the US would appear to be collapsing in on itself if this is it's future.
That is the problem. The US IS COLLAPSING on itself, and it is not because of this idea. Just look at how many young people cannot get jobs, and are living with their parents, even with a college education. Such a country cannot survive very long. In addition, a country cannot survive long by printing money, because at some point, nobody with accept it. People who fail to learn from the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it, Witness Nazi Germany and the super inflation that occurred there.
so what about it being a xenophobic, badly thought-out idiotsville that is a flag bearer for all that is worst about the US? this kind of crud will only damage the nation it claims to love
and godwin's law

oh..I am -forced- to own one... how is that different than forcing me to not have one?
Nobody is forcing you to own one, or NOT own one, although the current administration is trying to stop gun ownership. If you don't want to own one, then you would not want to join this community. No one is FORCING you to join.

no they can`t, all they can do is put a lien on your home for the unpaid association fees, they most certainly can`t evict you from the community and confiscate your home.edit on 13-1-2013 by Tardacus because: (no reason given)

I don't know. This stood out to me:
[Residents should also agree that being "prepared for the emergencies of life and being proficent with the American icon of liberty -the rifle- are prudent measures,
It just seems like an invitation for ATF to come and visit.

What needs to happen is a bunch of states backing them against the feds.
The feds unconstitutional laws need to be made illegal to enforce in Idaho... there, no problem.

Meh, I'd probably get kicked out after they knocked on my door and told me to turn down my music.
I generally don't do well in large groups or in very structured environments.

Anytime a group decides to close themselves off from the rest of society and indoctrinates its community, arms itself and declares they are patriots, you know it is not gonna end well just like most cults.

How is this "indoctrination" any different than what goes on in public schools and college campuses around the US? I would posit that the leftists in government, media and "academia" are a cult. I believe the power of the individual trumps the collective.
There has always been a plan to get these "useful idiots" into power, where they can influence children (public schools) and college students and the public at large (media).
There used to be a time, where teachers and professors just taught. And not put their own spin on things. There used to be a time where journalists reported the news, and let the reader make their own decision based on the facts available.
There are many people tired of the moral relativism of the left, and they understand the philosophies behind that. I predict a time in the not too distant future where there will be more and more people wanting to get away from this leftist diarrhea, and will do much the same thing. But I imagine they will be castigated for not "going with the flow".
