yeah, anarchist would be a better designation.

it takes a lot of discipline to be a commie, the regimentation and all, and as you point out, curchill's got the "terrible 2's"!

RE: physicians, dentists, law school professors"

Thanks for your explanation and insight. I always thought of Ward and Nederland as the "true" time warp, but I guess you can throw Boulder in there as well.

I didn't attend CU but have lived in the general area for 14 years. I spent a lot of time in Boulder as one of a handful of Republicans during this past Presidential campaign and spent three weeks at the Boulder County Clerks Office working on early voting, provisional ballots, absentee ballots etc. Let me say it was an eye opening experience to hear what the far-left think and believe. Time warp is putting it mildly! I'm glad you believe most will outgrow it or as you say, will end up becoming teachers themselves. God help us!

You didn't mention if you are still in the area or not? I was wondering if you remember the big controversy shortly after 9/11 when the Boulder County library took down The American Flag because some of its "guests" were offended, but around the same time they displayed a vulgar piece of art that WAS offensive but was kept on display(until it was stolen) in the name of art? I wanted to bring that up earlier but couldn't remember the details. Do you remember that event? That told me all I ever needed to know about Boulder.

Jan,

Currently live in Texas. I've lived here for 18 years. Lived all over the nation. However, as crazy as it may be, I love Boulder. Still follow things closely in the local papers and listening to KOA Radio online.

[jan in Colorado]

LOL Well, then you probably aren't familiar with the library incident.

Yes, Boulder is a beautiful place and it's fun to visit, but I can't take it for too long. Like you said...a real time warp.

Thanks again for your insight,

Jan

Are we fascists?

You know, I think I may be--to a certain extent.

[cajungirl]

Odd isn't it but I am sort of thinking that myself. I think I am a little commie too,,in our family I sort of view all the resources as belonging to all of us. Like with the kids,,I kind of feel like my momey is theirs and sharing with them is not a problem for me.

[cajungirl]

Actually I am not bossy at all, I hate to order people around. I am more likely to be judgemental as the kids say. I have no trouble telling people they did something I think is wrong but before the fact, I just don't like telling people what to do, even giving advice. So I think I am sort of a wussie fascist.

[vaudine]

The fact that he is a white American is not the point of your quoted
post of Mr. Campos's piece. The point is that this white American is NOT speaking of other countries, but his own.

Yeah, I am not bossy either. But, I do have preconceived notions of how, basically, everyone should live. And I don't want to harm the people that don't fall into my narrowly defined parameters, I just don't really want them anywhere near me or my family. Fascist lite, maybe? LOL.

[cajungirl]

Me too!!! I think we may be a common type of "domestic fascist".
