didn't realize there was a Conservative rational for big federal government control of all those lands.

Well it is some sort of conservative fantasy land - well a nighmarish hell that believes that national parks are inconsistent with conservative principles. But instead of making that argument I will just dare conservatives to make a move for de-federalizing Yosemite or Glacier or Yellowstone or the Smokey Mountains or the Grand Canyon.

I double dog dare you. The voters will make mince-meat of you so fast your head won't have time to spin. We won't need to argue the conservative position because the position will have been nuked so hard the cinders will bounce.

You really seem to be uniformed about this issue. No one is talking about turning National Parks over to the states.

This is an interview about hunting. There is no hunting allowed in National Parks.

The issue is over the many many times larger amount of federal lands that are not in National Parks but are still controlled by federal bureaucracies. Trump thinks federal control in distant Washington DC is a great thing because you never know what people will do when the feds don't control it. Your know, that icky thing called freedom where the central government doesn't control everything.

Is that your position? If not, you may want to rethink your support of Trump.
