Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican who turns 54 this week,
was surfing the other day — and not the Internet.
"Most people know that I am one of the few surfers in Congress," the
congressman notes. "Three days ago I was in the ocean surfing off of my
district off Huntington Beach. It was in the Bolsa Chica area and I was
surfing there for two hours. It was a great day for surfing."
Mr. Rohrabacher also scuba dives, calling himself an all-around "ocean
person" who cares greatly about the environment and its stewards. Except when
they lie.
He recalls some 30 years ago being a young reporter assigned to cover a
speech by ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau, "who happened to be one of my
heroes."
"Jacques Cousteau was speaking to these college students, and he was
very pessimistic and I said, 'Gee, I just do not feel right about being so
pessimistic about things in the ocean.´ So, when I came up to him afterwards
to do a short radio interview ... and I said, 'Mr. Cousteau, is not there
some possibility that perhaps the oceans will be used as a source of food for
us in the future beyond just catching fish, like aquaculture and growing
oysters, and clams and lobster? Is that not a possibility?´
"And he just came right up to my face and he said, 'Did you not hear me?
Within 10 years the oceans will be black goo, totally dead, destroyed. The
oceans will be lifeless. Did you not hear me?´
"Of course, I never will forget that," Mr. Rohrabacher says now,
"because this guy got right in my face and he put on a pretty good show for
those kids."
Surfing a few days ago, with "porpoises swimming by and ... the birds
diving into the ocean nearby catching little fish," the congressman wondered
why Mr. Cousteau — and other ecological alarmists of today — have felt they
have "to lie to such a degree."
"Jacques Cousteau was part of a movement," he concluded, "part of a
movement that feels they have a right to lie and they have a right to
frighten people, because they have a higher calling ...
"This is the type of nonsense our young people are being fed in their
schools every day," he says. "They are being lied to in the very same way."
