By now I'm sure most of you have heard about the abhorrent June 23 Supreme Court ruling in "Kelo vs. City of New London", which expands eminent domain laws to allow the government to seize private property from one person and give it to another person, who can use it for anything and everything he pleases, if it will result in higher government revenues via taxes and stuff. This means that if someone wants to build a hotel, or a strip mall, or heck, even a strip club where your house is currently sitting, the City can condemn your home, boot you out, and hand the land over to the developer to do as he pleases. "Sorry, this porno club contributes more to the economy than your house does, you jackass," the City will say to you as it spits on your shoes, kicks you in the ass and laughs at you as you try to fit all five of your kids in a refrigerator box behind the bowling alley.
"This is terrible! Why did you say this is one of the greatest moments in American history, you twisted freak?" you may be asking. Keep reading, bub, I'm getting to that.
In a great ironic twist in the tale, Logan Darrow Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, aims to take advantage of this ruling to have 34 Cilley Hill Road in Weare, New Hampshire condemned to make way for a new hotel. What's so great about that, you ask? 34 Cilley Hill Road just happens to be Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter's home! That's right, one of the justices responsible for one of the greatest outrages in American History is about to fall victim to his own doings in one of the sweetest acts of protest to ever take place.
As if that's not enough, the proposed hotel is called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" and will include the "Just Desserts Cafe" and a museum highlighting the decline of American liberties.
I think this hotel is a fantastic idea, and if I had any money at all, I'd definitely invest in it. I hope it's a success, because the Court ruled 5-4 on this issue, and that means we need another four hotels built stat.
