- LeftieLucy, on 03/04/2009, -4/+89Anything that starts with the words "Obama reverses Bush rule..." is good news.
- freedomjoe, on 03/04/2009, -6/+70yeah, this is not Sarah's day. A few animals may escape her brutal assault on their right to life.
cuz, pro-life only applies to some fetuses, no actual children, some babies (depending upon color), no grown up humans, and no animals. - Insightful, on 03/03/2009, -5/+60Awwww, Sarah will be so disappointed!
"Palin Fought Polar Bear Protections"
"Governor Discounted the Findings of Nine Recent USGS Studies"
"Even as the [Bush] White House has finessed its position on polar bears in the face of legal challenges and public pressure, Palin has led her state's efforts to block protections for the world's estimated 25,000 polar bears, of which roughly a fifth are believed to reside in Alaska.
"Listing the polar bear as a threatened species [under the Endangered Species Act] will have a significant adverse impact on Alaska because. . . [it] will deter activities such as commercial fisheries, oil and gas exploration and development, transportation, and tourism,"

- terenceyap7, on 03/04/2009, -4/+42...yet another step towards the return to normalcy!
- pintomp3, on 03/04/2009, -1/+26That's the rub. They don't care about life, only potential life. As soon as it's born they don't care if the baby can't afford an education, lives on the street, doesn't have a habitable planet to live on, dies in a war, or gets executed by the state.
- inactive, on 03/04/2009, -3/+26bush is the worst president we have ever had in my life time.
- xxacefirexx, on 03/04/2009, -2/+24This is the hypocrisy of social conservatives that always bothered me. I could understand you could be pro-life to protect the life of the child, but a fetus isn't any more or less intelligent life than polar bears or even cows.
- doyouwash, on 03/04/2009, -1/+23God, she's a bitch.
- novenator, on 03/04/2009, -5/+25anyone recall when the first bush absurdly tried to portray himself as an environmentalist? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
- sqrt2, on 03/04/2009, -1/+20Why did Bush remove this regulation in the first place?
"...environmental and scientific scrutiny..." oh, right. - inactive, on 03/04/2009, -2/+20As much as a I bash both political parties, props to democrats that have always been less harmful to the environment than republicans. Now, Obama, get off that clean coal, nuclear, offshore drilling *****.
The best environmentalist leads by example. Don't show me how green was your mansion. Show me how you learned to use public transpo, ditch the auto, get a smaller place, and use less energy. - pintomp3, on 03/04/2009, -0/+17Letting scientists determine of a species is endangered instead of politicians and businesses.
- novenator, on 03/04/2009, -1/+15agreed. I never thought I would see a president worse than Nixon.
- xxacefirexx, on 03/04/2009, -5/+18Keep up the great work Barack!
- ThatsNotPoetry, on 03/04/2009, -4/+16Yanno, it's depressing and frightening that he had to do this in the first place."Oops, time to fix that thing that allowed industries further endanger animals."
- novenator, on 03/04/2009, -0/+12or Hawaiian shirt Friday?
- inactive, on 03/04/2009, -1/+13Too bad President Obama has to spend so much time- cleaning up after bush-whack!
- KnowMad1982, on 03/04/2009, -1/+12'middleblocker' is an ignorant fool.
Thats all i really wanted to say regarding these posts.
RIP Pat Tillman. - twiztidsinz, on 03/04/2009, -0/+11What about "Obama reverses Bush Rule on Wacky-Tie-Wednesday"?
- twiztidsinz, on 03/04/2009, -0/+10Obama would NEVER take away Hawaiian Shirt Friday.
- superterrorizer, on 03/04/2009, -4/+14Consulting independent experts seems very logical; Does it come as any surprise that Bush and his cronies pushed for the complete opposite?
- Anzat, on 03/04/2009, -0/+9Joe Biden used public transportation. Barack Obama had a hybrid. Neither one should be riding the bus while in office.
- novenator, on 03/04/2009, -1/+10Although red tape issues certainly need to be streamlined, many of the delays with projects are simply due to the lack of resources, with a much higher emphasis on the actual development and subsequent profits of the corporation. Industry plays hardball with companies, often accepting the lowest bidder regardless of quality, safety, or compliance with the law. The state and federal regulatory agencies are similary underfunded and consequently overworked and understaffed as well.
What this leads to is a slow down of the entire process.
Increased resources = quicker and better response time.
Simple as that.
I speak as someone quite familiar with the industry and permitting process. - nihilville, on 03/04/2009, -1/+9A president that actually respects the rule of law?
Sacrilege!!! - inactive, on 03/04/2009, -0/+8And decency.
- Trent1492, on 03/04/2009, -0/+8Carter endorsed torture and began a unnecessary war?
