Why don't conservatives care about the environment?

Lefties support the Sierra Club, Nature Conservancy etc whose main function is a K Street office in DC. Conservatives support Ducks Unlimited who has assured protecting of more wildlife habitat that all other such organizations combined. Its one thing to talk about the environment, quite another to put your money where your mouth is.
You boys fret about lightbulbs and we will continue to do the heavy lifting.

I replaced all my lights in my house with CFL's a year and a half ago and have yet to replace one of them. You can't say the same about the old lights. More monetary outlay now, less replacement in the long run. Fiscal conservatives really aren't. They JUST see the short term benefits of paying less and then paying the same amount many times over while I have yet to pay a second time.

No way that has worked for me...I replaced about half of the old bulbs with the new ones and already...6 months or less ?? I have had to replace 3 of them. At that rate I better be saving a butt load on energy and something tells me it probably ain't balancing out. Also, I don't worry about anything but getting all the shards up if I happen to drop and break one of the old ones. No need to keep a ventilator handy....

A recent study by the National Academy of Science shows that conservatives are hostile towards the environment.

In the study when Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL's) were packaged in "Energy Efficient" packaging and sold along side incandescent lamps those who were politically conservative were equally likely to buy the CFL but when the packaging was changed to say "Protect the Environment" they were far more likely not to buy the CFL's.

So why are conservatives hostile towards protecting human health and the environment?

I live in a RED state and see RED voters openly hate regulations that make them healthy. It's not rocket science, the small brains trail while the big brains try to expose what is good for humanity. The big brains only have to spend money to sell "Our product is ok" and the Corporate puppets are ok with it.

There is NO REASON Conservatives or "Libertarians" or "Constitutionalists" should hate our environment. But party lines and profits are what is important, (R)ight?

Conservatives, "by definition" should want to care about the free air/free water state. Yet Texas is now paying for drinking water due to their own standareds. How long until it's air too?

Corporations are what matters (R)ight? Not What is good for the Country and Humanity

Because they can't see anything beyond their own noses except money and how to get it from us.

The only ones taking money from dunces like you are the corrupt politicians you gleefully elect like a trained circus monkey. But then, you're a dunce, how could the obvious have any impact on you?
