Eminent Domian: My Favorite News Article Ever

http://www.freestarmedia.com/hotellostliberty2.html

w00t

It's good to know we aren't all pansys, that there are still some freedom fighters left out there.

Comments?

I love it. That is just perfect.

Good to know the media still remembers the meaning of irony.

Yes, I know it's a press release and not a news story

but I stand by calling it a news story, as this certainly is newsworthy

Karma Kometh Kwickly!

Hahahaha Ah... Ha ha ha ha ha... *** holds stomach, wipes a tear*** Ha ha ha ha ha


I hope to be the first to rent a room in the new hotel and I would not miss touring the museum.

It's been my sig for hours!

New Hampshire, here we come.

as soon as that hotel opens, which it probably will, we need to make an official-unofficial SL gathering/convention. if anyone knows how to rally around property rights, it's a bunch of SLers! LOL...

oh, the drunken hootinanies that will ensue...

This Supreme Court decision absolutely shocked me. And the 4 dissenting judges, apparently.

It's like... all those movies where big corporations are trying to force out small people from an area to develop it ... coming true!

And private housing is the minor part of it! With this ruling, large businesses can essentially kick out small businesses.

Gee, I'm sure it's REAL hard to buy out some of these local planning board officials, who are elected in elections where like 2% of the population shows up to vote ... =(

Let us know if they go public. I want a piece of this action in my portfolio.

I have to say that is truely a classic. It will be interesting to see if they actually follow through with this and how a vote would turn out.

I'm hoping that this actually happens, not only to Justice Souter, but to all the Supreme Court justices that supported the stripping of land ownership rights from 'the little guys'.

America was founded on the premise that the government should not be too large that the constituents could not take it back. I see this action as taking a small chunk back, and just maybe those in power will consider the consequences of their actions for the sake of all of us.

Who is John Galt, indeed.

I heard about this on..(sorry, I was in the boss's car)...Sean Hannity. Friggin' brilliant!

I thought of something regarding the new E.D. ruling:

Say your municipality is now trying to take your land for another private individual citing more revenue for the town...etc. How about hiring a lawyer, a land appraiser, and an expert on business growth in your area...and fight it out? Hire the appraiser and the business expert to located every other property in your area that could possibly earn even a penny more a year annually in tax revenue than yours, should the future private interest select that property over your own. Have the lawyer file a suit in your local court citing unequal treatment..there you have it (Why would they still want your land if you have provided better alternatives? They must be specifically coming after you, a poor little landowner!) If the whole onus is taxes, and you provide "another" place that would garner even more taxes...like say, the local private golf club, properties in the "exclusive" sections of town, beside City Hall, or any local elected official's residence. The more the merrier, because the municipality's lawyers will have to investigate all of them (something that could tie up litigation for a bit)...Now that the case isn't simply a municipality trying to gain more income using E.D., and has become a case of unequal protection again; you may even see different inroads to the higher courts in your state due to the "unique" nature of your claim. You won't be arguing that what the city is doing is wrong per se, you will be "helping" them make a better decision on where the most tax profit will gained...like if they chose to develop over the Mayor's house.

I dont think I have ever seen such agreement on these forums on any issue.

So I'm going to up the ante a bit. I think those of us who believe in this project ought to help the town of Weare, New Hampshire realize the economic boon this Hotel will bring.

I am looking into finding the name and mailing address or fax numbers for the 5 town selectmen. See, I have never ever had any reason to want to visit New Hampshire. Well, now I have some tourism dollars to spend and would love to spend them in Weare, New Hampshire, as some of you also do.

If I am success in locating the contact info, I will post it here so we may all lobby the 5 selectman and let them know how much our tourism dollars will mean to Weare, if only we have the appropriate place to stay.

Special Thanks to the Late John Lennon

Write these folks and STRESS how much tourism money you will bring into Weare, NH if and ONLY IF there is a suitable Hotel with lessons on freedom for us all to learn from and enjoy. Lobby for their approval vote on the Eminent Domain proceedings of Logan Darrow Clements

His hotel will surely bring in more tax Revenue then the $2,895 that Mr Souters property is currently bringing in, what with bed tax, sales tax, and tourism dollars into the entire community. He will also add to the local economy by providing employment opportunities in the area as well, along with the economic benefits associated with new job creation.

Good luck, I hope you all take the few minutes needed to help preserve personal land rights for us all, and show the Judiciary that just because they have a lifetime appointment DOES NOT mean that they are above the people they serve and they ARE NOT immune to the consequences of the decisions that they impose upon others.

If you live outside the United States, please join with us and and write that you would gladly visit Weare, New Hampshire to spend your holiday if and ONLY IF there was a suitable location where you could stay that stress the ideals of what the true American Spirit is, specifically personal property rights.

My fellow countryman, it's not often we get a chance to show these lawmakers what the consequences of thier ill advised rulings are. This is a rare opportunity to strike back at thos who place themselves above the law and common people. Our forefathers never intended this, and I have never in my lifetime seen a more appropriate reminder to them of thier obligations as citizens, not "royalty."

Thank You =)

I also heard about this the other day on Sean Hannety... lol... that brilliant... and too perfect for words. Take the son of a guns house I say... let him live under the same friggin rules that the rest of us will have to adhere to.

Are you sure it's a victory, or was he hoping to move to an armed compound anyways and nobody wanted to pay fair market value for his NH mansion?

/b-b-b-bump

Ahhh the hand of karmic justice is juicy sweet. Even if it doesn't work it is yummy that someone is pulling down the sheets so that the ole bastard can sleep in the bed he helped make.

instead of starting a new thread, i figured it made sense to go the necro route here..

Group Seeks Souter Eviction As Protest!!
Group Descending on Justice Souter's N.H. Hometown in Eminent Domain Protest

they're actually going forward with this!! i hope they can win this battle for civil justice, the raping of personal homes and history is completely unamerican in practice and should be completely and permanently halted.

there may be some cases where eminent domain makes sense and doesn't tread all over the backs of those who suffer from this political machine, but as it stands it is too broad an ability granted to the powers that be.. who just happen to be the ones who benefit from it at the same time. always a dangerous mix.

anyhoo.. the full story.

Beautiful.

Wahahaha! ::Wipes away tear::
