Glenn Beck wants to kick California out of the Union
Ah, feel the eliminationism:
Glenn Beck told his Fox News audience today that he wants to remove California as one of the 50 American states.
Beck: OK, there's something driving me to the edge of insanity, makes blood shoot right out my eyes, and that is California.
California today, they voted against offshore drilling. Not on their land, or their shore, no. They also voted last week to raise emissions standards because it's too smoggy there and they care about the trees. Also, uh, in the stimulus, we found out today, it appears as though Hollywood can get a, um, bailout, from you and me, because nobody's going to see their movies. Hmmph! You'd think maybe they should just make better movies, and then we'd all go. But no no, let's bail them all out.
The Civil War taught us that, apparently, U.S. states can't secede from the Union. I'd like to test that one again maybe sometime. But what I'd like to know is if the Union has the right to kick out states. Because if so, I'd like to take a star right out of our flag, and California is it.
From eco-warriors running the state and ruining it to Hollywood projecting their family values and politics on the U.S., and illegal immigration driving them into bankruptcy, the Golden State drives me out of my mind, and I don't think I'm alone.
I'm sure his defenders will say he was just using hyperbole and it was all a joke. That's what all good eliminationists say.
That book of mine (due out in May) is looking more timely all the time.
I would sooner see Glenn Beck secede (leave the U.S.). The average I.Q. of the remaining population would move up a notch.
I've generally thought of secession as a bad thing. Until now. For the good of the country, I'd be happy to see Beck secede...right into a padded room.
So it is ok, for other states to bear the brunt of Oil and Gas exploration and development, while California refuses to help even a little, but uses the fuel for transportation? Talk about a NIMBY attitude. It is true about the bailout for Hollywood, so why aren't those issues addressed? Have you noticed how many political left wing movies have come out of Hollywood lately? Guess what? They all bombed, no wonder they need a bailout...
You know, good idea. In fact, I think other countries should follow the same policy. Hoard the oil! Why give it to thankless Americans like us?
live in an oil producing state, you have nothing to worry about :)
Just make sure you keep all the pollution in your state. Why should we have to breathe in the fumes from pollution you make?
United States, man. Let's not play Hatfields and McCoys.
Since when doesn't California "bear the brunt"? CA sends in $1.00 to the federal government, get $0.89 back. Kentucky sends in $1.00 and gets over $1.50 back. The way I see it, they are doing more than their share. Maybe KY should take a big hit along with Alaska which gets almost 2.00 for every dollar sent in.
Yeah and your complaint about "recent" liberal Hollywood movies is full of shit too. Right wing wide-stancers like yourself have been crying liberal since the sixties. So you would have to exclude all the blockbuster years Hollywood has had from then to now.
No, you're just another mouth breathing retard that needs to go back to redstate.org or whatever shit hole you crawled out of :)
Fact that you can't even comprehend what I am writing about shows how out of touch you are. Where are you getting your facts? By all means provide a link to some sort of credible evidence.
Maybe California should open up there coast. Do you even fathom the amount of jobs that would create? I am not just talking people working on the platforms out there, but fabrication jobs, support facilities, docks, helicopters,new businesses opening to create tools and supplies in support of the industry. California would have a job boon like we have not seen for decades.
As for movies, where have you been? Did you not see or hear about the dozens of war movies that failed at the box office(which portrayed GWB in a bad light of course)last year? Where have you been?
And let me tell you my friend, I love this land here. I will never live anywhere else. I live on the coast, and have all my life. I will retire in Mexico(Baja). It's still California.
I suppose your for drill now ,drill here. Go for it. Not in my state. We;ve seen what happens when they run amuk drilling offshore. Perhaps you remember what happened in 69 in Santa Barbara. Jobs? I'd rather see us lead the way in a more eco friendly source of energy. That will provide jobs as well.
Califonia has an infinte source of energy. It's called people.
We The People.
Most people think we're all space cases.
We're not. That's why so many people want to come here.
We're not perfect. But we ain't half bad either.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
