Can’t remember where I read it now but there was a few articles out about a land grab to crimp oil exploration as well.

The whole thing smacks of medievalism with a ruling class to decide when and how we can do even the smallest of things in caring for ourselves.

implies public input was accepted at some point - which I doubt. No question I am focused on HC and 2010… But stories like this make wonder longer term how much of this will ever be repealed.

if not full-scale civil war. I realize the fanatics and idiots who comprise this Administration can be quite clueless, but certainly not this clueless. Just imagine the jurisdictional turf wars over such insanity. The Great Lakes states that voted for Obama would be in the forefront of his ouster if more federal intrusion were allowed in them.

Urban liberals only fish at a sushi bar.

However, urban liberals do understand the old west addage that he who controls the water rights win.

If water runs over, under, around, or through your property, they intend to have the federal government in control. Right now federal authority over private land extends only to those adjoining navigable waters and those that invoke some environmental laws, e.g., Clean Water Act, etc. They want it all. The goal of Comrade Obama’s administration is clearly to eliminate states as anything other than administrative agencies of the US.

How would our b-ball president like to have his recreation destroyed?

end up in the Supreme Court… Hey… there’s a thought… how about someone who has the time/money/inclination trying to take apart the big b’s of the Fed by challenging their right to exist under the Constitution regarding parts that trample over the States reserved rights?

Nothing like a *constitutional scholar* to destroy the country from within…

But I think some people are starting to see just what we are up against here. Certainly we have not forgot that Obama exempts INTERPOL from search and seizure on US lands. We will wake up when we wake up.

Nullification (please read the post and comment there so as not to fill up space here) is a perfectly useful constitutional option. It is not secession, it is not revolution. And trust me, Obama is just getting started:

http://www.redstate.com/gman2008/2010/03/05/nullification-our-nuclear-option/

The title really should be changed to Nullification - Our Constitutional Option. The word nuclear does make it sound radical. A careful reading of the post and other links as well as a reading of the material at http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/ and, if you have the time, both books The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution and The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History will convince most naysayers this is not only a good option and a necessary one, but a constitutional one as well.

But if you mess with fishing, bub, you’re going to have to deal with about 2.5 million pi$$ed off Louisianians.

Go ahead. I f’ing dare you.

I’ve been reading up on EO’s & I think this adm. will use this to get around any bill they can’t pass. Regarding this diary– this meansthe Feds will control the waters off all the coastlines of the U.S. + the Great Lakes. That means they will virtually control ALL businesses/industries that operate in those waters. O couldn’t get his crap & tax bill passed to control oil co., so this is his end run around that. I’ve mentioned many times before, that these &**&% wanted to nationalize the oil industry & this is their way to do it. You know they will say that the oil co. cannot operate without negatively impacting the “ecosystem” in the gulf. I’m looking into solar energy.

Next up:  Say goodbye to hunting of any kind for any reason using any type of weapon.

Think I’m kidding, dontcha ?

I mean, other than this administration.

What ever happened to the old adage of “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.” Must they tinker with everything? They are like a bunch of 5 yr olds - they are just compelled to TOUCH EVERYTHING!

Sheesh.

We have seen this strategy implemented in CA and the far west for decades now.

Liberal (progressive?) groups realized that their utopian land use policies would never gain popular political support. They concluded that an easier way to control growth and development was to grab seats on local and state agencies that control water.

So take a look at your local water resources board, even your water district. You’ll find new restrictions imposed such as no new development with a guaranteed 20 or 30 supply of water. Or density regulations that force more multi-unit residential construction instead of SFR with lawns and yards. Or banning development completely - a government “taking” without compensation (see Lake Tahoe area land owners).

In CA the Coastal Commission can control activity up to FIVE MILES inland from the ocean. Trust me, they get into a lot of mischief with that span of control!

The liberals accomplished this via appointments to boards by political allies, or via winning on the ballot for open seats with tiny vote counts.

