I want to seriously urge you to start a new, seperate post stating what you just did. Now is the time for action.
I haven't been this depressed since Babe the pig found out that humans---even his beloved farmer---eat pigs.
"Don't you know what pigs are for? Why you are here?"
"Why are any of us here?"
"The purpose of a pig is to be eaten."
"They eat pigs?"
"Pork, they call it, or bacon. They only call them pigs when they're alive."
"But I'm a sheep pig."
"Believe me, sooner or later, every pig gets eaten."
Every one of the 5 Supreme Court persons that made this obviously unconstitutional decision need to be impeached for violating their oath of office. If there are no consequences they will continue to rip liberty from us until we are no better than slaves.

This might be a good place to start:

And as far as political parties... Only the libertarian party truly believes and practices limited governmnet, as practiced in this country until after 1907.
They may be liberals, but they at least understand the importance of property rights. There is hope for them at last.
The public use is what's been redefined. Now that means if it helps the town's finances, then it's a benefit to the public at large. Blackbird.
Care to be more specific? Blackbird.
To paraphrase Lincoln: "Government's power comes from the assent of those governed. Oh, you don't assent to my government? Here comes the Grand Army of the Republic to kill you."
This is only the fruit of 1865.
"How about a shooting range?"
How about a landfill? That would fit right in with the PREVIOUS owner. ;-)
The Constitution limits the government, not us.We are Free, the government is contained by the constitution, not us.
Our Rights do not come to us from the government. Go figure.
But, the government's rights do come from us, and our consent.
We the People are the final check in our system and the Second Amendment was intended to insure that the People always matter and have a say in what happens here.
Best post in the thread. And that's saying something.
It was during a Republican administration true. However, it was due to 5 liberal justices. This underscores the absolute need to break the Democratic Senatorial movement to keep conservative judges from the bench. Forget SS, forget taxes, forget everything. This is the number one problem, because even if the majority want freedom, laws, and common sense, it only takes 5 liberals to trump it. This is the war that needs to be fought.
George H W Bush's presidency grows smaller and smaller with the passage of time........Souter is his shameful legacy.
As the real wealth of this country continues to be redistributed on a global scale under the guise of "free trade", expect more and more asset seizures as our corporate government needs "hard assets" instead of paper ones.
If there is a silver lining in this, it might be that the bastards overplayed their hand on this one. Folks across the board appear to be really ticked off over this. Maybe something will come of it. Or maybe they'll just go back to watching Fear Factor next week. Time will tell.
The one question still remains. Will a standing army comprised of US citizens open fire on US citizens standing up for their God given rights? I have no doubt that the orders willbe given but will they be carried out?
The weird thing is that nothing has changed. Property has been taken forever. Is it suddenly legal?
No, it was legal all along.
If there is to be a Constitutional amendment, it should state explicitly what property is, what private property is, where it comes from, what part the gov't plays in maintenance of property rights, and extend the domain of property into outer space.
I am serious about all of that because we have been playing with only this planet all this time and now we ought to look toward new land.
The debate on the nature and origin of property will be interesting. BTW, the US has already claimed all of outer space, this in case somebody wants to ignore that fact just like they ignored eminent domain.
That's a tricky question. I've seen anonymous polls of service people (including a recent one at UNC Chapel Hill--you can probably find it on the net soon, if it isn't there already...I know one of the modelers of the poll) which indicate that 60% would shoot Americans to "maintain order." On the other hand, NO service person whom I know personally would consider this, unless shot at first. On the other hand, increasing numbers of combat personnel are foreign-born, and (this is the historian in me coming out) a foreign-born army is the first tool of tyrannizing a free people.
It's a complicated matter. Who can say?
Personally, my Kentucky ancestors fought for their freedoms (right or wrong) in a Tennessee regiment for four years, and they lost, and so did all of us today.
Ballots. And we'll win.
Kind of like an ant claiming ownership of the entire earth, isn't it?
It would result in bloodshed without political action-- but political action will right this wrong, mark my words. The Supreme Court is no longer any better than Mugabe. They've killed 40 million unborn, and now they are empowering local governments with so much power that all the wealthy will bow and scrape before them. In fact, the wealthy now can use local govt. stooges to punish men who don't share their wives. It's complete tyranny. That's why we can win this politically. Sure, I advise anyone with sufficient savings to buy at least one gun, just in case. But they won't be needed.
