Letter: Secretary Zinke needs a credible outside review of the monuments

Sept. 5, 2017 5:40 p.m.

There is a certain smug wickedness to the environmental movement. It has no respect for others of a different need or interest. It tolerates no concept of multiple use of the same resource. It recognizes no benefit of utilizing renewable resources (ranching, timber and water). It uses superlatives and tells lies where none are warranted. It wreaks havoc with political manipulations and refuses to negotiate to the good and good will of all. It seeks to deny even future generations the right to determine circumstances in their own time. It imposes almost insurmountable barriers related to cost and time on those of a different bent.

If not better, a tourist economy will certainly be bigger than the current, and more degrading in the long haul than what we have known. The environmentalists will find themselves the "foist of their own petard."

We all should be in favor of maintaining a habitable and if possible an enchanting environment, but we should be good stewards as well as citizens in the process. Citizenship is more than self interest, it is mutual interest. Such is sadly lacking in the current society and I see none of it in the so called "environmentalist cause."

“I think it [Taking down Glen Canyon Dam] is scientifically dubious, legally implausible and politically suicidal,” says Mr. Entsminger in Nevada.

Bad News Bears
n  If you watch TV or go on-line, you’ve run into lots of propaganda via expensive ads regarding Bears Ears.  They may show a paid child actor, or a rich businessmen, claiming San Juan county and the State of Utah are public land haters. Reminds me of something I recently read: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20

Antiquities Act Examined: "Instead of focusing on the protection of specific historic, cultural and scientific objects, the modern designation process is now driven by political gamesmanship, climate change, presidential legacies, corporate interests, and outdoor recreation.”

“They sue counties; they sue federal agencies; they sue politicians; they sue federal agencies. They sue anyone who disagrees with them.”  P.L.

“No President should use the authority under the Antiquities Act to restrict public access, prevent hunting and fishing, burden private land, or eliminate traditional land uses, unless such action is needed to protect the object,” Zinke said Thursday August 24.

Activists in attendance were encouraged to be as extreme as possible to advance their goals, including breaking the law when necessary. Attendees were also told to pressure restaurants, retail and foodservice brands to adopt certain policies with the end goal of forcing them to stop selling animal products.
