For years, liberal politicians have attempted to grow the power of government while quietly taking rights away from everyday Americans. In their latest power grab, residents in Colorado are now being told that they don’t even have the right to store rainwater that lands on their property.
That’s right. The same party that thinks that sex-change operations and taxpayer-funded abortions are fundamental rights thinks that water is not.
Their goal is simple. By stripping away fundamental resources and transferring them to the government, the Democratic party intends to make a populace so reliant on big government, that citizens have no choice but to submit themselves to its demands.
Of course, there is no law saying that storing rainwater is illegal — that would be absurd — but that hasn’t stopped Democrats in Colorado from claiming the water is theirs, anyway. The law, it seems, only matters when it benefits government. When it gets in the government’s way, it can simply be ignored.
See how the Republicans are fighting back against this ludicrous assertion on the next page:
In medieval times there was the “law of the Lord’s land”… that the king (or lord) owned all the land, the animals, the trees, water and even the people who were heavily taxed. The peasant was not permitted to hunt game, cut trees or use any of the resources of the land, as they belonged exclusively to the aristocracy. Harsh penalties (even death) awaited any peasant who dared violated this law, even in desperation. Such was the common people lived in great poverty, eking out a bare subsistence at best often dying of starvation and disease. The entire Democrat party and most of the GOPe now seem to favor the 21st Century version of this policy in dealing with us common folk (“peasants”). Note ALL these new “political Lords” HATE and fear Trump!
This is already the law in Oregon.
whoever runs this page must love fucking the same tired old chicken over and over
Two. LOL
And how many Republicans?
Found the Nazi
This posting brings to light an interesting fact of Colorado law and blames the Democrats. Actually the law repealing this rain barrel ban has been passed by the democratic controlled house. The democratic governor has promised to sign it into law. It’s the Republican controlled Senate that is dragging it’s feet and trying to load the bill up with sunset provisions and qualifications in an attempt to make it go away. A
Sigh. Let’s back up a step. The Democrats are IN FAVOR of a homeowner being able to store rain runoff from their own roof in a barrel. The Republicans believe the government should ensure that every drop of water that falls needs to run unimpeded into the nearest drainage system and then downstream to the person or corporation with the most senior water rights. So which party is hawking government intrusion into personal freedoms?
And besides, as of mid May, 2016, the Colorado governor signed a law allowing personal rain barrel collection…so this whole post is a farce, pretty much like everything else on Truth and Action.
Everything the government touches turns to$#%&!@*
Lie much there Truth and Action? In the first place it’s an old law, real old. Second it’s the Republicans (conservatives) that want to keep the law as it is. This is so the runoff will eventually flow to a stream and on down to the person or corporation that owns the water rights to the water in that stream/river The truth is that the Democrats (liberals) want to change the law so the landowner can catch and store rain that falls on his/her land. And the last thing, didn’t the Governor of Colorado just recently sign a bill allowing for homeowners to catch the runoff from their roofs and store it in rainbarrels?
