Why Cons Hate The Gov Except When They Love It

Wisconsin Frac Sands Bill - Watching Scotty Blow, Continued - Esquire:

... If you're keeping score at home, Republicans hate federal land use policy, and the EPA, and the Endangered Species Act, and the entire Interior Department because they violate the sacred principles of "federalism" by taking away local controls and depriving the extraction industries of their god-given right to eat the Earth. They also hate local regulations because local control can deprive the extraction industries of their god-given right to eat the Earth. Conservatism is not opposed to the tyranny of faceless, distant power over the lives of ordinary people as long as the facelessm distant tyranny turns a buck.

Got it.
