When everything is a crisis, nothing is

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project How many crises does Colorado have? I don’t know that I can count them all for you, but to give you a sense, I did a Google site search for four major Colorado media outlets: The Denver Gazette, Colorado Politics, CPR, and Colorado Sun.

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice New York’s decision to elect an openly socialist mayor is not an isolated event. It is a symptom - an unmistakable sign that one of America’s greatest cities is entering the next phase of a cycle human history has recorded with brutal consistency. Every society that embraced central planning, concentrated state power, or moral relativism eventually arrived at the same destination: decline, disorder, and suffering that could have been avoided had wisdom not been discarded for ideology. Human history is the basis for the prediction. Not fear. Not partisanship. History. Every civilization that tried to bend reality to political fantasy - rather than align policy with truth - followed the same trajectory. People tolerate rising cost...
