(Feinstein Favors) Fish Vs. Farmers
Investor's Business Daily ^ | Sept. 25, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 09/26/2009 3:04:40 PM PDT by raptor22

Environmentalism: Sen. Dianne Feinstein votes to deny water to California's drought-stricken San Joaquin Valley. Farmers, families and food are being held hostage to an endangered fish called the delta smelt. (snip) The Senate rejected the amendment by a largely party-line 61-36 margin, with Feinstein opposing the restoration of water deliveries to farmers.

The California senator claimed she was blindsided by the amendment to the bill she was managing in the Senate, bizarrely comparing the move to a "Pearl Harbor."

"No one from California has called, written or indicated they wanted this on the calendar," Feinstein protested.

More proof that an IQ test should be required for all public office holders.

Not to worry, she will be easily re-elected, and the smelt will be represented in the senate.

US Fish & Wildlife did the dirty deed. It p!sses me off to no end that unelected, unaccountable radical leftist bureaucrats can issue regulations with the force of law. Our congress-clowns are only too happy to have dirtbag environmentalists issue regs that would otherwise get themselves tossed from office or worse.

The states in 1789 granted all enumerated legislative powers to Congress, not to earth worshipers.

The central valley is mainly RED voters... What would you expect.

Heh, that’s a great idea, but I can’t, because I am not experienced with photoshop. I think it would be an exceedingly difficult task, however, considering that proportionally the smelt head is so much larger than the boxer head.

I don't understand it. It seems to me that this is a moment that takes politics beyond protest.

It's life or death for these people if they don't take direct action.

” the smelt head is so much larger than the boxer head.”

Yeah. I guess you’d have to zoom in!

Feinstein and Piglousy - they're nothing more than physical manifestations of the self-serving genetic defectives who perpetually send them to Capitol Hill

Pretty darn close to T-shirt material there, mate.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I personally think this is Obama’s Katrina, how do he stand there and do nothing.

Here’s a playlist of 18 videos from various voices, stunning imo.

#16 is something - shutting off water to farmers = domestic terrorism, think about it.
