Another political rant you say? Why yes, of course!

General
Does anyone even read Journals anymore?
Hahahaha you guys thought I was over with it? Nope!
As always, I'll show up the depraved depths of political idiotism to you, may your read it or not.
This time we pick up something unusual, means something people wouldn't think about first when hearing politics: Camps. Summer Camps to be exactly.
Yeah, I know, I'll do scare tactics and Childrens books next time, but for now this one strikes me as fundamentally dumber.
Okay, heres the first fucker of the day, this one more on the left side: The Secular, free thinking Atheist camp, Camp Quest.
http://www.camp-quest.org/
Well, as you guys know, I was an atheist some time ago, before I adopted pantheist and christian ways of thinking and faith. But even when I was an atheist, I wasn't raging raging, living after the idea of live and let live, as long as they don't attacked my style of living.
And hey, this camp allows even hardcore christians to join under the premise of free thought and tolerance. That is, unless its about god or unicorns, as seen in the unicorn hunt below.
"There are two that live at Camp Quest. You can't see them, touch them, hear them, smell them, and they don't leave any visible signs or tracks. If a camper can prove that the unicorns do not exist he or she will win a godless $100 bill (a $100 from prior to 1954 when "In God We Trust" was added to U.S. paper currency)."
So yeah, first it tells us that believing in myths is bad and stupid and that you need to get that evil, easy to overlook word "GOD" of your dollar bill, so rush to your parents and tell them to protest against it, and join them all the while making snarky remarks at those stupid people who have a faith.
Yeah, free thought my ass...
Anyway, now lets go to the next point on the list. The counterpoint camp. And this one comes with a strong red-blue-and-white flavour, with an aftertaste of stars.
Camp American!
http://www.campamerica.org/
Sounds awesome right? I mean, its so american that it it right in its name!
But what is american according to the camp? Lets see:
"Where God's truth and Patriotism go hand in hand."
Okay, doesn't sounds too badly unless you're atheist, but thats not all. Subjects talked about in the camp are among others:
-The deception of evolution
-Importance of purity and morals in a free society
-pagan connection to the radical environmental movement
Okay, I can understand the teaching of values and morals, but trying to indoctrinate Creationism and hate against all enviromental groups goes a bit too far if you ask me.
Anyway, other stuff they learn is how to return Christ to the American Government (which goes against secularism), how the envriomental movement just wants to destroy private property and that you should keep a constitution 100% the same, even though society and the world changed pretty much 1000% over the last 200 hundred years after writing that thing.
Okay, that all goes a bit too far if you ask me. First, secularism is the basis for modern society, so we can't just overthrow that, the enviromental movement, may be pesky at times but they're not communists (not all at least) and they just want to ensure that our kids can have a nice nature to go to when they grow up, and not some destroyed wasteland and if you ask me, a constitution should be mostly unchanged, but if society changes so rapidly, hell, if the world changes so rapidly, even the constitution has to partly go with it.
Anyway, lets get back to the camp. So, lets say you wanna sign up your kid for it (I hope not, but lets just assume it), what should your kiddo bring with it?
Aside of the normal things, like toothbrush, clothes for changing and such, it should bring a bible and constitution so it can learn hotw to interpret both the right way (that is how the camps instructors think its right) and it should keep those other outside medias at home.
Oh, and of course, no speedos for boys or bikinis for the girls, since these can impure the minds of the children with lustful feelings, something the lord surely would condemn.
So yeah, as you can see, both sides have their own little deranged camps to send kids to to ensure that they are just as extreme and indoctrinated as themselves.
But thankfully, not everyone on the right or left is that way.
