But I will also say this, republican/democrat had very different meanings in those days!

He's a RINO and so are our Congressmen.  Little's politics align more with Cecil Andrus than a MAGA Republican.

Rainbow flags on fences of houses in Rathdrum. Shocked at all the apartment buildings an housing developments going up between Post falls an Rathdrum. The cutese bistro, coffee, boutique popping up, that are the habitat of the coastal liberal..license plates in CDAs Costco parking lot reveals alot of intelligence on whom is in the state.

Truly concerning, I thought Idaho would be our place to eventually escape too,  after full retirement.

Just a reminder, it's your own natives doing it. Talked to this guy and played along with his bullshit before I made fun of him. He's a native. A coastie liberal Californian wouldn't move to idaho. They don't think of it as an ideal state. Those of us that come out here are conservatives...

That is the utopian fallacy of Libertarianism.   It assumes a people are good and will do the right thing.  The Bible clearly teaches man is fallen and there is evil in the world.  Listen to the Bible, not the silly political fallacies of man.

You need just and moral laws.  The opposite is anarchy and evil.  When a government legalizes pot, it legitimizes it and MORE people do it.  Then, as in the case in CA, the cartels rush in and help supply the distributors.  Then, they buy the politicians.  This is part of the demoralization process of a society.  The government wants people high and zoned out.  Druggies don't rebel.

Man.  I think some of you fell off the turnip truck yesterday.  If this is what passes for logic in ID, we will fall too just like CA, OR, and WA.  Stick a fork in it.

I was just going to avoid responding to your ramblings anymore but, you keep on keeping on.

You are a keyboarding ironical contradiction wrapped in a self righteous sackcloth.

Fallen evil men do not follow "just and moral laws".

Just quit while you're behind.

Do you drive 120 mph in the car pool lane?  I don't think so.  Laws do restrain evil due to the threat of punishment.  If your mind is so corrupted that you don't understand that, I can't help you.  Laws also legitimize moral standards.  Decriminalize drugs and more people do it because they don't see drugs for the evil that they are.  

God gave us the 10 commandments.  Why don't you tell him your thoughts on how stupid that was.  He also instructed Israel to punish the behavior of those who broke his laws.  He needs your input on that too.  

Only a fool doesn't know the threat of punishment has a deterrent effect on evil.  

There is no way you are saved.

So, the fella who ambushed AND shot 2 IDOC employees at the hospital the other day to help a maximum custody level inmate escape, then went to North Idaho and killed 2 people, obviously did so because they’re no laws against murder, attempted murder or aggravated assault…oh wait, there are!!!

The threat of punishment from the laws already on the books really worked in this scenario, didn’t it?

Your flawed thinking/preaching is flawed…

Is that why the state of idaho is the only entity that you can purchase booze from in the state?

You know, the drug that kills untold more people a year than marijuana kills in CO?

Yeesh.

This is why ID is doomed.  Lack of critical thinking.  According to your lack off logic, we should just legalize murder since it didn't stop these two.

Laws and punishment deter crime.  But, they don't deter every illegal act.  Only a fool would not be able to see this.  You are an adult and have zero knowledge of human nature.  Congrats.  

A bicycle lock will stop some thieves.  But, it won't stop them all.  I still lock my bike.

Great.  Another doper trying to justify his Satanic habit.  You are pathetic.  Are you so weak you need drugs to cope with life?  Grow up.  Loser.

Please point out where I stated or implied murder should be legal, I’ll wait…

I was simply responding to your statement, “Laws do restrain evil due to the threat of punishment.” In the incident I mentioned, the threat of punishment did not stop the evil. Your blanket statement does not work here.

And based off your replies in this thread and others, you must be perfect in every facet of life, cause why else would you call-out everyone who disagrees with you? And resorting to name calling is super classy! Please keep up with the personal attacks as well, it makes this a very welcoming place.

I do appreciate the good laugh. Thank you. I don’t smoke weed, but I would totally hang out with this satan guy if he wanted to toke up. Sounds like a pretty even keeled character. Maybe I will invite my Jack LDS coworkers over to join too.

Your crystal ball might be cloudy today, but there’s an entire group of people that have absolutely no faith, belief, or desire to understand what you have apparently rooted your entire life and world views around. As in, your religious beliefs have zero impact on anyone’s life except your own. The ultra die hard faction of people in idaho like you, arguably have a greater blue impact on the people who just don’t care about any of this. The vast majority of things that people get up in arms about in threads like this, and all over this site, have very, very little impact in my day to day life. I don’t see, or care about rainbow flags around town. The subset of people that want to drink and get high are going to do that regardless. But I do have a lengthy list of hard core religious folks who approach me while I mind my own business, trying to tell me that the way I live my life is sending me and this country to hell. Those interactions make me want to vote blue, just to piss you off.

And my vote counts just the same as anyone else’s.

Go breathe some air, dude.

You guys are all wrong. Conservative Californians are going to save this state. Just ask one.

For the 87 millionth time....

The problem isn't transplants....

The problem is the big assed bright pink elephant in the room....which is the 10's of thousands of brainwashed kids in high school....colleges....and universities that are graduating and voting Democrat every year.
