I'm donating anything I can, time, money, manpower, I'm hitting the streets and getting others involved. If we loss this state, I'm going to be able to look in the mirror & know that I personally did everything in my power to NOT let it happen. I believe this is the mentality we all need to take........if we don't fight it........then who will?
This attitude assumes there's only one reason one would want to stay or leave...a political motivation. Many people, my wife and I included, weigh the political issues with other issues important in their lives and the lives of their families. It's not necessarily an either/or, single topic issue.

Not to mention this mentality cedes states like CA to the liberals. Why is staying and "fighting" here more important than fighting liberalism elsewhere? I don't think that makes any sense at all.

On the other hand, if someone feels the way you do about a life in CO then by all means do you what you can to shape it how you see fit. But why demean someone, or attempt to force your will ("this is the mentality we all need to take") on others. That sounds to me exactly like that which you so loudly proclaim to be fighting against.

It also sounds exactly like the liberal mentality that says, "can't we all agree no one needs ________"? No...we can't all agree. Sorry. I want no part of that attitude from either the left or the right.
