Buchanan accused the Supreme Court of purging “God and the Ten Commandments and moral teachings out of the public schools of America.” With the court rulings, Buchanan said, “Easter has disappeared, and now we have Earth Day so we can all worship dirt.”

Compensate land owners for endangered species habitat
As President I will require Congress to vote on every endangered species and compensate property owners when their land is seized and converted into protected habitat. We want to see the bald eagle and grizzly bear survive, but unelected bureaucrats must
not be allowed to violate property rights in the process.

People conserve land, not federal or international agencies
We have a Biblically-based obligation to be good stewards of the land as “keepers of the commons.” However, the modern environmental movement has been co-opted by globalists who use international treaties to regulate our industries, and violate property
rights by converting private holdings into public “habitats”. No one is more qualified to conserve land than the people who live on it. The government should not trample states rights by turning local land into public property.

Put people first, not insects and rats
The central organizing principle of this republic is freedom. And from the ancient forests of Oregon, to the Inland Empire of California, America’s great middle class has got to
start standing up to the environmental extremists who put insects, rats and birds - ahead of families, workers and jobs.
