The recently deceased , James Watt, President Reagan’s Secretary of the Interior, spoke of how there was too much conservation by environmental extremists. Many of his views were based on his extreme religious beliefs. He at one time stated,”I do not know how many future generations we can count on before the Lord returns.”
When talking about conservatives in America religious right wingers do not care about what is good for the country, the environment, your rights or anything else. Perhaps the Spanish Inquisition is next.
Mark, thank you for your comment. This anti-environmental stance of the far right and pretty much the entire GOP now developed over a long, long time. People are often surprised to learn that the godfather of American conservatism, Barry Goldwater, gave a major speech on environmentalism on the first Earth Day in 1970.
