I'm with the priest
What the good father said:One point, though, must be stressed since the slow-witted always seem to miss it [...] to be against slavery doesn't mean one has to praise Lincoln's rape of the South, and to lament that rape doesn't mean one has any love for slavery.
Fr Jim Tucker, "Liberty and the War Between the States"

I was browsing /. comments this morning when I came across this post by a user named Brandybuck which makes a similar case:
"There is not "anti-environmental" lobby, but there certainly is an "anti-environmentalist" lobby. Like it or not, environmentalism is a specific political ideology. Not everyone who wants to protect the environment is an environmentalist. Not everyone who wants to eliminate pollution is an environmentalist. Pretending that wanting to clean up the Earth is environmentalism is as silly as pretending that wanting to eliminate poverty is socialism."
