During a six week period in 1903, Texas had a six million acre forest fire (ten times bigger than the biggest fire in 2012) while New Jersey and New York had massive flooding.

Katherine concedes that her intellect is outmatched by a factor of almost fifty.
Obama says that Americans should not be allowed to own rifles, which he calls weapons of war. He has it exactly backwards.
In government hands, rifles are indeed weapons of war. By contrast, in civilian hands rifles are an extremely effective deterrent against tyranny – and they make the possibility of war almost implausible .
“[The Constitution preserves] the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation…(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”
–James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46
“No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
– Thomas Jefferson, Proposal Virginia Constitution, 1 T. Jefferson Papers, 334,[C.J. Boyd, Ed., 1950]
” … to disarm the people – that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them.“
– George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 380
“And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress … to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms…. “
–Samuel Adams
That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided, as dangerous to liberty; and that, in all cases, the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.
Democrats in the US have been cleverly trained over the past four decades to associate high energy costs and low energy availability, with peace, love and happiness.
That is until it actually happens, and then they get hysterical and blame Republicans for not believing that CO2 is the ultimate power of the universe.
Six degrees warming in the Arctic from 1900-1940, and the ice was the same thickness (two metres) as it is today.
We are almost one fourth of the way through 2013, with the US in the deep freeze.
NOAA will of course say that 2013 is above normal, because their funding depends on lying about the climate.
99% of American gun deaths involve handguns, most of which being illegal. Yet no Federal attempt is being made to deal with this problem. No Federal attempt is being made to beef up school security.
Obama is doing nothing to make America’s schools or streets safer. His entire focus is on confiscating legally owned rifles, which cause fewer deaths in the US than baseball bats.
You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.
