It’s About Politics, Not Governance, With Guns

by Joshua Sharf | 10:15 am, April 9, 2013

As the US Senate begins today’s debate on gun control, Coloradoans can be forgiven for having a feeling of deja vu.  That’s because the debate in Congress is intended to mimic the one in Colorado, and because it’s about politics, not about governance. The one piece of the president’s broad gun control agenda that has [...]

Why PERA’s Presumptions Are Faulty

by Joshua Sharf | 7:33 am, March 28, 2013

Did you recognize the faulty presumptions in PERA’s spirited defense of defined benefit plans? You have been given a false choice about why defined benefits plans are better than defined contribution plans. In a recent EdNews Colorado Voices column, Colorado PERA Executive Director Greg Smith avers that PERA’s existing defined benefit structure best serves both the teachers and [...]

It’s A National Political Strategy

by Joshua Sharf | 11:21 pm, March 18, 2013

On Friday’s Grassroots Radio, the discussion of Rep. Mike McLachlan’s (D-Durango) deceptive advertising of his own gun control positions turned to the national agenda being rammed down Colorado’s throat.  I pointed out that while other states with Democrat majorities and governors – Illinois and Washington came to mind – had rejected similar proposals, Colorado had [...]

Hick Nick Chicks’ Boomsticks

by Joshua Sharf | 9:47 pm, March 18, 2013

Governor John Hickenlooper (D) has announced that on Wednesday, he will sign the gun control bills passed by the Colorado legislature last week.  These include the magazine ban and the background checks, even for temporary transfers between individuals who know each other.  A number of women legislators today protested the disparate impact that this law [...]

by Eileen | 11:30 am, March 18, 2013

And, while you’re at it, go f*** yourself with an extended magazine. You bilious old moose. Oh, Dianne Feinstein, America’s precious little child, she who gets more and more thin skinned with each passing term in the Senate. Dianne epitomizes that breed who go into a field known for being markedly insensitive to feelings and [...]

“Sooner or Later They Will Come After Something You Like or Do”

by T.L. James | 7:16 am, March 18, 2013

One Derek Hunter of RightWing News channels Pastor Niemoeller, with this explanatory observation – Sooner or Later Progressives Will Get Around to You: If there’s one thing progressives love it’s a power grab in the name of “doing good,” and the “good” they most often wrap themselves in is “for the children.” When they eventually [...]

It’s Been a Weird Day in a Good Way: Two Court Rulings Represent Hope for Privacy

by Eileen | 7:06 pm, March 15, 2013

In one day, two major court decisions have put Executive overreach on the defensive and given civil liberty advocates momentum. In California, a federal judge held that National Security Letters, with their built-in gag orders, are unconstitutional. (Decision, here.) Meanwhile, federal courts also reinstated an ACLU lawsuit challenging the CIA’s ‘Glomar’ response of targeted drone [...]
