Task force ends public input - ESPN

I never really cared for Obama policies to begin with but this if true is just stupid. Obama talks about saving jobs and such but if you get rid of fishing and hunting your hurting the whole nation. I say for the people that are so animal friendly we just let them out in the wild and they can live like animals.

bjoyce,
Yes this story is true.
The administration is wanting all commercial fishing on the great lakes and oceans, and connecting waterways to stop. And this also includes all recreational fishing, they are not separating the two. Just another slap in the face from this administration to all veterans that has ever served this country.

Rush was just talking about this, and redstate.com has a good article up about it.

CosmicConservative: Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains

excerpts

"These angling advocates have come to suspect that public input into the process was a charade from the beginning. "

"I suspect that Obama and his inner circle have no idea what political napalm they are dealing with here. I doubt there are three people in the White House who actually enjoy heading out to the local reservoir with a fish pole and a bucket of bait. My guess is that Obama’s inner circle views the average outdoor hunting/fishing enthusiast as a toothless hillbilly with a bloodthirsty streak. He probably truly has no idea that fishing is one of America’s most popular pasttimes, and that most fishermen are not poor backwoods banjo players, but include most of middle class America. "

Now you all can see what Obama thinks of all the folks on C dot C.

Just another of the little pieces of our freedom this administraion and elite leftist are nibbling away at. You can't eat an elephant in one bit, but if you take small bits often, it goes away with out anyone even noticing that it is gone. That is their agenda. If you dont believe this, just wait till you go to get your fishing license, and some government official gets you name, dob, and SS# to put you on a national registry of people who like to enjoy the out doors that they want to CONTROL. Just like they want to control everything else. It's not about stopping fishing - it's about them CONTROLLING FISHING. It's all about GOVERNMENT CONTROL. Understand it, fight against it, and die trying to keep it for our kids, and grandkids, before they screw THIS up too..

Yep,
keep everyone focused on health care and we will slide other things thru without anyone noticing what we are doing.

Why is it that I smell an enormous federal tax coming to go fishing?

This stuff happened way before Obama took office and now it's all his fault. How long ago did they stop that pacific ocean waterway fishing?
