The Conservative Zone

Bill Clinton, the first black president for America, when he left office, he decided to set up an office in Harlem, supposedly to be close to "his people."

But, like all Liberals, they cause more harm than good. Harlem to Clinton: you're ruining us.

Bill Clinton's decision to site his office in the largely black Manhattan neighbourhood of Harlem, as a gesture of solidarity with African-Americans, appears to have backfired.

Dozens of angry blacks demonstrated last week outside the building that houses the former president's staff, claiming that his move had led to the gentrification of the area and increased the price of homes beyond their reach.

Typical. They want to "help," but end up doing more harm than good.

Liberals do not count how many people they have helped, but how many people they are helping. They can't have any body actually get off assistance, that would mean that Liberals wouldn't be needed any more.

And quite often, when they do try to "help," they end up making things worse.

I am reminded of the environmentalists who spray painted baby seals so that hunters wouldn't kill the baby seals for their coats. But what really happened? The Liberals took away the only natural defense that the baby seals had against polar bears. You see, only by being stark white and motionless could baby seals hide out in the open against polar bears. Spray painted with a nice red stripe, they stood out like a sore thumb and were easy to spot when a bear got hungry.

So, President Clinton, trying to show solidarity with "his" people, gentrified the neighborhood and raised prices to a new level above the ability of the people who lived there were able to pay. Such goes the results of trying to do the right thing for the wrong reasons.
