EPA Director Gina McCarthy has praised environmental lawyers for their work, telling them enforcement really is democracy in action.
When I think about how effective weve been I keep coming back to the same reason for that effectiveness, its because our laws have teeth, its because EPA is empowered to enforce them, McCarthy told attendees at the American Bar Association Fall Conference.

WOW! Sounds more like fascism in action to me. EPA shuts you down because of some portion of the clean water act and you have no recourse. You can't even take them to court. Yeah lady, that's democracy in action all right. Grrrrrrr!!!!!!! Kent recycling is living this nightmare right now in Louisiana. Nice to know that the Pacific Legal Foundation is stepping up and is going to try to push this to the SCOTUS re., property rights.

No, no, no, you thought it was like the ancient Greeks.
Forget that. Democracy is mob action. Get with the plan.

Gina McCarthy should be fired and shunned. She should be forced to roam BLM lands dressed in sackcloth, begging for forgiveness for her leftist idiocy. Then, after some extended time, she should exiled.

HUH? Did we all vote to shut down the coal industry?
Perhaps I missed it.

EPA Director Gina McCarthy has praised environmental lawyers for their work, telling them enforcement really is democracy in action..... and she followed up with "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."

Apparently enough didiots did so on 11/8/2008. Something about energy prices skyrocketing being a good thing or something. Sheesh!

She is no more a delusional bitch than all the other liars who worked in the Soviet Agitprop industry. In fact, they never went away. They just found new homes in the American mass media, academia and government.
These people don’t believe a word they say, but they would like us to believe it.

I disagree. I believe they mostly think they are doing great things and do not realize how many people loathe them.

I think the stupid rank and file are “true believers” but the ones running agencies know better. And don’t care for anything but power.

Could be but stupidity and incompetence at the highest levels appears to be a hallmark of the Obola administration. I don’t think they are all just acting stupid, I suspect many are genuine idiots.
