There is a ton of material available locally about the GAR, pictures of GAR parades down a very muddy Main St., and lots of local newspaper stories about candidates running for local office and bragging about their Union experience. It would take less than three hours and a few bucks to get a mighty fine display put together. None of which has anything on earth to do with a confederate rag and the pointless display of an old pistol in our court house. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Self righteous rant my ass, mindless defense of the indefensible ought to be your concern.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>But, I do hope you are having a nice summer.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Rose<o:p></o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Gary Crabtree [mailto:moscowlocksmith@gmail.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, July 12, 2012 4:25 PM<br><b>To:</b> Rosemary Huskey<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Vision2020] A Celebration of the Confederacy - No Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Talk about mole hill to mountain mutations, this display has been up in the courthouse lobby for months.

I know that you and the other county commissioners are not responsible for the display in the lobby of the courthouse. Nonetheless, the fact that that display as been up for at least two days without (apparently) concern on your part is making my head explode. (Maybe you are out of town and don’t know about this – if so, I apologize to you) I hate to use the expression WTF, but really Tom, WTF. What would national news outlets think, given Idaho’s connection with the Aryan Nations, Doug Wilson’s <i>Southern Slavery as It Was</i>, and local freaky Tea Party morons who think State’s Rights trump all? If the Confederacy is going to celebrated front and center in the Courthouse it is my expectation that the following images (make sure the county contacts the appropriate parties for permission to show what the Confederacy really represented. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in'> <o:p></o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='margin-left:.5in'><tr style='height:122.25pt'><td width=521 valign=top style='width:390.75pt;background:white;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;height:122.25pt'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in'><a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&hl=en&biw=1252&bih=553&tbm=isch&tbnid=1saW5ihZa0wCNM:&imgrefurl=http://www.nps.gov/liho/historyculture/slavery.htm&docid=eRJwpL7MsegHkM&imgurl=http://www.nps.gov/liho/historyculture/images/slavery.jpg&w=295&h=340&ei=0k3_T6ecDoeh2QWpms2dBA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=391&vpy=173&dur=1&hovh=241&hovw=209&tx=97&ty=94&sig=108509628582744690057&page=1&tbnh=156&tbnw=135&start=0&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0,i:148" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&hl=en&biw=1252&bih=553&tbm=isch&tbnid=1saW5ihZa0wCNM:&imgrefurl=http://www.nps.gov/liho/historyculture/slavery.htm&docid=eRJwpL7MsegHkM&imgurl=http://www.nps.gov/liho/historyculture/images/slavery.jpg&w=295&h=340&ei=0k3_T6ecDoeh2QWpms2dBA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=391&vpy=173&dur=1&hovh=241&hovw=209&tx=97&ty=94&sig=108509628582744690057&page=1&tbnh=156&tbnw=135&start=0&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0,i:148</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in'><img border=0 width=295 height=340 id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CD604B.DAAB5E50" alt="http://www.nps.gov/liho/historyculture/images/slavery.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in'> <o:p></o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr style='height:37.5pt'><td width=496 valign=top style='width:372.0pt;background:white;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;height:37.5pt'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><a href="http://abagond.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/current-arguments-about-slavery/" target="_blank">http://abagond.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/current-arguments-about-slavery/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><img border=0 width=314 height=363 id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image002.jpg@01CD604B.DAAB5E50" alt="http://abagond.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/slavery02.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>And, while I am exploding (but not at you) could you please let me and the rest of your Latah County constituency know who is responsible for this display.
