You offer a fairly good view of the state of Idaho. No pun intended. The real question might be your present State and the reason for moving there vs OK as the previous location if I understand your home page.
I forgot the Lt Governor does offer the same stark contrast. It’s unfortunate that She and Ammon couldn’t have come to agreement on mutual support and one candidate running vs both on the ticket which we know can water down the vote so Brad wins the easy way.
The thousands of parade viewers weren’t all queer. Romans 1:32
We can pray for answers, but when they come, we have to act on them.
:: The question is, how do we stop it? ::
Bigotry is STILL protected by the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution, as if the public voicing of that bigotry.
Tell them they are NOT wanted, any where.
Publicly voice your disgust and displeasure, every where.
Freedom of the Press cannot overrule freedom of speech; co-opt “on scene” reporting for your messsage.
Reject and refuse to be “shamed” by labels and someone else’s moral codes.
You are free, act like it.
I know the history of the Bundy’s because I have lived in Nevada for 23 years and followed their feud with the government since it began. I have been aware of Ammon’s “adventures” for a lot longer than he has lived in Idaho.
Nice try at a cheap shot.
Finicum was a hero.
The Left (the enemy) has weaponized the bigotry issue, making it difficult to use without causing some in our ranks to doubt the nobility and righteousness of our cause.
Hating the sin but not the sinner is our secret weapon against weaponized bigotry.
HAHAHAHAHA NICE TRY!!!!
And where did the gays in California come from? That’s right, states like yours!!!
Lib ‘Rats metasticized from California. N.East States are doing the same.
They destroy everywhere they move. Happening in Georgia, N. Carolina, Texas other Southern States. Even Florida should be concerned.
They move for economic reasons but keep their liberal social ideas.
Haven’t we figured out by now that voting for the usual Republicans leads to Chains when we need folks not associated with the Political Establishment to bring Change.
Hasn’t Donald Trump taught us anything or is it just a one person personality cult?
And I support President Trump by the way.
His example must be emulated by millions down to the localest of levels.
I don’t deal in cheap shots. It takes mind reading on both sides to make that determination. So, I also don’t deal in mind reading. I wouldn’t have a clue what the cheap shot is supposed to be.
As to the hero status of LaVoy Finicum, I agree. The way he became such was his friendship with the Bundy’s and their long standing issues with the BLM specifically and Government in General. You will also know that they made efforts to pay their grazing fees for years while the rogue Southern Utah office of the BLM was running amuck in their part of the country driving ranchers off their land to the point of the Bundy’s being the last working ranchers in that part of Nevada.
One can only wonder what “adventures” you are referring too, while the Bundy’s were up to their you know what in BLM alligators attempting to drive them off their land as they had succeeded doing with numerous others. There is a lot to digest but the roots of most of the trouble began with the Sagebrush Rebellion caused by the US Governments retention of large percentages of State Lands of the twelve Western States versus the Eastern States where an average of only five percent of State lands remained in Federal hands.
I seem to recall the Jarbidge road closure issue in Northern Nevada as an incident covered heavily on Freerepublic and attended by a much revered Freeper from Idaho. I believe it was the Jarbidge shovel brigade. One of many issues that were part of the Sagebrush Rebellion. It’s only going to continue as long as the US Government continues to abuse the States and “We the People” that should be Sovereign over the Fed rather than the other way around.
The FReeper for your thinking about is Jeff Head. I think he probably passed he hasn’t been active since 2019. He reported he had a health issue before that.
I’m not going to get into discussing the Bundy’s any further. It’s all out there on the net, much of it on the FR, for anyone who wants to research it.
