The road to hell is paved with Obama's Green intentions.

What would you do if gangs of robbers roamed your neighborhood at night, breaking into your neighbors' houses and stealing their family jewels and life savings? You would arm yourself, and your family members of sufficient age, to defend your property. Or you would move to a safer neighborhood.

Personal Liberty Alerts

When I was 8 years old, my family experienced a power outage that lasted for three days as the result of a storm.

We were fortunate in the fact that we had a gas water heater, so we still had hot water and could take showers, and we had a natural gas furnace that kept us warm. In addition, we could travel about 1.5 miles from our house to the city, which still had power and was operating as usual. We ate meals at restaurants, we kids went to school and our parents went to work. For the most part, life went on like nothing had happened. The life-changing impact came on the home front; my parents were forced to deal with a teenage girl and two young boys whose motto became, "I'm bored!"

Iranian rescuers and aid workers are on standby to fly to New York City to provide assistance to those affected by Hurricane Sandy, the head of Iran's Red Crescent Organization said on Wednesday.

"We are ready to help the flood-stricken people of America," Mahmud Mozaffar, who leads the organization, told the semiofficial Fars News Agency. His men stand ready to board planes and fly to the United States to help out, assuming the American government accepts Iran's offer, he said. "If American authorities agree, we can send our rescuers with equipment and tools to American cities in the shortest period of time," Mr. Mozaffar said.

As basic parental rights continue to be destroyed in this country, the for profit kidnapping ring, better known as CPS, has mad it their mission to wage war on American families.

Often mismanaged by pedophiles and criminals, CPS has authority to take your child away for any reason. Whether it's smoking a small amount of pot, getting a second medical opinion or eating a poppy seed bagel, your children are never safe with these criminals lurking in the background. With the backing of the ever corrupt family court where basic rights are null and void, CPS has a free pass to raise your child, prescribe psychotropic drugs, limit visitation rights, and expose them to sexual predators and abusers.

As Agenda 21 creeps closer to everyday life, the state of Utah has proposed the registration of 10,000 gardens.

Disguising the registration as a "contest" will easily get unsuspecting enthusiasts to provide personal information about themselves and their food sustainability that would not generally be available. This should raise red flags in every Americans mind. Your privacy is of the utmost importance and you should never voluntarily give it away.

April 12, 2012

The government spent at least $205,075 in 2010 to "translocate" a single bush in San Francisco that stood in the path of a $1.045 billion highway-renovation project that was partially funded by the stimulus President Barack Obama signed in 2009.

The bush-a Franciscan manzanita-was a specimen of a commercially cultivated species of shrub that can be purchased from nurseries for as little as $15.98 per plant. The particular plant in question, however, was discovered in the midst of the City of San Francisco, in the median strip of a highway approaching the Golden Gate Bridge, and was deemed to be the last example of the species in the "wild."

A fire monster in and around Yosemite is devouring trees and buildings with unprecedented ferocity. This monster has already consumed almost 240,000 acres of forest and burned 111 structures, including the destruction of 11 homes and a family camp.

This fire monster is also threatening two groves of ancient giant sequoias. This is just one of 51 fires that have scorched the West since July. From 1985 to 2012, wildfires consumed more than 76 million acres, destroyed thousands of homes and cost $25 billion to fight. In addition, each acre burned produced about the same amount of greenhouse gases, like CO2, that 45 cars emit per year.

Six hundred miles off the coast of South America at the southernmost tip of the globe lays a continent covered with snow and ice surrounded by the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean.

With about 98 percent of its surface covered by ice (which on average measures a mile thick), this massive glacier is the highest, driest, windiest and coldest place in the world - making it an extremely difficult environment for life to survive.

After years of denying they exist in Connecticut, the state Department of Environmental Protection confirmed that a mountain lion was struck and killed by a car last night in Milford.

Earlier in the week, Connecticut environmental officials said it appeared a big cat that had been spotted roaming the town of Greenwich is a mountain lion. Mountain lions have been declared extinct in this part of the country, but DEP officials say this could be an animal that has been released or escaped from a local handler.
