geez, why didn’t we protect the dinosaur, maybe we should pay reparations to birds and alligators for not protecting their ancestors from extinction.

“We toss murdered children into dumpsters, but weep over a beetle.”

This is true, depraved and bears repeating from the highest mountaintops.

They will discover something to make work for environmentalists. It’s all a sham and a kickback to enviro whackos. And another way to waste taxpayer money as B-HO and his workers busily tear down our nation.

“Biologists say it’s not a pointless exercise. By burying carcasses, the beetle speeds the return of nutrients to north central Nebraska’s sandy soil. The grasses that feed ranch cattle might otherwise have a harder time growing, said Bob Harms, a U.S. wildlife biologist based in Grand Island.”


Seems everything God has created has a purpose, even though we scoff at his Creation.

You can bet on one thing. Somebody will get rich off of these bugs.

It’s all about a payoff.

I have 7 mini concrete mixer sales in limbo waiting on this pipeline. This is insane.

I would like to know why the US is pushing Canada to feed the enemy with energy. Anyone?

1) They don't consider the Chinese enemies.

2) They don't expect the Canadians to build a western pipeline, but will instead forgo development of the tar sands which, in their minds, will save the world.

Let’s cut the crap and call this what it is: The environmental commie whackos are on a mission to destroy capitalism any way they possibly can. Interfering with our energy resources is their mission. They could give a damn about the fricken beetle.

This is why ELECTIONS MATTER!

I agree with Turbozamboni on this one. There is never going to be a project they are against without somehow finding some sort of “endangered species”. I have lived through such cases with the Karner Blue butterfly here in Wisconsin.

Its a pipeline....the excavation, and staging of materials can’t be much more than a hundred feet wide...and this is enough to endanger an entire species?

What happens to the beetles when they till fields in Nebraska?

Thank you for your answer to my questions. I have another one.

Are you going to find some serious people to run the government soon?

Here in PA we are being told not to move firewood so as not to also move the Emerald Ash Beetle.

In Oklahoma we are apparently going to be spending lots of our tax money to purposely move a different beetle.

Are we through the looking glass yet?

I’m betting that the rotted rat beetle isn’t all that endangered to begin with.

If the Fish & Wildlife organization is so worried about the beetle, they should put it on welfare and encourage them not to marry, just produce off spring at will therefore taking care of their dwindling population that will be cause by the pipeline. We’ve done this to humans and look at the off spring it produced without legal fathers. This makes as much sense as using rotting rats to bring them to the surface.

Because the politicians in this country are a bunch of traitors who are beholden to their own self interest instead of the constitution. They are also beholden to the international bankers and their corporate minions. Our politicians fall to their knees and worship the vampire squid baal.
