		<description><![CDATA[Now that they have regained total control of the State Capitol, Democrat leaders in the legislature just cannot resist kicking rural Colorado every time they get a chance. It was necessary, they told us, for rural Coloradans – and gun owners everywhere – to compromise our lifestyle and our freedom as part of their irrational [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Colorado lawmakers consider an overhaul of the way the state funds K-12 education, more people are noticing that schools are increasingly forced to pay for the past rather than to invest in the future. Our public schools must take money out of the classroom in order to pay for investment losses and unaffordable promises [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The culture of Washington is one of compromise.  Go along.  Get along.  Get something done – good, bad or otherwise. Sometimes compromise is necessary.  When the levers of power are divided, reality dictates two choices: live with the status quo or do some “horse trading” in order to make changes that are marginally better. When [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Cohen, a reliably liberal columnist for the Washington Post, unloaded on Barack Obama in today&#8217;s op-ed. Not that he&#8217;s going to vote for Romney, but Cohen certainly hits the nail on the head about our Narcissist in Chief: &#8220;Obama never espoused a cause bigger than his own political survival.&#8221; &#8230; &#8220;Bobby Kennedy showed his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What’s more frustrating about President Obama – his ignorance of how difficult it is to make a profit in business or his arrogance that there’s so little he doesn’t know? Here’s a man with less business experience than a third-grader with a lemonade stand and who has said that during his one, brief private-sector job [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For anyone who naively thought the Supreme Court would render a clean and tidy decision on ObamaCare, Chief Justice John Roberts’ majority-of-one opinion should be instructive. Rarely does the high court render an opinion that draws bright lines by simply applying the constitution as written. More often, the court’s opinion is sufficiently muddled that a [...]]]></description>

After the Supreme Court concluded its hearings on the Affordable Care Act (aka “ObamaCare”), President Obama said, during a White House news conference [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like Rick Santorum.  I voted for him.  I even donated to his campaign.  I believe that he is a credible conservative who could provide a striking contrast to Barack Obama and who could resonate with blue-collar voters. Santorum is a good person, but a good person must also recognize when he’s fighting because he [...]]]></description>
