Beck’s gone absolutely nuts. He just had a show detailing what he sees as the worst case scenarios of the next four years, and he and some of the “experts” on the show seem to think kidnappings for ransom are going to become just as common in NYC as they are in Mexico. And apparently the police will be ineffective, so those that can afford it will have to start hiring private security and living in gated communities to avoid the rampant crime wave. Now, I suppose that could be a worst case scenario, but that it could happen in the next few years I find rather unlikely. And the zest in which it was being discussed made me wonder how many of these people already have there shelters ready in preparation for it.
All this secession talk makes me uncomfortable. We all need to step back and allow cooler heads to prevail. I doubt that will happen though, but this extremist rhetoric is hurting more then it helps the situation.
On a side note, I feel like I’m losing any Libertarian credentials I had with this appeal for compromise, ha ha. Ah well.
