Baker: Freedom still rings loud in Brush

By Harvey Baker | Guest Commentary, NE CO Newsroom, Rocky Mountain Voice In Northeast Colorado, where faith, family, and freedom still shape daily life, over 1,200 residents lined the streets under clear skies to celebrate the 70th Annual Brush Fourth of July Parade. This wasn’t just another parade—it was a full-hearted tribute to the traditions and people who keep the American spirit alive. This year’s celebration carried special meaning as the community came together to honor Chester McCoy posthumously as Grand Marshal—a man known for his quiet service, steady integrity, and deep loyalty to both neighbors and country. Alongside his memory, the Brush VFW Color Guard led the way, the American flag held high, reminding everyone that freedom has a price—and every generation must ch...

Beezley: July 4, 1776 was one perfect moment—for liberty and for mankind

By Don Beezley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice After thousands of years of struggle through oppression and tyranny, there was one perfect moment in human history on a hot, summer day in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: July 4, 1776. On that date the Second American Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of the thirteen United States of America–the American Declaration of Independence.  The crowning achievement of the Enlightenment in a one-page document. The Declaration of Independence represents the one moment in history when we got it right. One perfect moment derived from a morally perfect vision. The words on that parchment may fade with time, but its immortal ideas amplify and reverberate through the annals of time: We hold these truths to be sel...

Hunt: Take pride in America this Fourth—and give thanks to God

By Jeff Hunt | Commentary, Substack As fireworks light up the night sky this Fourth of July, let’s do more than celebrate—we must recommit. Recommit to the truth that this nation, the United States of America, was not an accident of history but a divine blessing. Our rights were not granted by kings or bureaucrats. They were endowed by our Creator. And no matter how much the secular left tries to erase that truth, it still echoes from our founding documents and lives on in the hearts of patriotic Americans. It’s time to stop apologizing for loving this country. America is not just a place—it’s an idea. A God-given idea. That all men are created equal. That liberty is worth defending. That government’s power is limited because it answers to something higher. Our Founding Fathers ...

Caldara: Time to see if Polis will choose his socialist friends or Colorado’s future

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Denver Gazette There are only three jobs worth having in Colorado. The first is fortunately mine. Any person who can make a living by indulging his passion is beyond blessed. I somehow have provided for my family by fighting for personal and economic freedom in Colorado. Running Independence Institute, Colorado’s machine to promote liberty principles over party, politicians and special interests, is a dream come true. The next coolest job in Colorado is quarterback for the Denver Broncos, which, by the way, I would be totally awesome at. The only other job I’d want here would be governor, the most influential and powerful gig for changing policy and shaping the state’s future. And to be Jared Polis, a near billionaire to boot, would be a rip. I m...

Turning Point USA launches at Valor Christian: Courage, character, and a little wild West spirit

By RMV Staff | Rocky Mountain Voice It was more than just another Tuesday morning at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado—it was a full-on Turning Point. Nearly 50 students, faculty, and guests gathered for the official launch of Valor’s new Turning Point USA chapter, and let’s just say, the energy was more electric than a Bronco game on a Sunday afternoon. Gabby Reichardt, the Rockies High School Field Representative for Turning Point USA, called the launch a personal milestone. “I'm super proud to have a chapter at Valor as my alma mater and it was definitely a target school of mine for a long time.” She added, “Having a community surrounding the students who want to help support the chapter is really great. And that's definitely part of our broader high school ...

Devine: How Liz Cheney and P’Nut became the bizarre closing symbols of the 2024 election — freedom vs. authoritarianism

By Miranda Devine | Commentary, New York Post P’nut the squirrel and Liz Cheney are two bizarre closing symbols of this election campaign. If we read the tea leaves, we can see how they represent what’s really at stake on Tuesday: freedom versus authoritarianism — only it’s the reverse of what Kamala Harris has been saying. Hint: it’s her political compatriots who killed the squirrel. The brutal seizure and euthanasia of a pet squirrel by New York state officials, and the embrace by Harris of the turncoat Republican daughter of the architect of the Iraq war are really two sides of the same coin: the authoritarian nature of the modern Democratic Party and its Deep State allies. First to P’nut. The cute pet squirrel was orphaned when his mother was hit by a car seven years ago ...

Devotional: A deeper understanding of freedom, and the true essence of independence

By DRAKE HUNTER | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As we celebrate another Fourth of July, a day that symbolizes the very essence of freedom and independence, it's crucial to reflect on the deeper meaning of this cherished value. Some may view "Freedom" as the ability to do whatever we please, but upon closer examination, this perspective is flawed. True freedom goes beyond mere self-indulgence; it encompasses a responsibility to serve and uplift others. As we celebrate our nation's freedom and independence on this significant day, let's not lose sight of the profound significance of freedom, and let’s just believe in freedom correctly. The Bible emphasizes the importance of freedom and reminds us that we are called to be free. It states, "You, my brothers and sisters, were called...
