Uber-con humorist fires up GOP

It was a great midday break.

Part entertainment and part call to push Idaho on an uber-conservative course, nationally known speaker Bill Whittle reached the dais at a perfect time.

And Whittle delivered on both counts — he got laughs at just the right places in his practiced speech, but he also railed against progressive “destruction” of states like Idaho and suggested conservatives pick up the fight for “Revolution X.”

The “X” referred to the 10th Amendment to the Constitution, which more and more right-wing activists see as a perfectly legal way to save the nation from a destructive course.

However serious his underlying message, though, Whittle was an excellent Saturday star/ Steve Cameron , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
