The nation's Republican mayors, in a closed-door White House meeting last week, nearly unanimously supported the U.S. Supreme Court's Kelo decision permitting local governments to force property owners to sell or give way to private developers.
The GOP mayors, in Washington for the U.S. Conference of Mayors winter meeting, heard a report on the Kelo decision by Dearborn, Mich., Mayor Michael A. Guido. Chairman of the conference's advisory board, Guido opposed undermining the Supreme Court's ruling.
Anaheim, Calif., Mayor Curt Pringle, a former speaker of the California Assembly, objected with arguments that reflected widespread Republican abhorrence of Kelo. Guido insisted the mayors support local government's authority, and not a single additional mayor rose in support of Pringle.

Can't speak bad of Republicans even when they act like scum.

Of course they did...
The silence is deafening.
Cognitive dissonance induced paralysis.
lol
What else is new?
Oh, by the way, I hope y'all enjoy the resurrection of the Death Tax and the return to the prior tax structure, which are coming to us again too courtesy of the RINOs as well.
This business of an "Ownership Society" is very interesting to me. Apparently, there are new owners in town and we're not invited. Weirdly, the outcome is almost identical to Agenda 21 whether we want it or not. That is what is the most uncomfortable part about it. At the rate things are going, every parcel of land in the country is going to be in the hands of the feds or the banks.
are americans smart enough to fight back against agenda 21?
how can they fight back about something they do not even know.
i have never, ever heard ANY conservative talk radio show discuss this.
tx for the ping to this
I am loathe to say this, but people will die before this is changed.
That was why Bill Clinton was allowed to get awaay with what he did. The Republicans are just as corrupt as the Democrats.Just not in the same areas.
I hear you loud and clear (well, see).
It's galling, though. On the one hand, you have the Conservation Easements and "Smart Growth" stuff coming at us from the left via the public sector. On the other hand, you have big corporate players lobbying to take the rights of ordinary folks away coupled with flouting immigration laws to effectively reduce the wage rates for the rest of us. Very bothersome.

That is why I am off the plantation.
Sad, but true.
When did you make that graphic, BTW?
I copied it from this board.
Because you are inept as well as corrupt, evidently.
^__^
Still, I think it's a great graphic!
:)
Okay, I spent a few years as a city councilman and later was appointed to a local planning & zoning authority that actually (gasp, shudder)set up an Urban Renewal District that affected a bunch of landowners. (If that makes me a corrupt local pol, maybe somebody can explain why I'm not at least a little richer.)
