Newt Gingrich: Obama’s Attorney Filed Lawsuit Over 8 Migratory Birds to Stop Oil Development (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, February 19, 2012, 10:33 AM
Newt Gingrich was on with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday this morning. After Wallace challenged him on his promise to get gas prices back down to $2.50 per gallon, Newt reminded him,
“You can guarantee under the Obama plan there’s going to be less American production and higher prices. We already have the highest price on average in history. This president is anti-American energy. He is consistently opposing it. You know, his US attorney in North Dakota filed a lawsuit over 8 migratory birds. That’s how much they’re opposed to the oil industry… It was a $1.89 when Obama was sworn in. $2.50 is not some inconceivable number except in the Washington establishment.”
It’s true. (Although the actual number is 28 not 8 which is still absurd.) In October 2011 the Obama administration prosecuted seven oil and gas companies for the deaths of 28 migratory birds. The companies were arraigned in federal court in Bismarck.

This is why Gingrich is the only choice for Republican nominee. His Conservative track record, government experience, geo-political knowledge, and historical knowledge and leadership capabilities are superior to the other candidates.
Newt has a brilliant mind for facts which he can bring with ease, into any conversation. He is a skillful communicator and master at debating.
Newt will shred Obama in 2012.
Sparky commented:
Newt is speaking to the only issues in this election…..the economy, jobs, and security.
Meanwhile, Santorum is harping on how Obama is not governing from Christian values, and Romney is bragging about how he saved the Olympics.
Americans REALLY need to wake up!
NeoKong commented:
We don’t have to import a single drop if we don’t want to. The U.S. has oceans of oil. We could ramp up production and collapse the price worldwide.
Gas could cost .99 cents a gallon if we wanted.
Woody Pfister commented:
Newt should have added that Obama subsidised money losing “green energy” like wind turbines kill thousands of birds a day. Obama also just approved the development of thousands of acres of California desert, eradicating wild land habitat, for solar energy. Economic suicide.
Sickofobama commented:
I quit watching the LIBTARD Chris Wallace when he told Bachmann she was a flake.
But I love it when anybody on our side goes after their side with facts which isn’t very often.

I couldn’t care less if it was 2800 birds. They’re still just birds. We humans rate far above them and will modify our behavior over time. None of us appreciate waste, whether it’s birds or natural resources. But the enviro freaks are out to commit national suicide and BO is supporting their agenda because it supports his which is the destruction of this country.
Rich commented:
The windmills churn up more birds. How many lawsuits has Obama had on them?
DaMav commented:
Yep, I loves me some Newt. Just not as President, unless the other option is Obama.

Totally related, connected and……
If a major refinery on the left coast had a fire Friday and nobody reported the news until Saturday night……
……how hard will the ‘nudge’ be on gas futures and more and how hard will it be to find out if the fire was an accident or a ‘nudge’ ?
Naaaaaaaah……… It can’t happen here.

I was wondering just how long the obama anti US oil/gas/coal Regine would take to notice that there is a whole lot of successful exploration going on in the Dakotas/Montana/Utah. Did this AG team up or get support from some useful idiot sportsman organization. It wouldn’t be the first time that a environmental nut organization conned a sportsman’s group into killing a job energy project with the promise of better hunting or fishing.

“New World Order”
“A total world population of 250-300 million people,
a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
~ Ted Turner
“In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people
per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it is just as bad not to say it.”
~ J. Cousteau, 1991 explorer and UNESCO courier
“We must speak more clearly about sexuality, contraception, about abortion, about values that control population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren’t enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage.”
~ Mikhail Gorbachev
“World population needs to be decreased by 50%”
~ Henry Kissinger
“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to
earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”
~ Prince Phillip
“Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing.”
~ David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club
their real goal is to dramatically decrease the human population by
any means necessary, of which, i believe they are preparing to nuke
half the planet via Iran..

Lets see: 28 birds dead, lets shut down the oil industry in North Dakota.
Seriously declining populations of golden eagles due to collisions with windmill blades… Yawn!
The difference is General Electric. (“G. E., we bring good things to life.”)
Windmills bring lots of money to G. E., which in turn puts money into Obama’s campaign.
As for North Dakota, the golden eagles, and America as a whole?…. SKROOM.

These companies are being prosecuted for the deaths of 28 freakin birds? Are we living in some terrifying dreamland or is this real-life? I cannot believe this.
Birds? Really?
Everyone knows its not about birds anyway.. Obama hates energy producers for some reason, and his fellow mercedes marxists at the cocktail circuit told him to hate them. They make our world go ’round.. and we cannot have a marxist revolution if people have stable lives.
Obama lives on instability. He loves to create mayhem and hardship for families.. especially white ones. He stays up at night thinking up new ways to punish his enemies.
He’s a blood thirsty tyrant who would put us all in camps if he thought he could do it without major resistance. Seriously, what kind of sociopathic affirmative action marxist would intentionally drive up gas prices? It hurts poor people the most, and thats what he needs. The more pain, the more he can blame it on republicans. The ignorant poor that voted for him don’t know any better.. they don’t believe king Obama would lie to them.
If you have been unemployed, you can blame it on the boy-tyrant. If you’ve missed a payment on your house, car, or are being evicted because of it, you can blame it on boy-tyrant. Gas prices dictate how much EVERYTHING costs. He’s intentionally hurting America. We’ve got a traitor in the whitehouse.
After this horrible nightmare is all over, we should send our bills to the idiots we know who voted for this boy-tyrant.

That’s oBama..doing his best to make things worse since Day One.
Newt ought to challenge him to run a totally GREEN campaign..wind, solar, renewable fuels only. He’s so keen on cramming green down every one’s throats. Make him play by his own damn rule book!
JoyO commented:
Yet, thousands of birds have been killed by the environmentalists’ wind mills! Evidentally, the death of the birds are not the issue. It is wind mills are good and oil is BAD.

Economan commented:
The American Bird Conservancy estimates that U.S. wind turbines kill between 75,000 and 275,000 birds per year. Yet the Justice Department is not bringing cases against wind companies. It’s “green” energy so that makes them exempt from ANY kind of critizism because after all, left-wing politics trumps anything else. Even common sense.
chillguy33 commented:
Chris Wallace is such a maroon.
BurmaShave commented:
How many thousands of birds are killed by windmills? I think I heard it was like .5 million.
GladHeart commented:
28 birds is a lot less than are killed by wind generators.
Fionnagh commented:
#23 Great point! and weren’t sheep in NZ or Australia going batty because of the constant chump-chump-chump of those windmills turning? Not to mention humans hearing the noise all of the time.

Newt you had your chance to bring all this up about the mooslum…you chose to attack the other GOP ….when will you learn

GladHeart @ 5:45 is correct. The bird shreaders kill many many more.
