Ann Coulter on the environment

I wasn't planning to blog today, but I just ran into this conversation Ann Coulter had on Hannity and Colmes a few years back:

Ann Coulter: I take the biblical idea. God gave us the earth.
Democratic Strategist Peter Fenn: Oh, OK.
Coulter: We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees.
Fenn: This is a great idea.
Coulter: God says, "Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours."
Fenn: Terrific. We're Americans, so we should consume as much of the earth's resources...
Coulter: Yes! Yes.
Fenn: ... as fast as we possibly can.
Coulter: As opposed to living like the Indians.

"Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours." Wow. I'm not even sure what to say. What's even worse is that so many people buy Ann Coulter's books and worship what she says.
