If it is on privately bought land, it not the ACLU's business..
Amana, was a town started by a religious groupin Iowa. They had their name on appliances for years.
Of course the Mormons settled Utah and still have a great deal of influence there.
Ephrata Pennslyvania had a celibate community thatmade hand made manuscripts, I think the state runs it now as a museum.
Seems to me if a private person wants to set up a town with certain values, I have no problem with it.
Aren't CCR's accepted in real estate (Codes, covenants, restrictions) On building types allowed?
There is a street in Sacramento that has CCR's because everybody on the cul-d-sac puts up yard full of Christmas decorations and you have to agree to decorate your house if you buy on that street. Oh, good Lord. The ACLU needs to get over itself!
I want to establish a heterosexual, Catholic, vanilla town. Shoot me.
Doesn't the ACLU have some Amish communities to harrass?
I guess the ACLU is going to sue the AMISH and Quakers for their communities

Will it become an Anglican town if the mayor wants to divorce?
I don't know about this.
How about a Shariah town?
Leave it to the ACLU to oppose freedom of association. If Catholics want to build a town for themselves, they're perfectly entitled and free to do so, IMHO. Same goes for anyone else. The key here is "building." If this were an existing town, with non-Catholic citizens already in residence, it would be a problem.
Vedic City banned the sale of all non-organic foods. They even have their own currency.
Oh, boo hoo, aclu. It's called freedom of religion. Curious how they forget that. Unless they're lobbying for calls to prayer in Michigan or some such. I'm lol because this is hardly a new thing, it's only offensive to the aclu because it's Catholic. The town I live in is predominantly Catholic, about 85%, and it was once over 95%, founded several generations ago by a group of immigrants who wanted to create just such a Catholic community where they could live with civil and Catholic rules and traditions and no persecution from the outside.
There are already islamo-terrorist towns in the US and the UCLA, oops, meant ACLU, isn't opening their effing mouthes.
This is no different then a gated community where they set all the rules concerning how your house can look, what lawn decorations you can have, how many cars you can have etc. etc.
Nothing more than the athiest, seditious, communist-leaning ACLU taking expected action to further erode the values and belief in God that made this country great. Who funds these creeps? IMHO they should all be arrested and deported or put in jail for sedition. They are as un-American as you can get; the ACLU is against God, borders, language, and American culture!
I'll take one of those boxes of popcorn now.
Looks interesting, didn't read the whole thing yet.
I was waiting for this.
Go Tom Monaghan!
Now there's a surprise for ya. The Anti-Christian Lawsuit Union is offended by the existence of anything even remotely Christian. It's a wonder they haven't tried to run off the Amish yet.
