For a mere $2B.
I'm sure Glenn's not going to put up the money himself. Like Mitt Romney, who couldn't be bothered to spend his own cash to be elected President, Glenn's funding will doubtless come from True Believers.

Yes, the modern GOP is a gigantic scam, and Glenn is one of the slicker scammers going. Imagine if he and Sarah Palin were to team up ... it would be like a gigantic vacuum cleaner sucking money out of the wallets of conservative donors nationwide!
Right Wing Watch describes Beck's Libertarian utopia thus:
On his program last night, Beck revealed that his intention to "go Galt" is quite literal, unveiling grandiose plans to create an entirely self-sustaining community called Independence Park that will provide its own food and energy, produce television and film content, host research and development, serve as a marketplace for products and ideas, while also housing a theme park and serving as a residential community.
At the center -- in the middle of the lake that is itself larger than all of Disney Land - Beck (with the help of David Barton) will create a massive "national archive"/learning center where people can send their children to be "deprogrammed" and elected officials can come to learn "the truth."
Deprogrammed? Glenn Beck is going to deprogram children? Somewhere the conceptual parents of the word "irony" weep as their child is exhumed from its grave to be once again murdered by a Republican.
