So, who's lining up to move to Glennbeckistan? (Glenn Beck, independence, economic)

[Gurbie]

Glenn Beck has announced plans to build a self-sustaining "libertarian community" in Texas, complete with "deprogramming and re-education centers":

Just a couple questions (these go for the " Citidel" in Idaho, or the "Free New Hampshire" movements too):

1) "Libertarian" and "Community"- is that anything like "jumbo shrimp"?

2) Are you planning on having any rules? Who's gonna enforce them? Who's in charge?

3) You do realize that ALL FEDERAL LAWS will apply regardless of how deep you dig the moat, right?

4) I see Beck's Independence Park is going to be built in the middle of a lake (or something), and that the Citidel will have high walls and gun towers... But what are you planning to do about air strikes?

Like I said before, it would be if it wasn't so

I might if things get any worse in this country.

Why do so many people think that Libertarians are anarchists? Is it intentional ignorance, or do they really not understand the difference? Either way, whenever I see one of these people, I usually laugh quietly to myself and dismiss them outright.

I heard Herman Cain was moving to "Uhbeckybeckerstan" just to find out who the President is.

Some Libertarians are self-proclaimed Anarchists, but they're in the minority. I happen to be one of those type of Libertarians. That said, most Libertarians in America are on the Right and they prefer limited government.

Why the hate? Why cant Beck have a community if he wants, has the land etc?

I agree! I just wouldn't live anywhere near Beck.

If you move to "Uhbeckybeckerstan" you certainly will need to take your checkbook.

Can't be any worse than NY.

I want to have a community of my own too!

Maybe one day, just drop me and my daughter off on a fruitful island where it's warm all of the time
