Glenn Beck: New Jersey is a rathole

The new Republican Party hates Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln. (4.00 / 3)

That might sound like hyperbole, but boy is it true.

Furthermore (0.00 / 0)

You might notice that David Cameron, the Conservative leader in the UK, is perhaps in league with most moderate Democrats. Which goes to show how far out of the mainstream the regular GOP has gone.

I don't understand (0.00 / 0)

what his point is.  Has there been a pent-up demand for land in Nevada that I'm totally unaware of?

I've always thought Mr. Douchewater was an idiot.  As my brother likes to remind me, "Figures don't lie, but idiots do - with numbers."

The Navajo reservation in NM, Ut, and Az covers something like sixteen million acres.  White Sands Missile Range accounts for another 3200 square miles.  This doesn't account at all for any of the national forests or grasslands.

Anyhow, his math skills suck.  The 1.9% of Texas that the federal government owns works out to be some 5,107 square miles.  Connecticut, for comparison, is a total of 5,543 square miles.  Rhode Island is only 1,545.  NJ is 8,729 square miles (of which some 270 square miles is owned by the feds).

Sooooo...I wouldn't say that Texas are particularly hostile to the federal government owning property there.

I like NJ more when Beck hates it (4.00 / 1)

Anyone taking BecKKK seriously (0.00 / 0)

should have their driving privileges revoked.
He really is nothing more than a fascist propagandist and poor excuse for a Voodoo doll.

Restore democracy and the Constitution for which it stands.

With the rampant corporatism that the Beckster preaches .... (0.00 / 0)

it is surprising that we do not have more toxic waste dumps here than we do.  He really doesn't care if the entire rest of the country becomes a super-fund site, as long as it doesn't happen near his gated community.
