Though this is hardly a revelation in this forum, Time Magazine reaches a wide audience-
Republican politicians’ anti-conservation fury is only about a decade old. Many conservation leaders were prominent Republicans and sponsored bills they now attack. Of course, this may not be surprising because I think Ronald Reagan himself might not accepted by today’s Republicans. He would be dismissed as “b” grade actor from the seat of sin — Hollywood — divorced once, and not even much of a church goer. Worst of all he had been the president of a labor union (the Screen Actors guild) 7 times. Those movie stars are pretty much a bunch of lefties.
