If you think about a traditional conservative voter from Idaho, you might picture someone like Jennifer Ellis.
She's a rancher in the southeast corner of the state, near the Wyoming border. She thinks of a gun as a tool — like a rope or a wrench — and has voted for the Republican ticket since she was 18.
But Jennifer is locked in an online battle with far-right Republicans who she fears have hijacked Idaho's traditional GOP. And she says many of those far-right politicians have ties to Greg Pruett.
As reporters Lisa Hagen of WABE in Atlanta, Ga. and Chris Haxel of KCUR in Kansas City, Mo. have chronicled, Pruett is the head of the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance, part of a network of gun rights groups that push a no-compromise message in statehouses across the country.
And it turns out Pruett operates more than one Facebook page; he has several. And, according to Ellis, he has fashioned himself into a one-man propaganda band for a whole set of anti-government subcultures in Idaho.

I am so tired of these anti-government bozos. I will wager Mr. Pruett takes full advantage of such government programs such as the Interstate highway system, the airports, safe vehicles, US mail, etc.
A bunch of hypocrites.
We are a nation of 350 million citizens. We need a government that will "form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"
It takes a much larger government than our founders first conceived of. That is why they were wise enough to write in an amendment procedure in our Constitution.
There will always be those that want a government as they think it should be, and forget about the rest of the nation. We must not allow that. Our government MUST be for ALL of our people.

What’s even worse is these same types constantly hammer that government should do as little as possible but turn right around and bitch at the government for not solving their petty problems

And if the government were expanded via the Amendment process, you would have a point.

Well, lets hope she convinces some of the total stupidity that the GOP has embraced. But if she supports Trump, she is a traitor in my eyes.

Anything like the stupidity Democrats have embraced? Defund police, no cash bail, trans sexuals dominating womens sports, open border etc.

He has influence only if we allow him to, and I reject his views.
