nice quote, if a bit over-dramatic. You know what would be extreme??? Try the following:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time
to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -- Thomas Jefferson

getting joy out of seeing the emperor w/out clothes chastised for his nakedness does not, imho, qualify as extremism. It does bluntly state - if we conservatives were to generally react as such - that the trampling of the 5th is ok as long as we don't like the person.

Let's keep our focus, randog... you know how good the left is at pointing their fingers at us and saying "...if you can do it, then there's nothing wrong with us doing it, too".

No, it simply states it is ok to trample someones rights once he forfeits them by trampling yours.

Its already been trampled and had a "mud hole stomped in it" The only way to get it back is to make those who did it understand that they are not immune. The only way to do that is to make them victims of their own policies. The only reason any of these jack asses made the ruling they did was because they didn't personalize the situation. They didn't stop to think that it would effect them or they didn't think it could effect them. We need to personalize it for them in as harsh a manner as possible and legal.

So you probably think that my 'necktie party' was a bit over the top, doncha? I do think that they should have a fair trial before we hang them though. We'll even pay as much attention to the rules as they did.

These guys have betrayed their oath and have in fact declared war on private property rights -- the bedrock of America -- and they must pay a price.

If he (and they) meant what they said in their ruling, they should be already packing their bags and looking for new (temporary) homes.

Yeah, we'll come after that one too.

You are coming across as someone who will always find an excuse to not fight. The action of this developer is quite noble and justified. The evil left has been trying to impose Godless socialism on us for 75 years. Souter and the rest of the slime 5 deserve to taste the bitter medicine they imposed upon us. Those on the council could make an extremely powerful statement by agreeing to this proposal. It would send a very clear and unmistakable message to the ruling elite. Actions like this need to be taken if we have any hope of preserving our dying Republic.
