Blame Bush, not liberals --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My friend Joseph Farah is 100 percent right that the Supreme Court ruling against homeowners and their property is an outrage. But as I read on the WND website the usual accusations about "activist judges" and "liberals," I wonder if conservatives could just step back for a second and look at what has really happened.
It seems to me this ruling is more an example of pandering to big business, rather than an example of liberal philosophy. Most liberals I know are quite opposed to the takeover of so much of our life by giant and impersonal conglomerates, and object to how these corporations make it impossible for family-run businesses to compete.
Many of you have turned "liberals" into the convenient scapegoats for everything, but you can lay this one at the feet of the Bush administration. There has not been a more corporation-friendly president in years. The results are frightening if you are an average working person: It's harder to file for bankruptcy, credit-card interest can go as high as 30 percent with nothing you can do about it, gas prices continue to skyrocket, lobbyists have inordinate influence in writing our laws, and American jobs keep getting outsourced.
But readers of WND, instead of admitting that this president and the Republican-led Congress have made only rich people their top priority and ignored everyone else, continue to blame "activist judges and liberals." The mind boggles.
I fully expect to be disagreed with, and I'm ready. But before you tell me I'm wrong, please think about what I've said. Many of you love this president, and while we may never agree about that, please look at the policies that led to the disgraceful Supreme Court ruling – and liberals didn't do it. Greed did it, and isn't it shameful that we generate so little outrage about the selfishness and corruption of our political leaders – and not just our liberal political leaders.
Joseph Farah is right that the Supreme Court should be ashamed, but he is wrong to expect the Bush administration to do anything about it. Why would the president and the Congress disrupt their pattern of favoring big business at the expense of the rest of us?

EVERYONE HERE IS MISSING THE POINT.
LIBERALS BELIEVE IN THE SOCIALIST AND COMMUNIST TENET THAT GOVERNMENT IS ALL POWERFUL...
A TRUE SOCIALIST WILL DO **ANYTHING** TO CREATE DIVISION AND DISSENTION WHILE EXPANDING GOVERNMENT POWER...
DIVISION AND INTERNAL WARFARE IS **CLASSIC** MARXISM... EXPANDING GOVERNMENT POWER IS **CLASSIC** SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM!@!!
Get a grip here... Stop buying into the liberal propaganda. They're doing anything they can to try to turn this one around because the public is FURIOUS at the liberal judges...

More likely Stalin than Bush.
You have to admit...that is a pretty good trick.
;-)
You might not have noticed it, but none of us on this thread are buying this brain-dead drivel.
The Supreme Court ruling split was clear...
The Court Liberals ruled against homeowners and their property and for gov. power...
And the Court Conservatives ruled for homeowners and their property rights against gov. power
...That just a fact
It's only confusing when you try to force those "fact" things into the discussion. Baseless assertions are so much neater.
Oh, that's not nearly evil enough. Bush must eat babies.
Ms Halperin seems a bit unlear on the concept. The LIBERAL justices made this decision. Bush wants to appoint more CONSERVATIVE justices. Had there been more CONSERVATIVES the ruling may have gone differently. Yep, those libs are so much smarter than us dumb ole conservative Bush supporters!!
LOL
LOL
good point....
matter of fact, he also makes kids do drugs and encourages drunk drivers....
And eats them, of course.
GWB really has let us down, hasn't he?
I'm saddened.
Deeply, mind you.

The Supreme Court continually oscillates between being:
A Liberal Stronghold to being Puppets of the Bush Administration... and on the occasion that it upholds abortion rights, and other items on the liberal agenda, it is a bastion of freedom.
Depending of course on how liberals perceive the issues discussed, and ruled on.
There is little doubt that the Liberals actually control the Supreme Court by a slim majority... a very slim majority.
LOL!!!!
Ok folks, ENOUGH! I'm not blaming Bush for the decision. I am Blaming Bush and our Repub buddies in Congress for they're deafening silence. I voted for Bush but will never vote for another Repub again. Between the fiasco on the border and this atrocity just committed and allowed to stand by the socialist supremes, I've had enough! We put these people in power to advance our beliefs. It seems fairly obvious to me that most of them have their own agenda and it's not ours.
"but will never vote for another Repub again."
Hope you enjoy living in a country run by Hillary Clinton. Just keep putting your head in the sand when things don't go your way. Works everytime!
Fine if you are angry enougn about President Bush over the border fiasco and will never vote Repub again, you may do as you wish. This article, however, is pure hogwash.
BTW, maybe you'll get lucky and Hillary! will win the presidency. At least the borders will be controlled, huh?
Carefull we don't blame the republican party for it's own failures.
Sarcasm. Just in case it's not clear.
She's chock full a somepin I can't say.
I believe this ruling is to support city, county and state employees.
These types have a strong vested interest in the tax revenues of any municipality, because it funds their above market salaries and retirements.
The 5 on the court are favoring them, not the corporations.
If the court really believed in "capitalism" and "free enterprise" it woulda told them to buy what land they can, at market prices, without interference by the citicrats.
Around my area, some of the "redevelopment" projects have been obvious failures, yet they continue.
