the article i posted below, on efforts to propagandize even elementary school education in texas, to eliminate much of the history of america, for ideological fascist reasons, dovetails well with this incident.

Idaho GOP Leader, Tea Party Organizer Arrested For Assault With A Deadly Weapon (a gun)

The Republican Party has a huge problem on their hands. They are quickly being taken over by the most extreme, paranoid, fringe elements in our society and this case is just another glaring example of the path they are on:

BOISE, Idaho An Idaho Republican Party leader who helped oust the state GOP chairman in 2008 faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after an altercation escalated while he photographed a home with a delinquent mortgage.

Challis McAffee, 33, the GOP chairman from the Boise suburb of Garden City and one of 231 voting members of the Idaho Republican Central Committee, was in Ada County jail after being accused of pointing a gun at the homeowner.

McAffee, a backer of libertarian-leaning former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul and an activist in this year's anti-big-government "Tea Party" protests, helped organize Paul backers who aligned at last June's Idaho State Republican Convention in Sandpoint with other foes of then-state GOP Chairman Kirk Sullivan. Sullivan was voted from office in favor of Norm Semanko.

According to police in the Boise suburb of Meridian, resident Robert Lutes called officers just before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to report McAffee had pointed a .357 Magnum handgun at him during a verbal confrontation. McAffee acknowledged he pointed the gun at Lutes, according to the police account.

"I'm unarmed, I'm an old man," Lutes, 51, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I'm trying to find out why he's taking pictures of my house. I said, 'Knock on my door, let me know what you want.' Then, I think he's reaching for his business card and he pulls out a concealed weapon and I think he's going to blow my head off." Read on...

A group calling itself Idahoans for Liberty is trying to raise bond money for McAffee, but their version doesn't line up with the police account.

It was only a matter of time. For several years now the Republican party has concentrated their efforts on the indoctrination of paranoid crazies to fill the empty seats in their party. Attrition is all that's necessary for the lunatics to take over.

One really wonders about the crazies when the Obama administration lets Brazil have Billions to drill for oil.

Crazies are the ones who claim fossil fuel is the reason we are having global warming and then let Brazil have Billions to drill for oil.

Crazies are those people who believe they can spend our nation into prosperity by borrowing money and taxing only the rich.

Crazies are those who hate the responsible for being so greedy when they only live within their means.

And finally crazies are those who use personal quotes by two different people who have never met each other and try to make it appear that they know each other personally.

Liberals feel--Conservatives think.

"...in essence, the repub party is today in danger of radicalizing itself out of business..."

So what's your problem? This should be good news for you.

By the way, is that Emeril's "essence?"

  Idaho?  And you think Texas is bad? *chortle*  This process has already taken place with the Democrats, and in their case, your dire predictions show every indication of having some truth to them.  Works for me...
