From the moment Richard Nixon created the EPA in 1970, and signed the Endangered Species Act (ESA) into law, they have been the primary engines of social change used by leftists environmental elitists to destroy America. They have done so by infiltrating the EPA, and the US Fish & Wildlife (USF&W) the agency which decides what animals will be listed as endangered. Now, 28 years later, these renegade environmentalist wackos are prepared to use the ESA to shut down oil and gas operations in portions of Southeast New Mexico and in West Texas, including the state's top two oil producing counties. All because of a tiny lizard they claim to be endangered, and Obama who has the power to put it on a waiting list has cleared the way for it to be listed.
Through the years the EPA & the ESA have been used to shut down vast areas of America that we as Americans need to survive in a modern world. Areas that contain, rich farmland needed to grow food that both America and foreign countries need to feed billions of people. Forest areas so rich in timber that the price of building homes could be reduced dramatically if only we were allowed to harvest them. Instead, year after year we spend billions fighting fires that reduce the timber to ashes. When it comes to energy, these government paid earth worshipers have used their power to keep us from drilling for oil, and stand in the way of building needed power plants all across America. According to a recent Congressional report America has the largest oil, coal, and natural gas reserves in the world, if tapped we could be completely energy independent. Truth is, America has enough natural energy reserves, timberland, sustainable farm land, freshwater lakes and underground reservoirs that we could reduce the cost of living for each and every American by more than 50%, if only the governments chains of restrictions were removed.
The earth worshiping environmentalists running the USF&W have used an owl to shut down logging in the Northwest, a mouse to shut down wheat farming in Colorado, a minnow and rat to end vegetable growing in California, a frog has closed fish hatcheries in the deep South, while the reintroduction of wolves are endangering the lives of ranchers, farmers, and hunters all across America from the Rockies to Maine. Now they are planning to use a lizard to shut shut down oil production in America's richest source of domestic energy, the Permian Basin of West Texas. We already have one of the largest oil reserves put off limits by the EPA in Anwar Alaska, while Obama is ignoring a Federal judges order to allow drilling to continue in the Gulf. This while almost every communist country in the world has oil wells operating in our backyard, the Gulf of Mexico.
In a logical universe, we would have politicians that would do all they can to make sure Americans had a cost of living so low that no one in America would be struggling to make ends meet. Instead these traitors would rather see Americans struggle to survive while they act as if their various government programs are saving the day. Never before in the history of the world has a countries leaders tried so hard to force its citizens to become so dependent and subservient to other countries. Many of which are our sworn enemies. Can anyone imagine Alexander, Caesar, or even George Washington forcing their citizens to humble themselves before an enemy of lesser power like Persia, Carthage, or England? No, only a modern day Judas, Ephialtes, or Benedict Arnold, would cause their own people to suffer the indignities our leaders so consistently force us to.
The current threat to America's freedom comes from a 3 inch lizard called the Sceloporus Arenicolus, or better known as the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard or the Sand Dune Lizard. It was originally classified as a subspecies of the Sceloporus Graciosus, or Common Sagebrush Lizard. Before they designated the Dune Lizards as a separate species, there were so many of them you could feed them to the Chinese as a delicacy and never run out. It was in 2002 that the Center for Biological Diversity first petitioned to have the lizard listed as endangered. The Bush administration stood in the way of the lizard being listed for 6 years, but last year Obama cleared the way by ordering his administration to back off from delaying the listing. This in spite of the news that Obama has repeatedly refused to grant species the protection for which they are known to qualify adding them instead to the waiting list. So why did he allow this lizard to be listed? There can be only one reason, and that is because Obama wants to destroy America's ability to be energy free. So his relentless attack on America's energy capabilities continues. Go figure.
There was a rally in Roswell NM last week on April 20th that had hundreds protesting the listing and there will be another one on Tuesday April 26th, in Midland Tx at the Midland Center that begins at 5 p.m. with Congressman Mike Conaway speaking to the concerned citizens. Then on Wednesday April 27th, there will be a public hearing held at 6:30 p.m at the Midland Center. If you want to be heard then be there to support those at the front line in the battle to stop a lizard from shutting down Americas 2 largest working oil wells.

