Okay, I'm going to openly apologize if I have made any of my Republican readers/friends angry over my occasional jabs. I know lots of wonderful people who happen to be Republican, and 90% of the time we just agree to disagree and get on with life. Not all Republicans are narrow-minded, not all are capitalists out only for their own gain.
Much of my rabid irritation toward the Republican party stems from the fact that Idaho is one of the most conservative Republican states in the Union, and I am in quite the minority. I look at my blog as a place where I can freely express my own opinions without having anyone in this community looking at me as though I were a microbe on a slide.
That said, a large portion of those of you who read are friends of mine. I know who you are, I know who your families are, and I know what you believe. You can say the same about me. So if anyone else reading is still offended, just click the "Back" button on your browser, look at another page, and forget all about me.
