Headlines shout jubilantly, "Republican backing of Gonzales ebbs," and- "Gonzales' GOP support erodes." Let's get some perspective on this While U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales may be generating good ink for reporters, he isn't jeopardizing your opportunity to feed, clothe and shelter you or your family. Frankly, I'd rather read headlines stating, "Republican AND Democrat support of Steve McCormick erodes." Why? Well let's start with explaining who Steve McCormick is. He's the head of The Nature Conservancy (TNC), a group that wields more control over America than a hundred Alberto Gonzales's combined.

How? Well, it's said that over the past several years TNC has gained control of more land and water than any other entity in the world. These guys are seriously messing with agriculture and resource production in the United States.

For evidence of TNC's reach, just look at what's happening in Colorado. Rightful users of water are told, "Stop using the water NOW!" Why? Because the federal government's Endangered Species Act (ESA) now demands use of mostly all water everywhere in America.

The ESA started with noble intent, but was high jacked by groups, like the Nature Conservancy, who found it as a means to get control over your land and water. We have governors and senators who tout the wonders of bio fuels as the saving grace towards energy independence. Simultaneously, they allow ESA to plunder and usurp state water rights. Denying water to crops used for this type of fuel production, will of course, stop this fuel production.

Seated next to any ESA program you'll find groups like TNC. They will tell you they're not there, and although their documents appear to contradict their actions, they are never questioned.

Then there's Pinon Canyon in the South East corner of Colorado. The Army had ample training ground in the Pinon Canyon area, but thought they might want to expand. Seated at the left hand of the Army, the Nature Conservancy secured $7,000,000 from the federal government to...help the Army.

Subsequently, the Army and TNC decided they wanted the entire South East corner of Colorado for purposes both decline to define.

Their on going pursuit of all this land and water, trample the human rights of the Indigenous of Pinon Canyon and surrounding communities.

Why don't these activities compel investigation? Where's that human rights activist who would speak out in behalf of the Pinon Canyon residents? When celebrities including Ed Asner, George Soros, Jessica Lange and Tim Robbins plow millions into their "Celebrities Against Iraq War" campaign, don't they see their hypocrisy when gifting money to groups that support expansion of military training grounds?

Wouldn't you like to see a bold headline: Sen. Chuck Hagel states " McCormick, we cannot have this cloud hanging over your credibility!" Or read - Sen. Diane Feinstein claims "Nation not well-served by TNC's destruction of resources." Or - Senator Alan Specter demands "McCormick should not stay on." Or under a picture of Susan Sarandon scratching her head, the caption "Why does the Nature Conservancy support the war in Iraq?"

READER COMMENTS

Senator Salazar;
your comments on the President alledgedly being a 'devider' not a 'uniter' reflects the usual "bunk" coming from your Party. The Democrats spew so much hate and absolute lies, you and your left-wing media cronies begin to believe the garbage you spread. I for one am tired of your side's continued screaming, interrupting, abrasive and abusive language; and will spend every effort I can to defeat your absolutely traitorous agenda. You Sir, and your kind, including Madame - "who thinks she's the President" - Speaker Pelosi, can go back to your 'cattle' ranch and 'she' to her left-wing looney San Francisco digs. In the next election, and your subsequent re-election effort, I will do all I can to make that happen. I have no respect for the socialists and left-wing fanatics that infest your Party, and who want to destroy the very fabric of this country with their open borders, high taxes, and 'Stalinist' runned socialistic health and welfare systems! May God help my grandkids from the likes of you and your kind. Your side's policies and ineptness will damage this economy and the fabric of our society beyond what we currently can even conprehend. I'm exteremely tired of your "Big Government" wasting our resources on 'mark-ups', social programs, and income redistribution schemes. It's time for a new, third Party to put you and 'spineless' republicans out of business. We need a free-market, community oriented, family rewarding, and 'proud of our history and values' Party that protects the rights and liberties of all native and legal Americans and their 'invited legal guests' in this country. These include legal immigrants (the more the merrier, but our nation decides how many through our elected representatives (not some 'cayote'), tourists, and allies. You Sir, and your Party are not to be trusted!

It is just another piece of the puzzle, another part of the plan. The globalists want to squeeze as many people into the large cities as possible so they can be chipped, shipped, and bagged. It is easier that way. And don't the major oil companies fund most of the nature groups and green groups? These groups are great at denying Americans other options for energy which helps the profits of the oil companies. That is why we dont have nuclear energy. Those poor ole boys in the oil industry are barely making any profit either. Thank goodness we dont have to worry about protecting citizens, because protecting the plan is sooo much more important.
