Ring in the new year by saving Colorado
As we are celebrating our “Californian of the Year” nominations this week (to honor the person who is doing the most to change Colorado into California), it reminds us of the sad fact our once liberty-loving state is changing and could become a command-and-control state like California. But, if that were a certainty, an absolute […]

Before you ever get to your Uncle Bob’s house for Christmas and ruin dinner by calling half your family Commies and the other half “weak-kneed Raiders fans,” you will first have to survive stop-and-go traffic on one of Colorado’s interstate parking lots. If only we had Fixed The Damn Roads. But I digress. Travel during […]
Missed it by THAT much
For those of us of a certain age, we remember Don Adams in the comedy “Get Smart.” His catchphrase was, “missed it by that much.” Well we missed our Colorado Gives Day goal by THAT much. We are still only about $8,000 away from our goal of $85,000. But, wow! That still matches what we […]
Give the gift of annoying a leftist
Tomorrow is Colorado Gives Day and your gift to Independence comes with a little bonus for us. The more we raise, the larger the matching grant we get from the Colorado Gives Foundation. But isn’t investing in Independence on Gives Day really about one thing – triggering the easily-offended progressive Left? Since the “Public Policy” […]
Win a gun, need I say more? Oh, and save lives.
We’re raffling off a gun. Read on. There is a lot of handwringing over what should be done to stop school shootings. Many politicians think disarming YOU will make schools safer. But we at Independence Institute wanted to do something that could actually save lives. So we did what we always do —we sprung into […]
What happened to good liberals?
I keep asking myself, what happened to the good liberals? And yes, there were good liberals. They seemed to be all around when I was growing up. You know, the ones who would say things like, “The ends don’t justify the means.” Think of the ACLU fighting for the First Amendment rights of ugly neo-Nazis […]
