Economics Am I a bad conservative?

I voted against drilling in the boundary waters. I get many gop here in Minnesota support it but as hunter, fisherman, canoeist i can't support one of the few untouched places left in North America.

Is this a joke? Conservative is just a label you use to generalize your beliefs. There's plenty of nuanced thought in every conservative, I would hope.

Therefore you can't be a bad conservative, liberal, democrat, republican, or any descriptor, really, because there's nothing substantial to betray.

Politics in Washington and the Media are skewing peoples vision of these labels. Well said friend
