It's Not Easy Being Green
Revelation 7:3
"Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."
Kermit the Frog sang the song "It's Not That Easy Being Green" decrying the ordinariness of being green. An alternate title for the song could be "I am Blue About Being Green." Being green does help a frog to not be spotted and eaten by a hawk...so it is a question truly of perspective.
Yesterday I received an email that I assumed since I have "Green" ecological tendencies on food issues and the environment and affiliate myself to Green organizations and get their emails, that somehow that made me automatically anti-Conservative.
The email was a pitch for me to join the cell phone service CREDO Mobile because, unlike ATT and Verizon, CREDO Mobile does not contribute to Conservative candidates or causes. Instead, CREDO Mobile is the leading corporate sponsor of Planned Parenthood. I emailed the Green organization letting them know that I will be keeping my ATT service. How any "Green" company can support abortion as part of environmental protection is beyond me. The irony.
It is not easy being Green and Conservative. The perceptions of others like CREDO Mobile is accurate to some degree. Conservatives often show a disdain for reasonable Conservation. This should not be! See this link: Conservative Conservation T-Shirts.
For instance, sustainable agricultural practices are good for family farms. Corporations can use up a parcel of land until it is destroyed by herbicides, pesticides, and nutritionally depleted, and then go out and buy some more land to rape and pillage. It is the family farmer who must preserve the health of the land for future generations of the family. As such, "family-friendly Conservatives" should, when possible, support healthy farming and food. It will be better for your own family too (to eat). What we sow, we shall most surely reap.
In the Lord of the Rings books, "Saruman is one of several characters illustrating the corruption of power; his desire for knowledge and order has led to his fall and he rejects the chance of redemption when it is offered. He serves as an example of technology and modernity being overthrown by the forces of nature." (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saruman).

preservation. I happen to consider the life of the unborn to be primary in regards to preservation. This is not to say that the mother's life issues are to not be important. We just have to preserve a culture of life at all costs. That said,conservatives need to do more to make life affirming decisions in pregnancies more probable. Fair?
