Something for you nice liberal folks to ponder over the long weekend. Is "Moderatus" possibly a pen name for Jon Caldara? There seem to be some similarities in writing styles.
There could be some writing similarities (you really expect people to voluntarily read either? On a weekend?),
. . . but they’re very incredibly stupid in much different ways . . .
I was thinking the same. Caldera's is more sophisticated form of stupidity. Moderatus is a simpleton.
That's nicer than what I called him a couple days ago when he was on one of his unhinged rants. The word "moron" comes to mind.
Caldera isn’t that stupid. Plus, he’s got a Stupid Institute to play with, no?
CHB — Moldy parrots the party line, including Caldara's nonsense. He's not capable of an original thought. But to answer your question, no — he was outed some time ago. Two different people.

Every day, in every way, the Trump administration gets worse and worse.
Caucus training live stream, coming to you courtesy of Kevin Bell, from Wheatridge, Colorado's Democratic caucus training today. Morgan Carroll, among other area Democratic leaders, is hosting the training.
Here is the link to the written packet distributed by Democracy Enter Colorado.
This is a really bad screw-up. Hawaii Civil Defense sends out an incoming missile warning by mistake. Talk about causing unnecessary panic.
Has You Know Who tweeted that Obama is to blame?
Crooked Hillary did it.
I'm pretty sure Ige will be losing in the primary to Hanabusa. His odds weren't good to start with. But in this case they went over 30 minutes after they knew it was a mistake before they broadcast an all-clear. People were panicing with everyone trying to get home to be with their families and driving as fast as they could, running red lights, etc.
This may be some kind of spiteful retribution against Hawaii's judge Watson and AGs blocking Trump's Muslim travel ban – three times.
San Francisco judges also upheld the blocking of the travel ban. Is San Francisco next for fake missile warnings?
I wish I lived in a world in which this was all silly and impossibly paranoid. But I don't.
Aannnd….it could have been worse. Food for thought, Davie:
yep. otherwise we'd be at war right now
And we would have probably lost
SFL Bennet needs to quit thinking about his posterity and get his posterior in gear in calling out this administration for its thorough and dangerous corruption.
He needs to spike his chronic urge to be bipartisan with a bunch of bullshitters.
He needs to be ready to dump some of his BFF’s in the senate, in private and in public. He needs to stomp on the throat of Senate Decorum.
He needs to dump his Conventional Centrst act and vigorously defend all Coloradans, all citizens, all voters – especially those who put him in office.
He should quit playing too cute for partisan politics. The other side is attacking every norm and has obviously chosen party over principle in a way that must have a strong Democratic (and democratic) response that highlights Republican failures, transgressions and aggressions against our democracy.
SFL BENNET: GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
Oh by the way, if he does much of this he’d easily win re-election. But, of course we know he won’t, and we may never know what an Unafraid Democrat can be in Colorado.
Maybe not, but we have a pretty clear idea of what a whack job would look like!
For a political blog, not one of the damned fools here has any idea but: raise money, suck up to elected D’s, make fun of stoopid Repubs.
Sorry guys, but that’s not good enough.
You know darn well that there's also advocacy for plenty of marching, protesting, occupying, lobbying, caucusing, organizing, advocating, social service, artistic projects, letter writing, etc.
And there are people on here who do those things on a daily basis, either as professionals or volunteers. Then there's the rest of us who work a day job and do these activities for social change when we can.
What's your plan?
1. Whine and bitch
2. Repeat
Attorney General forum going on right now at DemEnter conference in Wheatridge.
This video is supposed to be edited and available later. Pretty interesting right now.
She might not be able to run for the Greeley city council but the U.S. Senate is a different story….

I guess she figured that if Danica Roem could win a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates with much less fame, she should easily be able to take a Senate seat. Ben Cardin will eat her for breakfast and still be hungry.
Danica Roem did not betray her country. Bradley Manning did. Would we forgive Benedict Arnold if he wore women's clothes?
As I said, Cardin's going to chew her up and spit her out. She's far too tainted to get a Senate seat. They're not supposed to behave badly until they’re actually seated.
ROTFLMAO
Look out traitorous transgender bathroom demons, Chappie’s thinking about a comeback! From that site.
Colorado Democrats already fundraising off chance Gordon Klingenschmitt could run for office again
I really wish that man would just go camp out in a truck stop restroom until he finally finds the love of his life, releasing all of us from having to suffer through his obsession with bathroom sex.
Chappie was probably going to be rejected by the voters of CD15 after his proclamation that Michelle Wilkins sort of deserved to be assaulted, because the Bible said so, because abortion. When his legislative colleagues removed him from his committee assignment, he decided that "God wanted him to run for SD17" instead.. Then the EPCO GOP also rejected him in the primary, in favor of relative moderate Bob Gardner.
I don't think Chappie has a prayer of winning, either a primary nomination, or in the general, even in CD17. And, he makes much more money bilking old people out of their savings. But if the Democratic party wants to pass the plate using Chappy's name in vain, then amen to that.
The Curse of Bipartisanship
How is it that Colorado Democrats do not have a "franchise" operation like the one in Alaska? Politico: How to Turn a Red State Purple (Democrats Not Required)
we’re already purple and most all here are happy with that. We could turn this place blue if enough Dems had enough guts. Alas…
Colorado already has a model. I've written in other threads that last year, an unlikely coalition of progressives and common sense conservatives took back the Colorado Springs City Council from the minions of the bloated plutocrats. Read about it in "Hightower Lowdown."
Good article, CHB. I wasn't aware of the "Strawberry Fields" public land theft, and I try to follow Springs news.
It looks as though the Banning Lewis ranch housing communities are booming. I wrote an article on the sweetheart deal between the tax assessor, Mark Lowderman, and the developer, David Jenkins.
Does it look as though any of the 12,000 acres of open space which were supposed to be preserved on the Banning Lewis Ranch will be left as open space? Is that a promise that will be kept?
Colorado Springs is a gorgeous area. It's a shame that its inhabitants seem determined to develop or exploit every last square foot of it, even when over-development leads to loss of life and property from disastrous fires and flooding.
