If you don't like Idaho's values, leave

I didn't know the First Amendment had a seniority clause. According to some folks, people who have lived here for a short period of time should keep their mouths shut.

My wife and I have only lived in Bonner County for seven years. My family has roads named after them in Benewah County; does that count?

I personally don't care where people are from, but I darn sure care if they're conservatives. As I see it, they're blue-state refugees.

We escaped one "people's republic state" here in the Pacific Northwest and don't want Idaho to become like them. That's my Idaho values. If you don't like them, maybe it's time to reconsider where you live.
