And something to paste on the wall or scrapbook for reference.

In Romans 1:18-32 is a great description of radical environmentalism facing America today. The most obvious part of the passage begins at verse 22, read this and see if it describes what we are facing today:

Professing to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures... For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Time for this old geezer to hit the hay (02:00) so I'll play catch-up tomorrow. Goodnight.

This is an excellent post! We have a 42 acre ranch that is completely surrounded by National Forest. I have been dreading the day that the environmentalists will use my own government to take the ranch away. It's amazing how little regard is given to the rights our forefathers granted to us in the Constitution.

I have bookmarked this post, and printed a copy. I will contact the Property Rights Foundation tomorrow.

Thank you!

MEGA-BUMP.

BTW, the US Supreme Court issued a landmark TAKINGS ruling on the last day of the 1last session aroung June 29, 2001.

(By coincidence, I was in the room, when it was read.)

It is a step toward greater protection of private property from arbitrary government takings, "without just compensation."

YOU BET!
The scary part is that the NEA is teaching the children the same thing in the schools, where the God is not allowed.

The moral of this story? If you have wetland not that's not on the books yet, bulldose it under while you still have the chance.
So-called endangered lizard on your land? Kill it before they find out.
This may sound radical, but that's what I would do to save my home, property, and everything we"ve worked our whole lives for.

"There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people who 'love Nature' while deploring the 'artificialities' with which 'Man has spoiled "Nature." ' The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of 'Nature' -- but beavers and their dams are. But the contradictions go deeper than this prima-facie absurdity. In declaring his love for a beaver dam (erected by beavers for beavers' purposes) and his hatred for dams erected by men (for the purposes of men) the 'Naturist' reveals his hatred for his own race -- i.e. his own self-hatred." -Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough For Love

Forcing other people to do your bidding, or taking their property throught the power of government is called "rent-seeking".

There is only one cure for it.

Ever wonder why no movie or "progressive" play is ever made about Mohammed or Islam? Ever?

You are right about it no longer just being a problem in the 'West'. It's happening everywhere.

San Antonio Tx is pretty much under the control of the environmentalist wacko faction due to a completely bogus ground water scam.

Vast areas around Austin have been allowed to become overgrown weed patches inundated by a noxious bush called Ash Juniper. Non indigenous and toxic to indigenous herbs and trees it is choking the land and is now protected because a bird uses its bark to build nests.

Land owners have been ruined and their land rendered useless. It's an evil usurpation of the constitutional rights of America and it is not even slowing but rather gathering speed and force.

bump for property rights!

Where there is no property, there is no freedom.

Thanks for the post brity...FReep is the perfect format for highlighting the plight of property owners all over America.
Most people don't really understand what is going on with the loss of property rights in our country. Most people in the US never have any contact with the Feds except at the Post Office and on April 15th when their hard-earned dollars are confiscated.
In the small western town where I have property, you have to have a federal permit to cut firewood, travel in the backcountry, float a river, stake a mining claim, graze a cow, drive in certain parts of the forest. If you shoot a wolf that is eating your livestock you could be financially ruined.

I've mentioned this before but a great magazine that is heavily involved in the land battles and is at the fore of the property rights struggles is RANGE, www.rangemagazine.com I recommend subscribing if you are truely interested in the ongoing battles for rights that are rightfully ours.

Strangely, the casinos on the Mississippi coast don't experience to many problems with wetlands. It's as if acres and acres of saltmarsh just disapear from the government's mind in a snap. And I'ld swear they were still there before the casinos moved in. Funding edercation', you know. And the Corp of Engineers often finds clever ways to resolve messy wetland problems, and ends up spending even more money in its "projects". Odd how those things work.
