GOP: Separating wheat, chaff

| August 31, 2018 1:00 AM

At the Republican booth at the North Idaho State Fair, I upset some people. I contend that the booth should be called the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee booth or the Redoubt booth.

The Central Committee members are far from being Republicans. They are more like Middle Eastern tribes fighting for ideological supremacy, and including all people in their far-flung ideas is wrong.

Decent people on the committee, your silence is wrong. Humoring Brent Regan is wrong.

The Republicans I know want to live in America, not in the Redoubt. Republicans should be loyal to their country, not to an ideology.
