Bring back Woodsy the Owl

Don't laugh. It's just not funny.

Okay- maybe it is a little funny.

Live Earth branded a foul-mouthed flop

What isn't funny is that I actually believe in conservation. Yes, I am a conservative Republican and despite what the media and Al Gore portrays, I believe in preserving the land that God has so graciously lent us.

In fact, most Americans probably agree with me. Most of us believe that we can all do a little more to take care of our environment and do the little things like recycle, car pool, etc...

Especially here in America, we love our parks, beaches and the open land. We don't want to see them turned into garbage pits where animals and people are dead or dying.

However, in one foul-mouthed weekend, Al Gore, Madonna, pretty boy Bon Jovi and all the so called stars managed to turn conservation into one big joke.

Instead of this being an issue we can all come together on, these stars have turned the issue of conservation into a political weapon. They have used their junk science to shove global warming down our throats.

I mean, really, this should never have happened.

I remember the days as a child of Woodsy the Owl and his "Give a hoot, don't pollute" moniker. It was such a simple concept, but it stuck with people. It wasn't political. It wasn't angry or harsh. 30 years later, I still remember Woodsy.

If Al Gore and Madonna truly want to help, they need to bug off and let Woodsy the Owl take over. The liberals have taken a simple concept and destroyed it with their junk science and anger.

It is time to ignore the junk science and get back to "Give a hoot, don't pollute".
