In what could be titled, "what is yours is really governments," today Washington State's judicial bias in favor of corrupt governmental land use actions gets exposed in the Wall Street Journal. One more time Washingtonians can stand with the deserved pride, or lack thereof actually, that they can't help but elect pro-government activists to their courts that are more than ready to uphold corrupt governmental acts. This time empowering local jurisdictions to steal private property so they can give it to private developers.
"It can't happen here" is what Washington's elected leaders alleged when Kelo was ruled on in 2005 But as is too often the norm in Washington, our leaders have this serious problem telling the truth.
Read this for yourself. It's a great story of the courts stealing rights from the people and giving them to government, of, by and for the special interests.

Most of the people who voted for these judges are not in any danger of having their land taken from them for some utopian urban village, that is, if they are even land owners at all. So why should they care? That's the liberal way.
Posted by: Palouse on January 12, 2007 10:13 AMThe importance of a fair and unbiased media is amplified by issues like this, where people are not being adequately informed, while on other issues favorable to Democrats they are inundated.
I'm listening to Rep. Dave Weldon (R) from Florida on CSPAN talking about embryonic stem cells and the deceptions perpetrated by the Democrats this week in alleging all kinds of things that can come from these cells. Weldon is a doctor himself, and talks about the 25 years of embryonic research that has resulted in zero benefits. How researchers have found that embryonic stem cells have been shown to cause tumors, and that stem cells from amniotic fluid can do all the things researchers hoped embryonic cells could do without the dangers of tumors or the destruction of a human life.
But just like the issue prior to the election, how many Americans will be educated on the fallacy of embryonic research and what is really driving the Democrats push of it - protection of abortion rights? Realities like this should be reported over and over until Americans are educated to the lies and deception used by the left. But should be expect the left to rat themselves out? Not with our liberal mainstream media molding perceptions.
This nation's downfall will not be from foreign powers, but from self-inflicted devastation made possible because of ignorant voters supporting policies based on deception and lies from the left and their allies in the media.
Posted by: MJC on January 12, 2007 01:09 PMI think this voting pattern here where property rights are not protected by the voters is selfishness. They are not going to be affected by onerous regulations and takings, and they don't mind who else is, as long as it's not them.
