Paramilitary tactics may be necessary in California to prepare for, or head off, an apocalyptic future with flooded coastal communities, scorched central valleys and rampant wildfires in the Sierras. That was the advice and prediction from one of the experts at a recent hearing on climate change adaptation by the state watchdog agency the Little Hoover Commission.

Said Robert Verchick, an environmental law professor at Loyola University, New Orleans:

“The way that you build resilience and robustness is to think about everything at once and then move forward in some kind of regimented, maybe paramilitary, way. Because it’s essential. It’s the only way you’re going to save money in this state. And it’s the only way that you’re going to save lives….

Paramilitary activity may be needed in California to keep those people from voting for all these Stalinistic Democrats that want to imprison the rest of us.

Unfortunately, this is not an atypical college professor, defending tyranny on the part of The State to further his pet projects.

These soft-headed morons tend to forget that the intellectual class were some of the first up against the wall once Lenin had completed his revolution.

Forget about the delta smelt, and give us the water in the central valley, Instead of pumping a fresh water fish to the ocean.

Obama’s people are feeling their oats. There is no concern of the right coming for them, they are coming for us.

Maybe they will forget about climate change when that island of debris from Japan hits the west coast. Cleaning up the mess ought to keep them busy.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.

3. The earth is a rock.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Perfect spot for the “Green Police” car ad.
Or the 10-10-10 UK spot, where people who didn’t buy into the scheme were blown up at the push of a button.

“The way that you build resilience and robustness is to think about everything at once and then move forward in some kind of regimented, maybe paramilitary, way. ... To prepare, Verchick called for the creation of a strong central agency responsible for the state’s climate change response.”

So this is going to be “Mein Kampf” with climate “deniers” substituting for Jews?
