Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing may be an attempt to create balanced living patterns. Rather than remove discrimination, AFFH leverages it to codify oppression
Local rule died in America on July 8, 2015. With it passes the rights of rural and suburban communities to decide their own futures. The trigger was the final 377-page ruling from HUD called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing[ia] that attempts to remove discrimination and achieve balanced and integrated living patterns.
As one blogger beams, What could possibly be wrong with helping low-income families to move into better neighborhoods? In this case, everything.
AFFH is reminiscent of the old cartoon character Elmer Fudd, who used his shotgun to abolish an annoying fly. He blew up furniture, broke windows and destroyed his home, while the fly happily buzzed away. Like Elmer, AFFH leaves a destructive wake and does little to solve the problem.
HUD is not legal federal government entity. It is illegal and only exists through tyranny.
Our federal government is a creation of the states. When this creation gets out of control, then the states have the right to abolish it or change it.
Besides the three branches of federal government that we are aware of, there exists a fourth branch which most people forget, it is the states. And actually, as mentioned above, this fourth branch has more power and authority than any of the other three combined.
It is time for the fourth branch to assume its proper authority, and alter or abolish the other three.
Yep, the same “tolerant” Northerners who pushed the idea that slaves weren’t people, leading to the “3/5” compromise.
The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate housing purposes. And even if the states had done so, the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats like those running HUD.
So corrupt Congress is once again hiding itself behind an unconstitutional federal regulatory agency, HUD established under the administration of Constitution-ignoring LBJ. Hiding behind a third party undoubtedly makes it easier for the legislative and executive branches to unconstitutionally expand the federal governments power while minimizing the risk of losing votes.
Also note that the only discriminatory-related rights that the states have amended the Constitution to specifically protect deal specifically with voting rights as evidenced by the 15th, 19th and 26th Amendments to the Constitution. So Congress actually has no constitutionally enumerated anti-discrimination amendments that deal specifically with intrastate housing that it can throw at the states via the 14th Amendment.
This is also another example where the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate failed to protect the states as the Founding States had intended for the Senate to do, in this case by not killing bills which helped to establish the vote-winning but unconstitutional HUD.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and Constitution-ignoring bureaucrats like those running HUD along with it.
More compliant than even now?
It wouldn’t have mattered, the election was stolen.
“HUD is not legal federal government entity. It is illegal and only exists through tyranny. Our federal government is a creation of the states. When this creation gets out of control, then the states have the right to abolish it or change it.”
The Republican House has controlled the purse strings of the government (per the Constitution) since January 2011. All appropriations must be approved by the House. The House can defund HUD. They don’t. They must approve.
OTOH HB is part of LA county, which must get lots of HUD money, so maybe that's the Obama regime's path into my neighborhood?
Then why must states have abortion?
Will not happen.
CW-II will probably be well underway by then.
Not hoping, but just thinking that folks will only take so much until they realize they don’t have to take it at all.
I’m not sure what this is about exactly....however I have pointed out before...there are some surprisingly expensive houses available at www.hudhomestore.com, so that part of it has been going on for years.
Now I did hear that HUD was going to offer money to municipalities to accept public housing projects. That’s not the same as requiring them to accept - they’re just using the people’s own money to bribe municipalities to accept public housing projects.
I know what you mean, but would also like to somewhat correct you on that whole 3/5 thing.
Think about it: If it wasn't for 3/5, and slaves counted for 5/5 (that is, ONE) then the institution of slavery would have been all that much more difficult to deal with in a political sense, as the South would have had even greater political representation.
I used to erroneously think 3/5 was entirely based on racial hatred--it wasn't. It was a practical method for limiting southern (slave state) political power. An ugly way, but better than 5/5. You and I wouldn't want 5/5, because--though it doesn't dehumanize--it ensconces slaveowner political power, entrenches it like an Alabama tick.
That said: GO CRUZ!!! Keep it up Trump! We need someone in the WH that can leverage our Senate/House majorities by sheer force of Bully Pulpit calling out - roaches hate to have light shined on them....
