Ah, he's just demonizing and insulting everybody who wasn't born on a rural Colorado ranch, like he always does (except for the ocassional and useful post about climate). Same 'ole hate-filled broken record he spins wishing everybody would die or at least go away.

maybe that refers to those who can afford $1000 rents, paid-in-full grad degrees, cosmetics, lipo, multi-level mc-mansions, $10 burgers, and REI/IKEA. probably not those struggling along on scholarships and loans, unemployment, food stamps, social security, generic groceries, walmarts, mcdonalds family outings and minimum wage jobs. the front range seems to have both in abundance, from what i've seen - with more every day, as CO "fever" continues unabated. if it was great forty years ago, right now is pretty good compared to what the next forty years will bring. i can't wait to see whats happening on the west slope.

Bill Burr too many people, is a pretty funny standup routine. I'd hot link it, but it's got lots of naughty words, so you'll have to cut and paste in into google yourself.

Oh yea, and it's all California's fault for setting a bad example and then sending its infected minions abroad.

Oh well, since you want to b-lame it on the Californians, let's trace back the ancestry to it's roots. Much the population of California originally migrated from the eastern and midwestern states in the 20th century, and their ancestors came from Europe, and if you keep going back, those people may be descendants of the caveman. So we can say that the Cali-fornication of Colorado is really the fault of the caveman. Those damn cavemen should have stayed in their caves.

Either that or ancient Iraquis.

Thank you.

The good news is that us grumpy old timers who have lived in Colorado since before god made dirt are the ones who are going to die off. The bad news is that the rest of you are going to take our places unless you leave the state before too much longer.

I can hear it now: "Sonny back in 2013 Colorado Springs was the REAL Colorado! It was a little place with only about a half million people, not the sprawl with 6 million godless inhabitants like it has now. And back in the day, people in the Springs would have given you the shirt off their backs - good Christian folk that they were. Of course that was before Focus on the Family got run out of town by all those pagans that kept moving into Manitou Springs from the Southern Appalachians. There's a reason for that saying, "Don't Kentuck over Manitou!" Did you know that there's now more hill billies living in Crystal Park than they are in West Virginia? True! This state sure ain't as nice as it was back in 2013 and 2014 before all that white trash with their coon hounds moved in and that's a fact!"

Yes Tedd Haggard was always taking his shirt off, so I hear.

But, seriously why would anyone expect their state to stay the same in this day and age? Hello? (taps on forehead).. anyone home?
