Live By The Sword

Die By The Sword

I’ve recently been ranting and raving about last week’s US Supreme Court ruling regarding the use of Eminent Domain laws to seize property from one private citizen and give it to another private citizen, for the reason of increasing the property tax digest of the local government.

I had thought about the poetic justice of seeing some of these councilmen and other city and county officials responsible for voting to steal someone’s property having their own homes taken away from them using the same laws.

Then I heard about this story while listening to Rush Limbaugh’s radio show after lunch today and it stopped me in my tracks.

I LOVE IT!

“On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of (US Supreme Court Justice David H.)Souter's home.

Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.

The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."

Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans.

"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development." ”

If Mr. Clements will provide an address, I will donate some money and I will offer to work for this project as an engineer or project manager for three months for free. I’ll do any thing else I can to personally see to the success of his project.

As my title says: “Live by the sword—die by the sword”
