Purple is not good.
The fantasy world that libs live in never ceases to amaze me.
The feral gubbmint should run the oil companies so we can have cheap energy for 150 years? Oh yeah, that will work as well as the postal service.
A professional man who has done well and is smart enough to be an architect, but still easily led to believe a falsely constructed media image.
Tea party values are simple:
Limited government
Balanced Budget
Preserve the blessings of freedom for our children and grandchildren.
If Mr. Architect is opposed to those ideals he deserves what ever a 2nd Obama term may bring him.
I remember Silverton whenit still had dirt streets and horse hitches along the street. Lots of miners and loggers there at the same time.
Now it appears to have been “Calipornicated” by the leftists like they did to Teluride.
These writers need to lighten up. The guy has only lived in Colorado for a couple of years. He's a liberal. It is impossible for a liberal girlyman to wear the "look of a no-nonsense Westerner". He probably moved there from New Yawk! Geeesh!
I always want to ask those who fear the Tea Party to articulate WHY. They never can.
I think this article nailed it. I spent a week this summer in Ridgeway, Ouray, Telluride and Silverton (if you haven’t been there you really need to see the San Juan’s).
I had to go into a Ridgeway coffee shop every day to teach online classes for the Internet access. We rented a huge log cabin, but it didn’t have Internet access.
The place was liberal to the point of almost being another Boulder in outlook. I thought the owner of the coffee shop was going to kick me out when I wouldn’t put up with her liberal evangelization.
I live in Colorado Springs near the AFA which is one of the most conservative areas in the country. But Denver and areas like these are getting over run.
This reminds me of my spiel I used to post:
Considering Relocating? Think about Colorado Springs…
I f you or a CONSERVATIVE person is considering relocating, I’d invite you to tell them about this family values oasis. I’d personally suggest Northern Colorado Springs as being the best and the most conservative.
And just to lay my cards on the table, I am not in the Real Estate business and make nothing off anyone moving here. I just know that Soros and others have dumped millions into Colorado and have succeeding in taking over the state government for the first time in decades recently.
The Springs loses out to Denver and Boulder in the state elections but it is still close enough to make a difference.
Pass this along.
18. El Paso County, Colo.
Largest city: Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is the right-wing stronghold of Colorado. The Air Force Academy and NORAD are based in the county. About 19 percent of the population are civilian veterans, one of the highest rates in the nation. The other conservative influences are social: Focus on the Family is located in Colorado Springs, as are many other parachurch organizations. Colorado Springs was named by Money Magazine as the best big city to live in 2006.

Outside Magazine lists as a drawback that it might be get this TOO CONSERVATIVE for some people.
As you know, Money Magazine consistently usually ranks it number 1 as well.
