Well, it turns out that Jesus and the GOP were right again; There is no such thing as a free lunch. The houses being built by Hellywood "stars", God-mocking liberals one and all, are falling apart as soon as they're done. Part of the trouble has to be that limp-wristed liberals can't hold a hammer to bang in a nail properly. Only an avowed communist like Jimmy Carter would think of something that idiotic.
But the bigger lesson here, Brothers and sisters, is that giving away free houses to people who are willfully poor is an act of cruelty and hatred. They don't know what to do with a house. Because they live in sin, God sends them plagues of cock-a-roaches and rats. Unless they learn to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, they are doomed to failure. Jesus helps those who help themselves. Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and eat everyday. Give a fish a bicycle, and it falls down all day. Teach a fish to bicycle, and it joins a circus....And so on. I'm sure you know what I mean.
Anyway, what stikes me as funny in THIS situation is that the Godless poor scum are turning around and suing the very communists who provided them with a free house. I see this as a hopeful sign that the left is collapsing into a cannibalistic feeding frenzy, destroying itself completely in the end. Glory!!
Save your breath Mrs. Fields. The poor know not cleaning supplies, nor how they are used. The joos in the ACLU swarm around communities of Godless welfare bums trying to find ANY REASON they can to sue, sue, sue.

Charity homes built by Hollywood start to crumble
RESIDENTS of a model housing estate bankrolled by Hollywood celebrities and hand-built by Jimmy Carter, the former US president, are complaining that it is falling apart.
Fairway Oaks was built on northern Florida wasteland by 10,000 volunteers, including Carter, in a record 17-day “blitz” organized by the charity Habitat for Humanity.
Eight years later it is better known for cockroaches, mildew and mysterious skin rashes.
A forthcoming legal battle over Fairway Oaks threatens the reputation of a charity envied for the caliber of its celebrity supporters, who range from Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt to Colin Firth, Christian Bale and Helena Bonham Carter.
The case could challenge the bedrock philosophy behind Habitat for Humanity, claiming that using volunteers, rather than professional builders, is causing as many problems as it solves.
April Charney, a lawyer representing many of the 85 homeowners in Fairway Oaks, said she had no problems taking on Habitat for Humanity, despite its status as a “darling of liberal social activists”. She said the charity should have told people that part of the estate had been built on a rubbish dump.
One man pulled up his floorboards to find rubbish 5ft deep under his kitchen. Other complaints include cracking walls and rotting door frames that let in rats and ants. Many residents have complained of mildew and mysterious skin rashes.
One resident said her children were suffering from skin complaints. “The intentions are good, but when the politicians and big-shot stars have left we’re stuck with the consequences. This house looks pretty but inside it either stinks or sweats,” she said.
Judy Hall, the charity’s local development director, said recently that it had been dealing with about 30 complaints. She added that skilled work was carried out by professionals.
Some residents dismiss their neighbors’ worries. Diennal Fields, 51, said people did not know how to look after their homes: “It’s simple stuff: if there is mildew, don’t get a lawyer, get a bottle of bleach.”
