I simply cannot believe my eyes today. The EPA with the stalwart support of the Obama administration wants to, wait for it, ban all sport fishing in the US. You heard me right – how to thoroughly piss off about 60,000,000 fishermen and women. And here’s a newsflash – many of them are gun owners…

My Dad was an avid fisherman. Most of my friends fish and I enjoy fishing. I don’t think they will stand for this – not at all…
Do you know how many jobs this will cost us? Fishermen and hunters provide a lot of revenue and most or all of that will be lost too. This is just plain stupid. I’m sure Obama is saying something to the effect of: “It’s for the good of the fish and the land don’t ya know. And by the way, if a few million of you Americans would just drop dead, we wouldn’t have to do this.” Mark my words, this will bring on a revolt if carried through.
My theory is that he is trying to goad America into violence. Just keep poking at and revoking our rights until we snap and there is violence. Then blame martial law on the American people because he was forced into it. Evilly predictable if nothing else…

Personally I can tell you this – when we want to go fishing we will and we’ll take our chances. We live in an area with hundreds of lakes and people live a lot on fish up here. Obama can stuff a trout where the sun don’t shine… This is unconstitutional to say the least and it is yet another collectivist grab of the Marxist/Communist kind – the kind that Americans will fight to their last breath.

Guess we’ll have to start shooting the fish, er sea kittens, then.
Is it almost time for the angry villagers with their pitchforks or tar and feathers to start marching? These clowns just might be biting off more than they can chew.
When is somebody going to say “Enough” and respond violently?
The upcoming Civil War should be, at the least, interesting.
These are the same people who want us to stop eating at McDonalds and find leaner sources of protein?
BIG BROTHER SAYS NO TO FISHING...PING!!!
Then they came for or rods and reels.. duh?
From the comment section on Michelle Malkin’s link:
Uncle Joe shows up at the barber shop everyday around 10 a.m. to show off his limit of fish.The local game warden was there one day when we came in was so impressed with Joe, he asked if he could accompany him the next day. Joe said sure, meet me at the boat dock at 6 in the morning.
The next morning they motor out to a little cove, Joe reaches in his tackle box and grabs a stick of dynamite and lights it and throws it as far as he can. BOOM….Fish float up everywhere and Joe scoops them up with a net.
The warden said you can’t do that, you have broken numerous laws I am going to have to arrest you. Joe reaches in the tackle box once more pulls out another stick, lights it and hands it to the game warden as he asked:
“Are you gonna fish or are you gonna talk??”
Don't Mess With Fishin'.
hahahaha! that was the best comment on the site.
Fishing is the number one sport in America today, far above fans of golf or football. It brings in billions into our economy each year.
I still think this is a diversion while he’s trying once again to push through ObamaCare.
That's a great way to get wavering, endangered Dems to follow your lead in an election year; demonstrate as clearly as possible that you are under the complete control of leftist lunatics. And do it in a way that causes people to think "Is this a parody?"
Shaking my head.....again!
