There is NOTHING conservative about any part of the environmental movement, nothing at all. Environmentalism is a political philosophy that eschews private property, and the individual. Conservative environmentalism is an oxymoron.
Oh, they might advocate a tight fiscal agenda, but that hardly makes them conservative. You cannot have a conservative, small government environmental movement.
Absurd. You can be an environmentalist and a Conservative (where the hell do you think “conservation” came from ?). What you are confusing are the wackjob loonies who hide behind the environmentalist label who are essentially Communists and the Zero Growth types, the Global Warming zealots. I get more than a little sick of folks that say you cannot be “pro-environment” (responsibly so) and Conservative. You give ammo to the leftist kooks with that rhetoric by making it look like only they own that issue.
It is not part of the environmental movement; it is what I posted:
In fact, it sounds like a place that Romney supporters would love: fiscally conservative and they want to ignore social issues.
