What’s interesting is that Shawn Vestal’s recent penned rebuke of the “Greater Idaho” May 18th election success appeared in the Spokesman so quickly. If this movement “is dumb and can’t succeed” what’s the rush?

The Oregon effort is much more effective than Washington’s Liberty State movement because it’s systemic, drawing its energy, strength and momentum from voters that are isolated from political decisions that are challenging them legally, culturally and morally. Portland anarchists and their elected political supporters and apologists (Gov. Brown and Mayor Wheeler) do not appear to instill confidence in rural Oregon voters.

Anarchy or Stability? “Greater Idaho” has more election successes coming, with or without a nervous and skeptical Shawn Vestal.
