Jon Stewart takes a look at the Freedom Towns being promoted by the fundamentalist/conservatives. Wow.
In the beginning of this segment, when they are just outlining what it is about, I’m thinking….they’re talking Communes?
Well, okay, not exactly communes, where everybody is supposed to share food and chores and stuff, but yeah, this comes pretty close to it, by demanding residents adopt the same narrow view.
The thing is…it’s not that far from Communism, which requires everyone be the same—by discouraging independent thought and creativity and action. (And I wonder what they do with someone who loses their job and becomes homeless in this Utopia? Or *gasp* someone who develops an independent thought and starts expressing liberal ideals…?)
And to link into the previous post on the Fourth Amendment–it along with the First Amendment are parts of the Constitution that kept us from becoming Communist China, Communist Russia, and Nazi Germany. Without them, we’re toast.
So…..you would think that the conservatives would be fighting like the despised liberals to preserve them.
Why aren’t they??
