Globalism’s Long Arm

As a died in the wool Texian, this article by Phyllis Schlafly really got my blood to boiling. Then….when I Googled Trans-Texas-Corridor, I ’bout lost it. Whether or not all of this comes to pass is another matter. It looks as if there is some pretty strong opposition to the whole thing.
The thing that really bothers me about the whole affair is the imminent domain proceedings that would have to take place. From what I can decipher, it looks as if over 1/2 million acres of private property would be confiscated…Thank you Kelo.
Central to this plan is a massive taking of 584,000 acres of farm and ranch land at an estimated cost of $11 billion to $30 billion - property then lost from the tax rolls of counties and school districts. After the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London, Conn., no one need wonder about the power of eminent domain to take private property.
Read the whole article…then Google Trans-Texas-Corridor and kinda poke around. It’s truly amazing.
