    Since when does the UN own part of our beaches??

    Was just searching for a quiet get away and saw this information on AOL about a little known destination in Georgia:

    http://news.travel.aol.com/2010/05/19/s ... -the-us%2F

    Only 300 daily campers and visitors can access America's largest wilderness island, part of the National Seashore (and U.N. International Biosphere Reserve) at the state's southeastern tip. Fifty miles of hiking/biking trails meander past imposing 19th-century ruins through several distinct eco-systems: maritime forests, interior wetlands, freshwater lakes, marshes, tidal creeks, and beautiful thousand-foot-wide beaches where dolphins and manatees swim. You can also bob for bass, beach comb for shark's teeth and shells, or bird watch; indigenous wildlife runs the gamut from armadillos to alligators, as well as over 330 avian species from pelicans to peregrine falcons.

    Tip: There are several campgrounds or you can rough it in rustic-chic style at the grand Greyfield Inn, built in 1900 by the Carnegies as a family manse.


    These bastards have already sold us to the United Nation's. No wonder we are seeing British, Chinese and Russian troops creating bases in the United States.

    I am afraid if we looked under the trash heap we call congress, we would find all sorts of slimy little secrets. None of which bode well for freedom

    The US is all for sale...


    Call it a sign of desperate times: Legislators are considering selling the House and Senate buildings where they've conducted state business for more than 50 years.

    Dozens of other state properties also may be sold as the state government faces its worst financial crisis in a generation, if not ever. The plan isn't to liquidate state assets, though.

    Instead, officials hope to sell the properties and then lease them back over several years before assuming ownership again. The complex financial transaction would allow government services to continue without interruption while giving the state a fast infusion of as much as $735 million, according to Capitol projections.

    For investors, the arrangement means long-term lease payments from a stable source.

    Once any deals are approved, money could begin flowing into state coffers in as little as 90 days.

    The plan has bipartisan backing, but that doesn't make the prospect of paying rent for buildings once owned free and clear by taxpayers any easier to swallow.

    "We've mortgaged the legislative halls," said an exasperated state Rep. Steve Yarbrough, a Chandler Republican. "That just tells you how extraordinary the times are.

    "To me, it's something we're going to have to do no matter how much we find it undesirable."
