    NIMBY Is The Cornerstone Of Modern Socialism NIMBYism, A.K.A. “not in my back yard.”

    NIMBY Is The Cornerstone Of Modern Socialism



    Hypocrisy exposed on campus, in elitist cities, and in immigrant-burdened socialist enclaves...

    Hypocrisy exposed on campus, in elitist cities, and in immigrant-burdened socialist enclaves...



    Winston Churchill famously said that socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.” He should have added that it is also an ideology of for thee but not for me. Anytime socialist idealists have an opportunity to practice the dogma outlined in Das Kapital or the teachings espoused by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), they reject the offer and say, “Maybe some other day, but not right now.” But that won’t stop Che Guevara T-shirt-wearing leftists from encouraging others to accept this way of life, no matter how iniquitous or asinine it is.
    This is on full display every day, and it isn’t so much trumpeted by the politicians — we know they say and do anything to attain or maintain power, including offering a treasure trove of free goodies on someone else’s dime. Rather, it is the typical hipster, the celebrity residing in his or her ivory tower, and the social justice warriors on Twitter who demand that others adopt their principles before they adopt these values themselves.
    Recently, three instances of this were on display in Florida, San Francisco, and Sweden.
    Socialism On Campus

    Recently Campus Reform spoke with several university students in Florida about socialism. The website asked these young whippersnappers if they would endorse a policy whereby students with a high GPA would redistribute their grades to those with a low GPA. The students were not exactly enthusiastic about their hypocrisy being exposed, explaining that they work hard for their marks and that it’s unfair to take away someone’s college scores.
    “I’m all for helping, but I wouldn’t give some of my points .… I’ve lost a lot of sleep so I don’t know if that would be fair,” one student said.
    Another pupil revealed, “I, like, study all day for my grades.”
    Perhaps the irony is lost on these kids. Or maybe they think millionaires and billionaires have money trees in their backyards and that they just sit and wait for Federal Reserve Notes to fall from the branches like the apple hitting Isaac Newton on the head.
    Kids these days...

    Limousine Liberals In San Francisco

    It is safe to say that San Francisco is the home of the nation’s wokest progressives. In 2016, just 9,000 people who live there voted for President Donald Trump, so finding someone right of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is about as rare as discovering a sidewalk free from fecal matter. It is also ground zero for NIMBYism, also known as “not in my back yard.”
    Last month, Mayor London Breed approved a 24-hour, 225-bed waterfront homeless center in a 2.3-acre empty parking lot in an upscale neighborhood south of the Bay Bridge. The Navigation Center would allow the homeless to bring their lovers and pets so staff could connect these individuals with local resources and services. The affluent are not pleased.
    As part of the Safe Embarcadero for All initiative, nearly 300 people have raised close to $100,000 on GoFundMe to pursue legal action to fight the homeless shelter. They fear for the community’s safety, citing city data that show “a third of the homeless are drug users and some are sex offenders,” which they believe could result in an influx of addicts using drugs in the neighborhood.
    A counter GoFundMe campaign, SAFER Embarcadero for ALL, was launched, receiving nearly $175,000 in contributions from more than 1,500 donors.



    NIMBYism is common in affluent neighborhoods of many metropolitan cities.
    In 2015, a Toronto charity hoaxed the wealthy left-leaning Leaside community by announcing a new homeless shelter was going to be erected. Nearby residents were “distressed,” complaining that their real estate values would plummet, businesses would see lower foot traffic, and that area of the city would be “ruined.”
    Swedes Won’t Take Migrants

    Sweden has been taking in hundreds of thousands of migrants from the Middle East. So far, the social engineering experiment has been a disaster, with no-go zones becoming more prevalent and the rich Swedish culture being turned upside down. The country is gradually getting fed up with the government opening its door, hence the rise of right-wing parties that are concerned about ballooning migration.
    A viral video making the rounds on the Internet shows a man asking people in Stockholm their opinions on the influx of migrants. He specifically questioned if Swedes should accept refugees into their home, wanting to know if they would consider housing an unaccompanied minor or refugee in their living space. They were amicable in their answers until a real opportunity presented itself.



    When he had a refugee with him who needed a place to stay, the responders stuttered and stammered, came up with excuses, and, in the end, nobody took in the unknown foreigner.

