SENATE REPUBLICANS BLOCK LEE AMENDMENT, PRESERVE AFFH (Obama's Plan to Ghettoize Your Neighborhood)
PowerLine ^ | May 20, 2016 | Paul Mirengoff

The Lee Amendment to defund President Obama’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation failed in the Senate yesterday because not enough Republicans backed it. The Amendment was tabled by a vote of 60-37.

Jeremy Carl aptly describes this vote as a defeat for conservatism, community control, and common sense. It is a victory, as Carl says, for turning the federal government into a National Zoning board, forcing high density housing on unwilling cities and towns, and letting bureaucrats decide the racial, ethnic and income balance of local communities.

Move enough Rat voters into R voting communities to turn the community blue. And 16 stupid RINO senators fell for it.

It’s quite telling you ignore Lee’s outrageous Anti-Trump behavior to slavishly defend him.

I don't know how much more clear I can be about it but I don't worship Trump. I am a CONSERVATIVE. If Lee is saying CONSERVATIVE things and criticizing Trump for being liberal...then I agree with him in his criticism. In these circumstances, I am not ignoring his Anti-Trump behavior, I am applauding it.

Trump is not a deity. He is not a savior. He is a flawed man who will do and say flawed things. Good people will point out when he says and does these things. If Mike Lee or Ted Cruz say or do flawed things, I will criticize them too.

You need to take a step back and ask yourself..Are you supporting Trump or are you worshiping him?
