I’ll tone it down when the rumour that Matthew Littman’s father is dating Barney Frank is verified

Hint, Hint: Dems should offer understandably constructive legislation and thus curtail currently justified derision.

It is understandable that the Dems complaint is equivalent to demanding one not hold ones’ nose when present on a feed-lot.

SEEKING INPUT FROM INJURED WORKERS!
Sen. Carroll asks for public testimony for Pinnacol Committee

DENVER- Are you an injured worker or a family member of an injured worker who’s claim was handled by Pinnacol Assurance? What was your experience like? We’d like to hear from you! If you are interested in telling us your story, please email the Committee Chair, Senator Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora), at morgan@senmorgancarroll.com.

******

Resident: Today at 5:17am
I am dismayed at your continued attempt to destroy a valuable resource for Colorado. Your current witchhunt to find negative stories to paint Pinnacol in a negative light is nothing but a blatant political stunt and is clearly seen as such. The money accumulated as reserves of Pinnacol were paid into it for an EXPLICIT reason and not a simply pile of cash for you to spend on whatever causes you deem worthy.

From the article:

House Democrats traded ideas on how to tame the meetings . . . tossing out suggestions such as inviting Boy Scouts to lead off the meeting . . .

Which recent demorat convention featured booing of young Boy Scouts as they paraded the colors? 2000, 2004?

Freedom is not for government to give.

But it IS for all of us to ensure that government does not take away.

On this first principle, we can afford no moderation. The business of protecting our home life from meddling intrusion, our homeland from foreign invasion, and our commerce from reckless restriction is not to be conducted in dulcet tones with bent spines and bowed heads.

The founding fathers did not intend for us to politely implore the masters of government for freedom like Oliver Twist begging Mr. Bumble to fill his meager bowl with more gruel: “Please sir, I want some more.”

Only extreme vigilance – forceful, rabble-rousing, aggressive, unyielding vigilance, can safeguard our inalienable rights. And in practicing this extremism, we have nothing – NOTHING - to apologize for. Ever.

From George Washington's “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior”

Be no Flatterer, neither Play with any that delights not to be Play’d Withal. #17

Read no Letters, Books, or Papers in Company but when there is a Necessity for the doing of it you must ask leave: #18 Taking phone calls during town hall meetings....

Show not yourself glad at the Misfortune of another though he were your enemy. #22 How many times have we seen this from Rahm Emmanuel?

Let your Discourse with Men of Business be Short and Comprehensive. #35 Are you listening President Obama?

In visiting the Sick, do not Presently play the Physician if you be not Knowing therein. #38 No comment necessary.

Wherein you reprove Another be unblameable yourself; for example is more prevalent than Precepts. #48 I don't think this needs comment either.

“House Democrats ask for civility at town halls”

The very people who, since at least the ‘70’s, have been calling anyone who disagreed with them, on ANY point great or small, a NAZI or evil or stupid NOW WANT “CIVILITY”!!!???

Fact is they get civility up to the point that the usual distortions or lies start leaking from their rotten pie holes. THAT is what has changed in the last few months- They are no longer getting away with their lies and nonsense.

I will begin to act civilly when my elected officials remember they work for me and other God fearing hard working Americans that are sick and tired of the constant assault on our liberties by our political overlords. If they keep this up it wouldn’t surprise me if some of these lying crapweasels ended up the guest of honor at a good old fashioned neck tie party.

House Democrats, like their cheerleading media brethren are asking and demanding “civility” at townhall meetings. There are asking this simply because the townhall protests are WINNING! The disruptions are winning over the “independents” and THAT’s why their demanding civility.

IMO, this is exactly like Campaign Finance Reform. When Republicans had the clear fund-raising advantage and Democrats were left with public funding, they, and the liberal media SCREAMED for campaign finance reform. They screamed and screamed until they got it. And then Obama raised $750 million dollars (some from foreign sources) and not ONE peep of protest from the MSM who had for years decried the evil money in campaigns.

It's the same thing now. Conservatives are — finally — getting their message out, and of course the MSM and Democrats are OUTRAGED! at all the incivility of it all.

It is a load of junk. You just KNOW we're being effective by the shrillness of the protestations.

Protest on!!

I'll give them civility because it gives me (for now) a strategic advantage.

However, those who wish to enslave me deserve no civility.
