Let's outsource radical GOP

The Wednesday, July 24, Coeur d'Alene Press featured a double-header attack on public schooling from Brent Regan and Ronald Deady. After public schools have been strangled to the point where some are down to teaching four days per week, these Republicans are having a field day blaming labor unions and …

Unleash the power of your vote

Finally, some rules of the game

The Cd'A Press has put the kibosh on unbridled hate and racism for the same reason that you cannot exercise your freedom of speech by shouting fire in a crowded movie theater or library. While it is the right thing to do, it is also very apparent that they are …

This Democrat says guns aren't the problem

Are guns the problem? No, they are not. I love guns. The thought of an armed police officer coming to my door to collect my guns does not sit well with me. Last night, my wife and I watched an old 1950s movie classic with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr …

GOP: You're 0-for-2

Oh my, the flags are flyin' upside down, and the Obama effigies once again are hangin' high in the trees. Yes sir, the Republican brotherhood of Idaho's most eloquent idiots are teaching by example on how to be a poor loser.

More GOP welfare for the wealthy

Hope, change have already succeeded

Wall Street has succeeded in the biggest premeditated heist against the Middle Class in the history of our nation. No one has yet been held accountable. In fact, President Obama had to kinda cut off our finger to save our hand by sending them billions in stimulus money. Nicely done, …
