Glenn Beck is Planning a $2 Billion Libertarian Commune in Texas

roninmd

You know how there are people who are republicans in name only but theirs actions are progressive. Like John Mccain ... these people are called RINOs. Well Glenn is a libertarian in name only. He is being used by the MSM as a focal point for making up the "those crazy libertarians" meme. Being an immigrant from the Phillippines I know what brain drain does to a country.

the people who produce and are the "makers" not the takers are sick of getting financially raped and having their constitutional rights taken away from them, and the fact is there are white, black, yellow and brown people included in that group, not just White crackers like you allude to with such justifiable affection and appreciation!

Glen Beck is a complete IDIOT

BurtonCooper

A commune full of gun-toting, blubbering, cantankerous, creationist, old white people celebrating 'white bread goodness' and the sovereignty of the 'little white baby Jesus.'

Oh goody, how do I join and will there be a blood test to verify I am a weepy old paranoid white person?

@vickmichele you're projecting. It's CONSERVATIVES that like everyone to conform. It's Conservatives that don't appreciate diversity. OK, progressive DO believe in social responsibility, inclusion and tolerance. No, lynching, hate crimes, misogyny are all conservative pastimes, that progressives are against. It sure wasn't progressives lying their way into war. It's not progressives who are denouncing Hegel for being too dovish.

akowski1

@scottindallas No, it's actually Progressives that don't like diversity. Just look how they treat blacks that don't adhere to the "groupthink". Most conservatives just see people as... people. This is why for them there is no need to treat separate groups as different, or to split people into as many special interest groups based on identity politics as they can (race, gay, women, immigrant status, etc.) But that's hard to prove, so it's easier for people like you to label them as haters and racists.

@akowski1 @scottindallasHow DO progressives "treat blacks that don't adhere to the "groupthink"?

I'm curious.

@scottindallas @vickmicheleNo one will do anything to this Beck nut unless he starts having sex with 12 year old little girls or aims & fires weapons of war at the state. If he is Waco'd, it will be he who does the "Wacoing" just like Koresh did....Beck is in the same megalomanic messianic trance Koresh was in. Those who follow crazy people are crazy too!

This commune adventure Beck is touting will never happen, Vick, because Beck is in a state of insane fantasy in order to get some attention that he has missed since being sacked by FOX. He misses the adulation and glorification of the FOXIE screwballs and is desperately grasping for their attention and love......

@harleyspoon @scottindallas @vickmichele the agents lied about koresh to make you think he was a crazy pedophile in order to justify the murder of the branch davidians. survivors will tell you that the fed started the fire. they were just people exercising their first and second amendment rights.

@hbeeinc BS there are just as many Libertarians that are abortion nuts as Republicans, as far as Drugs, varying degrees mostly just Pot and like the war on drugs really ever worked, not too much just like prohibition, total failure and and if it was legalized it's not like everyone is going to rush out and shoot up heroin. As far as gays, I think if someone wants to be gay in their bedroom that's up to them as long as they don't push their gayness on someone else. But wait, Romney, the GOP nominee was a pro abort, a gun hater, an Obamacare lover and a big Gov. Spender - nice

Most libertarians, like most xtains, pick and choose which parts to follow. "I'm a libertarian and I want the gov't. OUT of my life. I should be allowed to get stoned, get my gun, find a girl, rape her and start a family. ABORTION IS MURDER!."

I'd consider Libertarian-ism if it weren't for tea-tards like beck not actually understanding the philosophy behind it.

I love the idea, I think we need much more radical experimantation of how communities should function and how we all should live and interact, but..Glenn Beck? No. He uses the term, but doesn't know what it means.

In 2012, we had two of the most libertarian candidates ever, Johnson and Paul. Beck gave them no love.

He did, however, give love to Santorum, someone who has in the past explicitly attacked libertarianism and libertarian ideas.

No, Beck, you are a LINO. You lost the right to use the term libertarian, and it will take more than a couple months to get it back.

Perhaps, behind the walls of his utopia, Beck can relax and not have to worry about having body guards protect him (do to his mass appeal and being loved by all sectors of the population (sarcasm)). Where ever it is it should be close to an international border as to facilitate erecting a wall to separate us from him and his ilk. The people who have envisioned this in the past come to mind-David Koresh and Jim Jones (Remember Glenn grape is the flavor of choice).

@lawsonjoe2008 @scottindallasSheriff Jack Harwell, a friend of mine of long standing, had numerous problems with what Koresh was doing...and so did the DA's office, prior to and at the time of the standoff....There was ample evidence that Koresh broke gun laws and sexually abused minors....Don't revise history. Don't prove yourself to be a paranoid screwball. If a lie has been told, you have just told it or passed someone else's lie on!

Look, I went to school with the original Davidian kids who came to Waco from all over the world in the 50's to be together when the world was to end on a date certain according to their church's calculations...They were nice people. We went to LaVega schools in Bellmead then with the Davidian kids...I knew the members and leaders of the group through the years....One of the subsequent leaders even wanted to run for the US Presidency and he asked me and County Democratic Chairman, Gene Evans, to help with that. We did not! The poor guy was a good guy but politically naive. Once Koresh showed up, he and Koresh eventually fought (with guns) a war over the leadership of the cult...The good guy lost and ended up going nuts and to a prison for the criminally insane in East Texas.

In other words, everything with the Davidian's was fairly okay until Koresh came upon the scene...He started the illegal gun alateration and abuse of the little girls...He was the megalomaniac who brought things to the place of the Branch Davidian demise! He broke laws and law enforcement has no choice but to deal with it...He resisted and set the fires on that fatal day...Koresh was the bad guy in the Davidian saga from the first day he set foot in their midst to the last day of thosse lives...

buddhaflow

@MisterMean Also, it's worth pointing out that there have been thousands of communes in human history. The Jones incident was very much an outlier. Many communes still thrive around the world, and produce a high level of happiness for their members. You should watch less TV and explore the world more.

@MisterMean David Koresh and his followers, including dozens of children, were all burned to death by the government while trying to negotiate a surrender. I don't think you remember your history very well.

harleyspoon

@buddhaflow @MisterMean It is you, buddhaflow, who is trying to revise history. It was Koresh who burned himself and all those innocent children because he was, in his own words, the incarnation of Jesus and he fathered most of those children. He said he would go out in a "blaze of glory" and he made sure of it. Sadly, he took those who did not want to "go out in a blaze of glory" with him...People who chauvinistically and blindly follow crazy people are, themselves, crazy! The children had no choice in the matter because Jesus Koresh, their father, had spoken!!

@lawsonjoe2008 lawsonjoe2008, Koresh had no intention of surrendering from the very beginnng...He, as planned, made sure that fires would be started at various locations in the compound if the FBI and ATF moved toward the compound. He kept his megalomaniac word..Koresh, alone, was the master planner and perpetrator of all the mayhem and death that resulted...

the mormon group assault their kids arguably. The Waco group had jobs in town and weren't near as insular. The local sheriff had no real issues with the Waco Branch Davidians.

scottindallas topcommenter

@MisterMean @buddhaflow there was no evidence of child abuse/sexual abuse, though the gov't lied about that. There was no smoking gun, they weren't planning on doing anything big, at Waco. It was more a case of the gov't surrounding them, blasting heavy metal music around the clock, essentially corning them, and acting "shocked" that they're acting like cornered animals. Waco was a case of over-reach.
