Because we have a free market. Do you really want the government to tell you WHO you can sell your property to? I'll sell my property to whoever I want to.
Everybody around here loves to throw out the word patriot. Let's think about how the REAL patriots thought about the right to property.
Property: The Foundation of All Rights
It is no accident that a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to justice for all protects property rights. Property is the foundation of every right we have, including the right to be free. Every right claim, after all, is a claim to some thing — either a defensive claim to keep what one is holding or an offensive claim to something someone else is holding. John Locke, the philosophical father of the American Revolution and the inspiration for Thomas Jefferson when he drafted the Declaration of Independence, stated the issue simply: “Lives, Liberties, and Estates, which I call by the general Name, Property.” And James Madison, the principal author of the Constitution, echoed those thoughts when he wrote, “as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.”
Much moral and legal confusion would be avoided if we understood that all of our rights — all of the things to which we are “entitled” — can be reduced to property. That would enable us to separate genuine rights — things to which we hold title — from specious “rights” — things to which other people hold title, which we may want for ourselves. It was the genius of the old common law, grounded in reason and custom, that it grasped that point. And the common law judges understood a pair of corollaries as well: property, broadly conceived, separates one individual from another; and individuals are independent or free to the extent that they have sole or exclusive dominion over what they hold. Indeed, Americans go to work every day to acquire property just so they can be independent.
Music washes away the dust of everyday life Some people wait a lifetime to meet their favorite hunting and shooting buddy. Mine calls me dad
I don’t like to see “the Chinese” (however we identify that entity) buying up US farmland. On the other hand, I tend to associate laws restricting who may own property or run businesses with some of the third world schitholes I’ve seen (that also restrict such things as firearms ownership and where the police are known to set up what amount to “tollbooths” on public highways in the name of crime fighting.)
This situation also begs the question, “Why aren’t Americans buying these properties?”
I think this is an issue that requires some attention and publicity.
It would seem there would be no issue if the letter agencies actually hunted down and spied on the actual enemies instead of true Americans. There was a time when queers and commies hid under rocks . Kenneth
There is no legal avenue to sell your real estate to a dog, or a tree. The same should apply to chinks and communists.
I know you define Liberty as the ability to sell rope to the people who would hang you. I advocate saving you, and by extension your people and your country, from your own greed.
It is debatable, but my view is that it doesn't apply to communists either, regardless of where they were born.
You dumb fug. The constitution applys to the citizen that wants to sell THEIR property to whoever THEY want to. Damn you're slow
So can a private citizen use there 1/4 acre suburban lot as a nuclear waste site or pump chemicals at will into there section of a river? Obviously not. Banning foreign countries, especially one that is communist and as hostile to ours as what China is from owning our land should be a given. We should never have allowed Nixon to reopen trade with them either.
Because we have a free market. Do you really want the government to tell you WHO you can sell your property to? I'll sell my property to whoever I want to.
The government doesn't allow certain things to be sold to hostile countries. Why should this be any different?
Colossians 3:17 (New King James Version) "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
Sure, let them start nationalizing anything held by a citizen of another nation. It worked well for Cuba didn't it? 70 years later, Cuba is still the same schitthole it was in 1963.
Next they will seize our farmlands in the interest of national "Food Security". Then it will be the "mansions" of the wealthy, so they can give them to the "party elites". Eventually, it will be rental units and apartment buildings, all in the name of "rent equalization. Finally they will be seizing all of our "over funded" 401K accounts. to be redistributed among those who either worked and failed to save, or never worked at all.
Any American should have the right to sell to the highest bidder.
It is much like the 1'st amendment. Since the mid 50s, the commies have used their right of free speech to destroy what America was.
Had we abrogated Freedom of Speech, America would have been destroyed even faster.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
I suppose if Chinese ownership of American property becomes a real concern, we can just round up every slanted eyed individual in the nation and toss them in a concentration camp, then seize all of their assets.
"We" have done it in the past.
Sarcasm off
