Clashes with rural GOP lawmakers characterized much of Jackson’s time in Obama administration, but Jackson has lamented what she says are inaccurate claims about the scope of EPA’s agenda.

Dear EPA Barking Moonbat:

CO2 is NOT an endangerment.

EPA drones and planes are spying on Nebraska and Iowa farms and ranches. And the people are supposed to trust her?

In fact, CO2 is plant food.

Shove it up your smelly Obama, bimbo, and make sure the door does not hit any of it on your way back to the local Starbucks.

Because the rural people don't read, watch TV or have access to the internet so have no idea what the issues are.

Condescending beoch.

In VA they were sued (and lost so far)for claiming that water itself was a pollutant in violation of the Clean Water Act.

Back in 2004, we had these neo-Nazi criminals at EPA nailed for extortion, insurrection and sedition in Rapanos v US. We also had the commie black robes in the 6th circuit appeals court nailed. The gutless worms in the GOP Congress refused to even hold hearings.

We’ll need to clean this out another way.
