McKitten is facing a couple feet of snow this week. He has the perfect opportunity to prove to the world that he can tweet from his windmill.

We don’t think about the Pikas often enough. Climate experts say that just a few minutes of nice weather can kill them.

 Police on the hunt for a former cop accused of killing three people shot multiple people themselves this morning after coming across vehicles that appeared to match the Nissan Titan that suspect Christopher Dorner is believed to be driving, reports the Los Angeles Times.

President Obama wants to take American’s guns away, because they can trust government thugs to take care of them.

The Environmental Protection Agency is set to unveil a plan to counter the effects of climate change.   The draft EPA Climate Change Adaptation Plan, to be published for public consideration in Friday’s edition of the Federal Register, is meant to guide the agency’s response to global warming, which it says is occurring at a rapidly increasing rate.

Apparently they are measuring global warming with a special kind of thermometer which doesn’t involve heat.

No one I know wants anything fundamentally transformed. We have great lives and are very happy with the fantastic legacy and system of government which our predecessors left us. What possible reason could we have for wanting to have the US Constitution and lifestyle fundamentally transformed?

Stalin fundamentally transformed Russia.

This is exactly what the founding fathers of the US warned us against. Call your elected representatives today.

The federal agency’s primary concern is now centered around thwarting “homegrown terrorism,” but information produced and used by the DHS to train its personnel routinely equates conservative political ideology with domestic extremism.

A study funded by the Department of Homeland Security that was leaked last year characterizes Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists.

While Americans are being browbeaten with rhetoric about the necessity to give up semi-automatic firearms in the name of preventing school shootings, the federal government is arming itself to the teeth with both ammunition and guns. Last September, the DHS purchased no less than 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles, labeling them “Personal Defense Weapons.”

A value (slightly) under 2 [degrees Celsius] is certainly looking a whole lot more plausible than anything above 4.5 [degrees].’ Most interestingly, Revkin quotes two of the noisier, anti-sceptic bloggers – Gavin Schmidt and William Connolley – agreeing with this assessment.

Barack Hussein Obama is attempting to disarm US civilians, and have all weapons under his control.

Obama has argued that he can kill Americans whose deaths he believes will keep us all safer, without any due process whatsoever. No law authorizes that. His attorney general has argued that the president’s careful consideration of each target and the narrow use of deadly force are an adequate and constitutional substitute for due process. No court has ever approved that. And his national security adviser has argued that the use of drones is humane since they are “surgical” and only kill their targets. We know that is incorrect, as the folks who monitor all this say that 11 percent to 17 percent of the 2,300 drone-caused deaths have been those of innocent bystanders.

Did you consent to a government that can kill whom it wishes? How about one that plays tricks on federal judges? How long will it be before the presidential killing comes home?

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.

Virginia Bill of Rights

The founding fathers were very clear that standing armies are a threat to liberty. The writers of the Constitution wanted a decentralized militia of armed civilians, because it protects the country from both external and internal threats. If everyone is armed, tyranny by any one individual or group is impossible.

Obama is attempting to do the exact opposite. He wants to disarm all civilians and give himself absolute power. It is beyond mind-boggling that he is getting away with this.
