Live In A Nice Neighborhood? The U.S. House Just TEMPORARILY Stopped Obama From 'Fundamentally Transforming' That

The U.S. House has just stopped President Barack Obama from implementing a plan which would result in forcing more affluent neighborhoods to accept low-income and high-density housing.  The House has voted 229-193 for a measure which would stop the Department of Housing and Urban Development from implementing the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation.  The Daily Caller has more:

The Senate has yet to take up the measure.

I think I've finally figured it out.  The "Affordable" Care Act was in fact a massive cost-shifting from the shoulders of the insurance companies (and therefore their stockholders and owners) and illegal immigrants (prospective Democrats?  Yah think?) onto any individual citizens able to withstand any cost whatsoever.  In addition, it also comprised, as has been stated before, a massive federal power grab from the States and power grab from and intrusion into the lives of private citizens.  Remember back to before the Act took effect.  Yes, it's true; our health care insurance and delivery systems were both a hodgepodge.  Yet, with any degree of brains and initiative, at least most of those under the federal poverty line were able to obtain affordable health care.  This was through both cost-shifting by hospitals (which, yes, indirectly cost consumers money but the cost was directly borne by insurance companies) and free prescription programs offered by pharmaceutical companies (in my opinion to avoid precisely the type of massive federal intervention which later took place and possibly to offset massive profits for income tax, political and public relations purposes) as well as discount programs offered by retailers and through medical discount cards.  Now, there is a legal mandate that everyone sign up through either a government agency or contractor (outside of a few well-designed loopholes which in my opinion were put there specifically to get this monstrosity past the U.S. Constitution.  You can meet the mandate by buying insurance from a few organizations that are legally designated 'religious organizations'.  In my local area there is also a pilot program which provides very-low-cost coverage to people below the federal poverty line.  The process for getting in is very simple.  The literature given out to describe services available is very general and dumbed-down beyond belief.  (You have to contact the program's administrators and ask to get information about anything beyond the most basic information).  And if your first language is Spanish there is a translator there for you {ring any alarm bells considering what's been going on over the last year or so at our southern border?  It should.  Sounds as if that band that we hear all over the airwaves, Obie and the Dems, is working hard to satisfy the voting bloc which they anticipate will keep them in power over the next fifty years; and no, for those of you who are a little slow, I do not mean those who crossed our southern border legally!  I am referring to illegal crossers and their progeny, who by mere tradition in the United States will be considered legal citizens (I support that tradition, by the way.  In fact, I support making it into law.  I simply don't support its' use as a political tool.)}

September 11th '20th Hijacker' Says Members Of Saudi Royal Family Funded Al Qaeda

Even a mainstream news outlet is now quoting a man convicted of terror-related charges as saying that members of the Saudi royal family have funded al Qaeda.  Here's more:

The True Environmental, Social And Political End Game Of Barack Obama

When considering the environmental policies of Barack Obama, there have been essentially two competing arguments.  One is essentially an argument offered by utopians; that he intends to bring us back to a pre-industrialized state in which the burning of any 'fossil fuels' for heat or any other purpose will be strictly regulated and controlled if not outright forbidden.  I am willing to offer a second, underlying argument which has always been there, lurking in certain corners of the right wing, among certain more 'conspiracy'-minded individuals and in-and-around the homesteading and 'off-the-grid' movements.  That argument is at least that the actions of Barack Hussein Obama, through his EPA and other agencies, will have the effect of making living off the grid well-nigh impossible for all or at least for everyone but the wealthy and very wealthy and will push us all toward complete dependence on centralized and therefore controllable fuel sources.  The alternative to this within this same way of thinking is even darker:  that this is all intentional and that it isn't at all about "greening" the earth or any other general, admirable-sounding nonsense; it's about control of people.

Think about it:  the policies of the first Obama Administration and the second have seemed from the very beginning to point toward proscribing and otherwise discouraging the use of certain fuels.  In the beginning of his first term, this president sat on his hands for six weeks while an underwater oil well spewed crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, destroying the businesses and livelihoods of many individuals and families and effectively maiming and defaming the Gulf Coast seafood business for years to come.  With the massive resources of the U.S. Coast Guard, don't tell me that he couldn't have done anything (in fact nothing was about what he did!)  His acts seem to be aimed at defaming and destroying the oil and coal businesses and discouraging wood-burning if not eliminating it as a possibility for many people (which would destroy or dramatically harm businesses in this part of the country which depend on the harvest or replenishment of wood) while essentially leaving alone natural gas and electricity, which require being tethered more closely to the grid (you have to have them piped to your home; you can't just have them delivered or pick them up someplace), and are therefore controllable.  Also, he seems to want to make it more difficult to use alternative, renewable fuels (http://upcloseandpersonal10.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-true-legacy-of-barack-hussein-obama.html).  As certain recent television programs point out, urine and poop are all biodegradable and reusable.

So, what's the regulation-mongers (and Obama's) objection to using renewable fuels which we can obtain without giving a buttload of money to 'greenie' businesses and special interests (Obama and Democratic party contributors?) or depending on government?  I think the answer to all of this is very plain.  Where will this regulation-madness stop?  With special $1500 scrubbers required on your backyard barbecue pit?  With a forest-full of wood around you (presenting a wildfire danger to you, family, friends and home) while you and your family are shivering, due to fear of a visit from the jackbooted minions of your local regulators?  With you being unable to legally store food because the storage area has not been approved or because some 'moralistic' bureaucratic slug declares that it's hoarding (Think about it; what's less moral than denying people the opportunity to feed themselves without governmental or other authoritarian/totalitarian intervention)?  I've actually heard of a person with a composting toilet being told that he had to get indoor plumbing and a toilet that was connected to that system.  How stupid is that?  This all leads one to a very ugly conclusion:  that these 'greenies', including their fascist president, are really concerned about control.
