Sarah Palin Attacks Beluga Whales - From Center for Biological Diversity

By Yereth Rosen
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Five months after suing to keep polar bears off the U.S. threatened species list, Alaska's government said Wednesday it plans to issue a similar challenge to block federal protections for a struggling population of beluga whales in Cook Inlet, a mature oil-producing basin.
Former vice presidential hopeful Gov. Sarah Palin said the energy-rich state believes the Endangered Species Act protections for belugas announced in October by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are unwarranted...
Beluga whales swimming in Cook Inlet, a glacier-fed saltwater channel running from Anchorage to the Gulf of Alaska, numbered as high as 1,300 three decades ago, but has dropped to about 375 since then, according to NOAA.
Alaska's announcement it would challenge the endangered listing drew ire from environmental groups.
"Once again Governor Palin has demonstrated either a complete lack of understanding or lack of concern over the plight of endangered species," Brendan Cummings, oceans program director for the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement Wednesday...
The state and several municipal governments and business groups argue that an endangered listing will hamper business in Alaska's most densely populated region...
With Pres. Bush leaving, the DUmmies turn their hatred to their next greatest fear...

So???
Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

I'm a Christian, but those virtues were realized well before anyone knew about Christ and the one, true God. It's been happening since the beginning of time. .....which, surprisingly, the dumbass Dims want us to relegate ourselves to.

If I can enhoy it in the presence of the next POTUS, so much the better! :)

Hey...isn't that just evolution and that survival of the fittest thing?

Hey...isn't that just evolution and that survival of the fittest thing?
This is one of the great liberal paradoxes - They will be the first to deny the existence of God, and proclaim that evolution is the source of everything that is. Which frankly, is a perfectly acceptable notion. However, they then work to pass laws to deny any further evolution, and to prevent Darwin's basic tenet of 'survival of the fittest' from continuing to occur.

Exactly, just like the B.S. with spotted owls.
