Hey, we still visit national parks, and many hunt there! The important thing is to keep the lib/dems from messing that up with their stupid and dangerous policies of environmentalism. It's also important for R's to remember their roots because it represents sound management policy and stewardship. Such positions need to be trumpeted as juxtaposition to the so-called green movement of the left. Sadly, many Americans think that R's have no policy. That's because the R party hasn't done a good job of expressing themselves on this matter. We should be fearless on this issue and not trumped by the left-wing whackos.

That's very true, they haven't. We've let the Left pre empt us on "environmentalism," they use it as a tool to institute socialism, we have allowed them to corrupt the very meaning of the word, just as we let them corrupt the meaning of the word "liberal."

Yeah, I still go in the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks in my boats and fish there, as do many from this area.

Most of us think the Park Rangers have an "attitude." These rangers act like the parks are just for themselves, and that the general public is in there merely at the government's discretion and pleasure. No matter how polite I am when I get pulled over by a ranger (and they pull you over alot, no matter who you are), they always make me feel like they think I am a peasant, trespassing in the "King's Forest."

Though I've long appreciated that the parks have saved these beautiful areas from development, I'm starting to have serious mixed feelings.

And the park administrators do occasionally talk of closing large areas to fishing, though I believe they do this under pressure from "environmentalists."

Teddy Roosevelt was one of the biggest abusers of land based and rural communities that ever lived. I hope to God nobody, regardless of party ever emulates HIM. Additionally, it's a myth that he was any kind of great hunter.

He was a good poser though.
