"The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."
I can't stop laughing! I've laughed so hard my sides are hurting!! LOL!! I Love it! "Just Desserts Café" LOL!! Oh the irony of it! LOL!!

And let's not forget a sculpture of Souter, perhaps made of glass, sitting on the toilet, and crapping on the Constitution.
With a happy smile upon his ugly face, of course.

This guy should be selling stock in the LOST LIBERTY HOTEL.
How about putting the ten commandments on the front lawn in letters a foot high.

I want to invest!
Weare is a nice place, and home of Sugar Hill Speedway. I left big chunks of skin on the dirt track there in my youth.

Then its' no longer a beautiful park and you shouldn't punish the animals in the zoo - they didn't vote Kennedy!

This could be a pretty good idea. It seems to be mostly played for laughs and designed to make a passing point rather than to have any hope of becoming reality. If the backers are serious, they should go with something like a founding fathers' and Constitutional and Bill of Rights theme while avoiding direct references to current justices or politics. Thomas Jefferson alone has more than enough material on point.
It would be even better if the development was something like a mall that could actually made money. This would make the point far better than any in your face political stunt.

What a lovely idea! Truly, I don't think it is a joke, I think it would draw loads of tourists and make the town a ton of money. Just think of all the conservatives who would travel there to get their pics taken in front of it. And think of the money they would spend--after all they are all rich Republicans! If the city council really has the welfare of the town at heart they will jump on this!

Oooooooh you rascal. Martha's Vineyard? Just think of all those spectacular ocean front mansions owned by the wealthy that could be "eminent domained" and turned over to businesses which would generate more taxes.

Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged." This hotel idea is terrific! The developers also ought to include a free copy of the Constitution along with a complimentary copy of Mark Levin's new book, Men In Black: How The Supreme Court Is Destroying America, at check-in.
But they should also leave the Gideon Bible. The Bible is very clear "private property" is an important institution. It was a well-established principle private property was a God-given right and even omnipotent Hebrew Kings could not confiscate private property. Even King David refused to take a freely offered gift of the perfect piece of private property on which to build the new Temple. He instead insisted on paying the owner a handsome price for it. The private ownership of property is a long-established Biblical institution.

There are so many wonderful ocean view homes owned by people like Barbara Streisand which could be "eminent domained" to make room for tax revenue producing hotels, themeparks, and shopping outlets.
Start up those 'dozers men, we're headin' for the coast!

if I was a developer, I'd be banging on city council doors all over right about now - if they don't comply, they ain't governing for the public good!
