Couldn’t they at least fake a little respect?
I keep finding myself asking the same question – what happened to the good liberals? You know, the ones that would constantly say the ends don’t justify the means, a person is innocent until proven guilty, and the process matters. There are no such liberals in Colorado state government. Colorado is experiencing a violent lurch […]
Delegation power baby!
I understand the concept of delegation. I delegate all important decisions, meetings, and responsibilities to our Executive V.P. Amy Cooke so I can focus my limited office time on Glenlivet and Fortnite. The system works. But what I don’t quite understand is why Colorado’s leaders want to delegate so much decision making power to people […]
Our 5th Californian of the Year nominee is…
The Independence Institute is proud to announce its fifth of five nominations for 2018’s Californian of the Year. This coveted recognition goes to the Coloradan who best exemplifies the effort to change our once liberty-loving Colorado into the command-and-control state of California. We believe in the Colorado Culture where we crave the freedom to make […]
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 […]
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 […]
Colorado now California?
We have been warning that Colorado is being transformed into California for years. Tuesday’s elections will only speed the Californication of our once liberty-loving state. Colorado has for generations been a magnet for those who wish to write their own biography, to risk their wealth and talents, and to work in free association with others […]
Colorado or California, find out tomorrow
In one day we’ll know the future of Colorado politics: Four statewide offices, including governor, thirteen ballot issues, the state senate hanging by one vote, and one of the hottest US Congressional races in the country, the 6th. Will we take a step toward or away from becoming California? I’ll keep my predictions to myself […]
Choose your voter guide
“Daddy,” a little girl asked her father, “do all fairy tales begin with ‘Once upon a time’? ” “No, sweetheart,” he answered. “Most begin with ‘If I am elected.’” Since we like choice so much around here, I thought I’d offer you a buffet of great voter guides and election recommendations by some of the […]
The return of Mike Rosen
He’s back in print! We pulled radio host legend and columnist Mike Rosen off the golf course and hid his scotch until he agreed to join CompleteColorado.com as a regular columnist. His debut column is out today – Yes, I voted for Trump, and I’m glad I did. Visit CompleteColorado.com to see all the latest […]
Help me NOT raise $20,000 for Children’s Hospital
I have never asked your help to reach a goal that I hoped not to make… until now that is. I don’t want to raise a dollar over $19,999. And trust me, assuming you have eyesight, neither do you. A little background might be instructive. This is that email I send out once a year […]
The big winner tonight is… TABOR!
As I’m watching the numbers roll in tonight from Colorado’s primary elections, I just had to tell you what the news might not pick up on, even if they noticed it. The big winner in tonight’s Republican Primary is our Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. You might recall last year several weak-kneed Republicans in the state […]
The Most Politically Incorrect Event of the Year!
EMBRACE YOUR PERSONAL FREEDOMS at the most politically incorrect event of the year! The Independence Institute’s Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Party and fundraiser flies in the face of left-leaning nannyists and instead revels in the perks of adulthood, including drinking, smoking, and shooting: The same kind of fundamental rights the left works to take away […]
