The definitions given for rape in the 1832 Webster’s Dictionary are thusly:  In a general sense, a seizing by violence; also, a seizing and carrying away by force, as females; Privation; the act of seizing or taking away;  something taken or seized and carried away. These are words that anyone can understand, and that they mean the taking of something that doesn’t belong to the taker in any sense of ownership, and which effectively denies the rightful owner the use of the property as he or she sees fit, are very clear. In other words, the 5 ignorant justices of the Supreme Court and the officials of any city who use the law of eminent domain to wrongfully take property are guilty of rape, a despicable act that would be called a crime if it weren’t for the fact that the five no account judges ruled such behavior legal.

But were the justices ignorant in this matter which allowed the twisted logic that came forth in the ruling? In a word, the answer is no. They knew exactly what they were doing, and if the history of court cases is studied, it is easy to see the march toward the denial of rights and liberties as guaranteed by the Constitution with the substitution for those rights being more government power and God being shoved to the side to help install a godless form of government that isn’t answerable to anyone but themselves.

It is interesting to note that the ruling goes hand in hand with the rulings that deny God and his rightful place in the history and operation of the nation. When God is taken away then the moral principles that guide men and women are effectively removed allowing man to substitute his wisdom for that of God’s. In a few words, anything that man can dream up can then be done without a twinge of conscience to inhibit the behavior. No conscience also means there is no guilt to worry about either.

Commentator after commentator has pointed out, as did four dissenting justices, that the door is open for all kinds of excesses and chicanery in property deals. The fact clearly in evidence through history is that the right to own and use property is the cornerstone of the foundation of all the liberties we enjoy in this nation. Property ownership gives a freedom that renters never can enjoy, as way of an example. The renter must abide by the dictates of the landlord from whom he must receive permission to alter the property or who, in many cases, can move the renter out on a moments notice. The Supreme Court has opened the door to others to take over the property and begin removal of the rightful owner with the ruling in what could be termed “let’s make a deal.” And if the owner resists the taking it is not far fetched to say that they will be removed at gun point and arrested on some trumped up charge.

Paul told Timothy that “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” I Timothy 6:10. Whether those who made the ruling or those who will benefit are believers isn’t the issue, (even though their beliefs can be considered suspect). The point here is that money is the root of the evil and the evil is the taking of property for the benefit of developers and tax money for the government. James Madison said, "A just security to property is not afforded by that government, under which unequal taxes oppress one species of property and reward another species." The ruling is oppressive and is confiscation for the benefit of others, the ultimate taxation and redistribution of property (federal income tax included).  It is but one more step toward the government claiming ownership of all property so it can be taken for the common good. And as the confiscation of property gains speed, our liberties continue to erode with each take over.

Nikita Khrushchev banged his shoe on the lectern in the United Nations years ago and said, “We will bury you.” Whether he meant it in literal sense or economically, he would be proud to see the property ruling. That ruling is helping dig the hole for all property owners and the government is all too willing to be the shovel that covers the property owners with dirt.

The ruling makes one think the heads of the five despots who made the ruling are empty except that nothing ever takes place in a vacuum. They have had a motive and intent for a long time to change this nation to a form of government that gives them unbridled power to do as they choose with no recriminations. While the ruling is rape of the property owner’s rights, there is yet another rape that it will bring to our land in full force. Its name is Communism, the supreme rape of all.
