There is so much rhetoric in today’s political atmosphere that ideas can be confusing as to who is a conservative, who is a liberal, who are establishment Republicans, who are liberty Republicans and so many other factions that it is impossible to list all. In particular, here in Idaho, we hear one faction say, “we, we are conservative,” and different …
Read MoreQualification and Eligibility

Read MoreThe Politics of Confusion
A well-known line and popular meme from a popular movie read “You keep using that word.
