Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

September 2, 2009

The Endangered Species Act, the source of tremendous economic devastation in rural America, is rooted in a view in which humanity is merely one species among many.

Foundation-funded radical environmental groups work in collaboration with the federal government to restrict or banish human recreational and economic activity within huge swathes of land designated protected species habitat.

Such habitat is generally defined through unscientific or even fraudulent means. A decade ago several Forest Service field biologists were caught falsifying tests used to define the habitat of a protected species of lynx.

One preferred environmental tactic is to re-introduce predators, such as wolves and mountain lions, near rural population centers. As one radical environmentalist candidly admitted, one purpose of re-colonizing such areas with large, feral predators is to use fear as a goad to drive people off the land. That was why wolves were reintroduced to Idaho several years ago, and why environmental groups oppose culling the wolf population now.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
