Taking personal property like someone’s house is theft.

That is not what Eminent Domain was meant for. It was used to make roads, furnish living quarters for our soldiers, and other projects. A few years ago the law was changed so that personal property could be confiscated and sold to developers to make things like shopping malls.

What it should be used for is confiscating the property where the mosque is to be built close to ground zero, and tell the muzzies to look elsewhere.

Disagree, but that is off the thread. Using Gov’t to take any property for someone else is tyranny.

Exactly. This is a case of a blogger jumping up and down and wanting attention by calling something that isn't eminent domain, eminent domain.
