The Pizza Pope is having a town built in his own image. With the awesome power of the almighty dollar, Tom Monaghan, founder of Dominos Pizza, has invested over $250,000,000 into building Ave Maria, Florida, a town that is fashioned after his own beliefs in Roman Catholicism.
Some groups are calling the town, "unconstitutional", as there are already restrictions on strip clubs, pornography, abortion, and even town influence on the sale of condoms and other birth control devices, ideals based upon Mr. Monahan's' wishes. Residents say they want to live with people who share their beliefs and think the way they do. Does that sound familiar?
While I applaud their efforts to build a noble and moral society, it is still a theocracy. As one blogger put it, "Monaghan's town is based on fundamentally un-American values."
What do you think? Are cult communities un-American?
Will you still buy Dominoes Pizza, knowing that your funds are supporting a Separatist Community?

I like sharing ideas and ideals in an open forum. I may not like what you have to say but you can still say it here. I try to be fair. I'll often admit that the positions I support have flaws. I detest bloggers who always base their opinions on their political party's rhetoric and never have an original thought. I am neither a Republican or a Democrat. I vote for whoever I think will do the best job of running things. I may be wrong but at least I think with my own brain. I think Rush Limbaugh is the biggest and most dishonest jerk that ever lived. John "New Orleans Deserved It" Hagee is somewhere right alongside him. If you like Limbaugh or Hagee then you're ignorant and you suck. Whatever you think, join the blog! Come and debate! Let the politicians know what the public really thinks on an open forum like mine where free speech cannot be denied!