About Me: I am a born again Christian who enjoys talking religion and politics. I have always believed that it is the Christian's obligation to understand the workings of our government as well as they do the precepts of God. Jesus tells us to be "wise as serpents and harmless as doves". (Mark 10:16) So it is with this understanding that I approach life. I was born in the Midwest, and while I may have grown up in Northern Minnesota, I have earned my degree in knowledge and understanding from the many regions of America and Europe that I have either lived in or visited as an adult.
This is just another socialist anti-capitalist horror from our Socialist in Chief. The worst Prez in my 72 yrs., it is time for Pubs and the public in general to demand drilling domestically now for our huge energy reserves in coal, gas,oil, shale oil and the safe building of nuclear plants ala European states. No more excuses. This baloney from the GreenLeft that it will be time before all this gets on line, started in the '70's. If we had started then, we would not be in this horrid situation today. Obama is simply alien to our American values, heritage, history and our economic engine of power. Enough.
Screw the lizard, we need the JOBS and oil more than some stupid lizard that has made it all this time without you treehuggers!
What is really sad is this article like so many more are chalk full of misinformation. This little lizard will not shut down oil and gas production as proposed. This lizard has been listed as an endangered species in New Mexico for years and oil and gas continues to be produced at record profit levels for all companies involved. The habitat is so specific for this little lizard that oil and gas companies can easily (and have for at least 5-10 years)avoid large sand dunes. I would love to see some statistics that show this lizard has caused any community to lose jobs, destroy marriages, shut down on oil company, or destroy communities. In actually it will create jobs cause simply put these companies will have to make sure that their actions do not result in the death of this lizard so guess what, they have to hire more people to do this. In a time in our lives when oil companies continue to report record breaking profits while the average american struggles to make it leads me to believe it wouldnt hurt them to hire a few more cash strapped americans. As an official working in a oil and gas office I know for a fact that I have permits to drill in my office that have been sitting here for 3 years or more and the companies just wont drill them. Why are we not as americans asking how come these companies have the permission to build more wells to produce more oil but refuse to do so!! Could it mean that perhaps that would force them to reduce the cost of gas and heating oil and thus reduce their profits?! Lets look at the entire story here and not just the delusional inflammitory remarks made by elected politicians who get all of their campaign funds from the oil and gas companies.
I fail to understand how a Lizzard can compete with human life. They don't drive cars,they don't buy groceries,they don't have medical bills,they don't have rent to pay,not even taxes. What is this man thinking of.Please people vote him out of office in 2012.
The listing in New Mexico is nothing compared the regulations that will come down from the federal listing.
Just look at the way they are pulling up power dams all over California rivers because of a salmon that is supposed to be unique compared to others all over the northwest. Now the elasticity rates in California has gone through the roof, because while they have been tearing out these low volume power dams they have yet to build any new power plants due to other animals on the endangered species list and the EPA regulations that all stand in the way.
Just wait, when this lizard gets listed, the federal government will do to the Permian basin what it is doing in ANWR Alaska. No, individuals like you need to quit worshiping the land you walk on and understand that America is dieing a slow death from within thanks to both the ESA & the EPA.
We're always going to be dependent on energy, so I don't know what you're trying to prove. Also, Obama is capitalist. I don't know why put the idea in your head that he isn't.
Get educated, America has the largest reserves of energy in the entire world. We could be completely energy independent. Quit listening ti the MSM that tells you otherwise.
As for Obama, shoe me evidence he is a capitalist. He is a full fledged Socialist with fascists leanings. Again, get educated on the Muslim in the WH. H has one desire, and that is to destroy America.
Obama is the most worthless piece of crap that the USA has ever known. Perez, Quaddafi, or all the dictators in the world will not destroy America! It will be Obama & the US Government!!!!!
Here's the kicker to the obummer.... He is wanting to build a pipeline from Canada to Texas to pump oil from Canada to oil. This guy has lost his mind.... What is going on????? We need to raise hell with our congress and senate... And if they don't listen no matter what party vote em they hell out!!!!!
