   I observed this Professional Dullard (Salazar) on C-Span not longer ago.

   Beyond being a sad sack of bureaucratic potatoes (ie, one who droned incessantly in the vague, amorphous vernacular of The Bureaucrat), one could quickly tell he is a hapless, excuse-making functionary, trolling ever more for pretexts to “control” more of our land.

   Specifically (over the past decade or so), I have observed government’s relentless encroachment into what are ostensibly “public” lands.

   In particular: The Angeles National Forest, just north of Los Angeles. That area used to be one of general access for public enjoyment (with the obvious caveat that everyone needs to treat the land with respect).

   But now, the volume of locked gates everywhere and patroling Forest Service goons galore has grown exponentially.

   Thus, the only entity disrespecting the land is the very steward who professes to “protect it”, using that “mandate” as a perverse basis to shut it down for everyone (except themselves and their enviro-zealot buddies, of course).

   And to top it all off, when one considers the outrageous government incompetence that permitted a huge chunk of that forest to burn to a crisp two years ago (“The Station Fire”), the level of boiling blood reaches a crescendo.

    The Salazar Brothers are an embarrassment to Colorado. Ken was a senator before being appointed to his position in this sad-sack administration, and promptly started to shut down anything to do with prosperity in Colorado, such as oil and gas drilling to make US more independent.
    THEN, his lame-a$$ brother tried to get re-elected to the western slope congressional district that includes most of the oil and gas drilling. That bro, John, got whipped in the last election. HOWEVER, the new Governor of CO, a Dim-o-bulb, picked him to be the AG Commissioner.

    That’s my position. Other than military installations and offices, it all belongs to the state it is located in. I’m certain that with money paid to the feds from mineral leasing, Wyoming could maintain the public land much more efficient than the feds and have plenty left over. Not that the state bureaucrats are much more efficient than federal bureaucrats, it’s just easier to get some action by the people when needed.

    When I see oil derricks of the coast of California and wind farms off the coast off Cape Cod, then talk to me about strip mining in Wyoming and Utah.

    Local management of land doesn’t necessarily mean good management.

    Enourmous tracts of private land out west are bought up by liberals from the east and west coasts and then shut out to the locals.

    slightly o/t, but speaking of federal employees…one of the ladies I worked with was just complaining about how she can’t understand how some people are hired by the Fed’s when they can’t even do the job they were hired for.

    This was a serious Pot meet Kettle moment as this lady is so unqualified to do her job that I spend about half my day correcting mistakes she makes (I have worked here for 2 years and she for 8 years). These are QA mistakes that are from just being plain lazy.

    I have complained endlessly about the situation and she has gone through remedial training multiple times, but do to her “minority status” I know she will never be fired. The only reason I continue to correct the mistakes is it is ultimately our Wounded Warriors who would suffer (not this lady).

    Wow, and here I thought evolution took millions and millions of years. GOP Rep. Doc Hastings should put out a book, “Spines – How You Too Can Have One.”

    It should be said that there are alot of very nice, very hard working, very intelligent people who are committed to taking care of the land, and its ecosystems (USFS, BLM, ODF (oregon dept of forestry)). It’s the same appreciation and love of the outdoors that draws them to work in that field. And it’s not always the public lands that they are tasked with protecting.

    I lost several friends in the Storm King Mountain fire who were called in there because of the danger to nearby private property.

    Locally, following the B&B complex fire that burned almost a 100,000 acres President Bush shifted policy to thin trees and undergrowth. While that plan drew alot of criticism across the country it was a smart call, that’s decreased exponentially the risk of another catastrophic burn here.

    Good job to the GOP for standing up and saying No to Salazar. Stewardship is necessary for preserving the nations lands that are already designated as public.

    I’m personally for increased efficiency and less waste in our existing agencies.

