Why your child is safer in a plane than in school
There hasn’t been a hijacking of a commercial American aircraft since the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, even as hijacking continue around the world. There could be a multitude of reasons for this success including stronger cockpit doors and tougher TSA screening, or at least the illusion of tougher TSA screenings. Apparently, […]
We’re Fixing Our Damn Roads!!!
Relief is on its way…finally! Since the Colorado State Legislature refuses to address our crumbling road system in Colorado, we are proud to bring the issue directly to the voters. I’m thrilled to let you know our Fix Our Damn Roads initiative is one step closer to reality. The Title Board has approved our title, […]
Nothing says “love” like abandonment
To show how much they care about our children’s education, public school teachers in some 27 districts across the state denied our kids a day of education so they could protest at the capitol. What says, “I deserve a raise!” more than blowing off work? According to our Ed Is Watching blog, the lost productivity […]
I couldn’t go to work Friday when teachers abandoned my kids
We all feel underpaid, and somehow our employers all feel we’re overpaid. So, who’s right? Well, if we keep working for the amount they’re paying us, and our boss keeps paying that amount instead of letting us go, then it’s pretty safe to say that’s the market amount for our circumstance. We are programmed from […]

Join the TABOR offensive!
The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights is universally despised, neigh, deplored by every tax-happy progressive around the country. Ever wonder why it’s like sunlight to a vampire to them, and why they’ve weakened it in court-ruling after court-ruling for 25 years? Then please join us on Monday, April 23, in Colorado Springs for our first stop […]

Ann Coulter gets chatty
I have been deflecting the sexual advances of my friend and drinking buddy Ann Coulter for a couple of decades now. And yes, it gets tiring. She was in town last week to piss off the progressives at CU Boulder. So, after we sobered up I had her swing by and tape an episode of […]
Prepare NOW for the hurricane
Dear Friend of Freedom, “Hurricane California” is about to drown Colorado. So I’m writing to give you our survival and recovery plan. If you’ve been following me the past few months, you know I’ve been warning that Colorado is turning into “East California.” I’m talking about a change in the character of our people. […]
No, it’s not you, Peter Pan. It’s the law that prevents you from growing up.
Many progressives want to lower the voting age to 16, yet they want to raise the age to buy a long gun to 21, all while Obamacare lets them stay on mommy’s health care plan until they’re 26. So just when does someone become an adult anymore? Is it any wonder young people today seem […]
Helping kids while stepping on penguins
As I am typing this email one of our Independence Institute freedom fighters is in Antarctica running with penguins. Literally. Sadly, one of the bonds I share with Todd Lubas, our Director of Strategic Partnerships, is the loss of a loved one to a rare cancer. As you know, I lost my daughter Parker just […]
