Don't you think that's going over with a broad brush a bit? They are trying to fix things by breaking away from the stranglehold that Portland has over the whole state. No other way to fix it because libs outnumber conservatives there. At least they aren't fleeing Oregon and moving here.

There is only one point to this IMHO, and it's to grift money from dumb suckers.

Note the fine print: "We expect that the chances of the Greater Idaho movement being successful depend entirely on whether we are able to convince northwestern Oregon to let our counties go."

In other words, they have to convince Oregon to do it. And there's no way Congress, Oregon's politicians or Oregon's blue urban centers would ever vote for it.

That's an incredibly ignorant statement.

I am from OR. and a solid majority of the residents in Oregon are conservatives - especially once you cross the cascade mountains with the exception of Bend which is basically California now.

Having the central and eastern side of Oregon only means more tax payers and like-minded people.

The ones that I see and hear speak poorly of this, we'll call it an idea, are the cult-followers AKA Mormons. The LDS church doesn't want people moving in because they don't want their views to be questioned. I deal with this literally every day as I live in Rexburg and am from Oregon.

Some of you need to open your minds a little and realize that their ARE good people in/from other states. Nobody likes an arrogant asshole.

No arrogance here.

I don't want to come of a Idaho Jesus but you seem to be lacking some useful information:
Many if not most of the people who frequent this forum originate from out of state. And?
Mormons are 1/4 of the population of Idaho, and you happen to live in Mormon central. Calling them cultists isn't going to get you very far. Very far with who? And why should I care?
Mormons are quite used to people questioning their beliefs. They don't give two shits but it wont make you any friends either. I don't care to be friends with people who live an enormous lie and judge/ridicule others for not aligning with their beliefs. Did I mention a lot of them are racists too? Why would I want to be friends with that??

I have lived among them my whole life and yeah they have their peccadilloes but don't we all. At the end of the day they are good neighbors and have a significant impact on the culture of Idaho.
View Quote


They have an impact yes, whether it be a good one or not is up for debate. Nothing is factual when it comes to the LDS religion. Joseph Smith was nothing more than a modern-day con man and the Mormon's love to play the victim role while ignoring the facts. That doesn't fly with me.

He didn't say "Fuck some of them."

He made the generalization, not me. Thus making none of my comments arrogant, ignorant, or any form of hypocrisy was used.

Obviously he's stating his opinion, but it's also a display of ignorance and that's what I called out, right?? Did I say "Hey bub - you're not allowed to have that opinion?"

You're trying to bend my words and it make it sound like I'm being something that I am not for some reason. And that's fine - you do you - but you'll be corrected every time you make that attempt.

Arrogance is being butt hurt because someone wont adopt you and assuming just because you want to join a club doesn't mean the club wants you.

Insulting the host wont help you with this cause

Most people I talk to in Idaho just want to be left alone, they dont want anymore change and are not interested in having eastern Oregon or Washington as part of idaho.

I have homes in Washington and Idaho and I agree with them.

That's fine and all, but it's a free country. People are reproducing(unfortunately), and every U.S. citizen has a right to move wherever they want to assuming they are not restricted by a court. Ya'll can recognize this and accept it, or bitch and complain about it and still have to deal with it at the end of the day. Choice is yours.

I personally don't care if people move in, however I DO care when they bring their liberal ideologies with them. They're fleeing a shithole because of it's politics, they'd better have the common sense to not bring those same ideas to their new destination(s).

I was born in Alabama and moved here from California. I've lived about a third of my life in California all throughout.

With that in mind, the one and only thing I currently care about is driving the left out of Idaho. Is that hypocritical of me? Perhaps. But I have seen different places go to shit and the left is the one and only common factor.

So the state legislature has taken up the practice of wielding its own power (authoritarianism) to enforce constitutional rights (libertarianism). For an example of this, see ISC 18-3302J.

So what kind of people are we looking to take on here? Ones who just want to be left alone? Or ones who are willing to wield authoritariansm to enforce libertarianism?

Those who want to be left alone will always lose to those who want to win.

Soooo…I live in Oregon.  Our family has been thinking about moving to Idaho for a bit now, especially the last 5 years or so.  Oregon isn’t what I grew up in anymore…especially the city I’m in.

Reading this thread makes it sound like my family and I wouldn’t be welcomed…at least the “Fuck them” statement…Am I reading this wrong?

I grew up with a good friend who was Morman, love their family values…not into their specific religious beliefs as my family and I have a different faith, but have always been treated like family by them.

Maybe I’ll start another thread asking about thoughts on moving to Idaho and start the mood over again, lol?!

To be clear,  I wasnt talking about people moving to Idaho.
Heck many would call me a transplant even though I've spent more than half of my adult life there.

What I was talking about is eastern Oregon and eastern Washington thinking just because they want to be called Idaho, that Idaho should want that too.

Idaho is fine just like it is.
If you want to be an idahoan, move to Idaho and pay taxes.

I've never met more welcoming folks than I have in north Idaho but dont expect it to happen over night.

That said , Idaho has been literally invaded by its neighbors over the past decade.
The locals have lost opportunity because of that invasion with little to show for it .

Depends alot on where you end up and how you live your life.

It's a free country but you'll have to earn the respect of your new neighbors I suspect it is not much different than anywhere else that way.

Have you seen SLC lately? Nearly as bad as SF with all the homeless crazies!

It's an overall want and need for wholesome family values, that transcends religion. We all want our kids to be safe, and live in peace and prosperity. Those are Idaho values! Not just LDS values.

How is that smoking something good? It’s the truth. 40% of Idaho’s population is LDS. They are the largest single contingent of people here. They run the show. Most Mormons live in the ‘burbs around SLC. Same can be said for the treasure valley area hence why all the cities outside of Boise lean right or hard right.
