Not all conservatives are anti-environmentalist s

Some of us are mainly against Green Party types who would rather all of us lived in teepees in the forest, or against PETA types who would shoot a human (a type of animal themselves, mind you) over a mink coat.

In other words, some of us appear anti-environment because we are against the extremist crackpots that typically appear behind environmental issues and give them bad names.

I'm all for a free market, but also support pushes for common-sense business methods that are less harsh on the environment (solar power, using faster-replaced natural products instead of wood, etc.). If this makes me a bad conservative, then so be it - but I don't think one has to necessarily be for the destruction of the environment in order to be a conservative.
