I ran across this post by former state legislator turned El Paso County Commissioner Mark Waller (R) in which he claims a link between an increasing homeless population in Colorado and the legalization of cannabis. To support his view, he links to this article, which doesn’t contain a shred of supporting evidence for the claim other than anecdotal quotes and data that does not support a causal conclusion.
While most people were asleep last week, the Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins reported Denver Post political reporter John Frank’s view, offered during a panel discussion Nov. 15, that partisan news seems to be expanding in Colorado.
You might remember State Senator Ray Scott (R-Grand Junction) from the many dumb things he says and false claims he makes. I don’t use the word “dumb” recklessly here. Normally I prefer “ignorant” because people might not know better, but in this case I think it fits.
If you read longtime Colorado writer Ari Armstrong, you know he swims mostly in conservative circles, but he’s frustrated with today’s liberals and conservatives.
Colorado State Senator Tim Neville (R) is a big proponent of tax dollars in the form of vouchers going to religious schools that have exclusionary enrollment and teach religion to the kids (see the Douglas County rules that were struck down by the court as a violation of the Constitution). That seems to change when the values being taught aren’t the ones to which he ascribes. I would actually agree with him here if he weren’t such a hypocrite.
There’s a lot of talk about the “bubble” that people are living in when they engage in social media. This weekend provided a perfect example.
Although the Daily Signal isn’t a “fake” news site by the definition, the article Colorado State Sen. Tim Neville (R-Littleton) is citing is intentionally misleading—cherry-picking a report that actually shows immigrants make a net-positive contribution to our country by the time they’ve lived here for a few generations.
Rolly Fischer, who bravely fought off 2010 GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis’ attempts to blame him for McInnis’ plagiarized water articles, died last week in Glenwood Springs.
Judy Reyher, the Republican Chair of Otero County in Colorado, is very active on Facebook, especially when it comes to sharing her opinions on race. Here are some of her greatest hits. Warning: You may want to sit down for this.
