Kelo at it again...

...something you should care about;

Quote:
A drearily familiar dialectic is on display here: Government is behaving badly in order to silence protests of other bad behavior. It is violating the Constitution’s First Amendment, stifling speech about its violation of the Fifth Amendment, as it was properly construed until 2005.

there was already a thread about that ....... ever since Conn. Em Dom Case, local Gov. everywhere have been acting badly, except where restrictions were passed .....

never fear, the Gov. will be along to silence you shortly, by confiscating the family flower business ... and sending you to the Emitsburg Re-education Camp

Government control and abuse falls under the category of "there's nothing I can do about it so no sense in worrying my pretty head."

If I'd had my way, we'd have weeded the people who've allowed this sort of thing out long ago. But no. I was mean, I had no compassion, I suck in general. Tyrant! Dictator! So now we have throngs of idiots in this country who vote for the *real* tyrants and dictators to govern them.

Have fun with that.

And falling under the category of things you CAN do something about is Feb 6 in Annapolis.

You should testify. Tell your story. Stand there in the hall of power in this state and tell them what they have wrought in OUR name, why it's wrong and why your right to keep and bear arms is just that, your right.

Go here;

Maryland Shooters

Register, make yourself known. It's their show and they are looking for more than just a bunch of the same old white guys to testify.

#1, I have a Drs appt that day; #2, complete and total waste of time.

How many people have given up how many hours and spent how many dollars trying to get this state (not to mention this country) to follow the US Constitution when it comes to gun laws and our First Amendment rights? Martin O'Malley and the MD Legislature will do what the hell they want to do and screw anyone who doesn't like it. They just a couple months ago gerrymandered out their opposition - oh and btw, the People voted for that.

So yeah, if I had nothing better to do with my time I'd surely go beat my head against the brick wall.

I hope enough people show up to make a difference so I can go and I hope you have a good rx appointment.

Well, 43 or 44 states did pass reforms after Kelo, but some were better than others, MD's, for instance, wasnt to good. Interestingly, VA did just pass a reform law, back in Nov.

Virginia Eminent Domain Amendment Passes, Along With Veto Session Scheduling

Is Old Dominion a private school?

If we were smarter, we'd stop trying to fight City Hall (and the stupid people who elect these ####tards) and figure out a way to work around them.

I have several near and dears who voted for OweMalley, Obama, etc, etc. Now they are #####ing about taxes, confiscation, etc, etc. I have the cold comfort of saying, ha ha I told you so, but I know in my heart of hearts that they will fall for the same BS next time and then I can say I told them so again. And again. And again.

Anyone who is against abortion - you people are making it worse. Obviously you feel we don't have enough idiots in this country, so great idea! Let's make more!! They're trying to exterminate themselves - why won't you let them?

You Republicans who rant and rave against gay people and make them your enemies - you are part of the problem. They will vote against you - and yes, it's you personally that they are voting against. They get nothing out of the Democrat party except a bunch of mealy mouthed "compassion". You all give them no alternative when you spout your bigoted views.

So not only are we fighting against liberal idiots, we're fighting against conservative idiots as well. Fun times.

Keep telling yourself that, Mr. Part of the Problem.

Die on your sword and see if I care.
