Conservatives will not work with us because they hate us. [View all]

While following current news about the Denali wolves, I ran across this in the reader comments section of a LA Times article:

When I was growing up in rural America in the 50's and 60's Conservatives were the ones protecting wild animals like the wolf. In those days, we as Conservatives believed that we were the stewards of these animals and we protected them and nurtured them. We backed legistlation that set aside lands to protect wild animals, we passed laws forbidding the hunting or killing of animals that were struggling.

Now, because Liberals have taken this cause as their own, so-called Neo-Conservatives take the other tack: They go to extremes to take as many animals in the most cruel way possible. The reason? Because they hate Liberals.

My message to my fellow Conservatives: Let go of your hate and do the right thing. The Word of God is clear on this subject: Care, nurture, and guide the natural world so that it produces and does not bring destruction on itself. Killing female wolves in the Spring is simply wrong and not because it's a "liberal" thing. It's wrong because it don't make no sense.

This truth has universal ramifications. It reminds us of who we were before Reagan ushered in today's toxic culture of hate, which has been intensified by his successors.
