So rare that DUmmies and FReepers both are somewhat feeling creepy about it in many cases. It's like....they don't wanna believe, but it is that way. The postings on this have been a fun read on both sites. Now if there were just some way to join forces on this one issue to project one huge loud voice of disgust with the SCOTUS ruling. The knowledge that liberals and conservatives are BOTH mad as hell about this might shake some people up. But please....no candlelight vigils, hand holding circles and choruses of Kum-by-ya.

At first glance you may think so, but the reason both sides disagree are completely different. Freepers are outraged because this totally destroys the concept of individual property rights. DUmmies see this as a case of big, wealthy corporations stomping on the little guy again (class warfare).
If this were a local government leveling a rich guy's mansion or a business in order to build a homeless shelter (for the public good, of course), DUmmies would have nothing but praise for the decision.

That's what I heard too until I went to DU and began to read. Some of the posts scared me to death. One poster was explaining that this ruling was good b/c the government could take land from someone who was misusing it like when they kill animals on their property (i.e. hunting). Another explained that the ruling was OK b/c the government really owns all the property and people are really just leasing it from the gov when they "buy" it. The ranks of the socialists are growing and growing. Most have been brainwashed over the years and can't see how evil socialism is. God help us all.
