Say Good-bye to the Suburbs!
Harlotte's at the Table
Good Morning, Breakfastpoppers. Today is Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Our intriguing friend, Spider Harlotte, is with me this morning at the breakfast table. She has a tale to spin for us that will strike fear in the hearts of freedom loving Americans. Please join us for a spinach omelet and a Bloody Mary. Harlotte and I are anxiously awaiting your arrival.
Give and Take
Hello, my dear human family. I have asked you to join me this morning to make you aware of a proposal by the Obama administration that will drastically increase Washington's power to meddle in your lives. You probably never heard of this proposal, which is just the way they like it in Washington. The regulation that President Obama slipped in without fanfare will give Washington the power to change local zoning laws in every single city and town that accepts federal block grants through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. When a city or town accepts such a grant, and they always do, the new regulation will be used to force them to house illegal immigrants. Whether they want to or not becomes irrelevant. The regulation was introduced in July of 2013. It is scheduled to take effect in October of this year. It will provide the Fair Housing Act of 1968 with the power to set guidelines and goals for cities and towns. Failure to meet certain standards will, no doubt, lead to racial quotas. Failure to meet government standards will force communities across America to take in illegal immigrants.
Good-bye Picket Fence
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz) introduced an amendment that would prohibit HUD from implementing the Obama administration's rule. The amendment will probably never make it through the Senate. Sadly, not reading bills or the fine print has become very popular these days. Many city and town councils will accept money from Washington without being aware of what they are agreeing to. Essentially, HUD will be able to come into your communities and re-zone entire areas if they decide that the area does not have enough affordable housing. Communities across the nation will have to ready themselves for an influx of illegal immigrants. The character of your town will change. Budgets will be strained and schools will have to accept an influx of students whether they can handle them or not. . All of the problems that you sought to escape in the overcrowded cities will be knocking on your door. You can thank this administration for that. You can thank President Obama for inflicting his idea of "utopia" upon an unsuspecting public.
Friends in High Places
This new rule is adored by special interest groups that are huge fans of open borders. A group called La Raza has close ties to President Obama. Are you beginning to get the picture? La Raza believes that illegal immigrants are not sufficiently aware of their rights and that they fear deportation. This fear according to La Raza makes them vulnerable to discrimination in housing. What happened to the days when "illegal" meant against the law? La Raza and President Obama are good friends. The group garnered millions and millions of dollars in taxpayer money during the Obama years. This cozy relationship is still in good health. They received a huge increase in funding when one of its top officials got a job in the White House. Ah, what fun it is to have friends in high places!
A Tangled Web...
This bug is beginning to get a picture of an administration that just may have orchestrated this invasion of the United States. This is just the type of crisis that Obama and his friends may have been looking for. After all, if you want to "fundamentally transform" America what better way to do it than this way. Open the borders, flood the country with illegals and secretly fly them all over the country where they can attempt to blend into a society that can't possibly meet their needs in any way. The timing of this invasion is perfect in terms of HUD's expanded powers. Disperse all the illegals around the country in towns and cities. No need to ask officials of the cities or towns if they want this influx of people. No need to ask the American people if they want these people. No need to ask anybody anything. They are crossing the borders in numbers that boggle the mind and the problems they are bringing with them will "transform" our nation forever. Sounds like a plan to me. How about you?

Another unconstitutional move. Such meddling is not a power the Constitution gives the feds. Therefore, it is a power reserved for the states. The problem is that no one cares. And congress is a big part of the problem.
In two years I'll be on a farm...not hiding from all this crap, but living a life of my own choosing....as I have said often, we either have to hold our political leaders accountable, or we have nobody to blame but ourselves. Vote....revolt...take back this country.

Good Morning taxlarry,
We, the people, are silently handing over our lives to a government that has become a monster. See you at the Inn. Hurry over before they re-zone it as a camp for illegals.

Good Morning billybuc,
The way things are moving, the EPA can come to your farm and stop you from growing your own food because of an endangered flea, the IRS will tax the crap out of you for saving money, the FDA will tell you need 400 costly permits to grow your own food and raise animals and they will do their level best to squeeze you and your dream out of existence. . I'm with you, "vote, revolt and take back the country"-enough is enough!
Pop and Harlotte,
I heard that NASA announced that there was a "planet killer" asteroid that will collide with Earth tomorrow night at 10:30 PM with a velocity of over 100,000 miles/hour. When asked if he would cancel his three fund raisers to address the nation Obama said, "The President can't go around changing his important prescheduled events for every supposed apocalyptic event"!!

Good Morning Tom,
Thanks for the laugh. I didn't think it was possible to laugh when our nation is under attack, but you proved me wrong! See you at the Inn!
Brick by brick they are building a federal prison around us and most don't even see it happening. And to think this can even happen in this, "The most transparent administration in the history of the country." Anybody remember this campaign promise of a transparent government?
Our individual freedoms are disappearing at an alarming rate, and it seems nobody cares.
Our elected representative have let us down and they need to be replaced. Congress will never agree to term limits, so it is up to the voters to make this happen.
My own plan is to look at my sample ballot and any candidate who has served two or more terms will automatically not get my vote. My bumper sticker will read; "If your in now, your out."
My basis for this is by the end of their second term they owe way to many favors to repay the campaign contributions they so willingly took. We can only eliminate this "favor debt" by getting them out of office.
If we don't get proactive they will finish the prison and we will all wake up one morning as inmates rather than citizens.
My anger level rises with each day at this government, surely I can't be the only one. It's hard to maintain sometimes. I hope to be (along with Billybuc) on a farm by then, hopefully far enough away to be left alone.

