of our Blue state, Colorado Springs is the HQ of the Repub Party and conservative Christians in Colorado. In another example of Pub hypocrisy, they rail against Big Govt, and the 'handouts' that come with it, BUT, it is BY FAR the largest concentration of military and retired military to be found in this part of the world. Show me a bigger example of Big Gov't than the military, where you can retire after 20 years, with a generous gov't check, free health care and discount groceries at the PX. As these self-righteous 'retirees' scream about 'handouts' to the poor, they 'double-dip' and get a 2nd job, so they can get TWO gov't checks when they reach 62. This bastion of Repub church-goers is the exact opposite of Jesus' teaching as they fight to cut assistance to the poorest and neediest of our society, while espousing tax cuts for the richest 1% and major corporations. In a case of supreme irony, the inhabitants who claim God's wrath upon the unrighteous (gays, non-believers, etc.) have been the recipients of several record-breaking 'Acts of God', in the form of HUGE lighning caused forest fires and devastating floods that followed. Maybe there is a God, and he doesn't like blatant hypocrites...
