So, this is something you would not fight for? Just let the government take your property to give to another? How indoctrinated are you?

Revolution is a necessary part of maintaining our rights as American citizens. I mean that.

The reason we have the right to bear arms is to defend ourselves against the government, not individuals.

Exactly. The Second Amendment ain't about duck hunting.

Take my property? Try pay me for my property, instead. Nobody's taking property without compensation. You're confused.

When I bought my hope, such things were part of my decision of which home to buy. The location I chose is simply not going to be on the list of any property that anyone will be interested in, except as single family residences.

This talk of revolution over this issue is just plain stupid. It's not going to happen. Most people will never be affected by an eminent domain proceeding. How, then, are you proposing to get those people to join you?

As I said earlier, the place to prevent eminent domain proceedings is locally. Make it an issue locally. Revolution is not in play here, and calls for it are poorly considered.