I understand the reluctance, but the oil and gas industry have made strides in safety and protocols many times over. It's not the oilfield of 69 anymore. If you can find an energy source that is Eco friendly and power the entire country, by all means let me know and share it. Why can't you do both? Why does it have to be one or the other? The more energy, the more options, the better for everyone.
I'll tell you what. We'll take all the new technology. And work on the newer technology. You can drill all you want in your backyard(state). To this very day , if you walk on the beaches of Santa Barbra county. You Will get tar on your feet. Make no mistake, those things are still leaking. Have you ever heard of a place called "Gualala" Check out how much money they gave Lundgren.
There are huge lakes of oil and by products just sitting there. They bought Dan Lundgren when he ran for Gov. Because they wanted a pass on cleaning it up.
Thanks but no thanks.
I realize it's going to take us a long time to get completely off of oil.
The sooner we start, the sooner we're off of it.
And that has direct implications of what could happen with the Middle East. National Security John.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
I am not saying I am against Eco friendly fuels and energy, I am saying while in the process of building this Eco friendly energy why not use what we have? It will take decades to provide enough Eco friendly energy to provide for the entire country.I am sure you can agree on this at least.
I was watching Larry King one evening ,when he had one of the CEO's from Chevron on.
This guy said that Calif is elf reliant on it's own oil sources. I find that hard to believe. But the mad did say that. So, you see, Calif doesn't need anyone. We are self sufficient.
As for the rest of the country, Do what you have to do. We are.
Please forgive my typing and punctuation. I'm very tired this evening.
I'm gone now. Have a good evening. be well.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
California's offshore oil production does NOT make the state energy independent. The Chevron guy flat out lied. California has, what, the Earth's sixth largest economy. And your Chevron guy bloviates that big energy spender California produces enough oil to not have to import any? Let's see the stats on this, eh?
"...Money Trumps Peace..." G.W. Bush, 2007
The Chevron guy mine. He's certainly not my guy. I said I find that hard to believe.
But the man did say that. I suppose you could find it in Larry King's archives.
I also found this comment very puzzling .
None the less, he did in fact say that.
Last time I counted there were 13 rigs in the Santa Barbara channel. Hardly enough to make a dent in Calif usage. Not to mention all the other rigs in So Cal.
I'd find the link for you, but I'm exhausted. Long ,difficult work week.
The thing I find disturbing is that last summer when Gas prices went through the roof the GOPers were all for drilling anywhere anytime. In particular, off of the coast of California. Now that prices have dropped. Well, lets just say it's gotten quite a bit quieter.
But of course some people will still try to make it happen. Even though, they got duped. And still don't see that they were duped.
At anyrate, look in Larry Kings archives. It's in there. I think the man had an Irish surname.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
I'd still like to know the "dozens" of war movies that bombed last year. I see a lot of movies; think I saw one, maybe two, war movies last year. Sorry I missed the other dozens!
http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/22...
I was off also. Their (latest)California number is $0.78, trending down.
Exactly what I was thinking.
That was my first thought too. Go ahead Glenn you go right ahead and pack your bags and secede off to somewhere where they properly appreciate worthless incompetent hacks who are always wrong.
Wrong state Glenn. Let's kick Texas out. And once you and all of your wing-nut friends have renounced your US citizenship and moved there, we apply the Bush doctrine.
ysbaddaden? :-(
Study the symptoms not the virus...
Easy pal. I'm from Texas and I'm a dirty fucking hippie. There's more here than you think.
certainly improved Texas's image for me. . .
I agree, and I'm from Texas myself! If that happened, the good Texans like Jim Hightower et al, would probably leave and the state could fester in its own ignorance. Too bad the people are so awful there, because the land itself is beautiful.
I've met 2 very nice women from there. Boaf ov um.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
Well, sheet... then lets you and me (California) start our own Country. I think Ca has an independent economy that is pretty impressive... so, you guys down there, kick the Bushies out and we'll have our own nice little Country. Maybe we'll need Colorado... they got mosta the water.

