Hopefully he'll move there and stay there.

But this line made me LOL:

"There's not going to be a Gap here. There's no Ann Taylor. You want an Ann Taylor, go someplace else," Beck said in a video announcement. The marketplace, Beck says, will be a place for people to create their own businesses and learn from others.

No Ann Taylor? And he calls it a utopia?

And that all nine Republicans voted for the gun control legislation passed yesterday, which might be partially explanatory for how that happens. The Obama vote share was referenced as a marker for Democratic performance in federal elections on Long Island, contrasting with GOP performance at the state level. I could have said no Republican presidential candidate has won either county since 1992 or that the last Republican to win Nassau+Suffolk was GHWB in 1988 or that three of the four Congressmen from Long Island are Democrats to emphasize the Democratic lean of the place when it comes to electing folks to Washington.

Martin Luther King’s Conservative Principles

This article was quite reasonable, and probably because the author doesnt try to equate conservatism with modern GOP policy squabbles.

1. He dreamed of a color-blind society based on the equality of all Americans and their sharing of equal unalienable rights.
2. King explicitly ground his efforts in the Christian tradition. King believed that churches and other faith-based associations were necessary for a grassroots revival of American culture. He also stressed the importance of the family. Indeed, King’s fears about black family breakdown led him to become one of the few civil-rights leaders not to reject Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s controversial 1965 report that warned of rising illegitimacy rates among blacks.
3. King firmly embraced the core principles of America’s founding

When these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters,” King wrote in his “Letter From a Birmingham Jail,” “they were in reality standing up for what is best in the American dream and for the most sacred values in our Judaeo-Christian heritage, thereby bringing our nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the founding fathers in their formulation of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
