This keeps getting worse and worse. Why are conservatives so set on destroying the environment? I know many believe that the return of Jesus Christ is imminent so environmental protections don't matter; but what if they are wrong? What is so wrong with making sure the next generation has a planet that is livable?

What do you expect from people who hate science, hate education, and somehow confuse Ayn Rand's selfish philosophy with Jesus.

Conservatives have been wrong on every major environmental issue since the 50s. They put profit before the health of their children and families. Sickness is just a price to be paid so that the conservative can pocket a few dimes.

Other than profit motives, saving corporation dollars on safety and environmental spending, what other reason would any logical person have to continue to roll back this country to times decades ago? We've learned a lot along the way, and safety and the environment are two issues always changing to attempt to keep people and the environment safe. Trump is the epitome of greed.

Nah, just like the work of a petty little man-child intent on undoing everything done by the man who made a joke of him at a dinner.

I don't think it's even about greed. It's about returning to this country to an idealized past where everyone knew their place and white, straight, fundamentalist Christian men have all the power.

The Florida panhandle is home of Pensacola Christian College and is a heavily Independent Fundamental Baptist, highly Trump supporting region of the country. Let's see what happens after their beaches are destroyed and their tourism industry dies and Jesus doesn't come down from heaven to rescue them.

OP, your perverse obsession with Jesus Christ and Christianity, so prevalent in EVERY thread that you start, makes it impossible to take you and your threads seriously.
