Democrat Establishment Wages War on Bald Eagles

Democrat politicians such as John Kerry and Al Gore who tool around in gas-guzzling SUVs and private jets are always proclaiming what "environmentalists" they are, but here's a shocking case that shows the party's true colors are anything but green.

You know the Dems have screwed up when the extremely pro-Democrat New York Times blows the whistle on them.


Story Continues Below



Citgo Petroleum Corp. (one of those companies routinely condemned by Democrats for supplying America with such necessities as fuel and jobs) was good enough to set aside Petty's Island in the Delaware River as a nature preserve. The reason: A pair of bald eagles nested on the 300-acre island and even hatched an eaglet despite the nearby environmental horrors of Camden and Pennsauken, N.J.
"But now the eagles are facing a greater threat: New Jersey's Democratic power brokers, who are pushing to build a resort on the island, complete with a hotel, more than 300 homes, a conference center and an 18-hole golf course. They are pressuring the McGreevey administration to reject the plans to make the land a nature preserve," the Times reported.

Jeff Tittel, executive director of New Jersey's Republican-bashing, business-bashing Sierra Club, which usually serves as just another tool of the Democrat party, said, "It's kind of sad when Democratic elected officials make an oil company look environmentally friendly."

"Unfortunately for Citgo," the Times reported, "the company ... finds itself on the opposite side of some the most powerful political forces in New Jersey." That would be Democrat Gov. James McGreevey and the notoriously corrupt state's notoriously corrupt Democrat establishment.

America's national symbol vs. the donkey ... place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.
