A 78 year old texas woman was arrested for trying to block bulldozers on her own land. Except, it isn't her land anymore. A federal judge ruled that the gov't could seize her land via eminent domain and sell/give it to TransCanada for the Keystone Pipeline.

WTF?? A private company can use the gov't to get land for the use of the private company and profit?? Is this what we have come to people???

well is not that a poke in the eye with a sharp stick

i think that the keystone pipeline is a juggernaut powered by the repugs

Big business has been using the eminent domain to grab land for years. It is the bought-and-paid-for politicians who made this possible. Throwing out the Liberal v. Conservative denial is what they want. That way they get to keep doing whatever the fuck they want to do to us.

and for the most part, I agree with you. the establishment elite prefer it that way, but it does not divest liberals of their responsibility in helping redefine 'public use' to 'public benefit'. It started in New York State during the 'new deal' era.

BDS sufferer? Can't you all at least come up with your own psychological characterization of us? Just because you changed the name of the President doesn't mean you can use it.

The rest of your post is equally delusional. Hey, why can't George Bush leave the country? I'm pretty sure President Obama is one of the most admired men in the world...not that he deserves all of it. I certainly didn't think he deserved the Nobel prize, but just NOT being Bush earned that man so many credits with the rest of the world. I recently saw a cartoon in a foreign language. It was a support group of evil; sitting around the room were Darth Vader, Hitler, Bin Laden, Bush, and Gargameth from the Smurfs.. The caption was Hitler talking saying "Hello, may name is Adolf....", everyone else was saying "Hello Adolf..."... The point being, Bush was in the group.

Sorry for the complete digression from the topic.

BDS has been in use for over a decade....have you been under a rock ?

And the rest of your post is irrelevant bullshit that has nothing to do with the Patriot Act or NDAA....typical replay when you've got nothing to say...

"to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition".....Know what that defines ?

and it will only get worse...all they have to do is promise jobs
