Rand Paul: Controversial Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining Isn't So Bad -- It Enhances The Land! | TPMDC
In a wide-ranging profile due out in next month's issue of Details, Kentucky's Republican nominee for Senate, Rand Paul, stands up for all the good things the controversial practice of mountain top-removal mining can do for the environment. Despite warnings from conservationists that blowing the tops off of mountains to get the precious, precious coal underneath can have a seriously negative impact on the surrounding environment, Paul says that when you really stop to think about it, losing those mountain tops is actually a net positive.


Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

If it wasn't for these libertarian/Tea party crackpots, the Dems might be in trouble in November.

But the way things are going they're cruising.

ground up Republicans make an excellent pigfeed.  What goes in is the same thing that comes out.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
