Florida city considers eminent domain
Florida's Riviera Beach is a poor, predominantly black, coastal community that intends to revitalize its economy by using eminent domain, if necessary, to displace about 6,000 local residents and build a billion-dollar waterfront yachting and housing complex.

The Democrats racism shines through yet again. How anyone with a brain can vote for a modern Democrat is beyond me.

I'm a Libertarian. My parents are Republicans. To say something like that, you, sir, are an idiot.

I agree (and am a Libertarian, too). Republicans would use the eminent domain laws to seize lands when in their interest as well, as is being done in Illinois (Repub governor) to seize lands for a 3rd Chicago airport. The farm lands they are seizing from folks are those held for generations by good fellow red-state Americans who will not sell for "assessed" value. The lands will provide the state and local economy probably billions in revenuye and be a boon for the area -- so why don't they buy these folks out at what they are asking? Simple. Because they don't have to when the govt can just point a gun at them and say "take our offer or go to jail". Use the eminent domain laws to steal the lands at "assessed" values and boot those farmers on their asses.

At no point did I say anything about Republicans. I KNOW they would do the same thing. Apparently reading things that are not there is a skill many on this forum have, too bad they make themselves look stupid using the skill.
