No one likes the look of clear cut forests and I don't hear President Bush calling for this. Some will criticize him simply because they don't like the Republican party. Some made fun of Reagan (at the time I was one) but he did bring down the Soviets (most of you have no memories of what this means) but this brought stablity to a world that teetered on global annihilation.
Its natural for young people to be idealistic, this is a good thing. However, as one gains more experience, ideals must be tempered with reality.
So, clear some underbrush and save some firefighters and some homes...
Pathfinder: I respect your viewpoint but think we should act so as to protect our fellow man as well as our natural environment.

Actually I was being flippant. I think that some gardening of the forests are not out of line, but I find Republican motives, when it comes to the envirnoment, to be very suspect.
