Wife and I are sitting in a Starbucks near Golden. There's an Obama supporter who cornered a couple of innocent looking, presumed to be independents; basically ranting about how he's doing so much better in construction than in 2008. We had to leave. It was a form of disturbing the peace; yet this was common in 2008.
Colorado fell for the Green concept big time in 2008. We're a health conscious state. “Earth in the Balance” movie was getting respect. A little dose of reality since then. Solyndra and other failures. A large solar plant can't be built near Alamosa because of power line visibility issues. Plus the state is leading the way in cheap natural gas production.
The Democratic Party is still big here on the local level as they are way more moderate than the Democratic Party in say Oregon.
But this is a moderate to right state that suffered a form of insanity in 2008 along with a few other states.
I now have an “OMG - Obama Must Go” sticker on my car and I park it prominently in Golden where hundreds must walk/drive by it.
your first mistake was going into Starbucks...
Ah,waking up every morning and seeing the Coors breweryI can almost hear the water rushing over the rocks in Clear
creek!
You’ve got Peyton Manning, so you don’t have any problems.
OFA plopped a headquarters in downtown Loveland 3 weeks ago.
It won’t help them much other than give them a location to spend $$$ trying to buy votes.
Loveland kicked the medical MJ out of town last year.
I have noticed that even in the People’s Republic of Boulder there are much fewer Zero bumper stickers. One of my neighbors has one, but she is a retired social worker and does not live in reality.
a word of caution: cic.
I’ve had my car keyed twice for my Walker sign and another one time for having a state senate conservative bumper on my car in northern WI.
I love yours, but here’s a few suggestions:
1. Back your car into a parking space when you are in a leftie infested area like a grocery store, preferably against some bushes(a must in the uber lib dog park here).
2. Don’t ever leave it unattended in a Starbucks or health food parking lot. lol
I live part-time in Co. and am amazed at the number of LA transplants in my resort town. Some of them came to ski and never left..generally lazy, shiftless people who try to fanagle handouts from the government for things like knee replacements(from skiing and hiking too much.
They’re rabid libs with gray ponytails, yellow teeth and professorial beards. But there is also now a solid group of conservatives here which is encouraging in the heart of the granola munching, tree hugging hornet’s nest.
We went toward the sound of the guns,,just like in WI.
I hope it was temporary insanity. I live in CS which is uber conservative so it’s difficult to get a grasp on how the rest of the state is trending.
Contrast your story at Starbucks with mine at Home Depot. Older gentleman was checking out (in self service) and used a credit card. Cashier said told him she needed to see his ID.
He asked what the hell for this government doesn’t even want
to see your ID for voting. I had to chime in and just said,
only if you’re an illegal criminal invader would you not haveto show ID for anything. He laughed as did the clerk.
I work in Golden. I think of Golden as, “Boulder-Lite.”
Keep an eye on your vehicle with that sticker on it. Wouldn’t put it past the Obamazombies to vandalize it as the election nears.
