Laugh if you wish, but it's becoming a reality. A small band of Muslim dissidents managed to take out three of the largest buildings in NYC, along with the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania - along with 4 large jet airliners and several thousand American lives. The event caused the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, added TSA security to airports, and locked cockpits along with "Sky Marshall's " on board many domestic flights. Politically motivated supporters of a man (who is the equivalent of an old, angry Taliban cleric) in the USA managed to get inside of the Capitol building and nearly into the chamber occupied our elected officials. I shudder to think about what might have happened to them if those angry dissidents had found their way inside the Senate.

The Senate was SPECIFICALLY placed to make sure each State was equal regardless of population differences, that way each Governor would think were was some sort of "equality" and the rural farms would join the Union instead of siding with King George. The Senate was also seen as an easy WEDGE for the rich to support the New National Constitution, since they could most cheaply and simplistically control the Senate.

I lived in Idaho as an atheist for decades and I was attacked physically, violently and repeatedly. The people there are against human rights, public education and honest sincere conversations about ethics, morality and equality. Idaho is becoming more extreme with an influx of people from other states bringing hate filled agendas. The gentrification of the entire state is happening now and it is a real threat to this nation's democracy. If you believe in equality and justice for all do not turn your back on the extremism of a state with a small population because it has grown by 50% in the past few years and the people there are selling military surplus and advertising this on billboards. If you believe in the constitution and the first amendment then stand up now before the conservatives put that on the "used to be" list along with Roe v. Wade!

This was interesting, I got a kick out of the title 'ask an atheist', as if thats somehow an expertise now:) "Ask a bald guy" would be next, but I'm joking. From what I've seen of other areas, religious dogmatism usually proliferates in areas of economic abandonment by capital investment. In North America thats rural places which are basically used for resources, then abandoned when the resources are gone. HIstorically the population is disposable, and brought in initially from other areas and not meant to put down roots,thats why you see ghost towns all over. Some stay, and essentially the religious extremism comes FROM the economic disenfranchisement, becaues you DONT see it so much in urban areas or rich areas. So the issue in america is whether such populations were well known to be created by policy planners and capitalists who simply abandon entire demographic and geographic areas as what they now call 'zones of sacrifice'. In other words, are these the predictable consequence of modern american capitalism? I don't know, but it 'seems' to be true, and if true it means that the danger is NOT 'them', its the makeup of the federalist system of corporatism which CREATES them, because if the modern economy teaches nothing else, its that human beings are becoming less and less necessary as producers in the economy, particularlyt he resource economy which is rurallly located. So the problem is only going to get much worse.

Conversely, the Founding Father’s also recognized the individuals right to defend themselves from what ever form of oppression that might prevail. It is not just “Christian Fundamentalists” that oppose over reach of rule, it’s many others, and many of those others are flocking to Idaho simply for a “like minded” sense of freedom from oppression. Are the “religious nut jobs” a part of this view, most certainly, but they are not the totality of this view either.

How does increased legislation lead to reduced harm from government? It takes money to fight Washington, and that money mainly comes via increased taxes, as does the modern infrastructure demanded by all these new transplants from gentrified places now flocking to Idaho.

We lived in Sandpoint, Idaho and that was where we were living on 9-11-2001 and moved BACK to Western Washington (Seattle) a year later. Our 6 year sojourn in North Idaho in the 1990's was like a LONG vacation. We had 4 seasons. Rent and power were low, food was low PAY was LOW. I guess we lived there in a"ood" period.

While I agree this crap needs to be stopped, it's not going to be stopped by a race-grifter like Mannion. The whole "everyone is racist but me" schtick backfires every time; all Mannion is doing is reinforcing their viewpoints, especially for the ones that aren't racist, and isn't convincing to those that may not be very far right, but open to more moderate ideologies.

@@joeharris3878 I wouldn't know. I'm not Mormon, and it's not as much a part of the state in the area where I live, but you began your statement with "in Idaho". If you don't live in Idaho, you don't really understand those demographics, despite what polls may say. What are you using for comparison? What are your merits for "high proportion"? Have you examined the Idaho state legislatiure in detail enough to understand that you're quite possibly very wrong with that statement? What is the percentage of Mormons in office in Boise, as compared with Christians in general? It's not such an easy thing to provide evidence for claims, but it's easy to make claims on social media, and idiots will simply nod and agree without fact checking you.
