The line allegedly comes from one of the earliest handlers of Richard Nixon, when he first entered politics to run for Congress. These early hucksters today are called campaign managers and spin masters. When speaking about Nixon’s personality he said, “With enough money I could make tuberculosis popular.”
So now you’re witnessing progressive politics in the State of Colorado — they managed with a tremendous amount of money from a small number of individuals — to make tuberculosis popular.
There is a rebellion brewing. In the book “The Andromeda Strain” when they knock on the doors of the men and women on the designated response team the agent would say, “There’s been a fire.” That was the signal for the team to gather to begin to investigate.
To all of us, there’s been a fire. Our small but powerful 710 KNUS radio station and audience were able to change the course of a mighty river and defeat the buffoons who wanted to bring in heroin injection sites. It’s not missed by me that the appointed Colorado Civil Rights Commission ends all of its attacks on a very decent man, Jack Phillips. Hard to believe that one morning they all wake up and unanimously vote to leave Jack alone at the same moment John Hickenlooper throws his hat in the ring to be president. There’s a fire.
Next is the Red Flag Bill. Sheriffs, County Commissioners, and town councils are rejecting a bill which could give the government the right to come and take your firearms, a proceeding where you don’t even get to face your accuser as they come for your guns. The rebellion is brewing in 34 of 64 Colorado counties.
There’s a line that runs through history — “When coming for my guns make sure you bring yours.” What’s going to happen in Weld County when the Sheriff refuses to abide by an anti-second amendment judge? Will Jared Polis bring in the National Guard or will he assign the young men and women of the Colorado State Patrol to go after you?
These same people want to tax people to babysit other people’s children. They also want to show third graders how to put a prophylactic on a banana. And seal up gas wells and fracking points. For the first time since the late 1950s our country is no longer reliant on the tyrants of the Middle East for our gas and oil needs. That’s exactly the time now for General Polis and the axis of the evil Boulder and Denver to plug those wells.
This is a clarion call. On its heels comes the right to squat, where some homeless person or persons can seize the land adjacent to any public greenbelt and occupy it. Just wait. These people will have people with substance abuse, unemployment, and poverty have the right to go to parks, sidewalks and lawns, pitch a tent, put up a box and be allowed to stay indefinitely. And it bounces back on you if you dare open your big fat mouth and say this car has four flat tires and God knows how many people in there and I would at least like a welfare check. When that happens, someone will dub you as crazy and the next day they’re going to come seize your guns. There are recall efforts.
There are angry people that no longer want this kind of nonsense handed out to them. But said and done this speaks to the Colorado State Republican Party. This insipidness began with the Owens Administration and these are the people that brought you the gubernatorial hopefuls like Bruce Benson, Both Ways Bob Beauprez and the pasta resistance (but our piéce de résistance), Walker Stapleton. If the Republican Party could get its collective poop in a group, you may see some different outcomes. In the meantime, watch the skies.
