Forget Abortion; They’re Coming After You Next
From Sea to Shining Sea ^ | 12/09/05 | Purple Mountains

The taking of people’s property by eminent domain in order to sell it to private developers is getting totally out of hand, and crying for justice. After the infamous Kelo vs. New London case was decided in favor of developers by the liberal majority on the Supreme Court, there was a spate of stories about how the US Congress and various states were enacting laws to counter this abysmal (and plainly unconstitutional) decision. It is becoming clear, however, that people’s rights (especially poor people) are being trampled on all over the country, and the only way to right this wrong is to revisit this decision and get it reversed. This means we have to redouble our efforts to elect conservative Republican senators in 2006; we have to pressure RINO (Republicans In Name Only) senators to stop pussy-footing (the worst is Senator Spector who delayed the Alito hearings so he could have time to lecture the NFL about Terrence Owens); and we have to make sure a conservative Republican is elected president in 2008 (not McCain or Giuliani). Just getting Judge Alito to replace Justice O’Connor is not enough. There will still be 5 liberal justices who voted for the developers, and only 4 conservative justices after Justice Alito is confirmed.

The Chinese gov just killed some villagers for refusing to hand over their land.
The liberal judges here in the US must be clapping their hands praising the chicom government. Maybe they'll write a law to allow the gov to kill anyone who refuse to hand over their land.

HMMM, according to the Constitution, It is our right, and our DUTY to overthrow a corrupt government. I think it is beginning to come to that...

Also why the press is pushing the idea that an armed militia is an EVIL thing...

Everything is turning upside down. Strange...
