Personally I DON'T find it threatening. I also think it's a joke.
But the facts are that any one person who declares he will set up a new "community" outside the mainstream is someone to keep an eye on. What has history taught us about groups like this? Nothing good I'll tell you that.
But again, no threat or fear because he's a jokster and I don't take anything he says seriously. Some of his more committed fans however should probably be monitored but that's a whole other issue...
I personally find all these organized, like minded communities creepy. It reminds me of Waco and Jonestown.
Again, keep in mind that the Amish have pulled this off for 150 years and have done pretty well. The communes of the 60s all collapsed and the religious based "refuges" have collapsed.
There are currently many towns in the near west/midwest that essentially have people of like mind living there already. They are, for the most part, hard working, religious people who believe in the Constitution. I guess it would be easier just to move to one of those communities.
He voted for both of them. And please, don't waste your time telling me that he didn't because he did.
Again, all this talk about building libertarian communities and secession will go away when the black dude does.
Agreed, I can remember when the lunatic Beck proclaimed that President Obama had a deep seated hatred of white people based on nothing more than the voices he hears in his head.
Oh, and the FEMA camps can't forget about the FEMA camps.
It is obvious that Glenn Beck is a crazy racist or he just knows that there is good money to be fleeced from the rubes by acting like one.
Won't they still have to follow all federal and state laws, and pay taxes? Basically it's a subdivision.
Yep, a subdivision with the most horrible HOA and bylaws imaginable. It would have worked a lot better for Beck and his fans if race based deed restrictions were still legal. The way I see it, Beck's plan is to setup the ultimate white flight community with a special appeal to the aging teabaggers that can't handle the societal and demographic changes that have taken place in the last few decades. They can't take America back at the ballot box, so they are hoping that they can form their perfect little white dominated 1950s utopian version of America somewhere in Texas.
I forget the street he will be livng on, but the number of his house is 999.
I think Beck will be on the same street, number 666.
