If there ever was a time to let Bush stack the Supreme Court (eminent domain) it's NOW! The scariest thing about this story is that most people have no idea what it implies. Private land ownership is the cornerstone of any free society, and it has just been taken away from ours. Yet around the water cooler, locker rooms and restaurants of America, you hear nothing. The rug has been pulled out from underneath everyone without anyone really noticing. We are all too wrapped up in the microcosms of our own lives to care about anything until it actually happens to us.
Unbelievable. I suddenly remember why I am a gun owner.


"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

-Thomas Jefferson
