Conservatism and the Environment

Here´s one way to make sure you meet a campaign pledge to prevent wetland destruction: Change the rules to limit the scope of the Clean Water Act (excluding streams). That way, you can devote your resources to those wetlands and in the process make environmental enforcement more complicated, less transparent, and extend the timeframe for enforcement actions. These actions are more than likely to appease and satisfy your polluting campaign contributors.

All hail King George!
