Editor’s Note: Defining Terrorism and Terrorists

As news unfolded in Colorado Springs on Friday involving a gunman shooting civilians and police officers, it led to a separate conversation on social media about the proper use of the words “terrorism,” “terrorist,” and “terror.” After considering the definitions of these words (via Merriam-Webster, below), Colorado Pols has decided to enact an editorial change on this […]

Slow Down! Initiative 55 (Redistricting) Is a Rough Draft, Not a Real Policy Fix

Redistricting. Reapportionment. Gerrymandering. Big words that create big problems. There is no political or policy issue that is not affected by the re-drawing of legislative and congressional districts every 10 years. A truly representative democracy requires that we regularly adjust local “boundaries” in an effort to create a responsive and responsible government that reflects our […]

Rep. Clarice Navarro-Ratzlaff: Seal Off Colorado?

We’ve seen plenty of reactions from Colorado politicians to the Paris terrorist attacks and subsequent controversy over allowing Syrian refugees into the United States, but this (we hope) ill-thought-out Facebook stream of consciousness from GOP Rep. Clarice Navarro-Ratzlaff of Pueblo stands apart from even the “usual” crazy talkers like Tom Tancredo and Sen. Laura Waters Woods:   So, […]

(Rumor doesn’t have it – Promoted by Colorado Pols) On Facebook Monday, Rep. Scott Tipton posted the apparent misinformation that “one of the bombers involved in the Paris attacks had a Syrian refugee passport.” This is almost certainly wrong, apparently a so-called false flag, yet the statement remains on Tipton’s official Facebook page. Newsweek reported: “Serbian […]

A Colorado governor who fought bigotry–and won in the end

(Past is prologue – Promoted by Colorado Pols) During WWII, the U.S. government forced Japanese Americans  from their homes on the West Coast and moved them to interior states. Kansas Gov.
