Great article and post!

This decision is a watershed in American politics. It is one of those defining moments whereby people reveal their true allegiances and motivations....the masks (and gloves) will come off.

IMO, it falls into a special class of political issues which are coming to the forefront of awareness. Illegal immigration is such an issue, as is Christian religious expression. They are unique in that they cut across traditional political lines. Many folks over at DU were just as upset at this ruling as we were.

I don't have general catchall names to describe these new categories. On one side...you have a populist, traditional, individual oriented American culture...on the other a corporatist, elitist, progressive culture...but its a bit more complicated than that in my view.

It is both a cultural as well as a psychological distinction.

As word of this ruling trickles down into the deepest fiber of the American culture - there can be no doubt it will cause major unrest.

Think about the literally millions of homeowners throughout America who will now fall prey to greed.

All a city has to do is ANNEX A DESIRED PROPERTY INTO THE CITY LIMITS to confiscate it.
