Remarks – Nobody Asked Me – But:
Nobody Asked Me – But: Here is an interesting English lesson. Did you know that the words “race car’ spelled backwards still spells “race car?” And that “eat” is the only word that if you take the first letter and move it to the last, it spells its past tense – “ate.” Nobody Asked Me [...]
Kindling – Then and now
Record history but don’t rewrite it The new History Colorado building is a great structure and will be a great asset for the state now and in the future. However, at my first visit I was somewhat in awe of two exhibits, the poignant stories of the Sand Creek Massacre and the internment of Japanese/Americans [...]
Report From Congress – The growing problem of sexual assaults in our military service
By U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman The United States military is the most capable and most professional fighting force the world has ever seen.

Letter to the Editor
Tancredo ‘spot on’ Tom Tancredo was “spot on!” when he wrote in today’s Denver Post, “It surprises no one that The Denver Post opposes my candidacy for governor, but why pretend to have the best interests of the Republican Party at heart? “Fortunately, the future of the Republican Party in Colorado will be decided by [...]
Kindling – Chinese bring home the bacon
I was just a kid when Communist USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev visited America and traveled to our Midwest and told us “that the Soviet Union was going to bury us…” Those headlines didn’t play well across our lands and instead of them burying us, we laid them to rest under the leadership of President Ronald [...]
Remarks – D-Day 1944 – 69 years ago

“My country ‘tis of thee. Sweet land of Liberty. Of thee I sing. Land where my father died. Land of the Pilgrim’s pride. From every mountain side.

Kindling – The death penalty is a lethal decision
Some friends asked me early this week what I thought the governor would do about Nathan Dunlap and the death penalty.

It is a decision that I’m [...]

Remarks – Memorial Day 2013: Take time to remember the sacrifice of countless others who helped make America strong today
“Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.” Even though those were words were spoken by Franklin D. Roosevelt when he was our president back in the 1930s, they apply even more to us in our coming Memorial Day because so many, many [...]
