I liked it better when it was called Jonestown.

Dry-drunk clowns.

Makes sense. People like Glenn Beck and his followers are unable to function in our country as it is today. It's too complex for them. They can't see any option other than to drop out.

Beck is not a Libertarian! That said, I don't what he is other than a paid right-wing provocateur.

It's actually spelled Glenn. Just thought I'd let you know.

Because you have no idea what he's about. You have absolutely no idea.

At least at the end of it all we'll have him and those that believed in his idiocy dead from suicide.


On that day the majority of thinking men and women will be thankful that their demise was swift and painful.
1) It's spelled Kool-aid. If you're gonna bring it up the least you could do is spell it right.
2) (Regarding emboldened statement) How could you say something so ignorant? And some of you people want to talk about hate. You have serious issues to say something like that.

At least you spelled Kool-aid right.
But if you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't say this.
Maybe if some of you people would do just a little research; Maybe detaching yourselves from the mainstream media tit that feeds you all, and maybe latching on to some actual facts would help.

BS. These jeans cost more because 1) they are made in America which means that you have to pay American wages (yes I know, so inconvenient to have to pay Americans instead of the Chinese) 2) they are made with real denim and have copper buttons, zippers, tacks etc. So it costs more than $12 to make those. Again if you people would only do some research you could save yourselves from looking like complete dumb asses.

You have no idea with whom you're dealing. It's not about Beck, it's about the people who are like Beck in any shape or form. They (we) are much more powerful than you realize. Read Altlas Shrugged sometime, or atleast watch the movies (I think they're making 3 parts) maybe you'll get the idea.

What hate? Please enlighten me.
The only hate I see is from people like you on this thread. Talking about mass suicide and how stupid we are. You have no idea. Again, do some research.

For years and years, I've said many times that the ultra-conservatives, teahats, right-wing nuts should all go make their own country. We would see how long it lasts.

I just wanted them OUT of this country. Can't have everything tho. This will be so satisfying to watch. Hopefully, Beck and Co. will spend every penny they have, and fade into the sunset.

Edit: Oh, and also...somebody needs to keep track of all the federal and TX state assistance this new paradise will apply for and use.

Can't disagree with that... Beck is more of failed opportunist than believer in the non-aggression principle and volunteerism dawned by any libertarian. He will only trick conservatives that think they are libertarian to come into his fold...No sane libertarian would approach Beck in any matter.