Really? I need a link for that, David.
I've know apologists for Rush, BillO and even Savage, but I've never read a defense of Beck anywhere.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
who think California is a hotbed of perversion. I for one would welcome returning to the Great Nation of Califia. Technological power house, revenues from the military bases.... nukes.....
You are not welcome here in CA. Now go play on the double yellow line like a good boy.
Michigan will join with Canuckistan. They may be others.
Mostly south of the Mason Dixon we will leave to Dumb Fuckistan, the capital can be in Texas.
Beck can go there, he will fit right in.

Nothing against Canadians, but I'd rather go it alone out of Lansing than live under a monarchy, constitutional or not.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
healthcaring socialist shitehole.
Your healthcare seems to be great! And their are other positives, too, so numerous that I'm not going to bother to list 'em.
But I've got a sense of egalitarianism that doesn't allow me to bow to anyone in my home.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
why you feel that way Andy. I've said before, the Queen has absolutely no power in Canada at all. It's all just a big pageant. I'm surprised that someone would feel that way, in a nation that idolizes the position of President. Threaten a Prez in the US and there will be consequences. Threaten the Queen here, and most people laugh and agree.
US Inaugurations have far more in common with a monarchy than anything Canada does.
Sure, both ceremonies are full of pomp (and I'm sure pomp means something that fits here, but I'll be damned if I could define the word right now), but on Inauguration day we celebrate what we, the people, have done. When the heir to the throne is crowned, the UK and the Commonwealth are celebrating the winner of the sperm lottery.
And, again, sorry, but I think it's fundamentally wrong to select MY head of state (whether the position is powerless or not) on any criterion other than merit and ability.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
There is no need for a monarch in any nation, but she has absolutely no say over anything that goes on in Canada politically or otherwise. She's just a figurehead England wants to hold on to, so they remember the old days when they were the superpower. Other than that, she does nothing. Smile and wave.
In my opinion, if Canada really had any say, I'd kick the royal bloodline to the curb. But, like I said, the only influence they have on Canada is cosmetic. We are more influenced by the US than any other nation on the globe.
in anything that goes on here in the UK either!
It's my belief that the monarchy is living on borrowed time. As Britain becomes a more and more diverse society, fewer people care about the royals (honest to God, I think people in the States care more about them than people here do).
A lot of Australians want to ditch the Queen as their titular head of state too. Bring it on and let's do it here too, I say. Or keep them as tourist attractions and pay them a salary that's more in keeping with their actual abilities.
I've bitched and moaned for years about useless fringe members of the royal family picking up a paycheck for doing absolutely-bloody-nothing. When Windsor Castle burned back in the 90s and we taxpayers had to foot the bill for repair because they didn't even keep insurance on the damn thing, I felt like storming the gates and torching Buck Palace myself.
Don't even get me started on Prince Charles.
Mark my words: The day that Charles rises to the throne is the day when the Commonwealth nations will be talking about independence from the monarchy
fancy bag lady.
me-oww!
the first thing we do is fire the queen when someone replied.
There are other things we will need to change.
There is more in common than with down in Dumb Fuckistan, that is for certain.
So there you have it.

we don't want Michigan, but we'll take California. At least it's warm!!
no border crossing to come visit scenic Detroit.

Prob one of the few Canadians that doesn't mind the place. Got lost there once. Ended up in a poorly lit bar, seeing nothing but white eyes staring at me. Nicest people I ever met. We laughed over a beer that they knew there was no way I was from the US or I wouldn't have been in their neighbourhood.
Good cereal as well!:-)

What's wrong with Michigan? We were pivotal in the labor movement. We are a true blue lib state, and we have 20% of the worlds fresh water in our yard! Let's see how important we are in the future when water becomes more scarce.
Our state is beautiful, with many different types of ecosystems. And besides, I love snow. So piss off!

