Beer For My Men, Whiskey For My Horses – Worth $96 Million
October 9, 2009
As our culture morphs into something that might even resemble Planet of the Apes, animals are more deserving than people. Our beloved Interior Secretary, Ken Salazar, thinks we need to take 37,000 surplus wild horses and move them someplace where there’s better feeding grounds (perhaps in your backyard) at a measly price tag of $96 million (No, contrary to what some in Detroit think, Obama does NOT have a secret stash).
We have an overgrown population of protected wild horses and our Secretary wants to move them to someplace where they can eat and breed some more and overrun that area too? Smart, real smart. God forbid we kill a horse to spare some range for cattle to graze on. I mean, what do we need cattle for in this country? Can we eat from Obama’s secret stash of food?
“We have a very huge problem in America today, and that is that we have out of control populations of wild horses and burros on our public lands,” Salazar said during a Wednesday conference call. “And it’s a problem that has been simmering and growing over time, and it’s time for us to land on a long-term solution.”
I thought all the “asses” were in Washington?
Hey, here’s an idea. How about a cheap bullet to the head or better yet, don’t they use horses for glue or something? In case anyone else hadn’t noticed, because nobody in Washington has bothered to leave their plush offices yet, we have a few million people out of work, the dollar is tanking, the world is considering ditching the dollar for such things as buying oil, banks are going bust, people are losing their homes and another Washington bureaucrat, spurned on by the animal lovers, wants to dump $96 million dollars to move 37,000 horse. Brilliant, I say, absolutely brilliant.
But wait that’s not all. If you act today you’ll get a free dose of ignorance. That’s right. No need to be concerned about what we are going to do with 37,000 horses. Salazar doesn’t know what he’s going to do with them but by golly he knows it will cost $96 million. Act now! If you would like to sell your land to the United States Government for keeping horses call now. If you don’t act immediately, government may come knocking on your door demanding you give them your land. You are nothing. They need land for totally useless wild horses.
It’s insane, isn’t it?
Wild horse advocacy groups are incensed by the new proposal, saying that the horses should be free to roam their traditional habitat in the West.
Then let the horses suffer the consequences of roaming their traditional habitat. They are eating up the grazing and there’s not enough water. Let them starve to death and contract disease. That’s how Mother Nature handles such problems. Where’s the “natural” wildlife management all these animal lovers rave about. But horses are so pretty!
There is some sensibility that exists out there. Randall O’Toole, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute said:
“I think we ought to go out and machine-gun them,” O’Toole said in an interview with CNSNews.com. “They’re not good for the land, they’re not good for our economy, they’re not good for taxpayers, they’re just good for 13-year-old girls to think about.”
GASP! The idea! O’Toole must be a….well, he must be a something. You can’t disagree with policy without being labeled a racists, a pedophile or something.
What the heck! The federal government owns or controls about 27.5% of the land mass of the United States, we might as well keep buying up more for the animals. They deserve it. Displace Ma and Pa Kettle, that’s alright. It’s for the horses you know.
Nobody in Washington cares one iota for what’s NOT in your wallet. We have become so used to talking in millions of dollars that billions have flown by and now it’s trillions. With that broad scope of intellect drooling in the aisles of Washington, then by God what’s a measly $96 million.
They shoot horses don’t they?

I think their actually worried about what wolves will be eating soon, give em some horses then..Great Idea.
Our elected leaders are all bought and paid for. That’s how the system works. NOBODY gets to the level of potentially being elected into a national power position without being mightily beholden to money. A shell game of the money, by the money and for the money.
Yep, and who owns all that fiat fake currency we think is money..Why the creators of it do, because it is insurance script.. Who owns the Federal Reserve Bank, WHY the World Bank does, based in London, And who owns the World bank, Why the Vatican does, control the worlds wealth, foods, waters, resources, and guess what, you control the worlds people and their puppet leaders, ain’t they a bunch of real smart fellers… Those Roman thugs…
