PROPOSAL: Let a bad idea die

Are “some members” of the Kootenai County Republican Party idiots? I’m referring to the Feb. 24 front-page article on Idaho being designated a Christian state. Those people are totally disconnected from history and rationality. Even if they are a fringe group I have seen too many equally absurd ideas gain traction with pandering politicians in recent times.

The idea probably excludes a majority of Americans. I say let’s adopt a resolution declaring Idaho an “American State.” It was nice to see the negative reaction of some Republican committee persons, but I wonder how many politicians will verbalize support of such an idea in order to get votes.
