Private Property Not Fundamental In Garden City

Over the last few days there have been several radio commercials promoting a bill in Kansas that will defend Private Property Rights. I have found this very encouraging. I am amazed at how fast a man's blood will boil when he discovers a government taking property illegally.

This morning on Argi-Talk radio AM 1030, I was shocked to hear that the municipality of Garden City, KS sent a letter to the Kansas legislature asking them to "preserve their right" of eminent domain for "economic development". The three guests were just a little hot under the collar discussing a city that thought it had some Constitutional Right to take one person's property and give it to another for "economic purposes".

The Framer's of the U.S. Constitution knew Private Property Rights were absolutely fundamental in order to maintain a free republic. These truths are self evident. If they are denied, then so goes this great republic. This is the problem of embracing secularism. Secularism cannot defend itself against the cultic mind and tyranny of Islam, nor can it remain friendly to the Constitution.

Christianity must be the worldview of our governments. For only with Historic Protestant Christianity will true freedom reign in this great land.
