The 1776 Gastonia housing development promises to blend patriotism and freedom, honoring the ideals that built this country. Developer Brock Fankhauser calls it a movement. Specifically, 1776 Gastonia is a planned community for people — or rather, “patriots” — 55 and up.

Oh, it’s a movement alright. But it’s the kind of movement that usually precedes a flushing sound.

Good luck getting all the disabled old people to take their flag down every night and put it back up every morning.

The Gastonia High Priest of the order of the Flag Worship will soon be demanding human sacrifices. It seems the daily chant of pretended veneration (aka “Pledge of Allegience”) isn’t enough to satisfy its lust for blood.

Makes sense since it sounds like Genosha and the Friends of Humanity would definitely like both.
