This is an interesting article calling attention to the abusive tactics used by people on the far right of the Republican Party to shut out anyone who does not go along with their agenda. Life long Idaho residents and Conservative Republicans are finally pushing back against extremism.

The authors definition of extremism sounds like the DemocRATS’ definition.

Just out of curiosity, why are you posting a thread on the same article that you posted a thread on last month?

I do not have any information about the author except what she wrote in the article.

But this sounds much like a “can’t we all just get along” kind of play.

Where are the principles she stands for?

All I am reading is “Those guys who oppose my ideas are mean!”

She seems to think positioning herself and her group as centrist or mainstream is the key to success.

This site seems to assume that anyone right of center is too far right. Its name is kind of a misnomer.

Yes, it appears there are a number of Idaho folks who have decided to demonize local conservative groups by character assassination, innuendo and name calling. Here’s an article by one of her local “kindred spirits”:

“Citing the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of hate groups, the AP tied multiple groups to the recent antics of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC).”

SPLC...WORST OF the worst..story ended. Methinks Ms Pet-my-bone is an agent provocateur.

SNIFF.

(Who's in charge of the Viking Kitties again? Anyone pretending to be "conservative" would not be giving the SPLC even a microgram's worth of credibility.)

...Samantha Powers' husband, whats-his-face.

Cass Sunstein. Or Podesta's group.

Martyrs are supposed to be dead. Who have these people you’re so worried about killed?

How many of these “middle of the road conservative” types are pushing up daisies?

None you say?

That’s what I thought.

Now go away.

Far away.
