State kicks off Everglades restoration (Jeb the Green Republican takes credit.

Jeb Bush is a green Republican RINO, who has given the land grabbing eco-socialists everything they ever wanted and more. This started out as a program to purchase around 7,000 acres from “willing sellers” only and turned into an abusive 70,000-acre land-grab.

What’s not said in this incredibly biased article is that the people who live just North of this “restoration” will have their water table raised (water seeks it’s own level) and have their property devalued and flooded. Which is exactly what the enviros want, so they can continue their detestable consumption of the American dream.

Jeb is their best friend, just as he was when the people in the 8 ½ square mile area to had their property flooded, devalued and taken.

The guy GOP Jeb is talking about using eminent domain against is Jesse Hardy. There was a big push on this forum for Jesse a while back. He’s a disabled vet who would make history as the first Florida homesteader to have eminent domain used against him in such a fashion.

I strongly urge any conservative or liberty minded American reading this to do whatever it takes to ensure that this man never EVER becomes President.

what's your take on this?

“I’m not a big fan of eminent domain,” Bush said. “But it appears we may have to use it to remove this one person.”

He can't stop the murder of an innocent woman, but he CAN take people's homes from them. I was a Jeb Bush supporter until now. Citizens of Florida, VOTE HIM OUT, ASAP!

Whoa, a double barreler!

Always good to see you btw.

Hmmm.... This is one of the few times I agree with the environmentalists. The Everglades are a major source of fresh water for Florida. Keeping this delicate eco-system viable is going to be incredibly important for the future of Florida, as the state continues to grow.

You may wish to look at the state constitution.

Specifically: Article X, Miscellaneous, Section 6 = Eminent Domain
FLORIDA STATE CONSTITUTION

Should "we" the people wish to change the Constitution, let's have at it.

I say this knowing full well that I bore many, however we live by laws.

Should the law [Constitution] be in need of amending, by all means, let us amend it.

LOL. "Delicate eco-system" huh, nice keywords.

Let's start with the premise that the Everglades is only around 6,000 years old. We already have a 100 mile wide swath that the government is ruining known as "Everglades National Park". Putting that once beautiful area on government welfare was the worst thing to ever happen to it. The populations of warm blooded vertibrae has plummeted since we've entrusted their care to disintersted gov employee bureaucrats from Colorodo, Maine or wherever.

Why is it that you people think that giving property over to the government somehow is good for the environment?

I don't know what clownish literature you've been reading but please tell me how adding 2 feet of nutrient and phosphorus contaminated canal water to this area restores anything. Nothing is being restored as the land was never in the condition they want to make it into. Even their own damn scientists are saying that it's not going to work.

Don't let that stop you however from blurting out platitudes on how an 8 billion dollar socialist boondoggle is just great for everyone.

I'm with ya on that G-man. Sadly however, it seems the only time the dopey populace wants to change the constitution is when they want to afford protections to pigs!

"Jeb Bush is a green Republican RINO"

May we join your club? We just elected the same thing in CA, according to his published campaign "EnvironMental Agenda!"

[AAABEST]

May we join your club?

More like a support group.

My friend, that will be the understatement of the day!

[Carry_Okie]

Who's going to take care of that land? The government? Are you really so credulous as to believe that government stewardship is the most efficient way to care for habitat?

Are they accountable for the efficacy of their plans? What will happen if they fail?

You, the taxpayer, will cough up more money.

Did it have to be this way?
