Romney Woos Grand Junction, Earns Sen. King’s Endorsement

by Kelly Sloan | 6:50 pm, February 6, 2012

For West Slope voters, Romneys biggest applause line came when he spoke of energy, an issue critical to the economy of the region rich in natural gas, coal, and oil shale. In a speech that mostly stuck to the script of his last several appearances, Romney criticized Obama’s record on energy policy, noting that the current President has kept hundreds of acres off limits for production, while subsidizing so-called “green energy” boondoggles – contrary to his call in the State of the Union speech for an “all of the above” policy.

Obama is China’s best friend
By Amy Oliver Cooke and Michael Sandoval
When it comes China, President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Speech last month was nothing more than a rhetorical exercise from the political pied piper, who, along with his supporters, believes his own words magically alter reality. He [...]

Sen. Udall: “Legitimate Argument” to build Keystone Pipeline in “National Interest”; Obama Administration Approved 2009 Pipeline for Economic, Strategic Reasons

by elpresidente | 12:34 pm, February 6, 2012

Colorado’s Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and President Barack Obama don’t appear to be on the same page when it comes to the recently sidelined Keystone XL pipeline that the Democratic administration rejected permitting for in January: “‘I think there is a legitimate argument that it’s in the national interest to build the pipeline,’ said Udall, [...]

Obama Ignores Challenge to His Presidential Eligibility in Georgia

by Bob Adelmann | 5:26 am, February 1, 2012

Putting aside for the moment Obama’s arrogance in ignoring this subpoena, this lawsuit has a significantly better chance at derailing his continued oppression than questions about where he was born or how many Social Security numbers he has.

The President’s Regrettable SOTU

by Kelly Sloan | 11:47 am, January 27, 2012

The most regrettable feature of the President’s State of The Union speech Tuesday was the venture in reductionism that it represented — the shameless dilution of the public discourse into a fallacious, class-warfare infused, “us vs. them” formulation. Nowhere is this more evident than in the economic sophistry of the “Buffett rule”. Obama is counting on a general economic illiteracy to both keep him in the White House, and validate his proposition that the American people are incapable of governing themselves.

Translating Obama’s energy policy

by amy | 7:55 am, January 26, 2012

President Barack Obama will be in Colorado today at Buckley Air Force Base promoting his new “all-of-the-above” energy policy. He’s delivering his remarks to a “closed audience” that includes “local energy stakeholders” (translation: rent seekers). We acquired a “fact sheet” about the President’s new direction for energy on which his speech will be based. Since [...]

Seeing Stars: Rerun of the Union

by Randall Smith | 7:00 am, January 25, 2012

Obama used his State of the Union speech to push socialism. Again. And again, he dragged out the line that it’s not “fair” that a wealthy person might pay a lower overall percentage that his secretary. If I were the Republicans in the House, I would ha…
