Media / Local News A confederacy of Constitutionalists
Posted by Bryce Crawford on Sat, Jan 16, 2010 at 8:10 AM
In contentious times like these, it can be difficult for your average, true-red-white-and-blue conservative to find an outlet that, you know, gets it.
Can’t turn to FOX News — they're only increasing their audience a measly 7 percent (good for third-most prime-time viewers among all cable channels), and apparently they’ll hire anybody.
Can’t turn to the G — they’re busy pushing FreshInk with their editorial space. How’s a conservative supposed to get good and worked up over how the tragedy in Haiti will play right into Barack Hussein Obama’s hands when most of the daily's time is spent begging for church activity updates?
Focus on the Family might be an option, but they’re pretty busy wrapping up their estimated $2.8 million dollar 30-second commercial starring the Bible-verse-on-eye-black-loving-est quarterback that ever done flung the pigskin. Surely the 275 people Focus has laid off in recent years will understand the cost after they witness the power and majesty of Tim Tebow doing ... anything.
No, these will not do. That’s why I thank God and Ronald Reagan (but I repeat myself) for The Constitutionalist Today, southern Colorado's newest voice of reason.
Published by Lana Fore-Warkocz — who laments on her Facebook page that the drop-out of Bill Ritter is one less Democrat "to make 'walk the plank' …" (do execution jokes ever get old?) — The Constitutionalist Today will launch Feb. 1 and be distributed at more than 900 locations.
TCT is bringing out the big guns too. Richard Randall has signed on, as has Jeff Crank.
What can we, the huddled masses yearning for Glenn Beck-isms, expect? What does our new freedom rag value?
"We the People" are created equal; therefore, no one person is above the law.
Including high level ex-Bush administration officials like Dick Cheney and Scooter Lib … oh.
"We the People" believe in traditional famliy [sic] values. Nobody makes decisions for me or my family aside from us.
Especially if you’re one of the thousands of bisexual, gay, lesbian and transg … oh.
"We the People" believe in God and His blessings for America.
Just like this guy.
One last goal of TCT is to "discover Constitutionalists who don’t yet realize what they are ..."
Personally, I can’t wait.

you-all mocked the tea-parties too - didn't take Scott Brown seriously in MA - and continued to push HCR long after the people declared their discomfiture over it's size and speed...
keep mocking what you don't (can't seem) to understand and watch while it (populist unrest) runs roughshod over your candidates.

Shucks! You must have found that typo just a day or two before we did...and to think I'm usually so meticulous! Thank you for the free publicity, but we've only had 4 visitors referred from your website since this blog post was published. Either your readers aren't interested in us beyond your sarcastic take, or you don't have many readers. Hopefully this page sees a bit more lift due to our link back...and you're certainly welcome! :)

Awesome! I am very proud to be writing for this new "freedom rag." I find it interesting that the Indy considers a publication which seeks to promote and uphold the constitutional principles of freedom to be "a newspaper or magazine regarded with contempt or distaste." [Random House dictionary]. I guess that is par for the course in your world. Good luck with that!

Hey jimpfaff. Great name by the way? First lets see you define "rag." Now lets see if the Independent falls into that category. What does Random House say about that? Please post your comments, we are all dying to know where you stand on this issue!
