Unlimited "Glenn Beck is a nutter" thread

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

The whole thing reads like it was written by children. Like the part where they apparently expect the banks to do the lending, waiving the down payment, credit check, and background check, and the "lease is for life", whatever that means. Because apparently they don't think banks care about making money or securing their loans... so much for the free market. How exactly do they plan to convince the banks to do this? Government regulations?

I think they're using a bunch of words that they don't really understand, and stringing them together in a way that they hope sounds credible. Plus, um, interest-free loans with no background or credit check? Yeah. That's going to attract a very savory type to their little community.

Reminds me when New Age/Spiritualists try to pass of fake science for actual science.

I don't think there are any loans involved. Everything is rented.

It's basically just a fortified subdivision.

The really funny part is, you can't live there unless you are proficient with a gun, so no people with poor vision, or parkinsons or anything, ever, even if you've lived there for 30 years.

Worst. HOA. Ever.

The point isn't to make a viable community, or political point or whatever.

The point of this whole project is to fleece the fuckers.  All of it is going to be spin, carefully crafted conservative propaganda and fantasy.

I suspect the plan is to get shut down by the government before anything is actually built, but after they've collected the "application fees", then blame the Librulz.

Wait... a Teabagger community without property ownership? 

This is seriously amazing.

Yeah, gotta be. Because nothing about it is feasible, or even plausible.

I am still loving that one of the hurdles they claim to think they're going to overcome is getting a bank to loan them money to buy 2 square miles without 20% down.

ALSO ALSO ALSO

The reason the population density is so low in the area they chose is because the ground is made out of GRAVEL. There's exactly zero possibility of subsistence farming, so there's pretty much no point in people leasing 40 acres.

I realize that most people won't know that and that the point is just to convince enough suckers to part with an application fee (which is also funny, because if there's no background or credit check, why would they need an application fee?) but still.

Does anyone else notice item 12, which says that, essentially, if you're a bad shot you can face DISCIPLINARY MEASURES?

Wow.

I assume they must plan on culling the elderly.

This reminds me of one of those recent wannabe libertarian utopias, where the asshole organizing was asked what they'd do if people wanted to reintroduce some socialism.  Jackass says "They won't be allowed to talk about that sort of thing".

Scratch a utopianist, get a Nazi.

Yep. The only way to get people to BEHAVE RIGHT is to MAKE THEM. For FREEDOM!
