Huckleberries Tuesday:

Christa Hazel has had it up to here with the ideological nuttiness of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee – the “KCRCC,” so to speak. Only Christa says the “R” in this case stands for “Redoubt.”

The “American Redoubt” movement consists largely of religious survivalists who are answering the Pied Piper call of blogger James Wesley Rawles to head to the sparsely populated Inland Northwest. The goal of the Redoubters is to hunker down in a defensible area waiting for all hell to break loose elsewhere.

Christa, a Coeur d’Alene school trustee and GOP precinct committeewoman, is warning that some of the Redoubters have not only hunkered down but have embedded themselves in the Kootenai County Republican Party. And they have enormous clout with Chairman Brent Regan and the Central Committee. That political muscle was on display at the committee’s monthly meeting last week, she said, when the party launched a last-minute attempt to stop a long-planned Citylink bus transit center from being built at Coeur d’Alene’s Riverstone. The committee passed a resolution claiming the center will be an “attractive nuisance” for crime and illegal activities.

“It was a very negative meeting and in no way represented my views nor even Republican Party views.” Christa commented in a Facebook post. “This flies in the face of our religious community helping out those less fortunate. It violates our platform that supports older Americans in accessing any and all services provided by local, state, and federal levels.”

Seems like the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee has become an unattractive nuisance. More here.
