40. What a bunch of ingrates
Teddy Roosevelt, someone I think should be the champion for all 'conservatives' helped grow the National Parks, helped establish the Estate Tax, and to placate the bloodthirsty, he carried a 'big stick'.

TR loved the outdoors. These pale shut-ins need to get to a National Park a few times and then they might have a good idea of what TR loved. The current crop of 'conservatives' are not that at all. They are a bunch of fascist dopes who have no comprehension on why, with control of the executive and the two houses, the spending is up. They have no ideas at all.

These people, since they have no appreciation of the outdoors, since they cannot get outdoors because they are too busy staying in and watching Faux News, these people want to destroy our National Parks. These parks are America's treasure and that treasure is not to be squandered for some extra Nails, etc. or some Pawn shop style mall.

Dances with Wolves for me is a great movie for me, because of the amazing scenery. It was filmed almost today. I don't want to have to see such scenery with strictly Hollywood effects.

I've been to some great National Parks and I do not want them to be gone. These dumbass freeps talking about how good it is to privatize these lands reminds me a bit of a funny Chappelle show sketch: Chapelle is standing on an African coast in the 1800s or sooner as a tribesman and says "Woah! A boatful of white people! Y'all wait here, I'll see what they want"

These people have no god damned clue and have zero sense of history.
