LOL! I think many conservatives knee-jerk and run away at the mention of conservation or environmental. This is due to 30-40 years of abuse by the Wacko's that base their environmentalism on junk science and uneconomically policies. It was OK until Clinton became President and then they got a strong voice in the Federal Government. Now its hard to dislodge them. Funny thing is, my Best Friend who is a traditional Democrat(not a Marxist) is a Concrete the World member. He is also a Bush Hater. Essentially he is a walking paradox since most Bush Haters are from the Marxist side of the Democrats Party and most Democrats are "Way To" environmental.

Very true. Each of our two main parties co-opt (is that the right word?) certain issues over time. Years later memories of 'why' are lost on the general population. A hundred years ago, maybe less, the family farmer would have been considered the prime environmentalist if there had been such a popular word.

When someone asks me if I am conservative or liberal, I alway answer with a question, "Does one hand clapping make a sound?" Give me the issue and I may be able to tell you where I stand. For now, the parties try to put us in various boxes and I refuse to go along.
