fall/winter rains come.

So in your infinite wisdom, you have pointed out that trees are safer in the hands of good loggers than being controlled by the mentally ill, fire is good Green Jihadists.

We hope that the Rats are in terminable trouble re the elections this November.

Hopefully, these fires and the criminal fire loving behavior of the Green Jihadists will drive more voters away from the Rats.

As Jim Robinson, phi kap mom, justshe, yours truly and many others have pointed out for months, we must defeat a lot of rats up for re election this November. We must increase our hold in the house and thin the green jihadist rat herd in the senate. Then we can start to reverse not only the death grip the Green Jihadists have on Americans, but what the rats in power have done.

Thanks for your reply!

Our president used a chain saw to thin out dead trees on his ranch.

And EVEN WORSE, I understand that he Racially Profiled those trees, and only took out the Cedars. This is intolerable Speciesism.

If you are going to cut, you must cut without discrimination.
