Of all the movements within the cultural Left that gestated and came to maturity from the late sixties to the present moment, the environmental movement has perhaps represented the single greatest threat to both the classical liberal economic and political ideals of the American Founding as well as to its Judeo-Christian social/moral foundations.

The sociopolitical experiment that came out of England 200 years ago and reached fruition in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the American republic, has never been short of enemies to its core principles.

No assault on the economic, social, and moral fabric of American and Western civilization has perhaps been more aggressively and effectively fought than that waged by the environmental movement upon free markets, property rights, representative government, or Judeo-Christian social and moral philosophy regarding the unique value of the human being and his place in the world

A new video entitled Resisting the Green Dragon, produced by a conservative religious group known as The Cornwall Alliance for Stewardship of Creation, is creating quite a stir among environmental groups whose anthill has now been suitably booted by the “religious right.” The Cornwall Alliance, following upon similar work done in years past by the Acton Institute, bills itself as “A coalition of clergy, theologians, religious leaders, scientists, academics, policy experts, and others, that is committed to bringing a proper and balanced biblical view of stewardship to the critical issues of environment and development.”

All well and good – but not for the Left, for whom in all too many cases, the earth and nature itself take priority over human needs, human flourishing, and the “unalienable rights” that are at the root of limited, representative government.

What better example of the anti Christian tone of the environmental movement was the starting of the UN Climate Conference in Cancun with an invocation to a Mayan moon goddess.
