I have a bit of a different way of looking at this event apparently than most people that are bloging about it. Or at least it appears that way.
They see all the different parties, and I see all the imported hookers. They talk about “change.” I talk about all the new crack dealers on Colfax Avenue.
Then there will be the street closures. Getting home from work is going to be something else all this week. My detour will result in about a ten mile addition just to get home. Then there are all the delays that will interfere with my work throughout the day.I don’t mind all the added security. After all, these people that are in town are High Value Targets for so many diverse radical groups that to not have the security net tightened would be irresponsible.
Most everybody that I know will be going about their usual business. The only real difference will be that they will be armed all the time. I have to wonder if this convention is the main reason for so many people taking the concealed carry class recently, and getting the permit too.
One thing is for sure though, this week in Denver will be historic.

Being a Bostonian I have to wonder if the people learned anything re the free speech corrals.

From the looks of things I would have to say that I doubt it Alfie. Things were looking pretty good until last night…
