ps. does anybody out there wonder why the greenies protest the Japanese whalers, yet are tacitly mute on the ‘right’ of so-called “native americans” to slaughter whales with power boats and high-powered cannons with impunity?

Unfortunately the only readily available support for this news I found is “Media Matters”, which doesn’t cause me a warm feeling.

The less we have Constitutionalists in charge of the party, the less we can trust the GOP to keep the Government in line with said Constitution.

Exactly what are some of these D.C. nuts conserving, anyway? Power for themselves?

Of course the general public doesn’t know the facts, and Animal Planet could care less. I only see the commercials, but even then I root for the Japanese. I have to admit I would not be as patient as the Japanese have been, but then they have had a strong pacifist tradition since late 1945.

Make it a crime to fish, and the man is dependent on the government to provide food to eat.

Does anyone besides me think that this seems to fit a pattern?

Thanks for the great blog, keep them coming; there are so many things happening out there behind closed doors, that none of us really have a clue what’s taking place in our White House.

May God Bless America

My son works a s an environmental engineer and a lot of his job is helping companies design buildings, etc. that meet the regulations and convincing bureaucrats that things are OK for building. He tells me that he has been told by some of these bureaucrats that some arid areas are “wetlands” just because a particular species of weed is growing there.

This Congress and this Administration must go. We can deal with Congress this Novemeber but, we have three more years of dealing with our dictator President.

THAT’S GOING TO PISS OFF SIXTY MILLION PEOPLE. My Green friends got mad when I would not sign a letter telling Obama how much we appreciated his creation of the group to formulate overall fisheries and ocean policy. I wouldn’t because they’re pushing aquaculture which could decimate our best in the world fishery. Turns out they’re the kind of whacko’s who did n ot understand my fears for the fishery and don’t understand the implications of such a ban. There are 350,000 Louisianians with saltwater licenses and countless bait salesmen, boat companies, sporting goods shops, etc. AND THE 600 CHARTERBOAT CAPTAINS I REPRESENT STRUGGLING TO MAKE A LIVING. This is not only scientifically stupid but political suicide.

This is all over the net — Google Obama and Fishing.

I was at the Ocean Policy Task Force hearing in New Orleans. Each speaker got one and a half minutes to express their concerns. I spoke. You can’t talk about the fishery, the proposed ban on oysters and the failure to check out the poisons in imported shrimp in 90 seconds and I said so. I later told Madame Lubchenco that we in Louisiana were pissed and sick and tired of having outside government agencies telling us what we had to do in Louisiana.

I asked her who would bear responsibility if our billion dollar per year fishing industry was destroyed because of escaped fish, diseases, parasites, etc. Who would bear responsibility. When she could not answer that question, I asked her if she knew about Chinese drywall and all the problems we have with no one to take responsibility. SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!

I have not been a basher of this administration but this is sheer stupidity. Without recreational and commercial fishermen, there is no Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. There is no one to regulate anything – I might ask just how they intend to enforce such bans when there is no state agency.

LDWF operates on license fees from the very people who would be outlawed if the Ocean Task force continues this insanity.”
