I don't know how many times I need to write this, but Utah's Senator Mike Lee is at it again, trying to do away with your public land. His thoughtful analysis of why we don't need public land this time? Border security, and why we need to absolutely do away with the Wilderness Act in order to do so.
If that feels like it's an even bigger stretch than usual, it's because it is, and he's quickly running out of reasons to convince Americans why we don't deserve our public lands. You'd think he'd give it up already, especially since he absolutely knows that any sort of touching of public lands will basically rain hellfire and brimstone onto his office's voicemail and his staff, yet I suspect Lee just does it for the love of the game, versus caring whether he's re-elected or not. The man is a walking, talking Captain Planet villain if I've ever seen one.
But let's dive into Lee's latest asinine excuse of why the Wilderness Act as it sits, is bad, why it's bad for border security, which it isn't, and why we should all just shut up and give our public lands away to the highest bidder, which we absolutely shouldn't. Let's examine his proposed Border Lands Conservation Act.