“no new development with a guaranteed 20 or 30 supply of water”

should be:
“no new development WITHOUT a guaranteed 20 or 30 supply of water”

that little o and his czarist minions are creating by monarchial fiat and dictat. I used to call him king-elect, but by turns he’s becoming a king in all but name. Didn’t we revolt from such governance?

Bork Congress into stopping this takeover of an entire recrational and sports industry which is designed to put fishermen, sportsmen, boaters, sightseers, et. al. out of business. 202-224/225-3121.

States will act when threatened. Even the idjit Jay Rockefeller is backing leg. to stop the EPA from ruining the coal industry in W. VA with its nitwit air pollution ruling on CO2, which is not more polluting than oxygen.

The lead in the fishing tackle in the ESPN story is just priceless. I’ll be Axe came up with that one himself.
The “One” is certainly setting himself up for the next guy to have some ripe campaign lines.
“I will restore to you the right that your father, had, and his father, had and his father had. The right to fish for hours and pass on ‘the big one that got away’ to your children.”
I mean, c’mon isn’t that bigger than heathcare ?

Teddy Roosevelt grabbed open land for National Parks, now Obama is grabbing Coastal waters for Federal Parks. Bye Bye Tenth Amendment.

I observed that there were quite a number that were repeated. Most I saw were prefaced by “As a concerned citizen” and proceeded to plead for the Administration to take control of our water ways. Most if not all of said comments read either “unaffiliated” or “individual”. These among the accepted comments mind you.

Thus there was necessarily a massive spam campaign to fill the box before outraged citizens were allowed to comment. This is going from ridiculous to absolutely insane. (Not that Obama would listen to us if the spammed comments were filtered.)

Used to be you had to pay the King to catch his fish or snare his rabbits. Of course, killing his stags and harts was not allowed at all.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_forest

So it’s a return of the forest laws only now the fish and rabbits, as well as the stags will be off-limits.

Sportsmen are the best ‘watchdogs’ we have to detect pollution and abuse - they hate it even more than the enviro-wackos do because they actually feed the fish they catch to their families.

Without anglers visiting every corner of every lake, the potential for abuse by ‘friends of the administration’ (corruptocrats) will be huge and all ‘transparency’ will be lost.

when he appointed a ‘Great Lakes Czar” That was a red flag then.

What amazes me is the slight of hand that creates an environment where people are not informed. The lack of information is on purpose. It helps their cause.
For instance take the recent actions by BHO 1) to give Interpol authority here which empowers the World Courts inside our territory (no search warrants, wiretapping on demand, search and seizure, complete authority over domestic law enforcement) 2) Clinton’s and BHO’s support of the UN Small Arms Treaty (contents unknown but rumored to be similar to previous attempts to remove individual dun ownership) 3) discussions/support for UN to control and protect our navigable/territorial waters 4) UN actions and fines on polluters can now be enforced..
It all fits together. Redistribution of wealth and the ruination of our country is the goal. The elite will be in power and we will be living in mid-evil times.

The liberals should be screaming about #1 all by itself. It provides far more capabilities for intrusion into privacy than the Security Act.

…this would truly be the thing that united Americans against him.

I can’t possibly imagine this gaining any legitimacy, no matter what the heck executive order he signs. People won’t heed it. They’ll just laugh at him if he tries. States will tell him to get a life.

Fishing is a non-partisan activity. Take it from me. I fish leagues and tournaments, and spend at least 2-3 days a week on the water angling and joyriding with the family from the week the ice melts in the spring until it threatens to reform in the fall. Democrats love to fish every bit as much as Republicans, maybe more in some regions.

For the people who truly love it, it is a way of life, far more than just a hobby. If he were to try something like this he would put the final nail in the coffin of his mandate to govern. People who have been straining to give him the benefit of the doubt would finally recognize the illegitimacy of his agenda, and they would simply refuse to obey, refuse to comply, and local governments would refuse to enforce.

