::sigh:: However allergic to left wing environmentalism you are (and I am as allergic to it as anyone else), the fact remains that bats are very important to the ecosystem and are very vulnerable due to their very slow reproduction. These are simple facts and there's nothing left wing about them.

And they're certainly not "ghouls." The only bats that drink blood live in Latin America and weren't even discovered by Europeans until they began settling that part of the world. And bats weren't even associated with anything spooky or creepy until Bram Stoker wrote that awful book.

Folks, I can't stand Obama and I can't stand political correctness. But bats haven't done anything wrong . . . okay? Can we please hold back a bit on the bat-bashing? Bash Obama instead!

(I can't help but wonder why they'd use a bat that doesn't even live in this country instead of a little brown bat or some such species.)

How important is the Flying Fox to the ecosystems of the United States?

Probably because The bats native to the U.S. are nothing but bigoted, non-inclusive tools of imperialism...
