Herb: Self Government & Anarchy

Herb: For those that are concerned about the park issue, you need to go back to government 101. We have a representative government. Both Cities and Counties along with the state legislature. Representative government means that we hire, through the election process, a group of people to make decisions on our behalf. This doesn’t give the electorate the right to veto any one decision made by this elected body. What is happening right now, is the John Birch Society types which include the Constitutionalists and of course, the Anarchists who are alive and well in our neck of the woods. We can either turn our government, including city, county and state over to these radicals, or we can reclaim our state, county and cities. It is your choice. Self government or Anarchy.

Question: Has Kootenai County been invaded by members of the Radical Right? Or have they been here all along, only now they're organized?
