05/09/01: Cheney: Your house belongs to Enron!

Posted By: convenor

Well, the energy "crisis" is causing the masks to come off in Washington:

"Dick" Cheney wants to extend the power of eminent domain to electrical companies so they can more easily condemn private property to make way for electrical power lines. Quotes from subservient "Libertarians" in the article are surprisingly tame, considering what they usually have to say (without foundation) about unspecified "liberals" or "environmentalists."

Hey Cato Institute and the rest of you, the target's right in front of you and has a name!! You didn't seem to be shy about calling a spade a spade in the past, but when it's a Republican, suddenly Libertarians get lockjaw and can't bear to speak badly about their financial sugar daddies.
