environmental "expert"

Phyllis Schlafly, better known as a conservative columnist who often supports the losing side in culture wars, has thrown her weight behind often derided and incredibly ignorant SEN Inhofe of Oklahoma. Calling him the "Senate's environmentalism expert", she derides the Environmental Protection Agency for creating stricter standards for factories and power plants which release, "100,000 tons or more of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons or sulfur hexafluoride."

The funny part is, even after writing that list of unpronounceable chemicals that no sane person would want to inhale, she immediately goes into an argument AGAINST regulating said chemicals. This was all done in an article generally deriding anything the Obama administration has accomplished with very little in the way of suggestions or otherwise of how to move forward.

But, governing has never been a strong point of people like her, unless it's in the bedroom. But, at least she was upfront an honest that she doesn't think the above mentioned chemicals are dangerous. If she wants more of them in her life, maybe she can move to Love Canal? Until then, I'm perfectly happy with the Environmental Protection Agency protecting, you know, the environment.
