Do you really think the Chinese want to ship goods from Mexico to Canada via the US for some nefarious cost-saving reason? Fuel is expensive. Trucks aren't cheap either, even if somebody else builds the highway.
And I'm all for expanding Rte. 35.
And I'll get my kicks on Rte. 69!
I don't know. I don't discount the input, though. Rte. 35? Do you mean I-35 in Texas?
I really am posting off now to read that article.
Don't fall into conspiracies and shadowy motives. The TTC might be a bad idea, but not because of Chinese motives or NAU conspiracies or anything else. It just might be inefficient to have an expensive toll road in Texas.
And how exactly did you deduce that the TXDOT employee (the man whose name was highlighted in the post I responded to) was a 'brown racist' other than him simply having a hispanic name?
When employed by Jesse Jackson. OTOH, it is accurate in regards to post #11. Perhaps it hits too close to home for you?
I didn't say that about Amadeo Saenz. I said that about the various Latinos who really do want to run us out of America and reconquer the southwest for Mexico and/or Aztlan.
Yeah, and those La Raza racist nutcases are small group, mainly confined to colleges. Which has nothing to do with the TXDOT official who was smeared in post #11 simply because he had a hispanic name.
I'm in the group that objects to being retaxed on roads that our taxes already paid for.
"Do you think China is secretly......"
If you or your merry men trust ANYTHING to do with China, you are a fool! If there were ever a conflict between the US and China, the last thing I would want is them controlling our transportation links.
Do you ever think beyond $$$ ?
I meant that they are going to use the Kelo decision to seize the property to give to a private company to build the road in the first place.
Welcome to the Ping, Froufrou! You've got your work cut out for you here with the globalist and the OBL harpies.
No, "they" are going to use eminent domain to build a road. Not condos.
Do you mean the actual slab of pavement located within our borders? Or the port(s) in Mexico?
And we are all going to use it. Your comparison falls apart at that point. There is nothing different between the Spanish operating this road, the British operating an airport, or the French operating a municipal water system.
Or the United Arab Emirates from operating a port, for that matter.
And the above notion is what prompted me to respond to you in the first place. In order for your Kelo comparison to hold, the Spanish would necessarily have to prevent you from using it.
Everything they've invested in., including the Panama canal. We worry so much about Islamofacists but, alway give China the benefit of the doubt. They can not be trusted.
So you basically have no ports being built here, and the argument that no ports should be built there. Not very constructive [pun intended].
As supreme-emperor-elect of the NAU, money means nothing to me. In fact, tomorrow I am posing so that my face will appear on the 1 Amero coin.
Oh, I almost forgot. Mwahaha....etc.
