Joan: Something Attracts Extremists Up Here
Hate groups will always be around as long as they think they have an audience. But just for your info, folks; being born in North Idaho, I grew up knowing about how kooks some people can be. Why would the Aryan Nations crowd show up here? Because the Posse Comitatus preceded them. Why would the Posse C show up? Because there were John Birchers in the area. Why would the John Birch Society show up? Because we hate the Californians since the early 70s. Keep going back through history and North Idaho becomes much like someone’s mad uncle in the attic. As DFO likes to write, Coeur d’Aloonians. Yeah. And I take the time to inform Dave, he lives here now.