    Now that you mention it, I loathe the elitist looters that buy up lakeshore, desert and forest lands that once were relatively quite and inexpensive retreats and turn them into “tastefully designed” and “considerate” to the environment residential communities or mega resorts for the jetsets of the world and make the areas too expensive, overbuilt, overused, and generally exclusive of the average guy and gal.

    Sadly, thats too often the case that local governments DO use eminent domain to clear the path for revenue enhancing private developers, generally coercing existing property owners to sell their lands to the developers or because of the increases in property values the skyrocketing propety taxes forces the sale.

    Again its just one of my peeves.

    Doubt she’s made any provisions for upkeep…more likely provisions for a tidy tax deduction and exclusive use of some part of the land gift, possibly a nice secluded vacation home hidden away under 99-year renewable $1 a year lease, secure in the knowledge she won’t have to be near any further development that might ruin her private santuary.

    So please do tell us what exactly is the liberal plan…so far all I see is blame (insert Republican name here). Like that is really going to help America.

    More likely has to do with market worries over QE3 and the higher inflation it will cause…but of course that is way over your head and I probably just caused you to have a massive brain hemorage so I will stop right there.

    Don’t mind ILMC. He’s most likely a liberal plant who frequents Kos or Move-On who thinks he’s being covert and his job is change our minds.

    Regarding the QE, that’s supposed to end. Once the federal government stops printing money, the inflation rate will climb. I suspect the fed will increase interest rates to compensate.

    Either way, it’s a bad deal. We are definately heading into a double-dip recession, but I’ve know that for months now. Housing prices are falling and the price of corn is up 75%, which is nuts.

    We could be spending up towards a 1/3 of our income on grocerys alone in the next few years.

    Exaclty, though from the looks of it the market sure thinks that QE3 is coming down the pipeline. With Obama in charge I could see where he would be thinking that without the debt ceiling being raised so he can borrow more money (putting us further into debt) the only option is to print even more money (cause we all know he has no intentions of cutting spending). And like you said, once the fed stops printing money inflation will go through the roof (alond with interest rates).

    All I can say is thank God I diversified into Gold about 15 years ago.

    Exactly.

    Considering the federal government’s history of mostly mismanagement, it’s not, nor ever will be, in the best position, to manage anything beyond its strict constitutional limits (especially now) to which it hasn’t adhered for a long time.

    My grandson (2) wants to help work on the car, so I gave him some plastic wrenches and screwdrivers etc. He’s ecstatic and can’t hurt anything or himself. That’s what we need do with Washingtoon – give them, like, Monopoly money and tell them they are really important.

    Here’s one that cooked my noodle…The feds subsidize the Amtrak Sunset Limited from New Orleans to LA to the tune of $462/passenger. For that change, you could fly NO to LA and back. Twice. In 1/3 the time. So we borrow money from China so people can ride a train for two days instead of flying? D’OH!

    They are fast turning our real money into less than Monopoly money. And we need to do the reverse and drive it into the space between their ears that, no, they are really not important, and in fact quite insignificant and easily replaceable.

    The Salazar Brothers are an embarrassment to Colorado. Ken was a senator before being appointed to his position in this sad-sack administration, and promptly started to shut down anything to do with prosperity in Colorado, such as oil and gas drilling to make US more independent.
    THEN, his lame-a$$ brother tried to get re-elected to the western slope congressional district that includes most of the oil and gas drilling. That bro, John, got whipped in the last election. HOWEVER, the new Governor of CO, a Dim-o-bulb, picked him to be the AG Commissioner.

    Good gosh, they never go away, do they.

    Remember all Obama is King, Dictator all powerful God of the planet. HE owns the country. He need not follow any laws or the Constitution. His all knowing brain knows what is best for us. So he sends out his robot minions to do his bidding. Be happy we are blessed with such a great and benevolent leader. Be glad his worship does not take away all our land and distribute it the way he sees fit. We should all bow to him as the Marxist media and beg him to just breath his sacred breath is out direction.
