A New York ballot proposal threatens doom for private property nationwide
American Thinker ^ | 10/20/2021 | Linda R. Killian

This November, voters in eleven states will be asked to ratify new rights to clean air and water in their state constitutions. If approved by unwary voters, these proposals could wreak havoc on other more important and long established rights and launch litigation nightmares.

In New York State, for example, ballot proposal #2 asks voters to approve an Article I, meaning a basic, constitutional protection: the right to clean and water and a healthful environment. These are simple words, meant to be appealing, but in reality, they are dangerously destructive to property rights, zoning, and businesses.

"Each person shall have a right to clean air and water, and a healthful environment." Aspirational, undefined and unattainable. It's radical social policy camouflaged as environmentalism by New York state's out-of-control, radical Legislature.

Back in the dim, dark days of the past, we used to call these kind of people "watermelons": green on the outside, red on the inside.

They have no fear and are in our face because they don’t need our vote anymore they rigged all the elections, they tried it on the presidential election and it worked. They are also using the vax as a means to clear out all the trouble makers across the economic landscape and those that don’t follow orders, their orders

Like most legislation, the name is the complete opposite of what its name is.

It’s just so Soviet. Just read their constitutions from 1977 or so. It’s all ‘rights to be free of x’. It’ll end the same.

Yes, Since Dominion counts the votes in all NY counties except Erie, Albany and the five boroughs of NYC, the voters in NY are screwed.

So what’s your plan now that you beleive we will lose on everything and it is futile to ever vote? Suicide? Go live in a cave out in the wilderness somewhere? Join the “winners”?

“Sadly he’s 85% correct.”

Interesting. So you say he is 85% correct in his assessment? I’d be interested in seeing the science behind your claim.

Personally I think the poster iks just one of a number of gloom and doomers infesting this site whose lifes work seems to be demolishing morale and freezing us in a state of despair.

Perhaps even a paid troll.

Re: 11 - Target are. a growing number of “fear porn” FReepers.

There were many of them on the COVID-19 threads in early 2020 and which became inactive in the late Summer of 2020. Posting about spraying mail and letting it sit for days; another posted that people should not leave their home/yard for any reason except for medical appointments and groceries. There was some good comments about prepping, but many, many comments about about how bad it was, and how much worse it was going to get. A few still post on FR, several others thankfully do not.

If a G-man farts while transporting me to sing-sing for domestic terrorism, can I sue the federal government for violating the clean air and water amendment?

NYS has lost almost half its House seats over the last 60 years.

We should have lost two this time around.

I’m amazed no other governors made a stink about our census results.

If this ballot proposal passes, God help the folks who can’t afford to vote with their feet.

It’s not just RCV-enabled machines.

NYC now has RCV.

NYS is doubly screwed.

” they don’t need our vote anymore they rigged all the elections”

How do you propose we ‘clean up’ NY elections? If you don’t have a plan, what’s your point in trolling these threads?

If all is lost, why are you even here? If voting is all “rigged” and can never be fixed, why aren’t you out exercising your 2nd Amendment veto?

The fact is you don’t believe what you wrote here because if you did, and if it were true, you’d would be doing something other than whining on a message board.

I see a lot of the same nonsense over at AR-15.com and other message boards. The “all is lost” meme seems to be very common. You never see the folks on the left wallowing in misery like this. When they lose, they are immediately planning their next attack. They don’t quit.

We seem to have so many losers on “our” side.
