Glenn Beck Tells Conservatives to Buy Guns, Farms

On his web-based radio show, today, Glenn Beck warned conservatives about the aftermath of President Obama's re-election victory (video below).

Beck went into alarm mode saying: "We don't have the luxury of time." He told his audience to start buying farmland, pull their kids out of the public schools and purchase guns, reports RightWingWatch.org.

Beck said: "I don't know how my industry is going to survive… I won't make a deal with the devil... Your religion is going to come under attack... Get the hell out of the east... Get your kids out of the schools that are indoctrinating them... May I highly suggest you get grandfathered into the Second Amendment today and don't forget the ammunition."

He's got more of a serial killer mentality than a cult leader mentality. He has a small group of deranged followers sure.

that so many have been brainwashed into the belief that no liberal would ever own guns. I live in a very rural area where almost everyone is a gun owner, regardless of political affiliation. It is my understanding that this is common across the country. Where do they come up with these ideas to begin with??

It's almost as though it's assumed that Democrats and melting guns down for scrap are one in the same.

Nope.

Anyone who would listen to this crazy ass loon doesn't have the brains God gave a piss ant! This guy is insane, period, and anyone who takes him serious, who would follow his advice has got to be insane also. With clowns like Beck, Limbaugh, and of course all the idiots at fox news, it's no wonder the republican party is going implode! All of them should be locked up in a nut house and throw away the key!

Too many years being a couch potato, though, have put said person into a scooter. Never was into that physical labor stuff. I was the one who did all of that. Likes to whine and be waited on, her husband used to do it and now he can't, so he's in the doghouse. She feels 'put upon' now.

Guess Beck is thinking that his listeners are in better shape. They can join the New Klan that was covered by Nightline, I think and in the V & MM forum. They'd fit right in, being 'white.' Too bad they love feudalism so much, sick.

He has been president for four years. The next four years will be like the past four years. No one is going to attack anyone's religion or take anyone's guns over the next four years, just like they didnt' over the past four years.

I wish Glenn Beck would buy a farm and dig a deep hole, then buy a gun, use it on himself and bury himself. It is not a stretch to say this because he is already a zombie.

I know you're expecting the big pogrom against conservatives to happen any minute now. First things first, it will never happen. Second, if it did, do you really feel like you all are going to have any chance? You'd have hunting rifles and shotguns against M4s, M60s and most importantly fighter jets and drones. That war would be over in ten seconds and you know it. So why don't you just suck it up and dream ahead to the inevitable Republican presidency that will happen within your lifetime.
