Alcohol...and oldie and not a goodie.
It took my paternal grandma at age 42 and left my dad on his own at 16 years.
It took my dad’s brain in the end.
It nearly killed my brother a few times.
What a wonderful legacy it leaves.
And it gives kids a WONDERFUL foundation for life and esteem.
But that’s a different story, isn’t it?
I’ve seen that CO Spgs housing is still relatively low compared to the Denver metro, but that will change. Beautiful area down there, but it won’t be long before it’s busting at the seams. For you it already was nearly 20 years ago.
Geez, that’s a recipe for success!
Saw a PBS report last year that Garden City, KS has been actively courting Muslims for years.
I wonder how many people in Garden City knew that was going on. It was sure a surprise to most of us in Iowa and I still don't know who put up the billboards in Chicago.
The left does that regularly to other states, colonizes them. The right cannot do that. When those who can’t deal with California any more emigrate they take California with them. Their beef is with what happens to them in a socialist utopia state, not with the policies that made the socialist utopia. They think they are conservatives and maybe even voted for Trump but at street level they want all the social and land use controls and services of the state they run from.
‘The magnet that seems to pull today’s new Coloradans are pretty mountains, a job, and home that somehow costs less than the one they’re selling in California.;
I was in Colorado last summer; very nice, however, not a place in which I would wish to live...
Then you helped create the homeless/street bums problem.
There are parts of California that are still good Conservative areas. The others, I’d just visit.
I grew up here. It’s my home. It’s very painful to watch what has taken place.
California was publicized as the place where you could come and live some form of ultra American Dream. A lot of decent people came here, but unfortunately far more crazies made the trip and settled down.
The federal government moved in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, illegals, and people called refugees who were anything but.
Fairly large moderately sized towns were flipped upside down in a matter of a few decades. They are now foreign national enclaves.
Gone is the ability for the normal societal support for typical American cuisine restaurants. Gone are a number of businesses that used to cater to traditional Americans.
Our institutions have been taken over. It’s like someone picked you up and dropped you on foreign territory.
It goes beyond the obvious. People from foreign nations think differently than we do. To them it’s not considered a problem to cut in line. It’s not considered a problem to pull out from a business onto the street without even looking. It’s not considered an insult to demand the flag of your former nation be flown on top of the American city’s flagpole on days important to them.
These people DO NOT come here to become a part of us. They come here to occupy territory and take over, building THEIR old country right here.
Not just my town, by my entire region is inhabited by foreign nations of one sort or another.
This is what has been ushered in by our masters in Washington, D. C.
If this diversity is so important, why are no Southern Hemisphere nations being demanded to do it?
Name one nation other than predominantly White, that is being forced to relinquish a long standing majority.
In South Africa, where diversity had been ongoing, the immigrants are being trashed and told to get out. Laws are being changed to confiscate their property.
This is a globalist effort, pure and simple, and our Congress is behind it lock stock and barrel.
I imagine the meat packers want them for cheap labor.
This reminds me of Vermont also. It got all the New York City and New Jersey folks coming into the state and changing what Vermont was. Really sad!
I love Wyoming. I have been up there quite a few times. Last time was a couple of years ago in August 2016...my daughter and I went up to Devil’s Tower. Coming back on I-25, I couldn’t believe how open the roads were. This was summer and we were often the only ones on the road. After driving in frustrating traffic in the Denver metro, it was like paradise. The only thing...too darn cold up there and windy starting in Fall. We get cold here, too, but there are so many sunny days even in the winter. I’m spoiled with that.
‘I think it is some kind of door way to the demonic realms’
hyperbolize much...?
That’s a big part of it, I do believe. Same in Grand Island, NE and Greeley, CO.
Our fore fathers were right , and wise , to see the dangers inherent in marijuana use . We rejected them eventually and we shall pay the costs . Welcome to the Rastafarian States of what used to be America
Yes, demonics...
There were plenty of homeless/street bums in Colorado long before marijuana was legalized. In any case, blaming the problem of the homeless and bums on marijuana being legal is no different than blaming the repeal of Prohibition.
The fault lies overwhelmingly in the homeless and bums themselves for the choices they make.
‘It’s all about marijuana in Colorado- it has taken over the culture in many places there.’
that’s merely due to its relative newness...
The Mexifornians have turned Colorado into the same shithole they were going there to escape from. Idaho is next.
Liberals destroy everything everywhere they go.
It damn near killed me. 28 years of a better life now. One day at a time.
