Thanks for being lazy.

Let me help you:
quote:

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The dream world for Idaho’s ascendant far right is one where state lawmakers run a sovereign nation-state free of federal oversight. It would be a place where they can outlaw all abortions, dictate what is taught in schools, have complete say over public health rules and gun laws, and take control of federal public lands, which make up more than 60% of the state.
And many believe they’ve never been closer to achieving their goals in what is already one of the most conservative states in the country.

Doesn't sound scary at all to me. It sounds like true freedom.

Or, you know, how things were before the Civil War. Bravo Idaho!

How would an AP writer rephrase freedom in a headline to sound scary?

2nd career post-retirement job offer 2017, C’oeur d’ Alene. Wife wouldn’t do it. Hate myself for not employing my pimp hand in the decision making process.

Great place to live.

All states need to get off of the federal teat. This is the correct way forward. The federal government uses this money as a bribe to get states to do things that they otherwise wouldn't do.

The AP describes constitutional federalism as a some dystopian nightmare.

Of regressives most debilitating traits, grotesque lack of self awareness is my favorite to ridicule.

Idaho is the answer to a California/Massachusetts-infected Texas.

But know this:

In thirty years when Idaho economy is known to have been rolling, the libs will then move there, too.

Basically if you are pro 2a you are a far rt extremist.

It's just another way to brainwash people.

They want you to think the only people who like guns are dumb deer hunters and ex military that want to overthrow the government.

I’ve been saying this. The state needs to tell the feds to shove it. Federal mandates have destroyed education in most states. Do NOT allow the feds to dictate anything. Tell them to concentrate on national security

Seems like true freedom would be letting people have abortions whether you agree with them or not, enrolling your kids in a school that teaches what you want them taught and letting others do the same, and letting people make their own choices about their health.

I'm all for less government, but that includes letting people choose stuff I don't agree with. Kinda how it should work on both sides.

This actually sounds like what every liberal fears and says the right really wants deep down.
