This is no surprise. It’s all GOP think. The same mindset that’s been chopping away at the Everglades, part of our nation’s wetlands, under Republican federal and state (both) administrations (i.e. Jeb Bush). Clinton managed to earmark billions for saving wildlife and protecting lands in the later part of his administration, including shoring up the Louisiana coast, but the money for all of those programs was diverted when Bush took office.

It’s what they do and it’s horrifying.

Having been a biologist with the FWS when James “The Rapture is Coming!” Watts was head of Interior under Reagan, I can positively attest to this disgusting mind-set and the destruction these fuckwits cause. Reading this post prompted such energetic expletives that I scared my poor dogs into hiding.
