   "Boone"You see how right-wingers lie when they claim to be "libertarians" and want to "get the government off your backs". Well, here's as stark an example you're ever going to see of their real core idea, and it's nothing more or less than might makes right, the right of the stronger.
   Any Republican who says he's against eminent domain is lying plain and simple. They all feel precisely this way about it - if I'm stronger, and I'm in a position to use any kind of govt power such as eminent domain to bully the weaker and aggrandize myself, I'll go ahead and do it.
   
   If that's not true, why have I not heard a single Republican condemn this power play and disavow ole' Booney-boy as an apostate?
   And why is he doing this? He obviously doesn't need the money. Nor is Dallas in any particular water crisis. But none of that matters. I forget his exact quote, but when asked "Why?" his answer essentially boiled down to "Because it's doable and therefore should be done."
   
   He also threw in something about how "If I don't do it somebody else will", as if that in itself is any kind of answer to anything.
   But there you have the core of it - greed fundamentalists simply have no purpose in life but to destroy in order to add to their worthless treasure hoards. They are simply congenitally incapable of understanding any value other than destruction to inflate ego. They were born that way, they'll live their entire lives that way (they can't be "educated"), and as long as they exist they'll be a misfortune for the world and humanity, tornadoes of nightmare and destruction, and nowhere and no one will ever know peace.
   Probably the most repulsive thing about America is how it has been perverted and by now practically consecrated to empowering this demonic type.
   (Texas water law, which renders this pillage possible, is a perfect example. They of course don't adhere to riparian rights, or even the more savage prior appropriation. No, in Texas it truly is the law of the jungle, might makes right. No one has any right to the water other than insofar as he is strong (i.e. rich) enough to grab it.)
