Inhofe to Investigate EPA's "Crucify Them" Strategy

In a speech on the Senate floor, Senator James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, announces that he has launched an investigation into the Obama-EPA's apparent "crucify them" strategy targeted at American energy producers. This investigation will look into EPA's actions towards domestic energy production specifically in light of the agency's recent efforts relating to hydraulic fracturing.
Inhofe's announcement today follows several questionable statements from top EPA officials, including comments released in a little-watched video from 2010, which reveals EPA Region VI Administrator Al Armendariz admitting that EPA's "general philosophy" is to "crucify" and "make examples" of oil and gas companies.

I say WTF to the idiot alarmists who distort what the scientists are actually saying and use skeptic strawman arguments in order to discredit them.

[Michael Starkey]

Critics of Inhofe are useful idiots for the EPA elite. These critics are sociopaths that have contempt for human life; love to see humans suffer; they are resentful of fellow professionals and school mates successes. There work is mediocre; adds no value and creates no wealth; many still live with their mommies. Their pathetic lazy little lives need to be part of a vile state machine so they can feel stronger and important about their worthless carbon dioxide leaking lives.

I did not say Marines should be non-violent when they are performing thier function! Turning to childish logical fallacies and anger in the form of those I mentioned on your own citizens because you do not agree is BS. It leads me to believe you would turn to violence against them if you cannot check your emotions. I don't know what the fuck you served for but I served to keep the freedom for us to dis-agree.

[MrDELTADELTAHOTEL]

Interesting, I'm not a Christian and do not believe in superstition either. I spent 30 years in the military. I supported DADT and I have no problem with gay marriage personally. MARINE GO CHECK YOUR FUCKING SELF if that’s what you are. If you are not you can as you put it "GO FUCK YOURSELF".

[MrDELTADELTAHOTEL]

Labeling, religion disparagement, and character attacks. I guess that's what we can expect from the gay marine community if we cross them. No fear of violence from you hey!

If he used a anology of ants would this douche have found a way to spin it? The sad part is Fox news and asshole like him have a audience, who instead of saying WTF? Listen eagerly like the brain dead they are following the brain dead

= The energy industry insists their product is not causing global warming.=

Not any more. Rex Tillerson, the CEO of ExxonMobil freely admits it, but dismisses it as a simple engineering problem that has engineering solutions.

They know the truth but don't care as long as they can increase the corporate profit for at least as long as they remain in office.

[Richard Pauli]

Kings, Popes and tyrants suppress science to control people. The early Church commanded the Sun to revolve around the Earth, The Soviets tried to dictate genetics by ideology, and tobacco companies still insist that it does not cause cancer. The energy industry insists their product is not causing global warming. Senator Inhofe is a propagandist thug, he is a bag-boy for the carbon fuel industry, a politburo-crat priest brandishing misinformation - he does real damage to our future.

[widebody123]

Inhofe is a corporate whore owned and operated by Koch Industries/ Murray Energy/ Devon Energy and others. He shamelessly lies about man-made climate change which is causing an impending disaster for humankind. He should be charged with crimes against humanity.
