Not quite yet, but they are feverishly working to destroy American heritage, culture and language.

Liberals loathe these four words: Make America Great Again.

Trump can’t be elected soon enough.

Agree. If Trump becomes president, you can be sure these politicians will work to undermine him. Vote them all out in November!

In the TV series The Wire, a common theme over five seasons was moving to “the county”

Few did because they simply couldn’t summon the resources and gumption to develop the resources

The law is in effect a lifting of a quarantine and spreading of the plague

Those would be largely my core list of pieces of crap, right there. Not that there aren’t 3x that number on closer examination. But those are just about the stenchiest.

I think they meant 5th Amendment, the taking of property requires just compensation, and the taking can only be for a public use.

Trump’s daddy, Fred Trump, made his fortune building subsidized housing.

These #*@! Agent’ of Baron Barrock need to remember that we,re Americans, we have a Constitution, it stipulates that Baron Barrock can't do that. Ask King George of England what our response was when he tried acting like that to Americans. Didn't end well for his men in Redcoats.

Now, the feds have jumped in and said any background check is discriminatory.

Well, there's a rock for a hard place! One of the (many) reasons I don't rent anyplace to residential tenants is that there are laws providing for the confiscation of rental property if drug dealers are the tenants. In other words if I rent to someone who is arrested on drug charges, I could lose the property. But I shouldn't do a criminal check on a prospective tenant because, what? Their privacy? Their dignity?
So I the landlord would have to risk either punishment for my crime (discrimination) or the tenant's crime (drugs).

You nailed it. And in doing so, echoed Russell Kirk’s definition of liberals versus conservatives. A conservative, he said, favors liberty over equality.

This is exactly why I refused to provide anything other than the number of people living in my house and their ages during the last census.

They visited my house at least a dozen times to ask the rest of the questions on their list, and the “local chairman” left me countless messages threatening to “escalate” this issue if necessary.

They eventually gave up. I never gave in because I instinctively knew it could never be to my benefit to share information about my race or income level.

That does make a bit more sense, but still a stretch. Hardly anyone today would argue that zoning law (before AFH or after) violates the Fifth.

I have a very low regard for zoning law, but just saying, it's hopeless to argue it.

The first thing at the top of the expenditure page should be scary enough: “Office of Community Planning and Development”. Why do the feds need an office for this? Yeah, I know. Wait until the next invasive census. Only you and Momma living in an “overly large house”? Hmmm. Despite the fact the you may have worked hard to get where you are, in order to be fair, you may have the opportunity to “share” your place with those less fortunate. Cost to them? ZERO! Cost to you for non-compliance? You might become a victim and end up homeless. ‘Just-us’ my butt. Name rank and serial #.

No, the Fourth Amendment reinforces the principle that a citizen should be secure in his home against unreasonable seizure. If the government can control the party to whom you make a home sale, they have effectively seized control of your property.

I believe that’s the pivot on which the article turns. The author could have done a better job of laying that out, for sure.
