Tom Blumer at BizzyBlog was kind enough to send me links to several of his recent posts regarding the latest on the “legal” theft of property being perpetrated by the City Council of New London, Connecticut (with the five “compassionate/liberal” members of our Supreme Court serving as unashamed accomplices). Here are the links:

As you know if you’ve read this blog for any time, this writer considers the Kelo decision to be one of the most deplorable of my lifetime in its brazen assault on the basic right to own property. If you read these posts, you’ll learn that the issue is even deeper now than originally understood: the New London thieves are going to continue in their plan to steal the homeowners’ property even though they no longer “need” it.

This just defines the word “infuriating”. I certainly hope that some folks stand up and run against the thieves during the next Council election; if I lived there, I certainly would, with a one-plank platform: “Integrity, Not Thievery”. I further hope that some patriots will occupy the properties in question in a massive display of resistance to tyranny. All that is required for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

Sadly, Americans are likely too preoccupied with who is going to win the next American Idol or whatever became of Natalie Holloway to likely care about this travesty, fiddlin’ away their lives while America burns.

UPDATE: Republican Governor Jodi Rell is running for re-election this fall. Her website declares that she is dedicated to “doing what’s right for Connecticut”. What’s wrong for Connecticut, Madame Governor, is for your fair state to be known as the vanguard of eminent domain theft. You can step in, Governor Rell, and restore sanity to this situation; you have it in your power. Please act on behalf of the citizens of your state!