He would have as much success enacting this as he would telling people they could no longer attend the church of their choice.

So we know what executive orders #45 has to reverse on his/her first day in office. Man, that’s going to be a VERY tall stack. Can he use a signature stamp, instead of manually signing them all?

In 2007-2008, when the Congress was supposedly “doing nothing”, while waiting for their savior to win the 2008 election, and, having the majorities, they took thousands and thousands of acres of American land. I did a little project, for another site, where I watched Thomas each day. Most of what Congress did was approve land to be acquired by the federal government, adjoining state parks, and otherwise. That was when they were not voting to rename post offices and federal buildings. I started taking an account of the number of acres, it was in the multi-thousands. Pelosi was the speaker, and, she already had already started on the federal land grabs. The Repubs. just voted for it as thought it was nothing.

is next. We will all go to the Mosque;
Or pay the Jizzyah,the tax,.
(PBUH!)

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse than abortions for everyone funded by YOUR tax dollars via Obamacare, we have this. Help me. The blood is shooting from my eyes…..

Join the RedState Strike Force

its the national id program.health care, recreation,and the schools.i would like to know where the hell is our legislators who sword on the bible to perserve and protect the constitution.we must vote out every one who votes for the crap obama is pushing.vote them out in 2010 and 2012.

Remember during the story of Robin Hood, the King owned all the deer in the forest and killing one was punishable by death? Well, this is a plan to starve the population like the Russians were starved in the Ukraine! Resist.

The amount of power that Obama is amassing under the executive branch and effectiveley passing the law making bodies of government is massive and scary. He is rapidly becoming the equivalent of a dictator with policy being set by him and carried out by bureaucrats approved by no one except himself. It is time to get this rectal cavity out of government.

The federal government, particularly under this President, continues to grab for more power and control. We do not need federal control of all waterways. Granted, careful control of the ocean fisheries is important as other countries from around the world excessively fish our waters. However, we don’t need the feds to control the local bass fishing hole.

This Congress and this Administration must go. We can deal with Congress this Novemeber but, we have three more years of dealing with our dictator President.

Great article - the bottomline is Obama is doing just what he said, “Spreading the Wealth.” Why would anyone be surprised their are outside interest groups involved - that is his way of life. Before he become Senator in Illinois, he spent all of his time getting grants for these outside interest groups - this man as we speak is still allowing our hard earned money to sneak out the backdoor via grants. If only people would start researching this, possibly it could be stopped.

Thanks for the great blog, keep them coming; there are so many things happening out there behind closed doors, that none of us really have a clue what’s taking place in our White House.

May God Bless America

…and he can eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he can eat for a lifetime.

Make it a crime to fish, and the man is dependent on the government to provide food to eat.

Does anyone besides me think that this seems to fit a pattern?

On his radio show this morning Mark Davis called this a hoax. Davis stated that the modicum of truth was the Administration’s plan to sign on to a ban on commercial fishing for Bluefin Tuna.

Unfortunately the only readily available support for this news I found is “Media Matters”, which doesn’t cause me a warm feeling.

Another old saying is give a man a match and he can keep warm for a day, set him on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life. Any one got some gasoline.

I now have two huge targets on my back–I am a conservative “Indian”, living on another former reservation (the vast majority of them were ceded back to the US government, but were magically “resurrected” in the 1960’s by this bunch of radical hippies, who went to law school rather than have to go halfway around the world to fight their comrades), who operates a fishing camp!! Our private property rights AS WELL AS our inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness are in dire peril.
This banner of “social justice” will turn out to be a wicked, divisive tool in prying our precious liberty from the citizens of this nation.

ps. does anybody out there wonder why the greenies protest the Japanese whalers, yet are tacitly mute on the ‘right’ of so-called “native americans” to slaughter whales with power boats and high-powered cannons with impunity?
