Colorado residents are in serious trouble, and it's their own fault. Totalitarianism is descending on the Rocky Mountain state because radical leftists are being elected to high positions. Soon, Colorado will mirror California.
When I lived there in the late 1970's, Colorado was essentially a traditional state that fostered individualism. Yes, radicals dominated Boulder and Aspen, but the culture was not affected by the extremists.
Now they rule.
The latest outrage is a series of proposed new laws that gut parental authority and spit in the face of religious freedom. The legislature in Denver wants all Coloradans to fund abortions as well as gender-changing surgery.
Even worse, a law would allow children to undergo sex-changing procedures without permission from their parents, the state again picking up the tab.
The federal Hyde Amendment forbids Washington from using tax dollars for abortions; however, Colorado seeks to override Hyde. That's illegal, of course, but the totalitarians are trying.
The gender-minor thing is simply unbelievable. The state will dictate a child's upbringing, not the parents.
Mao Zedong would love this.
The leftist governor, Jared Polis, hasn't yet signed the bill but likely will. Then the court challenges should begin.
But no matter what happens, this is an all-time Rocky Mountain low.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
