EPA needs to be made an endangered, check that, an extinct species.
I know that the liberals around here have been complaining a lot about natural gas drilling, I guess its just a plank in their platform that natural gas is no more acceptable to them than nukes or coal or oil are.
This is Texas. The oil and gas industry has been drilling in our backyards for over one hundred years.
And, now, all of sudden, because a few liberals had to move here to find work, it's a "problem".
EPA and DOJ owned and operated by “The Won”.
Here is the problem.

He is a true believer. Nothing more dangerous. They think they can take shortcuts, don’t need documentation and become little fudal lords when given the chance. OH yes, and the LAW means nothing to them.
Sound like a good candidate for first POW in the war between the Federated Vassal Zones of Washington Dc and the Republic of Texas.

You know Brad and Angie finally got enough of the BS stories about them and went for the jugler against some Rag and demanded a letter from an La Attorney that neither one of them had EVER talked to him/her.

Al needs to be arrested by TX Rangers along with his commie staff, perp-walked to the Greyhound bus station, tarred, feathered, and put on a slow bus to DC in shackles. We don need no stinkin EPA in TX.
