Obama to Ban Fishing?
Sure seems like that’s what he’s trying to do. Thanks to Robb who let me know this morning, before it was picked up by Drudge, Michelle and HotAir.
From ESPN here:
The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation’s oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters…
Consequently, unless anglers speak up and convince their Congressional representatives to stop this bureaucratic freight train, it appears that the task force will issue a final report for “marine spatial planning” by late March, with President Barack Obama then issuing an Executive Order to implement its recommendations — whatever they may be.
Would it surprise you if Obama banned fishing in rivers, lakes, streams and offshore? I don’t think he will ban fishing, but will probably make some stupid sweeping decree that just can’t be enforced.
Like the rest of his stupid decrees? You took the safe bet; Ha!
One still sees the occasional, “Alaska, Succumb or Secede” bumper stickers. They used to be quite common along with “Alaska for Alaskans, Yankee Go Home”, and “Let the Bastards Freeze in the Dark Without Alaska Oil” stickers.
A lot of this attitude is caused by Alaska being treated like a colony or as I like to say, the Red Headed Step Child of the US.
Anywho…just try tellin’ us we can’t fish! See what happens. I count on the Silver Salmon, Halibut and all the other fish I manage to catch during the summer to see me through the winter. I’m talkin’ about major savings from goin’ to the store. And I’m damn sure not alone in this. Many villages up here would cease to exist if they couldn’t fish.
It’ll never fly. He might as well try to ban beer because it emits CO2.
shut up about the beer! Don’t give him any ideas!
Oh… Way to go man… Now he knows about the CO2.
At least I’m not a bone smuggling, raging rump ranger like Rham Emanuel. And no, I don’t really know how to spell that little turd burgler’s name, but I took a shot. He’s the whiny little b***h behind all this crap…
Mea Maxima Culpa.
Good thing I didn’t mention Champagne, Soda pop, Alka Seltzer, Fizzies… Yep..Fizzies are back.
NoooOOOOoooOOOOooooo…. LOL
