My suspicion is that Mike Rowe is not one hundred percent in line with conservative principles. He’s given indications he’s a greenie, and he is from the entertainment industry. But on this issue, he absolutely nails it.
I bet he grew up surrounded by libs in San Francisco, but his dirty jobs show has opened his eyes to the reality of the world.
He grew up in Baltimore, was an opera singer, stumbled into this TV hosting gig. He’s not a greenie, he does support reduction of pollutions like any sane person, but he believes the best effort on the conservation front are the profitable one, because they’re self rewarding and self sustaining. Totally out of line with modern anti-private property green.
You may be right. I think it is hard to find someone that will be 100% right on all issues coming from the entertainment industry. I would settle for someone 80% in keeping with Reagan’s 80/20 rule.
Right now, Boehner, Ryan et al are probably 60/40 (that is being generous). We can do better than that. 80/20 works most of the time, but if a candidate is anti-2nd Amendment, pro immigration “reform, or not serious about reducing the size of the Federal government, I am not going to vote for them. Both Boehner and Ryan are 1/3 on those.
