There is no form of regulation more disastrous to the US economy than environmental regulation, of which Federal land use control is the epitome. Environmental "protection" is the raison d'etre of global socialism. Heck it even underlies the rationale for the destruction of public education (it's in writing)!
For Cruz not to be sufficiently aware of this to make a point as a high priority in his program it is concerning to me. For him to succeed at it requires an education I am willing to offer, owning the first patent in a free-market environmental management business method, having written three books and many articles dealing with the topic of regulatory corruption, and having personally conducted the most detailed, successful, and enduring native plant restoration in North America. Finally, G-d's first commandment to humans was to care for His creation and his apocalyptic punishments arise out of failing to follow His explicit commands as to how to conduct ourselves toward that end.
Got it now?
So, yes, the comment was more for real than you could reasonably have imagined.

While I agree that the EPA/BLM need to be seriously reined in, they are not the sort of programs that can be totally discontinued (changed to make sense instead of being used as a hammer on the People, but not done away with)I'd wager that God doesn't care much about our economy.
I'd also wager that Cruz is totally aware of it but doesn't want to have idiots claiming he wants us to dirty the air, pollute the waters, and other such nonsense if he makes this a big campaign issue.
God's instructions (instructions, not commandments) were to ensure that folks didn't abuse the land by over planting and rendering it non-arable. He also told folks how to wash their hands and even instructed men who had night time emissions to separate themselves from the general populace. When we claim that every instruction to help His people stay healthy is a commandment, we get away from the New Covenant (which He gave us as a new set of rules/standards) and instead of carrying the Good News of the Gospels, we use the Bible as a hammer even though it wasn't designed as such. Don't get the Old Covenant mixed up with the New and don't worry about how we treat the earth - He has spoken how it will go and what He will do to set things straight - that's why I cringe when Popes get into the global warming insanity and worry about whether or not we will destroy the Earth from under us - if that was His concern, He would have brought it forward.
I understand your concern but don't throw the baby out with the bath water while the water is still running. Expect too much and end up with another Obama.
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
