Executive Order: Protecting the Property Rights of the American People

[iamapatient]

we already have a constitution and numerous court cases that protect property rights...it's pretty clear the cases in kelo and in florida especially are totally unconstitutional, with people being offered 1/4 of their property/house value, corrupt local boards and city councils...it's disgusting.

we don't need an unconstitutional executive order to do something the constitution already does.

The problem with your claim that Kelo was unconstitutional is that the liberal majority in the SCOTUS says it is and they count where you dont. The cases that are being abused are not cases of federal government taking the property, it's all local/county/State government doing it and until the newer SCOTUS overturns Kelo or rules on other cases to set conflicting precidence, it is constitutional.

Just how is this Executive order unconstitutional? It just limits the federal government from doing what the others have been doing.

No, not very strong, just wrong and stupid. The question is, are you always going to stay so ignorant?

I guess ignorance is a cycle that starts at the Right or Left...

True ignorance would be blindly supporting ANYTHING one political party or group says soley in virtue of the fact that they said it...

I am not a conervative or a liberal, good sir...I try to think for myself, as I am sure you do too!

A little harmless "politcal ribbing" never hurt anyone...

Besides, my grandma always told me not to discuss politics or religion with anyone...LOL


Peace! :smokin:

PS I would like it if you stopped insinuating that I am "anti-American". I love America just as much as you do, and I am fully aware of the privileges and benefits that American citizens receive...I have lived in several other countries for brief and extended periods of time, so please don't assume I am so ignorant...b/c we all know what that does.

IamaPatient's claims of anti-Americanism get old, don't they? I've been accused by him of being that way several times, and nothing could be further from the truth. I love this country with all my heart.

He makes that claim, however, because it's easy. It's a fast-draw insult, and on his end, it feels like a great victory (in the fashion of a 3-year-old on a playground). The truth is that if he didn't always pull out his favorite simplistic taunts, he'd actually have to look at and think about what he himself and others are saying. I'm now firmly convinced that he's not capable of doing that.

Right on, Sister! :thumbsup: Just because you disagree with something or have a different idea about something doesn't mean you are "anti"-whatever...

Politically Iâ??m sort of a mixed bag of tricks. Iâ??m a registered Independent. I donâ??t think that any American owes any political party anythingâ?¦.THEY work for US.

Iâ??m rather conservative mixed with a little libertarian. Notice I didnâ??t say Republican. I voted for George Bush because I would have rather poked my own eyes out rather than vote for that despicable waste of skin John Kerry.

Bush could STOP illegal immigration if he wanted to. And he lost my respect as soon as he called the minute men vigilantes.

I just want a proud American leader who does whatâ??s right for America. Pandering to Vicente Fox is not what I had in mind.

Iamapatient is right about the fact that states and municipalities are largely at fault for abusing eminent domain.

However, the federal government pisses on states rights everyday so why not â??encourageâ?� them to do the right thing in this case. They have no problem chiming in and enforcing medical MJ laws on a federal level so why when it comes to eminent domain to they yell â??states rights, states rights, were not going to get involved.â?� They pick and choose what they want to get involved in.

Pisshead is also right. These rights are already protected. We donâ??t need an executive order saying â??we really mean it this time.â?� It just gives the appearance that their doing something. Iâ??m not impressed.

I donâ??t think all democrats are anti-americanâ?¦that is decided on a case by case basis. Itâ??s just a stereotype. Much like Republicans are stereotyped as being evil greedy bastardsâ?¦.like I said case by case basis. :twocents:

What sorta work do you do, Likemclever? I've wondered before. You express yourself well! (I apologize in advance for asking too personal a question if you feel this inquiry crosses the line.)

if bush is so keen on protecting landowners rights why did he take many peoples' land and give it to private contractors to build on?

Hey, darkside, in all fairness to our inept president, state and national has been doing this forever... Look at any population displacement project (dams, etc.) and you don't have to do much detective work to see government in bed with developers.

Iâ??m 31 and a full time student and single mom (I graduate in Decemberâ?¦yahoo me.)

Iâ??m heavily interested in communication theory (both with people and animals.) Communication also happens to be my major. I take special interest in nonverbal communications.

Here is a link to some of the more popular com theories (just to give you a sense of what Iâ??m talking about) http://www.mhhe.com/mayfieldpub/west...s/theories.htm

How about yourselfâ?¦â?¦youâ??re a writer of some sort are you not?

[birdgirl73]

Yahoo on that graduation indeed! That's great!

Yep, I'm an executive speechwriter and sort of all-purpose marketing communications person, but I'm about to finish the corporate phae of my life and return to school to study medicine, which is what i've always been more interested in all along. I'm scared but excited.
