What's a pol pot? It's a long pole for handling pots. Remember most people have no education in history so the title will throw them into a state of confusion. Perhaps a modern day villain would have made a better title " Environmental Martha Stewarts"

You're right. Pol Pot is old news. Long forgotten by Americans.

But the basic fact of environmental do-gooders sentencing millions to die horrible malarial deaths should be picked up by the Republicans this season and fed into the campaign. I think it's hugely relevant.

The RATS are working from the assumption that all environmental regulations are divine and all rollbacks of environmental regulations are evil.

Time to set the record straight. Starting with --- for lack of a better phrase: the case of The Environmental Pol Pots.

Remember most people have no education in history

Isn't that the sad truth. I was traveling is southeast Asia a couple of months ago, including Cambodia. You run into a lot of leftist westerners there. One young lady I talked to, who was very opinionated and neo-fascist in her enthusiasm for leftist ideology, had heard the name of the Khmer Rouge, but had no idea of who they were, what they stood for, or what they did to the Cambodians.

My immediate conclusion what that her leftist professors had to have deliberately omitted the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge from her education simply because it would have exposed the ugly ends that Communist ideology leads to.

Equating Pol Pot to Martha Stewart is ridiculous.

Try it this way; Pol Pot as the head of the Khmer Rouge was responsible for the death of 25% of the population of Cambodia during his short reign (well in excess of 2.5 million people).

To equal that number in this country, you would have to kill about 75 million Americans.

Hillary has that sort of political outlook and ruthlessness, but not Martha Stewart.
