I remember as a kid supporting the clean air act of 1963 fine as day. My proudest moment is taking a trip to Yellowstone and seeing a Bison up in person. Now in today's divide, I'd be labeled a RINO or prog pussy as a republican for supporting protecting the environment and our national parks which was created by ole Tedy himself. I was taught in school America existed before 1776 ya know like the pilgrims landing in Plymouth. Now if you bring up native Indians like the Mississippian culture, it's like it didn't exist at all. What the hell happened to critical thinking and getting a decent public education in America? Today's kids have no respect for learning about history, civics and understanding each other's differences.

Polarization from social media and Pravda.

There is no middle ground.

Politicians and the media learned they could gain wealth and power by dividing us. They're off to the races with no signs of slowing.

You can thank leftists for turning all things environmental into a naked power grab such that normal people believe nothing they say about it.

For instance I would suspect you are a lefty kook because you led off with what a martyr you are because someone may disagree with you on the wacko agenda

No you wouldn't.

I'm a pretty hard conservative and I am an avid environmentalist. Not so much global warming, but protecting the land and national parks for animals to prosper and for us to enjoy is something everyone should be on board with.

Probably because most of the legislation being considered/passed isn't about protecting the environment...

Marxist and Socialist entryism infiltrated the Democratic party, the media, educational system and the corporate world. Slowly over time the system has been changed piece by piece until we are suddenly seeing the result.

It just didn't happen overnight, this has been a long burning fuse.

If the Clean Air Act cost $2 trillion of tax payer money and only 9% of it actually had something to do with clean air, would you be for it? Would you be curious where the other 91% went?

Why is it necessary for the government to pass a multi-billion dollar piece of legislation to declare the air to be clean? Or to declare anything to be anything?
Answer: they are mortgaging the future of the country to pay themselves and their buddies off under the guise of something noble.

When you tear down statues and attempt to rewrite history because you don't agree with it, this is what you get.

Most hunters are conservative and most hunters are environmentalists, as in responsible stewardship of our resources, not as in Unibomber and PETA.

I blame it on the internet’s rise and social media. For every good thing about the internet there are 10 horrible negatives.

You had 50 years to get this shite on the right track, and now you are upset because nobody gives a shite about indians?

But they can get an abortion without the parents knowing and soon they’ll be able to get their sex changed without parental permission. And soon after that your 16 year old daughter will be able to date a 30 year old without your okay and even pose for porno.
