From Merriam-Webster:

redoubt

I did graduate work at Washington State University at Pullman, WA … an island of blue in a sea of red. The militia types used to be relegated to northern Idaho’s mojntains but I guess times have changed what with open support for those crazies from the White House and all.

Any relation to John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? His name is my name too.

So true. The evangelicals are exposed and will hasten the end of power for the so-called religious based voter. It is about damn time.
