So according to this Daily Camera story, the folks in Denver and Boulder apparently want to show visitors who might be in town for the upcoming Democrat Party National Convention something about local values.
Now the question is, what are the values of the Denver/Boulder area and how do they plan to showcase those for the visitors.
I would suggest theme exhibits based on core Denver/Boulder values, such as:
Illegal Aliens are great. This is pure Denver. Maybe an exhibit dealing with overcrowded schools, jammed criminal court dockets and clogged Emergency Rooms. Why not even teach them to throw MS-13 gang signs?
How to be a trust-fund kid. I'm sure there are plenty around Boulder and Nederland. Now assuming that organizers can locate a few who aren't drunk, high, or busy protesting things that they don't understand, maybe they could offer insight on what it's like to be a rich but totally useless failure by the age of twenty.
Bums are cool. Take the visitors to Denver's Pearl Street Mall and watch as they're virtually mobbed by the large herd of panhandlers that Denver refuses to move along. Since Denver has a "Hug-a-wino" policy second only to that of San Francisco,
The local dope culture. Remember people...Boulder wishes that it could be like Amsterdam, where everyone can walk around toking a joint, injecting meth or hitting a crack pipe. Take the visitors up there and show them a bunch of no-job-having burnouts sitting in any of the local parks. Better yet--get the trust-fund kids to be tour guides for that. It should work out since most of them are members of the same fry-your-brain culture as the other non-rich stoners and they could make introductions and help the out-of-town Dems score something better than the zip bags of stems n' seeds that they'll otherwise have to try to score down on Colfax in Denver.
There's lots of local values that DNC organizers can showcase at the convention. Any of the above can send the visitors home with a solid taste of Denver and/or Boulder.
But what would happen to Denver's "Local Culture" would if a riot starts in the streets? Remember the convention in Chicago in 1968?
ReplyDeleteAbbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, & David Dellinger have departed, but Tommie the Commie Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner, and Bobby Seale are still around.
Not to mention Bill Ayers!
Never mind the "local culture"! They've got bigger things to worry about!
Bill Ayers? You mean Obama's long-time pal? I'm sure he won't be far from the convention, his felony convictions notwithstanding!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, my stomping grounds. Don't forget that the city of Denver legalized marijuana possession as well. These days I go to Boulder only if I have to, and you of course have Boulder pegged correctly. Denver isn't all bad though. You just have to know where to go.
ReplyDeleteDeGette is a liberal troll. She only wins because of the district she's in and the thought of her wanting to promote "western values" is sickening. She's has no clue of what ideology exists outside her district.
I fear the impending DNC. If I didn't have to worry about the school year starting, I'd high-tail it out of here.
