I'm a friend of farmfriend who works hard in the Grange. I DO find you comment intensely interesting, however, as I have personally discovered some pretty naieve, or confused leaders of some local Granges here in the Sierra Nevada Range!!!
But that's nothing... I find in elective office some terribly naieve, or confused "leaders" who claim to be "conservative," or "Republican," or even "Libertarian!" Some of these ninnies are the most inconsistent and inconsiderate "conservatives" I've ever encountered!!!
I sincerely wish you would elaborate on and support with more references, the history of the Grange in the 1930's so we could all discuss it and maybe help farmfriend in her efforts to "re-arrange the Grange" in CA on a grassroots, or Statewide basis. I believe she will rise thru the ranks or the organization and will be a strong influence for consistent, considerate conservative principles for the future, despite any past disgressions of the 1930's.
Would you help me with that?
Ain't that the truth. Luckily the Greenies are in the minority. Some of our State Granges can lean left as well. Jeffords sister-in-law is the Legislative Director for Vermont State Grange. Isn't that a scary thought.
Even if this "guy" can prove his case about the 30's, I can cite older info that shows we were in bed with the Republicans. Our current policy is pro- guns and property rights. We are anti- CARA and Agenda 21.