I would love to let the remaining red state morons seceede.
After about three years, the blue states would be thriving (no more repukes to obstruct), while the red state idiots would all be homeless, unemployed, and eating dog shit out of Wal Mart trash dumpsters to survive.
The Bushes and the Cheney's would be trillionaires, and pay NO taxes, and the red state dumbfucks would still be listening to Beck and cursing us libruls.
But at least they wouldn't be able to fuck up our country anymore!

Though perhaps not the way you intended.
"And you know another thing that drives me nuts? Libruls! And another one is taxes! And..."
The sound of an unoriginal mind evacuating itself.
Let's just say that there is definitely a Freudian element to eliminationism.
This is so typical of Democrats. Whenever they get into the lead, they fail to lead, and instead focus on the opposition. We have been giving so much web time to Republican douche bags and know nothings this last week or so.
It's like Democrats don't know how to lead or something. So we get all defensive and are responding to every critic we have. Why don't we just lead and get this country back. Dennis Kucinich is making news and is being ignored.
I understand taking on the opposition from time to time, but this seems like a fascination born out of something feeling like an inferiority complex. When Bush and Republicans lead, they just lead and ignore or say screw the opposition. Democrats need to get comfortable with the idea of having power.
Republicans seem uncomfortable out of power. And most Democrats and Progressives seem uncomfortable in power. Luckily we have Barack Obama becaues he doesn't exhibit these characteristics.
the election is over, and there is fear that the one massive bill that will be passed in the next 4 years will be a flop????
But I'm ready to lead and leave the likes of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh in the dust. I understand having to slap them down once in awhile when they rear their obnoxious heads, but other than that there are goals needed to be met and issues needed to be discussed.
That's why the global economy is right screwed. Every nation is so focused on partisan bullsh*t, they are not doing anything to actually change things.
how are you going to slap them down, other than by documenting every time they say something like "let's kick California out of the union" or "I want Obama to fail"?
You have a point. It might work to ultimately give them a knock out punch that they never recover from. I question the same thing with Keith Olbermann taking on O'Reilly so often. He seems to be tenaciously reducing him to a clown. So maybe C&L knows what it is doing here. I hope that's the case. Because I honestly believe people like Rush, Glenn, and O'Reilly are damaging to our Country and I'd like to see them defeated or marginalized.
I just don't want to empower them be focusing so much on them. It might be one way or the other. And I agree. They do provide entertainment once in awhile :)
If I were Obama, I'd start by restoring the FCC to integrity.
[Deleted. Abusive. Please keep it civil. Thank you. Site Monitor]
your truthfull news then?
I love this place. I just question this recent fascination with the wing nuts.
but your point is reasonable.
I mean 'Crooks' and 'Liars' Where do most of the newsmaking crooks and liars lay their pointy haids at night? In GOP land.
It's not a fascination, it's a mission statement.
me-oww!
Liars=MSM. Beck is a heinous liar, Orangutan.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Sometimes I do lack a proper sense of humor when it comes to this political stuff. And it is FRIDAY NIGHT. So I should probably relax and enjoy the lunatic tactics of this guy named Beck. Luckily there's an effective and intelligent opposition to goons like this. And that's called this thread here and group of people. So. I hope you take it with a grain of salt or whatever that saying means.
Speaking of brew. I think I need a few. BBL.
welcome to take a hit on this, Orangutan.
Now where are my Cheetos?

john was one of the first to post vids of these idiots spewing their bile
you see, during the clinton years, before the blogs really hit it....these guys would go unanswered
now...we can answer and attack...atttack....attack
I agree with you that focussing on the opposition is counterproductive when there's an agenda to pass. And I'm also glad that Barack Obama is smart enough to be more grown-up than this.
But still, come on... this stuff is just hilarious! I don't tune into C&L just for serious politics, I like the funny stuff too. And you gotta admit, this sort of right-wing implosion is just rich in schadenfreude...
Because I agree and your point is well taken. Comedy is imperative in this life and I like the word hilarious whenever I read it as well. Take care.

