James Inhofe

"I can only say that what this country does not need is another Gestapo bureaucracy like the EPA and OSHA. And we do not want that to happen to the FDA."

"Today, we will hear from federal law enforcement agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, who will discuss the problem of ELF and ALF and law enforcements reaction to their dangerous and destructive tactics. It is these tactics, particularly the widespread use of arson, which makes ELF and ALF the #1 domestic terror concern over the likes of white supremacists, militias, and anti-abortion groups."

"It kind of reminds... I could use the Third Reich, the Big Lie. You say something over and over and over and over again, and people will believe it, and thats their strategy... A hot summer has nothing to do with global warming. Lets keep in mind it was just three weeks ago that people were saying, "Wait a minute; it is unusually cool."

"With all of the hysteria, all of the fear, all of the phony science, could it be that manmade global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? It sure sounds like it."

"Since 1895, the media has alternated between global cooling and warming scares during four separate and sometimes overlapping time periods. From 1895 until the 1930’s the media peddled a coming ice age. From the late 1920s until the 1960s they warned of global warming. From the 1950s until the 1970s they warned us again of a coming ice age. This makes modern global warming the fourth estates fourth attempt to promote opposing climate change fears during the last 100 years."

"You might remember, it was 2003 when I made the statement that the idea that manmade gases, CO2, are causing catastrophic global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. I was hated at that time, but now people realize I was right. That, by the way, is the title of my book thats going to come out in January."

"Were both doing the Lords work, Noel."

"When I was ambushed by global warming advocates recently—no, they havent given up—they asked me the same questions they always ask: "What if youre wrong?" and "If youre wrong will you apologize to future generations?" I always answer, "What if youre wrong? Will you apologize to my twenty kids and grandkids for the largest tax increase in American history?" They usually dont have anything to say after that."

"I believe very strongly that we ought to support Israel; that it has a right to the land. This is the most important reason: Because God said so."

"We dont stop and realize that we are dealing with people—the far-left doesnt think we need a military to start with, they really dont. Youve heard me say this before, they really believe if all countries would just stand in a circle and unilaterally disarm and hold hands then all threats would go away, they believe that. They would never say that but they do believe that."

"As a science abuser, Inhofe may be out of control, but he is not at all out of the Republican mainstream."

"Im probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment."