Good Morning, Mike,
That is the only message we can send that will make a difference. Throw them all out on their lazy butts! See you later at the Inn.

Good Morning Brie,
Even the farms are under their thumbs. Obama has turned the EPA into the Gestapo! See you at the Inn.
If there is one thing I learned while living in New York City..it was how to survive underground. You have to become good at being invisible and working in a black market.
I truly believe the only way we can truly escape the madness our government has become is to relocate to another country. This train is rapidly speeding toward self destruction. Our government is so corrupt and staffed with idiots there is no way to fix it now without replacing everyone currently in office.
Shocked, shocked,Americans need to come in full force to protest this. REALLY PROTEST THIS. If this illegal amnesty keeps up, America will be BANKRUPT in a short period of time!

Dear Brie,
You could probably make a million teaching others to survive.

Dear Mike,
I think about that all the time. The problem is that the rest of the world is falling apart as well.

Dear gmwilliams,
Yes, we will be bankrupt. Obama's idea of the true America is a humble nation that takes direction from the rest of the world. In order to become that (we are almost there) he has to weaken us from within. This invasion is fast and effective. His mentors taught him well, didn't they? See you at the Inn.
When I read about the things that our politicians have done and are doing, I wonder how much we don't know and are not being told. Too much is in secret. Too much is being censored. I can see that just from the dozen or so newspapers I read online everyday. A heavy hitting life changing government maneuver will make it into one big city newspaper, but a dozen smaller papers won't even carry it for whatever reasons - maybe because they don't want to handle the letters to the editor or the backlash heard at their cafes. Censoring is everywhere - government, newspapers, TV & radio - it starts at the top where they only tell the media the stories they want them to print. And that's what we are being fed.
The fed uses bribery and extortion to dole out the tax dollars back to the states in the majority of programs they "administer." Until we clean out the corrupt idiots we allow to sit there for decades don't expect too much change.

Dear Rachael,
Our press is now government controlled. It's just not official, but it might as well be. Most people only know what they hear on a nightly newscast from the MSM. That produces a low information voter who goes to the polls and votes in fools. See you at the Inn.

Dear Frog Prince,
I agree, but it would help if states took a closer look at all the strings attached to federal had-outs. In the end, we have to get rid of all the idiots in Washington and replace them with citizens who really do give a damn about our country. See you at the Inn
pop n Harlotte......As usual....I had no idea, but then again, no one I know can possibly have this info either. What would we do without you, pop? Another excellent hub by you and we become more and more aware & enlightened. and outraged.
The only thing that helps alleviate the pain (at least for me)...is hanging on to the hope that in 2016, this will ALL be a horrifying nightmare....and our climb from the depths of hell will begin. Am I being delusional? Please say No.....Up++pinned tweeted
Many of us are alarmed, but far too many Americans are oblivious to the slow erosion of their rights. We need to do something drastic to get their attention, like a massive march on Washington, or a nationwide sit-down strike...something so big that it cannot simply be ignored by the Obamamedia.
Breakfastpop: From your mouth to God's ears!
WillStarr: I'm not sure that would work. I believe (because the Bible tells us) that things will just get worse. So I don't think calling attention to yourself is the way to go. I think the best thing you can do is to become as invisible as possible. Learn survival skills and teach others, then pray for miracles. We are all going to die at one time or another, we just need to make the best of our time here. The Bible tells us that things will get worse so it is pointless to try and make it better. By protesting you just put an X on your forehead. These times are not like other times in history. Believe me, if it were I'd be all for fighting and protesting but they aren't so knowing that you have to decided on the best course of action. Even if you don't believe the Bible, these people have all the weapons, all the money, all the media, there is no way anyone would win against them in a fight.

Dear fp,
First of all, thank you. You always make me feel appreciated. 2016 is our only hope. We need to throw out all the fools, especially the big one in the WH. Our world and our nation are imploding and I believe we can thank Obama for all of it. He has weakened our nation and he wants the rest of the world to know that. Well, they do. The result, Putin is marching and killing and Hamas is on a killing spree. The invasion of our country is important to his plans. He is weakening the nation from within and trying to "change" us forever. The next president had better love this country. See you at the Inn.

Dear Will,
I have been saying this for a while. This past weekend there were demonstrations around the country protesting the invasion at the border. We need more of the same. In my view, there are still way too many people around who get whatever news they want from the MSM. That is dangerous. We can't afford low information voters going to the polls. How does one go about starting march on Washington? I guess I should ask Al Sharpton!!!! See you at the Inn.
I'm sorry to say, I worked for a branch of Hud as a temp for one year. I can remember one of the Processors telling me that she wished the laws were stricter because some of the immigrants Hud is housing have criminal backgrounds, even as bad as rape. So needless to say, I'm not too keen on housing criminals. However, for law abiding citizens who are merely poor, I cannot blame them for not wanting to live in a dump anymore. I come from a poor (legal) background, so I know what it is like to live in federal housing. Not always fun, although there are some places that are OK. Thanks for the info, Harlotte. It's good to know what the preident is up to, always.

