The Idaho Way: Idaho Republican legislators reveal early agenda of fear and loathing (feel good story!)
msn.com ^ | Scott McIntosh, opinion editor

Posted on 01/27/2023 6:06:43 AM PST by cotton1706

If Idaho’s Republican legislators show their priorities by what they address in the opening weeks of the session, the message is clear: They’re scared, and they’re against a lot of things.

They’re scared of gay people, teenagers, drag shows, home invaders, unisex bathrooms and immigrants.

So far, Idaho Republican legislators have introduced bills that would:

prevent the city of Boise from sponsoring the Boise Pride Festival

criminally punish someone filing a false claim of child abuse

prohibit the state from requiring contractors to provide restroom facilities accommodations for transgender residents

tell cities which laws to prioritize for enforcement expand stand-your-ground laws, making it easier to kill someone in your house

make sure parents know they don’t have to get their kids immunized to go to daycare

prevent so-called “sanctuary cities”

prohibit colleges and university officials from banning guns on campuses

ban state health officials from recommending the COVID-19 vaccine or taking other public health safety measures.

KEYWORDS: agitprop; elections
A direct result of the bloodbath Idaho incumbents took in last year's primary, and subsequent election.

The RINO's are losing their grip in Idaho, and the "press" is panicked.

Idaho Republicans are no more ‘scared’ than liberals and leftists are of guns, Toast guns, or parents knowing what is in the school library or which school official is dragging a child to the abortion clinic.

There’s a difference from being scared of some things and just not liking them.

There’s real competition in Idaho to move it to where Montana is.

Montana outlawed forced mask wearing and vaccine coercion during COVID.

Idaho’s RINO governor let the local liberals impose mandates on masks and cried on TV to coerce the jabs.

Protecting children from sexualization or sexual abuse does not seem to be a bad notion to me.

“so-called sanctuary cities”? But, libs themselves use that term. If they’re going to go around changing the meaning and significance of words all the time, I really wish they’d publish a written guide so I can keep up

. . . tell cities which laws to prioritize for enforcement expand stand-your-ground laws, making it easier to kill someone in your house . . .

The only downside of that is if you are a violent criminal. Anyone else?

Why does such a conservative state have such a far-left newspaper.

No worries. It provides a means to potty train puppies, wrap fish and line the bird cage. Sometimes useful to get a good fire going.

/\

THEY CREATED that term /-)

( and academia using the
“telephone game”
class lesson ,,
destroyed the concept of truth
so they could disarm and twist the definitions of words to mean anything at anytime.

No truth, no set definitions, no standards, no morals. No sanity......................Spit.)

Failure to fight against CA only ends one way.
You become CA.

It’s the difference between accepting that homos/freaks exist and being forced to condone them.
