New london after kelo Videos

+Octavian AugustusGovernment is not involved in Keystone? Are you kidding me? Tell that to TransCanada Corp., the private company that "filed eminent domain proceedings against an estimated 90 Nebraska landowners Tuesday to secure the right to build the controversial project across their property." Where did they file these proceedings...in a "private" court?//www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-keystone-land-2015-0120-story.htmlTell me again how a private company can steal the property of private landowners without the government's help. This should be good.

+Kizone Kaprow Most libertarians choose to use principles when they speak, write or act. The Keystone Pipeline is an undertaking by a private company...eminent domain is irrelevant.

+CHURINDOK But that dumb red lamp is a distraction from that awesome hair!

+SacrateaseAnd civil asset forfeiture.

+Campaign for Goldwater Miller '64 And so is zoning.

+watcherjohnny They already have. The only politician who is mentioned by name was John G Rowland (R), making it sound like it’s the Republicans who are trying to take land away from people to give to corporations. When she talks about the decision, she tells (5:28) it was a “close decision” and it united the country “no matter what your politics”, completely ignoring that it were only the conservative Justices who voted in favor of Kelo (O’Connor, Rehnquist, Thomas and Scalia), while the progressive Justices voted in favor of New London.

Cronyism. Government playing favorites & doing favors instead of being hands off.

+Jacob WallsBecause homesteaders in the west neededsomething to fuck.

+Bushrod Rust Johnson really? Just, "Socialism"? Let me ask you something, why was the Pony Express created?

+Jacob WallsSocialism.

+Bushrod Rust Johnson and why is that?

+Jacob Walls "mandatory public funding of elections"Fuck that.

+Larry Burke "Fascism v Freedom may sound nice to you but it has absolutely no meaning in this context."It's not fascism when the state takes your property to subsidize some favored industry?

+Larry Burke as good as it is unlikely....for now, I fell the tide changing at this rate

+CryofaxI could not have said it better myself.If we could get the money and the influence that buys out of government and go back to arguing about size and scope of govt that would be a seriously good turn of events.

+Larry Burke Big business isn't fighting government, it's BUYING government. So we get the worst of both worlds, huge intrusive government and anti competitive regulations. What we need it to get big money out of politics and reduce government to its intended minimal framework. And yes I understand what constitutes "minimal" is up for debate, but I'd rather be having that debate than worrying about every law being bought and paid for.

+Larry Burke​ good thing the younger generation doesn't get all their news from the media giants...the older generation got the wool pulled over its eyes since JFK and its to the entire country's detriment, too bad the Internet didn't exist then...

+Larry Burke mandatory public funding of elections, term limits and freezing assets while in government(like a managed-account system) would go a long way in helping that...

+Jacob WallsUntil it is no longer so easy to buy our politicians they will be sell outs and not much else matters.People of every political stripe should be against "corporatocracy", but it never gets much talk or traction.

+Larry Burke money in politics?

+heffayguapI agree. Big government is being bought by big business. Business will own your grandchildren and Libertarians should  wise up and realize what the largest threat to freedom is.

+TheAlexagius agreed

+Larry Burke Big Business v Big Government may sound nice to you but they aren't even fighting each other.

+Larry Burke The only reason this even exists is because government stole someone's property to give to a corporation, had the corporation either not asked for it or been denied this would not have occurred, it has EVERYTHING to do with this case.Freedom is actually having property rights, if we had freedom and property rights were respected then this could not occur. Oh and btw big business and big government aren't two forces fighting against each other, they are on the same side, like a husband and wife working together.

+TheAlexagius Fascism v Freedom may sound nice to you but it has absolutely no meaning in this context.

+Larry Burke not really, its the fight of fascism vs freedom, business using government for market gain is facism

Yes, thank you Kelly or Richard. The pronunciation is different in Connecticut.  I can't speak for all of the states. I thought about trying to write this song to the tune of Ewan MacColl's "Sweet Thames Flow Softly" to play off of the river theme.  But I thought my students would be too confused by the word "Tems" when the river they know rhymes with "flames."

Run down properties are lower in value for taxation by the city, so this many be the big reason behind these kinds of demotions. Citizens rise up against this tyranny. If community improvement is really the motive, then, at least, the gov't. should pay compensation for the property value, but even this is wrong.

Replying to Southernjuggalo63 This also applies to cutting your lawn ........i know of several cases where this happen , very good home stolen.

LOL DONT LET YOUR HOUSE FALL INTO THE CONDEMNED CATAGORY AND THEY WILL NOT TEAR IT DOWN ITS COMMON SENSE PEOPLE

@onemanwreckincrew What's it like being crazy? Is it all it's cracked up to be?
