U.S. Significantly Weakens Endangered Species Act
Conservatives once stood for &quot;conserv&quot;ation.  The word literally means &quot;aiming to preserve&quot;. In fact they used to be at the forefront of governmental intervention for environmental causes. (see: Teddy Roosevelt)<p>But that all started to change in the 1980s. And now the scale has completely flipped upside down. I very much appreciate their work from the turn of the 20th century beyond WWII. It saddens me what the current party is doing.
