I Used To Own A House

You and I no longer own homes. We occupy them. We pay the bank every month for the privilege of living there as long as the government wants to let us.

You still don’t get it. The Constitution explicitly says that they can take anything you own anytime they deem necessary. And even if it didn’t the fact that the Constitution was imposed on people who were not party to it implicitly asserts unlimited power over them from the beginning. This is no betrayal of the Constitution, this is the *flowering* of the Constitution.

OK, I’ve skimmed the rulings and read the dissents, and there are no two ways about it: this ruling sucks. Imagine that: the Supreme Court managed to get liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to agree on something.

Silly me, I noticed the increasing slippery slope into slavery…I just didn’t think it had a trap door.
Just think: First amendment: Nude dancing is free speech, but don’t critisize a congressman 60 days before an election. 4th Amendment: the TSA is searching everyone and the appraisal district owns your house. Second Amendment: We’re all felons.

About all that is left is quartering troops in our homes.

I’m not at all happy about this either, but I’m not sure it warrants Jon and John going a Durbin/Godwin on it, either.

What’s intriguing to me is that Kennedy — normally on the conservative end of the spectrum — ruled with the majority. I’d like to see his concurring opinion (summation here.)

Looks like it’s time to buy the WASR-10.

And something with looong reach and a scope.

I, for one, am done lubricating my ass for these nanny-state dickheads. Any candidate forum, any time I meet a politician, I am going to ask them what they’re doing about this. Motherfuckers.

Welcome to the Union of Socialist States of America — the U.S.S.A.

Weren’t we guaranteed “Life, Liberty, and Property” somewhere? Yet now we find ourselves with an anti-life, anti-liberty and now anti-property government.

This is sick. It’s OUTRAGEOUS. I’m just…nauseated. And absolutely furious.

Sickening. Depressing. Maddening.

When the National Socialists took over in Germany, they declared much property to be used at the discretion of the government.

Isn’t this the same thing?

We are no longer a nation that is governed by a Rule of law. It is a Rule of men and I am beginning to realize that it has probably been that way for a long time. They are just more brazen about it now.

Hope that old geezer kicks it before bush leaves office…

just caught this from blakes site, and was coming over here to see what you would say.

If this ever happens to me,….well I do not know what i would do.

Everyone I’m talking to is exploding over this! I haven’t seen this kind of emotion over a Supreme Court issue…well…ever!

People that don’t even care about politics are in on it as well!

You can just read some of the quotes I’ve posted from people I’ve talked to in the past few minutes over this…
