So what do you get when you meet cross someone who is firm in their righteous convictions, has a lot of rural life experience and is not afraid to say it like it is? You get our guest, Patrice Lewis of Rural-Revolution.com . We had the great opportunity to meet Patrice in person at the Colorado Springs Self Reliance Expo and she took some time out to talk with us.
You may know Patrice from her weekly column on WND (World Net Daily), but in the small chance that you have not read her column, listen in today as we talk to her about rural life, home schooling, and so much more. If you think that this is sugar coated pleasantries, then please turn up your volume for a dose of “In-your-face stuff from an opinionated rural north Idaho housewife.”
