May I direct you to a post on another thread, by another poster who will also explain to you more about this future generations garbage?
**
The tentacles of the subversives are diversified, widespread and deep into the fabric of our country.
The young radicals (communists/socialists) of the 60’s have become college professors, teachers, lawyers, politicians, clergy, news and entertainment media and the business world elite. They are “educating” and recruiting our young for their replacements. They are taking OUR country away from us and saving it for the “Future owners”.
The list at this Link shows what they have accomplished. There have been several additions to this list:
1. They have gotten environmental and regulatory control (NGO’s) over most businesses, resources of water, forests, oil, farming, ranching and mining in order to eliminate their profits and shut them down.
2. They are in the process of bankrupting the people and government with lawsuits, social programs, environmental programs and out-right GIVING money to socialist front groups, the UN and foreign countries.
3. They are eliminating our jobs as much as they can with the above methods and with foreign treaties. NAFTA, FTAA, etc.
Agenda 21 is just another example of what is going on below the surface.
Agenda 21 -- the blueprint to advance Sustainable Development
The guy who wrote that back in 1963 was very prescient.
Just about everything he predicted has come true. And yet the evil empire is dead and the trype it represented is more alive and flourishing here in America than in the old Soviet Union.
However, again, I think you are overreacting to this issue.
Personally, I don't know all that much about the Endangered Spieces Act. I do know government has to be scrutinized to make sure it doesn't exceed its bounds. But NOTHING, NO RIGHT is absolute - NONE of them. All of them are subject to SOME restrictions or we would live in anarchy.
But if we hadn't taken steps in the past to preserve endangered wildlife and prevent habitat destruction, our National Symbol, the bald eagle, would be extinct. Buffalo would be extinct. Bears and wolves would no longer exist - anywhere.
I agree with you about NAFTA, but many good conservatives would say the jobs lost overseas have been replaced here by other jobs and by employing people in other countries they are better able to afford our own exports.
Conservatism and liberalism are not defined by individual litmus tests on signle issues. They are defined by an overall attitude on a multiplicity of varying issues.
Just because I disagree with you in part on this issue doesn't make me a conservative. If I was a liberal I would hunt and own a gun or hate Bill Clinton, or oppose abortion and homosexual marriages or dislike courts which legislate from the bench, or be repelled by revisionist theologians.
But you have to understand how OUR government operates. Lobbyists with money get what they want. So do lobbyists with votes. If they have BOTH, they get even more.
Yes, the radical environmentalists haver a lot of power in Washington. But so do the Construction Unions and Construction lobbies and what is good for the Country and America as a whole should always take precedence, not what an indiviual lobbying group wants.
