    Well, it's just one more example of how this administration treats Americans different....based on his politics.

    So no, you have no evidence to the contrary.

    If you don't see that there is a severe double standard in everything this administration and it's goons does, you must get every bit of your news from Jay Carney and Al Sharpton.

    Green’ Obama Admin allows killing of American eagles by wind farms.(RT).

    At wind farms throughout the US, iconic and protected birds regularly fly into spinning turbines. The crippled bodies of eagles are often found at the base of the machines after being cut up by the quickly spinning blades.

    These birds of prey were once included on the list of threatened and endangered species – and although they are no longer listed, their population is still significantly less than it was in the early 20thcentury. Under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940, disturbing, killing or taking the birds or their eggs is a federal offense punishable by a maximum of two years imprisonment and a $250,000 for an individual felony conviction, and $500,000 for a felony conviction of an organization.


    Hummm....500k for a felony conviction of an organization...

    Eagle Killing Wind Farms Given A Pass By Obama Administration

    [​IMG]

    It’s illegal to kill eagles, but for some strange reason the Obama administration is giving a pass to wind farms that routinely kill the magnificent birds. Not only are the wind farms given a pass, but the administration is also helping them cover up how many eagles and other protected birds that they kill, according to the AP.

    http://lonelyconservative.com/2013/05/eagle-killing-wind-farms-given-a-pass-by-obama-administration/


    Does anyone thinks Obammy really cares about an endangered species??? Obammy needs to go to federal prison for this just as any of us would.

    Liberals like the PETA group aren't really concerned about the environment or animals. They hate BIG OIL, and BIG BANKS, and are anti-corporation and business; period. They are anti-capitalism and they think they've found a backdoor way of stopping it.

    But, of course, they haven't. And they never will.

    Just out of curiosity, has any administration ever prosecuted any wind farm for killing birds? If so, I can't find an instance. Yet wind farms have been doing this for many administrations.

    Time to start applying the law then. Endangered eagles and such don't grow on trees.

    What do you suggest? Closing down wind farms? Fines for each bird killed? Some way to keep birds away from windmills?

    If it was a golden eagle or some other carrion eater that's on the EPA's protected list?

    You bet your ass they would

    They prosecute oil companies when they find those birds dead on the land, even if they died of natural causes.

    This is just your standard unconstitutional selective prosecution by liberals, no different than the IRS Gestapo punishing Americans seeking unconstitutional tax exemptions to exercise their First Amendment freedoms,...when those groups are pro-American, not pro-DemocRAT.

    Didn't Obammy close all off shore drilling in the Gulf because of an oil spill? Yep, fines and shutting them down are in order.

    Do they prosecute the airlines when birds fly into their engines?

    I take it that means no, you don't have a source. If you did, I could find out when it happened, what it covered, when it expired, etc. Can you answer any of those questions?

    Next they'll be blaming Obama for cracks in the sidewalks. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with being rational, consistent, or even specific to a political party. It's a "hate Obama fest" just for the fun of it. But this one is really hilarious.

    Airplanes are not fixed objects that routinely cause harm to enhangered eagles and other raptors.
    Find me accounts of eagles being chopped to death by airplane engines and propellers. I'm not aware of any.

    I didn't realize wanting the Obama regime to enforce federal law was considered "hilarious".

    But given the many other areas in which Obama just decides to disregard laws he chooses not to enforce (like federal immigration law) perhaps you mean it's hilarious to expect Obama to do his job.
