You know, this is the type of politically correct decision that our (insert your own word here) eunich politicians make when they bow to the enviro-global-warming-we’re-all-gonna-die crowd.

The fact that there are more polar bears now than ever seems to escape them. One politician who stood up against this decision, James Inhofe, (shock- a Republican) came out with some numbers that are quoted over at Michelle Malkin:

“Lost in the debate is the fact that polar bear numbers have dramatically increased over the past forty years – a fact even liberal environmental activists are forced to concede. According to Canadian scientists, 11 of the 13 bear populations are stable, with some increasing. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service now estimates that there are currently 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears. These numbers are substantially up from lows estimates in the range of 5,000-10,000 in the 1950s and 1960s. Credit should be given to protection already provided the polar bear by way of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the several international conservation treaties including the 1973 Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears and the U.S.-Russia Polar Bear Conservation and Management Act of 2006, as well as conservation, education, and outreach agreement with native peoples.

In addition to the fact that the libs will now use this for political gain in everything from drilling for oil to property development, I would like to point out this one small thing to them:

They have ALWAYS been an endangered species, you imbeciles!

They live a tenuous existence on floating patches of ice, depending on a food source that occasionally sticks its head through holes in that ice, holes that appear every few miles. WE have nothing to do with the fact that their very existence is, and always has been, precarious at best. Nature will decide when, and if, they die off, not us. In the meantime the ice isn’t going away. Neither are the polar bears.

Look at the numbers. There are more now than at any time in the past. Why? Because we’re ALREADY PROTECTING THEM, that’s why. They’ll probably be catching their seals long after we’re gone.

Deep breath. Think about waterfalls and tropical islands…..okay. I’m back.

I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again…...political correctness will be the death of civilization as we know it.
