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 wouldn't live there. I prefer living in places where people actually care about others--you know, the civilized world.

Jeez you guys are so harsh on Glenn Beck, hes really not so evil. You guys must have never watched him at all. So what he wants to build a community all the power to him. I guarantee he want no assistance from the government. If its all loonies who cares don't move there, its that simple

Probably not. But there will be a Beckeria, Beck's General Store, Beck Gas-Oil, Beck Theater, Beck TV will be the only station, Bank of Beck, Beck Cathedral, ..., well you get the picture.

At its core conservatism is about exclusion. These walled communities are just that exclusive for real patriots or real Americans. The whole purpose is to keep out the wrong kinds of Americans and limit the need to deal with them.

Many conservatives want millions of Americans to just disappear, to stop voting, to stop having the government serve their interests. They really want those people gone either physically or at least in having their interests met within a democracy.

Deprogram from one screwy system and reprogram for another. Hiding behind walls does not make fore a better world; just ask anyone who lives in Brazil or South Africa. Even the Mormons eventually realized isolation does not work... you'd think Beck of all people would realize that.