It's human nature- Even when a person has everything, they will still find things to gripe about- that could be why we are always striving to better ourselves.
Why don't you tell us what Kucinich is about
Good intuition about what is going on by the way.
Ratings on his new FOX show than Olbernutz and Maddow, combined? While I don't want to kick them out of the union I do wish we could deport the Californians from Arizona and build a wall at the border.
with the clinically insane crowd and incarcerated crowd that only
have Faux channels available?
Prove it, provide links, statistics, etc.
Just cause you say it does not make it so.
Well, most of the people from Flagstaff are welcome.
It was predicted: if Obama won, wingnut heads would pop. And now it's happening. It's hilarious. They dig themselves deeper into irrelevancy with every batsh*t-crazy shriek.
Keep up the posts, guys. Never have I enjoyed reading wingnut rants as much as this!

they are very concerned about CA environment, as well they should be.

In California we are not lost and we are the most educated state. Repubs here as oppposed to elsewhere are more centrist and do in fact understand the value of a virgin redwood forest. It is people like Ben Gleck that confuse the issue. And most problems in Cal are from Fed cov mandates that are ignored elsewhere.
Think the port city of New Orleans.
It'd be much easier if POS Beck would leave. Really.

Cool! Fifth largest economy. We will be fine. I suggest for starters after the secession we tax the snot out of all the shipping transit that has to pass through from our ports.
I dont want to secede, really, but once again, Mr Beck cant see much further than his brow.
the oil that comes to Cali and is processed here. At the Richmond facility. Also all the fressh food leaving our DRY land to parts east. Hmmm could be expensive.
I will support removing Canada on the condition Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, and every other conservative dickweed renounces their citizenship and leaves. I believe that would be fair equivalent exchange.
And as soon as they're gone, we'll bring Cali back in. SUCKERS!
cali's gdp is larger than most companies...we have our own oil...we give more in fed taxes than come back to the state
what is wrong with california?
well for one, the repugs, not liking the fact that one dem had way too much power, pushed for term limits...that only polarized the legislature that much more
then, they didnt like gray davis, and so created faux reasons to have him recalled....and good lord, they got a worse gray davis in the form of ahnold....
ahnold is an incompetent who played right wing nazi until that didnt work for him...so he outspent gray 10 fold
im missing something...where is the bailout for hollywood...did beck just add that to sound smart?
you dont ever have to visit here glen...despite the fact that you got your start here
who would support Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas and all the under productive states in the union if not Cali?
Beck is a fuckin mouth breather.
me-oww!
but you got it
Ok. I'm good with that. Let's start the process.
Dave
Viet Vet
is off of santa barbara...one of the more conservative areas in the state
and it isnt about drilling....they wont drill...oil prices are too low
they want control of leases
the guy is a fucktard
in the santa barbara channel?
There were active rigs all over out there when I left in '84. They weren't drilling new holes, but they were still pumping. At night, driving along the coast, there were these tiny, isolated gleeming lights way off shore. they could have been ships, but as you drove, you kknew they were stationary...there were dozens of 'em...
And there are offshore and onshore wells all over Ventura County (another conservative area). How dare we want water we can swim in and air we can breathe!
I'm really sick of these America-hating loudmouths. If Beck hates this country so much he should leave.
:)
Beck is like an even more stupid version of Andy from the office.
Speaking as a Californian, I think this is a great idea. Let's get started!
I think California would LOVE to leave. Why would we want to stay in a union that still pays any attention to the GOP?
Oh. And we get to keep all the food. =)
luckily, he'd be wearing his magic holy whities...
I love when someone is willing to show that they are stupid on national TV! This guy is too much he's actually mad because we don't want to breath shit...and we don't want to ruin our "glorious chunk of real estate" with off shore drilling that won't help our energy problem if we did drill.
And how fitting for these chumps to eat America to finish this nonsense...hey Glenn...EAT ME!
First, he'd be driven to the side of "sanity," cause damned sure is insane prior to this episode.
beck and his dramatics. this is another variation of the same theme......bad mouth California/liberals.
sorry beck no one is listening. i know you want us to over react. it's not going to happen. California is a
very important state to the union......you idiot. yes, more important than Utah.
FoxNews, the effing cowards, used the question mark! HAHAHAHA!
"We NEVER, EVER said that we should kick California out of the Union and we resent that charaterization! We only posited the question that THE MAJORITY of Americans were thinking, even if they didn't know it or say out loud! Look to the question mark, librul scum!"
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
I thought there was no such thing as a stupid question.
"Someday somebody related to some of these sufferers, these victims, these collaterally damaged souls, may try to kill you. And I have to tell you, I think you’ll have it coming." - Christopher Cooper
Very good. I think I will have to keep that in mind every time FuxNews employs that stupid question mark tactic.
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
Yeah and fauks news should have thought of their sponsors prior to this shit storm of ignorance.
As a Californian, I'd happily secede from the union. DC is broken and these people have no idea how to run a country. CA puts far more money into the federal government than it pulls out in benefits, so there's a monetary benefit. CA has liberal politics that don't seek to piss off the rest of the world, so there's an international relations benefit. And California doesn't need a bunch of assholes in DC who represent the fundamentalist Christian perspective being thrust upon us, so there's a societal benefit.
Please! Kick us out!
I really don't know what to say about this one - I guess all I can come up with is...
Fuck you, Glenn Beck.
Just... fuck you.
Before enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment - chop wood, carry water.
Well said.
...even on the propaganda network. He is totally looney. The clips from the last two or three days have been enough to get him canned. I realize the bar is pretty low at the propaganda network, and the pickings is thin...but this guy is a disgrace even to that pathetic network.
I just had a similar thought, in that it is so funny that a cable channel that professes to be a news outlet even has a show with a name like Edge of Insanity. I mean, how "dignified".
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
how did the price of your book drop on Amazon by 4 bucks if it isn't released yet? And where can I get a signed copy?
all for states rights and shit? Does he live in California? WTF should he care?
Glenn Beck eats butter sticks and plastic.
...the finances for every state? Because with all of this trash talk about California, I'm having trouble believing that Beck's home state of Washington is a slice of paradise.
And Glenn, you might want to get that face twitch and "blood coming out of the eyes" thing checked by a doctor. Pretty sure it's a stroke.
Wait. You need a brain to have a stroke.
Sounds kind of Christocentric to me.

