Yours is the kind of moronic post that represents the best that new conservatism has to offer. It is untrue and it is aimed at the typical IQ of a Trump supporter.
How about this. Why don't we hear what she actually said? Would you like that youngster?
Now you and I may not like this kind of fatuous nonsense but there is no need to deliberately make her look smart like you did. And what if she called you a liar? Would you admit it or giggle like a 10 year old caught lying?
If you were a real conservative you would understand your libertarian conservative roots. You would embrace the environmental movement like former conservatives did. How about Ronald Reagan who said:
There was a time when conservative America was run by smart, compassionate, educated people. Not people who post tripe like yours.

Speaking of community gardens she said:
“But when you really think about it — when someone says that it’s ‘too hard’ to do a green space that grows Yucca instead of, I don’t know, cauliflower or something — what you’re doing is that you’re taking a colonial approach to environmentalism, and that is why a lot of communities of color get resistant to certain environmentalist movements because they come with the colonial lens on them,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

The Montreal Protocol is a model of cooperation. It is a product of the recognition and international consensus that ozone depletion is a global problem, both in terms of its causes and its effects. The protocol is the result of an extraordinary process of scientific study, negotiations among representatives of the business and environmental communities, and international diplomacy. It is a monumental achievement.
Or Richard Nixon:
Passed the National Environmental Policy act.
Created the Environmental Protection Agency.
Passed the Clean Air act Extension of 1970 the most significant air pollution act in history.
Passed the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Passed the Safe Drinking Water Act
Passed the Endangered Species Act.
Republican Platform of 1968. Not one bit of it applies today:
We must enable family farm enterprise to participate fully in the nation's prosperity. We must bring about quality education for all. We must assure every individual an opportunity for satisfying and rewarding employment. We must attack the root causes of poverty and eradicate racism, hatred and violence.
We must give all citizens the opportunity to influence and shape the events of our time.
We must give increasing attention to the views of the young and recognize their key role in our present as well as the future.
In many areas poverty and its attendant ills afflict large numbers of Americans. Distrust and fear plague us all. Our inner cities teem with poor, crowded in slums. Many rural areas are run down and barren of challenge or opportunity. Minorities among us—particularly the black community, the Mexican-American, the American Indian—suffer disproportionately.
Americans critically need—and are eager for—new and dynamic leadership. We offer that leadership—a leadership to eradicate bitterness and discrimination—responsible, compassionate leadership that will keep its word—leadership every citizen can count on to move this nation forward again, confident, reunited, and sure of purpose.
Crisis of the Cities
For today and tomorrow, there must be—and we pledge—a vigorous effort, nation-wide, to transform the blighted areas of cities into centers of opportunity and progress, culture and talent.
The need is critical. Millions of our people are suffering cruelly from expanding metropolitan blight—congestion, crime, polluted air and water, poor housing, inadequate educational, economic and recreational opportunities. This continuing decay of urban centers—the deepening misery and limited opportunity of citizens living there—is intolerable in America. We promise effective, sustainable action enlisting new energies by the private sector and by governments at all levels.
We pledge:
Energetic, positive leadership to enforce statutory and constitutional protections to eliminate discrimination;
Concern for the unique problems of citizens long disadvantaged in our total society by race, color, national origin, creed, or sex;
A greater involvement of vast private enterprise resources in the improvement of urban life, induced by tax and other incentives;
New technological and administrative approaches through flexible federal programs enabling and encouraging communities to solve their own problems;
A complete overhaul and restructuring of the competing and overlapping jumble of federal programs to enable state and local governments to focus on priority objectives.
There was a time when conservative America was run by smart, compassionate, educated people. Not people who post tripe like yours.
