has to be the notorious Idaho crackpot (more than the average Idaho political crackpot) Douglas Wilson, who is a graduate of the University of Idaho at Moscow, and taught there for a time, and he is a Rushoonyite Christian "reconstructionist." He is a complete and total nutjob who has way more influence than he deserves. He is an alleged "theologian," who peddles ideas that are revolting to many Christians. He is very racist, very sexist, which means he fits in perfectly with the mindset of a lot of people in the Idaho panhandle.

Some of Wilson's video pronouncements are excerpted on Right Wing Watch.
