Glenn Beck proposes new community founded in liberty, then outlines a long list of restrictions.

He'll dictate which stores can operate there, what you can eat on the 4th of July, what music to listen to, and the kind of yard you'll be allowed to have.

Jon Stewart has the deets.

3. Beck is a great commedian. It amazes me how he can say the most ridiculous things

. . . with a straight face and even while sounding concerned, hopeful and idealistic.

The idea of "freedom" from the far right is really silly, but Beck really hammered it. Did I hear him say that he was putting his little community in Idaho. That was a nice touch, or am I the only one who remembers how neo-Nazis used to hang out there twenty or thirty years ago? Yes, sir, when he says "freedom," he really means the freedom to be a white racist Christofascist.

I don't know what Jon Stewart was doing in the video. Did Beck need him to explain the irony of what he was saying?

This is really funny stuff. Thanks for posting.

4. That was a great segment.

Any of these "communities" actually manage to get off the ground, I predict they'll quickly end in angry lawsuits, criminal charges, or even tragedy.

5. There will be bloodshed for sure

People will be shot for certain. If they can't have gun shows without shooting each other, then they surely can't live together in safety.

In the end, there will be honor killings.

6. GlennBeckistan would be the most violent place on the face of the earth.
