Scientists To Name New Fish Species After Obama; First Fish Named ‘Insufferable Jerk’ ?
by Tammy on September 4, 2016Upon hearing of his new name the fish, of course, immediately abandoned its job and went golfing. Obama’s being honored with this for federalizing even more of the US, ostensibly in the name of “conservation.” He created a “national monument” equal to the size of Texas, placing it under control of the federal government. The more the Fed takes, the less state sovereignty matters. We all love the animals and want to protect the earth, but the last thing that’s going to accomplish that is the federal government taking control.
