Will you continue to back Bush when the goverment comes to take your home to line the pockets of the energy industry? Or will you freely give up your land for the good of the economy like we are expected to give up our public lands? Perhaps we won’t be so inclined to agree with the new energy policy if the cost starts hitting a little closer to home.
Eminent Domain
Incarceration for minor traffic infractions
Tort Reform
Roll-back of Roe v. Wade
More stringent bankruptcy laws
shall I go on…
This is the agenda of the conservative party that claims government should be less intrusive. I think a few folks have been sold a pretty good bill of goods. Anybody ready to ask for their money back yet?

Ha! I hate to say we told you so, but we told you so! Just wait till you see what they do with asset forfeiture!
Shouldn’t this be over in MPSIMS, Needs? What’s the debate? State and local governments have long had the power to take property to build power lines. And you know perfectly well that nobody “freely” gives up their land under eminent domain laws–there’s this little thing in the Constitution about “just compensation.”
Incarceration for minor traffic infractions is Bush’s fault because . . . ?
“Tort reform” is entirely a subject for state legislatures and courts. It has zero chance of becoming a federal issue.
Roe v. Wade rollback? Wow, I must have missed it when that happened. Damn liberal media, always refusing to report the facts.
More stringent bankruptcy laws? Like you have a god-given right to skip out on your credit card bill?
Tell ya what, Needs. Why don’t you just cut out a photo of the president so you can point at Dubya and yell “The sky is falling!” over an over again in the privacy of your own home, thereby sparing us the broken record impersonation.

Locking this as duplicate. If you want to debate eminent domain, go to the other thread".
