HUD is coming to your suburban neighborhood.

 

As we sit comfortably in our homes, having dinner with our families, crime rates are going up all around us. That is to say that criminals are no longer relegated to the inner cities; they’ve evolved to suburbs and rural areas as they seek new and more vulnerable targets. The Biden Administration is fostering the decline of those outer areas by using the Housing and Urban Development agency to force suburbs to accept high-density affordable housing. For several decades, one of the major dreams of the middle class has been to own a home in the suburbs. Now, under the guise of prohibiting discrimination based on race, religion, gender, etc., Democrats have proposed regulations that would force any jurisdiction that accepts HUD funding to “promote equity in their communities, decrease segregation, and increase access to opportunity and community assets for people of color and other underserved communities.”

In other words, the left is saying that the route to upward mobility for disadvantaged minorities is dependent on their relocation to more affluent areas, where they will have access to more services. One wonders what services they’ll receive in a small town that they can’t get in a big city. By the way, could someone please tell me which communities in this country are segregated by race, or any other factor?  Furthermore, given how the left describes “equity,” we can be sure it means that every resident will demand to have the same level of affluence as their neighbors, whether they can afford it or not.

Once again, the left is preparing us for a socialist future in which no one is denied anything, their ability to pay for it notwithstanding. How long before those apartment dwellers, next door to your split-level home, start demanding that you allow them to use your pool because their edifice lacks one? After all, why would your family of 4 deny those scores of residents a chance to cool off on hot summer days? How dare you deprive people of the things you and your family enjoy! Could it be that you don’t like some races, nationalities, or genders? Are you a greedy bigot? This is the mindset being promoted by the radical left in an attempt to discourage and destroy the middle class.  

The fact that segregation in housing ended about a half-century ago doesn’t mean the word is not still a valuable tool to further divide the country. The fact that you’d be hard pressed to find a neighborhood in the country that is not fully integrated means nothing to those who achieve power by keeping us divided. Through incompetence and radical policies, the left destroyed the inner cities. Now they plan to export their ineptitude to areas that have been diligent in creating safe and comfortable environments in which to raise families. Evidently, they concur with the adage “misery loves company.” Moreover, anyone who disagrees with this social engineering scam will quickly be labeled with some sort of “ism” or “phobe.” If some of those who disagree are minorities residing in the suburbs, they will be pilloried as “white supremacists,” despite the dark pigment of their skin. 

What HUD and its liberal administrators will never acknowledge is that upward mobility is based on sensible, constructive life decisions made at the family level, including marriage, employment, and budget planning. In order to succeed in the free market of ideas and choices, one must construct the building blocks of his/her future to achieve the necessary economic gains. Just ask all those ambitious African-American residents of suburbia who have worked hard, played by the rules, and saved for a down payment on that dream home. Do you think they want a 10-story, low-income apartment building hovering over their 2-story colonial, featuring a well-manicured lawn and a cabana next to their kidney-shaped pool?

Well, in the bizarre world of leftwing dogma, they’d be called Oreos, black on the outside, white inside. However, in the real world they are merely decent people who recognize the value of living in a country where one can achieve anything through hard work and prudent decisions. The dictionary is the only place in which “success” comes before “work.”

Are we losing our country?

 

I never thought I'd have to face the prospect of witnessing the decline and fall of the United States, the greatest country in the history of the world. I've always felt grateful for having been born in this marvelous nation. Yet, today, as I woke up and was having my morning coffee, I began to realize that things are changing quickly, and the changes are corroding us from the inside. Regardless of how I vote, or whether I vote, it seems as if it doesn’t matter because something evil has invaded this great land, and our lives are never going to be the same.

I've been confused by the hostility coming from family and friends. I look at people I've known for years, who have become so hateful that they will agree with opinions they would never have expressed as their own. The indoctrination from the mainstream media has done a thorough job of implanting a sinister poison into the consciousness of a growing segment of the population that once would have immediately rejected the absurdity coming from the left and deemed it to be ludicrous on its face. Instead, it's like our planet has tilted on its axis and scrambled the innate common sense that once allowed us to think clearly.

We've become a nation that has lost its collective mind. We’re urged to abandon reason and reject cultural norms, choosing instead, an accommodation to an assortment of freakish behaviors, which, during a saner time in our history would have required psychological counseling, rather than fawning acquiescence. The more we cater to the idiosyncrasies from that tiny fraction of society, the more likely it is that it will get progressively more repugnant. You can't justify this insanity. If a guy pretends to be a woman, you're required to pretend with him. If you say it’s impossible for a man to get pregnant and have children, you’re attacked as a “transphobe.” A woman running for the Supreme Court can’t define what a woman is. If a man walks into a room wearing a dress, high heels and panty hose, while sporting a beard and goatee, and you address him as “Sir,” you might be vilified for “misgendering.”

Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections is good. It was okay for Biden to blackmail the President of Ukraine, but it's an impeachable offense if Trump inquires about it. Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but 18 is old enough to vote. People who never owned slaves should pay reparations to people who have never been slaves. People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out steep loans for their degrees. Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you'd better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated. Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go to a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome. Five billion dollars for border security is too expensive, but 1.5 trillion for free healthcare is not. If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country, you go to college for free. 

People who say there's no such thing as gender are demanding we elect a female president. We see other countries going socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to some of us. Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for things they're doing now. Criminals are caught and released to hurt more people but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of their rights. And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us racists. Nothing makes sense anymore. No values, no morals, and no civility. People died from a Chinese virus, but it's racist to refer to it as Chinese, even though it began in China. We're clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong, and wrong is right, where moral is immoral, and immoral is moral, where good is evil, and evil is good; where killing murderers is wrong, but killing unborn babies is okay. 

Wake up America! That great unsinkable ship, Titanic America, has hit an iceberg. It’s taking on water, and it’s sinking fast.