    These are not the only ones to have reservations about accepting a total stranger into their home. J.K. Rowling, an elitist multimillionaire, tweets about how important it is to let migrants into the U.K., and anyone who questions that is a racist. Unfortunately, despite having an 18-bedroom mansion, she has not housed a single refugee. Hundreds of refugees have established a shantytown near George Clooney’s beautiful Lake Como home in Italy, so why isn’t he letting these people stay in his elegant villa?
    What Leftists Have In Common

    When Homer Simpson ran for sanitation commissioner in Springfield, he came up with a campaign slogan that would personify the left: “Can’t Someone Else Do It?” It is apropos for those on the left on a wide variety of issues, from taxation to migration and the environment. They lead the charge to let someone else pay higher taxes or assist the poor. It’s akin to the self-righteous virtue-signalers who tweet all day about how white people stole land from Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) ancestors but undoubtedly would refuse to cede their own property to Native Americans.
    Democrats love to grab easy political points by alluding to unconscious biases and how there needs to be more minorities and women in public office. Yet, these same individuals never admit to implicit prejudice – it’s always somebody else – and you will not see former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) or Sen. Sanders bow out of the race to let a minority or female take his place.
    The doctrine of leftism advocates that it is your moral duty to advance pseudo-moralistic social justice. But the leftists’ genuine ethical stance is to sacrifice others before sacrificing themselves. It’s like the old joke about neoconservatives who proudly say they have given to the war effort, by having three cousins and their wives’ brothers die in battle.
    Rather than signing a petition and marching in a social justice parade, leftists should instead turn the moral mirror on themselves. If they did, they would see the Picture of Dorian Gray.

    Trump Magic – Cher Tweets Ultimate NIMBY Message…

    Posted on April 14, 2019 by sundance

    Well, he called them out. President Trump knew if he supported a program to resettle illegal aliens in sanctuary cities, the hypocrisy of the left would come out… and boy was he right.
    The champion for Hollywood’s far-left resistance movement, actress and singer Cher, jumps into action and sends the ultimate NIMBY (not in my back yard) message:

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    SHOCK: Cher Comes out Against Illegal Immigration and Sanctuary Cities


    Some were surprised to see the California actress speak out against Los Angeles’ immigration policies.

    Published 10 hours ago on Apr 15, 2019
    By Richard Moorhead


    Legendary actress and singer Cher criticized the city of Los Angeles’ Sanctuary City policies in a tweet on Sunday.



    Cher possibly represents the most famous celebrity to speak out against the lax and weak immigration policies in place in California. Los Angeles, the state’s biggest city, embraces a policy of refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
    Judging from the legendary entertainer’s tweet, the City’s open-door policy may be losing support, even among the area’s progressive and liberal electorate.
    Cher’s denunciation of the City’s generous policies towards migrants comes with a touch of irony, however. Many liberals and progressives who nominally support Los Angeles’ sanctuary city policies consider themselves to be above actually accommodating the illegal immigrants who tend to flock to sanctuary municipalities. The celebrities and wealthy individuals who live in progressive enclaves such as Malibu, California, are thoroughly insulated from the negative consequences of mass immigration.
    While Cher deserves credit for assessing Los Angeles’ sanctuary policies critically, it’d be all the more meaningful if she were to connect the dots and call out governmental policies along municipal, state and federal lines that encourage mass-scale illegal immigration.
    Some progressives weren’t too happy to see the icon of gay culture raise a point not dissimilar to the political platform of President Trump. It wouldn’t be easy to unperson a singer and actress with decades of movie and music credits overnight, but you can expect incensed progressives to try regardless.

    All States need to do an audit of their welfare, food stamps, Section 8 housing, schools, Medicaid programs and TERMINATE those benefits.

    School is out in June. Get the policy in place NOW that no illegal aliens will be enrolled in our taxpayer funded schools in the Fall of 2019!

    Parents need to demand they are removed from our classrooms.

    Stop forcing us to foot the bill for foreign citizens to attend our schools or the illegals can pay the $15,000 per illegal student per year cash up front!

    Our classrooms are overcrowded, our teachers are underpaid. Terminate them, save those tax dollars to give our teachers a raise with that money...it is OUR money!

    Those benefits are for legal U.S. citizens!

    Stop embezzling our taxpayer money, misappropriating those tax dollars, to pay for harboring, aiding and abetting illegal aliens.

    If the have NO health insurances those hospitals and Doctor's should require them to pay CASH up front...just like we would have to do in their countries.

    TRUMP...DEEM ALL DRIVERS LICENSES ISSUED TO ILLEGAL ALIENS NULL & VOID!

    THESE STATES ARE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF ENFORCING OUR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION & VISA LAWS!
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
