The guy in the picture below could be expelled from school in New York for threatening children with a gun-like object, and jailed for having a magazine bigger than five rounds.

The Soviet Union was based on the idea that the government would keep you sheltered, safe and in food and vodka – if you kept your mouth shut.

People who complained or thought for themselves were labeled enemies of public safety, and were vilified and punished.  The press was completely compliant, and the upper 10% lived very well – off the work of the peasants.

We see exactly the same thing occurring in this country with climate skeptics and gun owners. Obama says that both of these groups endanger America’s children, and the press is 100% behind him.

Scourge of NYC’s streets

Ninety percent, or 2,493, of the 2,779 illegal firearms seized from suspects in arrests in the city last year were handguns.

By contrast, a total of 77 assault weapons were seized in arrests in the city, less than 3 percent of the total.

In only three of nearly 1,400 shooting incidents last year were ballistics associated with assault weapons.

New York has a problem with gangs and illegal pistols, so being the left wing geniuses that they are, they chose to confiscate legal rifles – which will increase the crime rate and endanger families and children. An AR-15 saved two college students in New York last week.

Rochester, N.Y. —  Early Tuesday morning, Christopher Boise heard a noise coming from the basement. As he walked toward the source of that noise, the RIT student noticed two men standing in the downstairs portion of his apartment.

“They were waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs,” said Boise.

One of them had a handgun trained on Boise.

Within moments, Boise screamed. His cries were heard by his roommate, Raymond.

“It wasn’t like a, ‘I stepped by stepped on a piece of glass’ kind of scream,” Raymond said.  “So, I instinctively went to my gun bag.”

Raymond owns an AR-15 which is a military style rifle.

Raymond estimated that just five seconds passed until the door started to open. It was one of the intruders.

“By the time I had it out and ready, one of the men came at my door, slowly opened it, saw that there was a barrel on the other side and from there backed out,” Raymond said.

The two men fled the apartment.

Nothing was taken and no shots were fired.

Climate experts tell us that heavy rain is due to global warming, which is why the world record rainfall came during the coldest year ever.

Wolf Creek received two feet of snow over the weekend, and is expecting about the same over the next couple of days.

Since Obama was elected, gun sales have been through the roof – and murder rates have continued to decline.

Obama EPA kills power plant, 3,900 jobs in Texas

Chase Power, the parent company behind the $3 billion Las Brisas coal power plant in Corpus Christi, Texas, announced yesterday that it was cancelling the project.

“Chase Power … has opted to suspend efforts to further permit the facility and is seeking alternative investors as part of a plan of dissolution for the parent company,” Chase CEO Dave Freysinger told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.

Freysinger made it very clear who was responsible for the projects death. “The (Las Brisas Energy Center) is a victim of EPA’s concerted effort to stifle solid-fuel energy facilities in the U.S., including EPA’s carbon-permitting requirements and EPA’s New Source Performance Standards for new power plants,” he said.

The Las Brisas power plant had been part of a larger Las Brisas Energy Center project planned for Corpus Christi’s Inner Harbor. Economists had projected that in the first 5 years of construction and operation the project would create as 1,300 direct and 2,600 indirect jobs. Now none of those jobs will exist.

“These costly rules exceeded the bounds of EPA authority, incur tremendous costs, and produce no real benefits related to climate change,” Freysinger commented.

The Communist Broadcasting Service is getting more aggressive.

From Georgetown law professor Louis Michael Seidman:

I’ve got a simple idea: Let’s give up on the Constitution. I know, it sounds radical, but it’s really not.

With the U.S. in a record drought and the hottest years on record in the last several years, changes are happening so dramatically and so quickly that even predictions made just years ago are happening decades ahead of scheduled times, alarming climate scientists. The Pentagon is also concerned and its recent study cites climate change as a “national security threat.”

The US is most certainly not in a record drought. Droughts of equal or worse severity were quite common during the first half of the last century.
