Debbie Schlussel: Can't Say I Blame Her: The Kelo Christmas Card
Who can blame Susette Kelo for the Christmas card she sent out, this year?
On the front is a snowy photo of her home in New London, Connecticut--you know, the home that was forcibly taken from her by power-hungry, money-hungry politicians and developers using "eminent domain"; the home that was the subject of a U.S. Supreme Court case that obscenely ruled against her and the property rights that are a hallmark of America.
Inside is this message:
Here is my house that you did takeFrom me to you, this spell I make
Your houses, your homes
Your family, your friends
May they live in misery
That never ends.
I curse you all
May you rot in hell
To each of you
I send this spell
For the rest of your lives
I wish you ill
I send this now
By the power of will
Kelo sent the card to all those who took her home out from under her. Some would call that "Bah, Humbug." I call it, an extreme understatement of what the recipients really deserve.
Right on, Susette!
