When I first moved here we were able to target shoot at a place across the road from the Beech Aircraft Plant that was on the Foothills Road between Boulder and Lyons. Those days are long gone with all the high priced homes in the area now!

Rubio may have appeared nervous but he was right on the money when it came to spelling out what this country really needs.

First of all, the nation is not stronger and we are looked at as weaker in much of the world and our economy has not even begun to get back to where we were before the crash of the housing bubble that.was pushed on us by the liberals who thought more minorities should own houses whether they could pay for them or not. The on line viewer participation graphs last night made it evident that those in both parties now realize that this President's view of Utopia is nothing more than tax and spend and spend far more than can possibly be taxed thus creating an ever larger deficit. As a former Community Organizer all this President knows how to do is spend our tax money and grow government rather than the economy. He does not learn from mistakes of the past as he wants more money to create more Solyndras but this term he's calling it an investment rather than stimulus money. What is evident in Obama's State of the Union Address is that he is still spinning and the speech was full of misinformation and exaggeration.

His so called investments in this and that is just more stimulus that didn't work during his first term and put us deeper in debt.

Our Campaigner and Chief will most likely continue to make excuses, play the blame game and be divisive and perhaps even derisive. If he runs true to form there will be little of substance and much spinning. Quite like the ads he ran here during the campaign. Obviously a great number of uninformed and misinformed believed his misrepresentations of what he stands for and is trying to do to this country. He and his followers want to dismantle our Constitution and bring us a very repressive form of government that is failing in Europe.and failed in Russia.

My guess is zero to none. In many subdivisions the back yards only have 25 foot setbacks.

I want to see people be able to excel in their chosen field, not held back because some one else has more seniority. The unions in their quest for ever higher pay and huge pensions are bankrupting cities and states across the country. The worse off are almost always those that are run by Democrats.

This is not something for the state to mandate but should be left up to each locality.

It resulted in 38 children and 6 adults being killed.

Wade made abortion safer and has saved millions of women's lives." And at the same time killed millions of unborn babies and who knows how many women have suffered mental anguish as time passes and they realize what they have done.

Those of us who still want our liberty and freedom are mocked and called paranoid. This President sees unlimited possibilities in his quest to destroy free enterprise and the free market system. He knows nothing about and cares nothing about actually improving our economy. For him it is all about redistribution of the wealth and I can't think of another President who had such a hatred for the Constitution and our country.

They need to ask themselves which party refuses to even consider school vouchers so their kids can attend their school of choice? It is time people began understanding that this President is doing nothing to help create jobs in this country. He promotes class envy, penalizes those who work hard and succeed, creates more and more regulations that impede businesses and kill the jobs. The number of minorities who are here illegally also creates problems when it comes to being gainfully employed and having good paying jobs.

One does not have to be paranoid to see that he has a deep hatred for this country and our Constitution and it is evident to anyone who pays close attention to the things he says or has said going back in his past in Chicago. He was on the board of an Anti-Gun Group way back then and has made it quite plain over the years that he is against gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment. .
