Right-wing ideologues are trying to save us

| July 1, 2021 1:00 AM

In response to those who think people coming in from out of state with "radical right-wing ideologies" are “trying to save us,” let me explain something – somebody has to.

We are coming from states where we were once simply conservatives. Like many conservatives we just wanted to do our jobs, raise our families, and stay out of politics. Yes, we stayed out of politics and sat on our complacent behinds while the state we lived in slowly was taken over by extreme liberal ideologies to the point that it became untenable.

We moved to what we thought was a free state only to find the liberals trying to carve out a foothold here. We love Idaho, and we are not going to let it become California, Oregon, Washington, New York, etc. without a fight.

You want drug user safe houses? Used drug needles and human feces littering the streets? Gangs and drug dealers? Extreme housing prices and taxes? Homeless setting up tent cities in our parks? Pedophilia as a "sexual preference?" Teaching kids that white people are oppressive and must pay for the sins of our forefathers?

If so, you just go ahead and keep sitting on your complacent behinds and do nothing. Or, here’s an idea. Stand up and fight for the luxury of freedom and liberty that you still have. With your help, maybe we can stop this liberal madness from destroying this great state.
