This is an issue that we all must get together on.
S.T.O.P. Stop Taking Our Property!
Stop Eminent Domain Abuse! Restore Property Rights!
Is your home and property in jeopardy? Will the government seize your land?
Will your home become a Mall? Will you be paid “fair market value”?
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that local governments can seize your land/home and sale or give it to private developers for the purpose of generating more taxes.
This ruling has put your property and community in jeopardy!
Things you can do to S.T.O.P. it. Start with your local government.
City Councils- County Commissioners – State Reps. And Senators:
Call or FAX your council members, county and state officials and demand an ordinance/code that protects your property rights from private development. Attend work sessions and business meeting and speak on the issue. Demand your elected officials to go on the record in support of property rights.

Supreme Court rolls out another dud
The Supreme Court has handed down two rulings concerning the display of the 10 commandments in courtrooms and on government property. In a usual 5-4 decision, the High Court said NO to the commandments in courthouses but yes to their display at state capitals and other government properties? Furthermore, the majority opinion written by David Souter, doesn't read very well at all; however, the dissenting view written up by Scalia is much better and makes much more sense. I know there are many libertarians who will disagree with me on this, but read the decision and really think about the fact that there is no clause about "seperation of church and state" anywhere in the Constitution. The First Amendment refers strictly to prohibiting a state-sanctioned religion i.e. how the Church of England was to Britain. The Founding Fathers refered to God and Judeo-Christain principles over and over again. You cannot discount that. So, I feel, once again--The Supreme Court has messed up again--

Leninist Leanings on the Supreme Court
Rudy Takala wrote a terrific article about the comparisons between the writings of Vladimir Lenin and John Paul Stevens--the Supreme Court justice who wrote the majority decision in the New London, CT eminent domain case.
E.g.
"If the peasants sow the fields poorly, they should be helped – and this particularly applies to the poor peasants – by means of collective cultivation of the large estates. There is no other way of helping the poor peasants." Therefore, "the landed estates must be confiscated immediately."
V.Lenin
compared to:
"The city has carefully formulated an economic development plan that it believes will provide appreciable benefits to the community, including -- but by no means limited to -- new jobs and increased tax revenue."
One of my previous blogs dealt with the fact the the United States is indeed a communist country. Let's re-examine that:
Karl Marx mentioned 10 Planks of Communism. America, to some degree or another, has all 10. The Ten Planks of Communism:
1.Abolition of Private Property
2. A Progressive Income Tax
3. Abolition of Inheritance
4. Confiscation of property of all emigrants and rebels
5. A Central Bank
6. Centralization of communications and transportation
7. Extension of factories and instruments of Production into the hands of the State
8. Equal Liability of all to Labor
9. Combinations of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries
10. Free Education for all Children
1. Abolition of Private Property--There is no such thing as true private property in America right now. First of all, Zoning laws compromise your true ownership of land. Also, if you pay property taxes, you are in essence, renting your ownership. And finally, with widespread cases of eminent Domain abuse and as evidenced by the state legistlature this past session, the concept of true private property is simply a joke now. And now, as of the infamous Supreme Court Decision of 6.23.5, Karl Marx is smiling fondly from his grave.
2. A Progressive Income Tax--Enough Said
3. Abolition of all rights of Inheritance--This kind of ebbs and flows from time to time depending on who's in power. Right now things are looking good; however, at some point in the future liberals and socialist will eventually take control of our country and I believe you will see this plank come to fruition within the next 20-50 years.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels--As of right now, there are several federal agencies that can confiscate and sell your land without giving you due process of law. For most people, this pertains to drug dealers and tax evaders; however, a little known law from 1997 allows the government to do this to people who speak out against the government i.e. me. And let's not forget the patriot act.
5. A Central Bank-- The Federal Reserve is a private corporation which makes fiat money out of nothing and then lends it to the government at interest. It is a diabolical and evil cartel that should be done away with.
6. Centralization of Communications and Transportation--This one is also a real no-brainer. FCC and DOT are obvious choice; however, there other regulatory agenices on the federal and state levels that add more government interference with these issues. Transportation is a big one for me--with the concept of "implied consent", the government feels that you should have ZERO rights whenever traveling on a public road. There does exist, in my mind, a constitutional right to travel that the government is infringing upon with this so-called "implied constent". So therefore, once again, constitutional rights are being trampled on by statuatory and regulatory actions.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of Production into the hands of the State--this refers to government control of agriculture and manufacturing. Think of the Department of Agriculture spending millions of dollars every year on subsidies, payments, fees, monies paid to farmers not to plant certain items, etc. Also, the Dept. of the Interior.
8. Equal Liability of all Labor--Social Security, Department of Labor, OSHA, etc.
9. Combinations of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries; Regional Planning
--regional planning does exist in this country with the Planning Reorganization Act of 1949 and a couple of odd executive orders
10. Free Education for all Children--public education, Dept. of Education
May Justices Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer and Kennedy all rot in Hell!!!

A few quotes:
Just as man can't exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right to translate one's rights into reality, to think, to work and keep the results, which means: the right of property"
Ayn Rand
"No power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent"
John Jay
This is truly a say day for those of us who cherish freedom and realize that vigourously guarded property rights are essential for the endurance of our Republic. May God bless us, we're going to need it.

Great Quote on Property
"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence"
John Adams
2nd US president (1797-1801), 1735-1826
Supreme Court Says Property Rights Don't Exist
We are dead in the water...I really think this is the event, and that this date--June 23rd, 2005--will be remembered as the threshold when America went from simply being on the wrong track to actually barelling, out of control, down the proverbial downward spiral. May God bless all of the freedom lovers...were gonna need it. I give this country 50 years tops!!! Maybe only 20. We're through--
