As Southrons, one question that we all face in one form or another concerns the environment. The League takes a decidedly agrarian approach to those issues. We need to be good stewards of the land which God has given us. The environmentalists do not take that approach. They think government should protect the land and that more government laws is the solution to the problem. I am always suspect of any solution where increasing government involvement in our lives is proposed as a solution. You can rest assured that if government is the solution, they are selling you "meadow muffins" of enormous size.

There is a big difference between good stewardship and environmentalism. The biggest difference is where the ‘locus of control’ is. In agrarianism, it is the responsibility of the local farmer or land owner to care for his land. With environmentalism (which is nothing more than green communism) it is the government’s land and they are the ones in control of what is to be done with it. Is it surprising that the biggest pushers of ‘green’ are the socialist countries?  This is not to mention that all the hype is based on inaccurate science. They selectively look at the data that creates the hype, but ignore the rest.

Just in the history of ‘Texas". First the experts said that there would never be oil found in Texas. Then once it was discovered, the experts claimed that it would run out by the thirties, then they moved it to the sixties, then the eighties. Well my fellow Texians, do we still have oil? Is Texas still producing? One of my professors pointed out that you always want to see who underwrote the research. Once you know who paid for it, you will know what their agenda was. In the case of the experts, they were bought and paid for by the empire, so they pushed the empires agenda so that the empire gained more control. Now, when you see the environmental experts, look carefully at who is paying them and consider "what is their solution?". If they do not advocate personal responsibility, they are selling you something bad. Just this morning I was reading the Leonardo DiCaprio is hocking his new movie about the environment and it is purposely designed to make people feel bad. There is something wrong about that. Entertainment is about lifting us up or encouraging us or inspiring us. To bring the people down does not make sense to me, but that is par for the course of the environmental movement.

We do not need a bigger government. We do not need the Empire. We do not need the Yankee meddlers. We need independence. We need a return to stewardship.
