We don't own property in this country. Try not paying taxes on your home and you'll discover how illusory your property rights are. You would think its enough for our socialists, comprende? Not really. In Cooper City, Florida, the City Fathers have taken it upon themselves to pass an edict authorizing the city government to seize your personal effects in the event of an emergency. "For your own good." Where have we heard that before? It seems the only party that owns anything free and clear is government. We're well along the road to collectivist despotism and our officialdom is testing to see how much more they can get away with. Next Big Brother will decide he wants to take your life. In the meantime, in Cooper City, besides seizing your personal effects, the authorities have arrogated to themselves the power to confiscate your firearms and ban public meetings. So much for the Bill Of Rights.

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )

The government set the bar pretty low when it comes to taking private property with the Kelo decision a couple years back. After that un-Constitutional decision nothing much surprise me anymore !!!

Sorry, I don't have a spare generator. You should have prepared better. Now get off my property or I will be forced to defend it.

While Commissioner Elliot Kleiman acknowledged that such a law is subject to abuse, he explained, ''but it's not going to happen here.''

I have these for sale cheap any takers?

So if I prepare, I have supplies and the COOPER CITY GOVERNMENT decides that I the "collective rights" demand my preparations be redistributed (without compensation) then they will take?

Does this apply to firearms?
Does this apply to generators?
Does this apply to food?

This law is too broad.


NOTE: cooper city is in Blue Zone Broward (ground zero 2000) county.

But don't worry, they say.

That could possibly put a "monkey wrench" in their agenda.

Anyone who truly owns something and has a life as an individual ALWAYS worries.

Big Brother's already been there, done that (leftist/socialist activist judges and anti-Christian legislators). Terri Shiavo comes immediately to mind... but there are more less-publicized instances throughout the country.

When the next 'emergency situation' occurs (just a matter of time), if the government 'thinks' it's going to take away my guns (as a female living alone, my ONLY protection from the thugs and criminals the leftists have released back on the streets by the thousands)...the government has another 'think' coming. I'll do whatever is necessary to retain and continue to possess my only protection from the criminal element that government has failed to control or to curtail (witness the looting and mayhem in New Orleans, while NO cops stood by either watching or helping).

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Sooner or later, this government will manage to make criminals of us all, to one degree or another. This kind of news is just more confirmation of that eventuality.

I wonder if owning property is going to be a good investment over the long haul as we seem to be steadily sliding ever so slowly into socialism.

It's one defeat after the next for property owners.
-the supreme court rulings on land taking
-the ever increasing zoning restrictions
-the DNR
-the excessive taxes that turn us into renters of our own property
