Could Glenn Beck Bring Independence to Texas? » Swamplot: Houston's Real Estate Landscape

Quote:
Independence, USA wouldn’t be about rides and merchandise, but would be about community and freedom. The Marketplace would be a place where craftmen and artisan could open and run real small businesses and stores. The owners and tradesmen could hold apprenticeships and teach young people the skills and entrepreneurial spirit that has been lost in today’s entitlement state.

There would also be an Media Center, where Glenn’s production company would film television, movies, documentaries, and more. Glenn hoped to include scripted television that would challenge viewers without resorting to a loss of human decency. He also said it would be a place where aspiring journalists would learn how to be great reporters.
Across the lake, there would be a church modelled after The Alamo which would act as a multi-denominational mission center. The town will also have a working ranch where visitors can learn how to farm and work the land.

Independence would also be home to a Research and Development center where people would come to learn, innovate, educate, and create. There would be a theme park for people to recharge and have fun with their families.
People would also have the option to live in Independence, with a residential area where people of different incomes could all come together and be neighbors.
How do you guys feel about this? Sounds like another Waco to me..

BUT, maybe all the true RWNJ's can move there and have a grand ole' time!

In few words, Glenn Beck is a socialist/communist that would be happy to live in Communist Cuba.

The best thing Glenn Beck could do for Texas would be to move to another state.

They want to create a whole community for right-wing wackos? They need to draft this bill ASAP.

Independence! Like Branson, but with more right-wing buzz words and less theatre!
