LOL great post!

Also, what kind of social life could a person like him have in a place that is rife with “progressives”?

[lowtaxsmallgov]

What do you mean ‘rife with “progressives”’?

There are plenty of conservatives in New York City, you can trust me on this, because I know all of them. The five of us meet for drinks/dinner every other Wednesday night.

I read something last night that said Glenn is moving to Texas.

[Ripliancum]

Texas, that would be cool.

He'd fit right in. As of 2009, one in 87 Texans is LDS. Here's the stats.

Members, 278,492
Stakes, 53
Wards, 425
Branches, 117
Districts, 3
Missions, 8
Temples, 4
Percent LDS, 1.1

Maybe one of the reasons we're in such trouble is we're more concerned with political pedigree and name recognition than we are with electing leaders. IMNSHO, it's well past time we stop doing things the way we've been doing it for 235 years, and start doing things that will work. I mean, electing governors, senators, vice presidents and flag officers -- in other words, electing politicians -- has gotten us to where we are today, so maybe it's time we start electing businessmen, field grade officers, and "Joe the Plumbers". IOW, we need to elect leaders instead of pedigreed politicians.

Had LTC West been a flag officer, I'd probably not vote for him, because once an officer pins on a star, he becomes a politician. You could even say that once an officer pins on eagles, he's a politician in training, or a wanna-be politician. What appeals to me about LTC West, Herman Cain and Donald Trump is that they're not politicians, they're real world leaders.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Thanks STARWISE.

I’m betting some of the scum-sucking bottom-feeders threatened his wife, kids, or staff.

Spooky Dude?

Laundered through several of the 300+ "Charitable" organizations he funds?

[mojitojoe]

It sounds to me like somebody got to him. Threats? It was right after he went after Soros that this major change of events took place.

the author sucks. but Beck see that you can’t beat evil without a fight. He wants out of NYC because that is no place to be when thing get worse and for him personally people are against him there so he doesn’t feel safe. That and he has plans to help America. yeah Glenn’s all over the map. But he wants to do something drastic to save America.

[who knows what evil?]

...and, isn’t Texas a state without state income taxes?

No income tax in Tennessee, either...and the property taxes are a hell of a lot lower than Texas.
