Tancredo wants to sell federal land
By Associated Press
September 22, 2005

U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo on Wednesday called for the sale of federal land to fund Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

"The federal government may be cash-poor but it is land rich.

"There is demand for farm and ranch land, and the federal government should have long ago transferred its massive holdings to the private sector, where it can be put to use," the Colorado Republican said in a statement.

He introduced a bill in Congress requiring the Interior Department to sell 15 percent of the federal land it controls, excluding national parks and Indian land. The Agriculture Department also would be required to sell a portion of the land it controls.

1. Good thing few people take Tancredo seriously...

... otherwise, we might be in bigger trouble than we are already.

2. All these idiots can think of is Kill and destroy to feed their greed.

Whether it is blacks in New Orleans to take their lands for casinos, Fragile Pristine areas in Alaska for a few months of oil, the last original remaining forests for the wood, Iraq, Afghanistan, 9/11.
Apparently they really do believe the last one alive will be the winner because he will own all the toys.

I am thinking that being a reality challenged rightwingnut is a medical problem in need of treatment back by law. Their thought process seems to be related to sociopathic schizophrenia.

5. Fucking psycho...

It's trash like him, DeLay, Sense-lessbrenner and the like who are aiding the rapid downward spiral of this country.

6. Any excuse will do

For these rightwing bastards. The right has always hated having lands under public control, and they'll come up with whatever argument they can to try to change that.

7. Any chance of

getting this whackjob outta office?

10. So we should steal the Indians' land and give it to some

big corporation?
