I Hate Eminent domain

One of the abusive powers of government that I despise the most is eminent domain. Just writing the words makes my blood boil. Neal Boortz had a segment on his radio program this morning with Don Corace. Don Corace has written a book called "Government Pirates" which was published by Harper Collins and can also be found at amazon.com.

For anyone who enjoys property rights, I think this book may be a necessary read. I have just ordered my copy.

Could we be on the way to the restoration of individual rights in America?

God, I hope so. Once we get this whole 2nd amendment thing straightened out and we completely establish the individual right of law-abiding citizens to own firearms, next we should move onto the restoration of property rights and eliminate eminent domain.

One my favorite comics, Drew Carey, has some thoughts on eminent domain: "You know the great thing about America is once you own property - you own it," says Drew Carey in a new Reason.tv video examining eminent domain abuse. "You can do anything you want with that property. You can build a house on it, a business. You can plant flowers, grow daisies. Whatever you want to do with it, it's your property. You own it. And the only way somebody can take your property is if they steal it. Am I right? That's why the government invented eminent domain."

Think about it, the government has the power to uproot you from YOUR home and steal YOUR property for "the greater good." As Neal Boortz has said in the past, "The one thing government has which we (you or I or any corporation) DON'T have, is the ability to use deadly force to accomplish its goals."