- Anzat, on 03/04/2009, -1/+9Yes, because that's the choice we face: kill all the endangered species, or people die!
Obama's rule requires government agencies to consult relevant experts before doing anything big to the environment. That's common sense... it IS striking the right balance. Your reaction is just ***** stupid.
Signed,
Somebody who has actually killed a caribou. - rockdawg, on 03/04/2009, -1/+9That's just awesome! Science being respected once again and scientists not being censored anymore.
- theatheist, on 03/04/2009, -1/+9lol i meant endangered. silly me
- twiztidsinz, on 03/04/2009, -2/+8Since when are Polar Bears extinct?
- JRowe3388, on 03/04/2009, -1/+7"but a fetus isn't any more or less intelligent life than polar bears or even cows."
I'd say a polar bear or a cow would be more intelligent than a fetus. - inactive, on 03/04/2009, -2/+7You veered off course and want to talk about Pat Tillman. Kindly explain to me how the government treated the Tillman family after he was killed by his own men. If you can't respond, I most certainly can. You might avail yourself of Mary Tillman's book "Boots on the Ground".
Jessica Lynch was able to respond to the government lies, in a congressional hearing ... would you like to hear her testimony? Stand by for the link. - inactive, on 03/04/2009, -2/+6BTW you seem to think I suggested the president take the public transpo. Your hallucinations may be treatable. Check with your doctor, there are some experimental anti-psychotics from Pfizer he'd like to try on you.
- inactive, on 03/04/2009, -2/+6Anyway you look at it, the answer is not in "greener" technologies, but in consuming less and damaging less.
- inactive, on 03/04/2009, -2/+6@middleblocker
"honoring a man who ..."
Usually I don't take the time to correct a hallucination, but I'll do you a favor this time. Fact: I campaigned most vigorously against both Obama and McCain.
Sorry, the rest of your post is too psychotic to answer. I cut back on my consumption in a big way, getting rid of the car, using less electricity, etc. I live inside the Beltway, not in Montana. The Unabomber had a writing style much like yours, btw. Is that you, Ted? - lamejoketeller, on 03/04/2009, -0/+3Bush, on the other hand...
- lamejoketeller, on 03/04/2009, -0/+3Please explain to me exactly what it was that Carter did wrong.
Don't say Operation Eagle Claw, that was a logistic failure on the part of the military for which the commander in chief is in no way responsible. If Bush had commanded Eagle Claw, I wouldn't blame him. - inactive, on 03/04/2009, -3/+6Good, now we can drill those baby seals for turpentine.
... or something like that. - zeazzz, on 03/04/2009, -0/+3I think this is what he means:
God: What Palin thinks she is.
She's: A female possessing the subject descriptor of the sentence. Wait for it.
A: Words like Ass, Anorexic, or hey, even Alaska, use the letter "A" to emphasize and notify the beginning of the said word.
Bitch: Sarah Palin. - flammablewater, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2you're my new favorite troll
can I take you home?
your opinions are so misinformed it's cute :) - kayvman78, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2Shut up and go away. Yes, This is a liberal site. Deal with it and go away if you don't like it. I'm so sick of the same *****, Liberal this and liberal that. "Hey I don't have a better argument so I'm going to spew the same ***** as the other stupid ass CON-servatives on here." Blah,blah,blah.. Shut up.
- flammablewater, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2That's what your parents say about you.
Also, I recommend you run off with middleblocker and stop posting here. No one else agrees with you or wants to hear your opinion. Granted, I only come into the comments to digg trolls like you down. - LanceStevenson, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2I’m glad to hear anything about “More Protection” for endangered species.
It’s just too bad ‘Middle Blockers & Pedwidgets’ comments weren’t endangered….
I think humans are becoming slightly over populated, I mean there is no reason we should have to be squeezing out other life off the planet for our needs.
It’s also too bad business official are scapegoating the environment for there federally funded projects, threatening delays to the nation's economy, when these policies were only shortly changed at the end of bushed term. Tell that to your kids when they ask where all the polar bears went! - kayvman78, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2"More Libtard spewage on the DIGGIdiot cesspool. Wheeee........Get a clue. Obama is a HUGE mistake."
WOW! Look at that fountain of knowledge. How do you argue with that? - Specializedone, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2Free post!!! Oh wait ....
- lamejoketeller, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2It works, bitches
- Ttech2, on 03/05/2009, -0/+2I knew it was going to happen, just didn't think it was so soon.
- glueandglitter, on 03/04/2009, -2/+4Well put!
- Paranor01, on 03/04/2009, -1/+3It's not the end of those projects, it just calls for them to do it smartly, doing as little damage as possible to the life other than human that populates this small planet. Who says we have the right to make another type of life extinct, or endangered by our own hands?
I'm not some eco-evangelist, but that is a valid thought. -
