According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:
A whistleblower has stepped forward in the largest and most corrupt enterprise in our country's history. The enterprise is the federal government; the whistleblower is South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, who warns that the monstrous cancer metastasizing out of DC plans to place American citizens below animals in an appallingly greedy land grab:
A secret administration memo has surfaced revealing plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres from Montana to New Mexico, halting job-creating activities like ranching, forestry, mining and energy development.
As for that pre-Hopey Change concept of consent of the governed:
President Obama could enact the plans in this memo with just the stroke of a pen, without any input from the communities affected by it.
The land grabs are to be justified by unilaterally designating them as "monuments" under the Teddy Roosevelt era Antiquities Act. The government has its eye on over 13.5 million acres, including
A 58,000-acre area in New Mexico. The memo said this should be done so the lesser prairie chicken and the sand dune lizard will be better protected. Are these animals going extinct? No. The bureaucrats wrote that the land should be locked up to "avoid the necessity of listing either of these species as threatened or endangered."
But our land isn't being stolen just for the animals. The thoroughly debunked global warming hoax once again comes into play.
In Nevada, the Obama administration might make another monument in the Heart of the Great Basin because it, supposedly, is a "center of climate change scientific research."
Also, the government needs to seize land to assure that it isn't used to meet our energy needs.
In Colorado, the government is considering designating the Vermillion Basin as a monument because it is "currently under the threat of oil and gas development."
Think of the jobs that could be created were this land to be used productively instead of turned over to the lizards and prairie chickens.
The progressive authoritarians controlling the federal government are quite literally stealing our country away from us.
