Log In My Eye, a Speck in yours

I find it appalling that our liberal lawmakers, not only have endorsed Civil Unions, but opened the doors to our public buildings, with public officials, after hours, in order to conduct civil ceremonies for the homosexual community. Would I, as a heterosexual man, along with the conservative community, be granted the same privilege? I think [...]

“Skip” Carlson best qualified for House race

I have real concerns for our country, state, and the politics that affect us all. Loyalty to political parties trumps the message of the candidate and what they stand for in this day and age of media sound bites. I am a proud independent unaffiliated registered voter and as such can support members of both [...]

Khruschev was right

Under Obama, America has embraced communism’s tenets of wealth distributionI remember Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev’s promise, “We will bury you.”  As we look at America today we see how right he was.

The Greeley Tribune vs. The Greeley Gazette

By the Mayor of Vernsville, Vern Spencer Journalism, as practiced by the Greeley Tribune, is often used as a vehicle to harass and defame Greeley citizens.  During Mayor Ed Clark’s term of office, the Tribune used the power of the poison pen to manipulate public opinion against Mayor Ed.  He ended up getting payback by tellingColorado, [...]

SOLYNDRA SYNOPSIS

by THE Mike McCune !  The collapse of Solyndra goes far beyond the $535 million in government grants. It hits at the very heart of why our government has to be changed.

Liberals lying and suspicions

by Kurt OverturfColor me suspicious:  A spooky Democrat operative posing as ‘campaign treasurer’ siphons lotsa cash from lotsa California Democrats just when Obama’s halo breaks, upsetting his Kool-Aid base.  It’s hard to fund ACORN when they’re outlaws, but not with mercenary bundler Kinde Durkee.  Organized crime wise guys ‘take a fall for the team’ to [...]

President to Boehner – security, really?

O The schedule for the Republican presidential debate has been set for months. So why would even the most avid Obama supporters believe that his selection of the same evening to ask for a joint session of congress for a speech was anything other than a clever attempt to upstage his opposition candidates? Because Jay [...]

Presidential Candidates as Tea Party Darlings

by Dr. Michelle Bellini  – First, there was Senator Jim DeMint (South Carolina) – if he was not a darling, he was the “original.” Then, it was former Governor Sarah Palin (former Alaska Governor and VP Candidate).

America…asleep …. to death

Islam only one threatIn much of the Muslim world today, many people died. Most knew when they awoke that they might be killed in the name of freedom. Yet they walked into the streets near their homes and cried out in protest of a government that refused to give up power. They demanded freedom! Their [...]

Vietnam Vet – personal observations of Gardner crowd

I am bitter today as I watch the return home of great Americans – in caskets. I have had the unforgettable honor of leading guys who truly believe freedom is worth everything a person can give. And so they gave. In the 60’s I stood proudly with fellow marines as we were pelted with tomatoes [...]

Greeley Gazette Opinion :

President intent on weakening the U.S. domestically and internationally? The argument about President Obama’s birthright can no longer be settled. Any middle school kid with average computer skills can create a fake birth certificate. Frankly, I don’t think they even did as good a job as I would have. Local computer pro Stan Grant has actually [...]

When does this Gay Rights insanity stop?

by Craig Masters  A constitutional amendment to repeal Colorado’s gay marriage ban and replace it with language saying marriage is allowed regardless of sex could be on the 2012 ballot. Supporters argue that step 1 is for the state title board to review the language of the petitions. That should be step 2! Step 1 [...]

Brett Reese: D6 is wasting million$ – Taxes not the answer

Budget is not “innovative”  In spite of numerous meetings with the public, my colleagues are continuing their fantastic proclivity to image and politics instead of education.  They have held meetings, collected input and then ignored it all for their own whims.  There does not exist on this board a single business owner who is making their [...]

Political Theatre in the House of Representatives

by Dr. Michelle Bellini Today the US House of Representatives voted down two bills related to the US military intervention in Libya.

Clearly, the House is ambivalent about this [...]

Release of Obama’s birth certificate shows power of alternative media

It’s finally happened. After three years of Americans asking one simple question, he finally answered us.  ”Where’s the birth certificate?” had been asked by millions of Americans. The request was for information that each member of the  public is asked to produce every day for various purposes. Following a USA Today poll, showing that only 38% [...]

Reese? Judge For Yourself

Guest Column By Sam Hill www.greeleyreport.com It’s so interesting to observe failing systems propping up other failing systems.  That’s why it came as no surprise when the ailing, failing Lib Trib came out with yet another whack and attack piece against District 6 School Board member Brett Reese, as though he is solely responsible for the [...]

Secular historians: Yeshua Chrestus died but…..

Something over at city hall smells like fish. Rotting fish.

hmmmm, is that Monfort or Tointon??Matt Andrews  -  Greeley and Evans both have taxpayer money they are preparing to squander.  Whenever taxes are proposed to be raised, or needlessly spent, it should be a knee-jerk reaction of the community to examine the respective governing agencies.  Starting with the efficiency of their respective operations and moving [...]
