Based on Beck's viewing demographic, it will be a community of idiots obviously.

Perhaps this is exactly whats needed.

A few thousand people who share a common distrust of an overreaching federal government that no longer cares about the Constitution.

Would the feds invade after all of them refused to pay taxes or follow federal laws? Would millions of people stand by and watch the feds arrest or kill hundreds, if not thousands of people who share the same beliefs as they do?

The federal government needs to be put in its place once and for all. What it will take to do that remains to be seen.

It would be one heck of a Season Finale....though it would probably be more of a Series Finale.

You really think it's not in the plans? I requested popcorn and a comfy chair for a reason.

You'll need a lot of tissues for the "Cry Along With Glenn" episode.

Ugg. I'd have to burn my tv if that ever happened. Turning it off or changing channels just wouldn't be enough, I'd still feel dirty.

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

Hmm, let me think. Choose the streets of Chicago or Texas? What's wrong Gurbie, you defend welfare so much we all know your soaking other Americans.

Gurbie... getting welfare is indefensible. No matter who is president, if you collect welfare we still look down on you.

This ^^^ seems to be the "dumb-est" and the most off-topic post of the week.

Btw, I'd take Chicago any time over Texas.

Beck's demographics tend to skew old, so his "libertarian" community may consist almost entirely of people collecting Social Security and Medicare benefits from the government. So Beck's concentration camp will in reality function more like a commune of socialists suffering from a distinct lack of a sense of irony.

"Keep your government hands off my Medicare"
