Don’t try to talk reason...
Don’t know you that this is FR??
Knee-jerk reactions based on headlines alone are all we care about here!
Off to the library with you - silly silly silly - did you actually waste your time on research?
Discussion? Reason? Context?
Balderdash!
All we want are black and white absolutes!
Gov. Barbour, despite the fact he guided his state through the Katrina crisis like a Sherpa on a hidden goat trail, saving thousands of lives and millions of dollars, and despite how he made the incompetents over in NOLA look like, well, incompetents - despite all that Haley is now officially evil and contemptible and nothing can change that no matter what good he has ever done before or may ever do in the future, even if he does work out better EmDom rules in MS.
You're absolutely correct. Why should some farmer be allowed to hang onto the land that has been in his family for generation when some other private entity can generate far more money for the government.
Come to think of it, why should your kids choose what they want to study in college? Let the government figure out what career course they should take to maximize tax revenues and then force them to follow such a route.
Click the link up top and read the whole article. It would appear that Barbour vetoed the bill that would essentially close that gaping wound in the “redevelopment” law and preserve private property. The “bill” he wants considered in this “special session” would SPECIFICALLY EXEMPT the very takings the original bill outlawed. In other words, Barbour is a thief and wants to go on being one.
I agree, many here are quick to go on the attack as soon as someone does not follow the EXACT definition of conservative. I do not agree with this decision as I read it now, but I will have to study it a bit more, That being said, Mr Barbour has done too much good for this state to throw him under this bus just now.
