Taking the "Conserve" out of Conservativism, part one

Wisconsin depends on its water resources. Those resources are strained by unrestricted development. Wetlands legislation helps protect the resources upon which Wisconsin depends. Wetlands legislation is, in effect, "conservative".

One of the things other countries admire about the United States is the idea of Rule of Law: That is, laws are supposed to apply to everyone-there aren't specific goodies you get because you are a major campaign contributor. This seems like a pretty good idea to conserve.

In one move, Governor Walker showed he is not interested in conserving the environment or the rule of law.
