"Unlike the Earth, we’re intelligent, and we can actually manage things."

Rick Santorum, during a campaign stop in Ohio, criticizing liberals and environmentalists that he believes are putting “Earth above man.”

Santorum made similiar comments during a recent campaign stop in Colorado, in early February, where the candidate was quoted as saying, “we were put on this Earth as creatures of God to have dominion over the Earth, to use it wisely and steward it wisely, but for our benefit not for the Earth’s benefit.”