Look what those enviro whiners have helped to preserve. Old growth Redwoods, pristine uninterrupted coastlines and wildlife sanctuaries. Beck wants to sacrifice a few barrels of oil for this?
This is a beautiful state.
"Beck: OK, there's something driving me to the edge of insanity"
Edge? Sport, you've been over the "edge" for a long time now.
WAIT a MINUTE, isn't California the SIXTH largest economy in the world......does he want us to go back to the Dark Ages?
Where *I* live in California, we have an abundance of refineries. We also have these things called ports, where stuff that gets shipped into the U.S., from cars to toys, gets transported from. We have fields that produce fruit and vegetables.
Go ahead, throw us out. We'll keep it all.
That includes the shrine to your saint, Ronald Reagan.
I'm afraid we'll have to arrest Rick Warren, Ward Connerly, John Yoo, Condoleezza Rice, Kenneth Starr, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Melanie Morgan, Lee Rodgers, Michael Savage, Brian Sussman, and a host of other prominent conservatives as traitors to the Republic of California. Considering we're also home to San Quentin Prison, we've got a place to put them, even.
On the other hand, maybe you should read the fracking Constitution. If you or any of your loony-tunes friends decide to foment rebellion or other niceties that we now call domestic terrorism, the Government of the United States defaults to protecting the State of California and its people. You, on the other hand, will be remanded to the custody of your home state for criminal prosecution.
... we also have these odd facilities like:
Travis AFB, Edwards AFB, Miramar AFB, and we might even have a Blackwater summer camp. You don't need those for fighting terrorism, do you?
Oh, we also have the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant. Y'all have fun burning your clean coal.
I was stationed at Edwards AFB for four years.
Or as we called it, "Eddie's Air Plane Patch."

