[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I just don't think the way to win any argument is to start out accepting a false premise put forth by your opponent, that is the whole reason for the discussion in the first place

Try thinking like a sheeple for a change instead of a FReeper.

There's no need for her to scream that global warming is a hoax right now, otherwise she'll just be portrayed as a lunatic.

Read what she's doing and it makes perfect sense. If the environmental wackos care about the planet, then why do they support us importing our energy instead of getting it here, when we can do it much more environmentally sounder? The reader will see the contrast and say, "Yeah, it makes sense just to get it here rather than importing tankers over the oceans to our shores."

Once you change people's minds about energy and how it's best to get it here, the "global warming is a hoax!" argument will take care of itself.

Exactly! She is being smart and this will be done in inches, not feet. The speech in Simi Valley is closed to the press, I read there is room for 900 people and the waiting list is huge. She will leave people asking for “more” and that is smart.

Bingo, Triple-E.

If she argues that man-induced global warming is a hoax, then she’s lost half the audience for her op-ed.

Smart girl.

And we have the most strict environmental rules of any country. If the environmentalists REALLY cared about Mother Gaia they would allow mining next to Yellowstone and drilling off of California and Florida.

Instead it is done in countries like Indonesia and Nigeria where entire rivers and bays are filled with waste products. And workers are paid 50 cents an hours, and if one dies - oh well, pay the family $5,000 and put in the next lackey.

And don't get me started on “recycled computers” in China!
