One thing the communists must do in this country to further their agenda is destroy property rights. They must also disarm us and turn the justice system upside down. How are they doing so far?

"...they received a letter in December from City Hall that...was not specific and contained confusing language,"

Why do reporters INSIST on being redundant?

On the other hand....

The house my now ex-wife and I rented when we first arrived here in Tennessee had a creek running through it - ok, not much of a creek, more like a wet ditch. Anyways, it was on the property, that we rented, but was marked as part of the TVA floodplain. As such, I didn't have to mow it, which was a good thing, because it was marshland down there, and my riding mower wouldn't float.

The fact that I didn't mow it cheesed off my neighbor (a living, breathing, absolutely annoying Ned Flanders in the flesh) to no end. He'd come over and tell me "You have to mow it!" And I'd point out that it was posted as TVA flood plain property and according to TVA, I couldn't touch it. Even had a letter from them saying that it was TVA's responsibility.

So, one day, old Neddy takes it upon himself to mow it - after all - he's pointed out to me that's much better educated with his PhD and all - so he gets his very expensive John Deere out there in the flood plain - and guess what? It doesn't float either. In fact, it sinks in up over the deck.

The best part was a TVA inspector showed up while he's trying to pull it out of the marsh with his truck and gives him a warning about attempting to mess with TVA property.

But this case is ridiculous.

Trimming overgrowth in Norfolk could be dangerous. No way to tell what could be hiding in it what with all the AWOL terrorists without visas that the INS lets off the ships.

Keep you yard clean, like this couple did, and you're breaking the law.

Keep you yard filthy, and you're breaking the law.

Everyone is a criminal, under their tyrannical and illegitimate system. Those who seek Freedom and the exercise of their Rights, or those who make a mini-dictator angry, are subject to the arbitrary abuse of these unconstitutional laws.

The cancer of totalitarianism has spread to nearly every level in this country, and it may be too late to cut it out.

Most people don't realize the road to socialism/communism that FDR, his Supremes and the NY Slimes started us on in 1933. Thanks for the history lesson!

They've been pretty successful.

But don't worry... we have a Republican in the White House. Everything will be okay /sarcasm

It all started with FDR, although some of the seeds were planted by Wilson with his "League of Nations"....

FDR knowingly had hundreds of communists working for him, and he did nothing to root them out.

My Grandfather who hated FDR, often said if it hadn't been for WWII, we would have been more communist that Russia and more Socialist/Fascist than Germany and Italy in the 1930's and 1940's.

Like me, he had a hard time of desribing this new socialist/communist beast that America was becoming. So I just lump them all to gether and call them left wing maggots who hate our constitution, America and Americans.

We are fortunate, indeed. Whether everything will be okay is debateable as you note, but the decline is at least slowed for the time being. Remember that Mr. Clinton's goal was to accelerate the process of societal evolution. Mr. Clinton is a moderate Democrat, not to be confused with Mrs. Clinton, who would not merely accelerate societal evolution, but give it a rocket boost off the end of the pier.

If the Enemy prevails here, the evil beast will be worse than any the world has ever seen before.

"Maggots" is an excellent description. I also think they are vampires, because they suck out life, property, Freedom, and blood.

The general term I use for them is "domestic enemies of the Constitution".

Maggots, leeches and Vampires are excellent words to describe them.

Regardless, they all have banded together to work 24/7 to weaken this country from within and to take away our rights to enable their destruction of our country!

This is why your domestic enemies term is so good with or without the constitution added to it. Either way it fits.

Have a great weekend. I'm going off the board to be Grand Father and Father in Law for most of the weekend. Tough duty but someone has to do it!:)

If you like that go to Kalifornia - it happened there about 4 years ago.

Yeah, but this dribble was apparently accepted as evidence. Man, what a sad day.
