Tim, you are coming to that conclusion based solely on what the national politicians are doing. Not just that, also the reactions to what they are doing in the media and in polls. Also people I talk to even Republicans rarely seem to get worked up over government abuses of property rights in the name of environmental protection. It seems like those words are a magic charm and anything done in their name has to be considered good no matter what the cost in terms of money or freedom. Each year, we loose a considerable number of farmland and forested acres to urban sprawl. And every year, even years with Republican administrations, we get new environmental regulations, less freedom to do what we want to do with our own property, and more land put off limits to development.
