Where are the Bushies now? Are you all going to come out and bash this story because it is from the 'liberal press"?
Show me ONE instance where the Bush administration has actively undone a government land grap. EVERYTHING that has been won back so far has been because of court action....
I sure can. Maybe it's time for a repost of those infamous maps detailing these corridors for all the new folks at FR who may never have seen them.
Why shouldn't I believe it her policies are real killers. Need Water for fire? Ask EPA first. I once debated another Freeper on how bad it was to put Liberals in Cabinet positions. Liberals like Norton, Whittman, ect. I was given a reply of what can they hurt they have been put in career ending jobs. Well they continue to carry on their Liberal agenda it appears to me.
but try to find out-you cant-because the areas are closed and patrolled.
but wait, BOTH parties do it. now, why do you patrol empty land, which you just seized and closed access to? SOMETHING, right? not empty space in death valley. you tell me, if you think you know, but just shut up if all you have is sophmoric accusations of a conspiracy nuttiness. (9/11 WAS a conspiracy-of terrorists. conspiracies exist-regardless of denial, and wtc is all the proof you'll ever need to see that)
if you cant see something is up, youre still asleep.
(1) Since we are doubling the population every 40 years, we ought not to lock up the land, as there is money to be paid building housing for immigrants and urban-flight yuppies.
(2) Since we are doubling the population every 40 years, we'd better lock in expanded parks while we can.
(3) Maybe we should control immigration.
I lean towards #3, but from the tenor of recent reporting about events in France and the Netherlands, I guess that makes me an extreme right wing, proto-fascist, racist threat to the decency of the universe.
THAT is the point of their actions. They have removed, closed, or restricted nearly every campground at Lake Tahoe, a place where I grew up camping. They've already removed several popular campgrounds at Yosemite, another place I'd like to take kids camping. THEY DON'T WANT US TO USE THE PARKS. The more uncomfortable they make it, the less we use it. Mission accomplished. And, no, I don't need a tinfoil hat for THIS one.
I think that they may just get invited to a Tea Party should they keep this up. Come on, President Bush, you have a 1600 acre ranch yourself - how would you like it if the Park Service were to claim "Emminent Domain" on your property? Wouldn't you get a little angry? Then imagine how angry "We the People" feel when we get locked out of huge parcels of land we use for recreation. We - as the little guy - don't have the luxury of a 1600 acre ranch. When we want to get away from the cities, we go to the woods. Now they're getting locked away from us. Think about that.
Does that make this a vanity piece? Can we consider this hard news and accurate? It seems like an op-ed.
However, I will keep my eyes open for harder news on this subject. Thanks for the post.

Yes......and I am in a cynical mood and will just stop there. I think our politicians are demented.