Dear savvydating,
What is troubling is this president's tendency to give expanded powers to HUD, the EPA, the IRS and so on. Our government is out of control. See you at the Inn.
POP: So many people do not know what our government is doing. I thank you for keeping us informed. If I had my way, I would make everyone read your hub, so that they will know what is going on and be able to make good decisions. When I rule the world.......... Right now I am back to reality, and am off to the bar.....
This sounds like something worth protesting.
Lots of folks could visit whitehouse.com and sign a petition protesting the action. The President has promised that when a threshold number of folks sign any particular petition, then he will address it. Since our President always keeps his promises, I'm sure he'll take a protest under consideration. All you need is someone to draft the petition and submit it, then advertise it to the news channels.
Yup, that should do it. Maybe. That is, if other things are not more newsworthy.
@Breakfastpop, Brie, Will, and Pino, people know what IS going on. C'mon now. However, many Liberals believe that Obama is THE DESIGNATED ONE who can do no wrong. They actually rationalize many of the scandals and Obama's sociopolitical policies. They know but prefer not to acknowledge. It is analogous to the favorite child who is a serial shoplifter; the parent knows but refuses to accept the gravity of the situation. Instead the parent rationalize the situation until it becomes TOO LATE.

Dear Pino,
The Inn is our reality. It is a place where common sense rules supreme and low information voters are not welcome. Right now, under the Obama administration, common sense is offensive.

Dear FitnezzJim,
You have a good, if misguided and too trusting attitude. What we need is a miracle. See you at the Inn. Drinks are on me!

Dear gmwilliams,
Your explanation of what is happening in the liberal sector of society is brilliant. I may have to print it to help me cope with these fools who foisted this incompetent upon us. See you at the Inn. It's late, but I'll wait for you.
Nothing Obama does is a surprise anymore. We need to take our country back. Everyone needs to vote and maybe a revolt is coming as there will be a breaking point sooner or later if Obama keeps on doing one sneakyl, illegal act after another. Surely, people cannot be so ignorant that they don't see the writing on the wall. Great hub again.
See you at the pub.

Dear Pamela.
It is fabulous to see you at the breakfast table. Honestly, I just can't imagine how there is anyone left on the planet who doesn't see Obama for the fraud and danger that he is. See you later at the Inn. I'll save you a seat and we'll catch up.
And now the libs are angry because Congress refuses to hand over 3 Billion dollars for the illegals with no details on how it will be used.
At least someone in Congress must have removed their head from that dark place where they usually store it.

Dear Mike,
I am shocked the money hasn't been handed over. See you at the Inn.
I will never live in a city. I love it out here in the wooded mountain that I live on is the midst of all the farms around me. We are in our own fight with the EPA and water rights and keeping our very mountain and the water that flows through it. They want to mine it for shale and as they do the water gets dirtier and the radon gets stronger. You do know what radon does, don't you.....it causes brain cancers and a myriad of other nasty things. When the water runs off their mines guess where it goes and guess what consumes it and then it becomes a cycle and not one single thing can be saved from the devastation of it.
We used to have our borders open at one time. That is where and how we got the Statue of Liberty. When did that stop? What is so deadly wrong with those that live on our borders countries that they feel the need to come here? Most of the farm workers here come from Mexico.

Dear Lady Guinevere,
With all the changes taking place in this nation, the character of our towns will change, too. This invasion at our border has nothing to do with legal immigration and the great people who built our country. We can't absorb these people and their problems, of which there are many. Our nation will be battling diseases that we obliterated long ago. Crime will be on the upswing because many of these people are gang members. I am talking about teens who are here to recruit for the drug cartels. This is not immigration, this is an invasion.
Obama has also given departments like the EPA, the NSA, and the IRS powers they were never meant to have. Our nation is out of control and it is time for the people to take it back! See you at the Inn.
Lady Guinevere-The reason most of the farm workers come from Mexico is because our own unemployed youth will not even consider a job like that. It is hard and dirty work and they are not accustomed to doing things like that. In spite of what you hear, many are now used to living on their "Entitlements" and choose to stay in that mode.
I believe our borders were open, but controlled. Immigrants were required to submit to all kinds of scruitiny including being tested for disases, learn the language, pass a test, and become legal citizens of this country without a free ride.
I agree with you on the tests and such. They should learn our language and not the other way around.
Why do you think the youth of today will not do HONEST labor? I can tell you why....because their parent's do not teach them this. How to shut a kid up...stuff something in it's mouth and put in front of a video game or TV. They know nothing about where their food comes from and parent's are too lazy to teach them.

Dear Lady Guinevere and Old Poolman,
I agree, today's kids have no appreciation of hard work. When my kids were growing up they worked everywhere, all through school. They didn't really have to, but they wanted to. Imagine that!
