Community leaders working together in Carroll County recently defended their county against overreaching smart growth initiatives. Richard Rothschild, a candidate for Commissioner, emphatically remarks, "Smart growth is not science; it is political dogma combined with an insidious dose of social engineering. Smart growth is a wedding wherein zoning code is married with government-sponsored housing initiatives to accomplish government's goal of social re-engineering. It urbanizes rural towns with high-density development, and gerrymanders population centers through the use of housing initiatives that enable people with weak patterns of personal financial responsibility to acquire homes in higher-income areas. This has the effect of shifting the voting patterns of rural municipalities from Right to Left."

Smart growth plans usurp property rights and constitutional rights. Local officials, at the behest of State Government, revise zoning laws to fit into a "smart code" zoning template. A massive reshuffling of property rights ensues. Farmers may lose subdivision rights; conservation land adjacent to population centers may be rezoned into commercial employment centers; and low-density land in small towns is re-designated as growth area and rezoned to accommodate diverse housing including high-density apartments and condominiums.

Finally, a healthy dose of federal- or state-sponsored housing initiatives is embraced to ensure communities are properly balanced. The net effect of these plans is to create highly urbanized population centers throughout otherwise-rural counties, while simultaneously limiting the availability of land for suburban and estate subdivisions, as these are considered an unsustainable waste of land by Agenda 21 disciples.

If the UN thinks it's a good idea, I know it's a bad idea.





The UN is a misguided collection of fools who think that people from nations where they live in mud huts and drink cow piss should have any say in

how developed, industrialized nations handle any aspect of their own affairs.



The UN is an organization that put a freaking Iranian in charge of the woman's rights commission.





The US should (a) withdraw from the UN,  (b), order the UN to remove itself entirely from American soil (of course that means to vacate their

headquarters in NYC), and (c) give them only seven days to vacate the building before it's turned into cheap living accomodations for the army

of NYC bums.    Having been occupied by UN creatures for so long, it's not fit for habitation by NORMAL people.
