LOL! I've been to "SHOTGUN WILLIES" plenty of times :D

Again... Good old Beck, giving Dana Loesch a platform of some sort of credibility towards Libertarianism. She's garbage and a phony to true conservatism. Loesch is a covert Fascist.


Too bad Glen Beck gets to exploits this story. At least it got out there and Glendale mayor Mike Dunafon wonderful push on the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution.

The link that Zippy posted shows:
Unemployment August 2012
Here: 7.7%
Colorado: 7.8%

Zippy has a point regardless of the unemployment rate. Perhaps the Glenn Beck title is slightly sensationalized. Otherwise, I feel bad for the people of CO. Mike is a fun guy, though.

It's very tiny apparently. One person from Denver said it was essentially just part of Denver.

369 acres. http://www.glendale.co.us/


The City of Glendale is a bustling, urban community right in the heart of the Denver Metropolitan area. Packed into Glendale’s compact 369 acres you will find 4 beautiful parks, 20 acres of lush landscapes and over 3 miles of walking/jogging/biking trails. Since its incorporation in 1952, Glendale has been home to a vital and varied citizen community that speaks 14 different languages and embraces an international flair for fun. In 2010, Glendale completed a 16-acre sports and event complex—Infinity Park—and has recently launched The Glendale Riverwalk Project, an urban entertainment district unlike any other.