Also, we're still cleaning up oil from that little accident off Santa Barbara in the '60s. Maybe Beck would be happy to put an oil well in HIS back yard.
What a moron. California has a huge economy which means we generate more than our fair share of tax revenue.
Kicking California out of the union would do wonders for our budget crisis -- We could go "Canada" on defense (i.e. spend next to nothing and let Glenn Beck worry about terrorism) and spend all the money that used to go to the IRS in state.
Only an idiot would wish that rich states like California (e.g. New York) out of "real 'merica".
and you know that californians would love to legalize the evil weed...its only been the fed that has been stopping us
also, hollywood is the greatest exporter of all industries
think of what happens when we keep all the jobs here
we can lower the tax rate, as none of our monies now go to the fed...and thereby increase revenue
we can charge fees for anyone crossing our border
we would be able to shoot white illegals
we could finally kick out all of the undersirable new yorkers (except for john)
california would again become a paradise
i like becks plan...lets do it
Even Angelina Jolie?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
she'd never do him.
me-oww!
Okay, but that's not exactly my concern.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Not that I am actually wondering.
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
I'm not sure if I would want Angelina to schtupp me or adopt me.

. . .does it mean we no longer have to see Beck & the rest of Faux News on our TVs? If so, I'd be OK with that. We could then make . . uh . . Arnoldbucks real currency

Hmm . . . on second thought . . .
I don't know what state that idiot hick Beck lives in, but you can bet that most of those backward flyover "red" states would utterly collapse if it were not for their dependence on tax dollars paid by californians. As a californian, I would be pleased if our state along with all the Pacific Coast states and the East Coast states would secede and form our own separate country. The remainder of what was once the United States would starve to death and I could only say, "Good riddance!!!:"
Bush, his dad, his grandad (Prescott Bush) has European ties that link to the Nazi master race theroy(Prescott Bush was a Nazi). All of the people that were in power were involved in the Kennedy killings,King killings and European powers, that Bush sold us out to, want to disect America...once and for all. The failure of our economy, the failure of the Mexican economy are all instrumental in this take over. This is a 50 year plan, including Nixon,Reagan(the 666),Bush,Bush...who knows: is Clinton involved? The GOP is dying but the theives that internally killed the republican party are using it as a mask.....Beck,Bimbo,O'reily,Coulter all 20 of the owned broadcasting elements in the country (most of our radio transmissions are owned by 20 companies who took over because of Reagan deregulations) are in this 50 year plan. Russia wants us to go into civil war so they can come in and take over. We need to protect ourselves. This FIGHT, against this DEVIL is threatening. Be Aware.
Awe, who's kidding who, this is another one of those crazy conspiritist theroys. Bush is really, down deep, a good guy. He just bankrupts everything he touches. First California goes, then Alaska (door to Russia) who knows, it's great science friction.
Beck is still spilling the beans. Beck, who wants to challenge a "civil war law" should be arrested for treasonous planning.This mess HAS GOT TO BE CLEANED UP!

Funny how right wingers hate America so much- And in particular, they hate progressive states like California- and my state, Massachusetts, as we are states that believe in liberty and the rights for ALL.
Right wingers think that calling a person from my state a 'Massachusetts liberal' is an insult, but i wear it as a badge of honor.
Beck betrays is elemental ignorance of nearly everything.
I live in Calif., and the only thing I see that suggests liberalism is that we tend not to freak out when we meet a homosexual.
Hahahaha....if Glenn Beck and other paranoids like him are about to bust an artery over us in California, then by all means, kick us out. We'll keep our huge economy, our huge agricultural breadbasket, and the red states will have to mooch off of someone else's tax dollars. ;)
Oh and Glenn, go Cheney yerself!

That's true - as an independent country, California would do just fine. Massive economy, massive exports to the us- food, tech, etc.

Yup. And we might be in a mess right now as a state economically, but maybe we'd have an easier time straightening ourselves out if we were seceeded.
But, I'd rather we stay in the USA, and we should deport Glenn! ;)
