Perhaps it is the prolonged stress of the many problems our nation is enduring right now, but The Journal’s account of the Mesa County Republican assembly made my usually uneventful day. As a registered independent, I try to vote according to my informed comparisons. But the humor of the assembly was simply incomparable. Some of the proposed resolutions conflict with each other. Do Democrats promote the socialist principle of public ownership of the means of production and distribution, or tyranny with unjust and oppressive rule concentrated in a single individual? Or do the Republicans simply like the sound of scary systemic nouns?
While the GOP has always advocated a strict interpretation of the Constitution, the relationship of gun ownership to a well-regulated militia seems to have transmuted into the right of any unbalanced yo-yo to possess military grade weaponry to inflict optimal damage upon fellow citizens. If I am the “real target,” I sincerely hope Tina Peters IS “standing in the way.” And they might take a look at our Bill of Rights before registering and regulating The Journal to protect us against “the Marxist agenda.”
The proposals to abolish many of accommodations Colorado voters have relied upon seem a childish plot to punish the team who won the game. Seriously? Do they not realize that suppressing voting access will discourage as many Republicans as Democrats?
