Washington, Oregon, and California are the three most liberal states in the country, while Idaho continues to rise through the ranks as one of the most conservative. Idahoans continue to elect pro freedom politicians while those other states embrace the failed liberal agenda.

Washington State was named after George Washington, the father of our country. However, lawmakers in their state capitol are considering a bill to remove George Washington's face from the state flag.
