Yep. That's an impressive lights display! Of course, if anyone stops to think about the meaning behind the transformation, it should make any honest American want to throw up.

The left's attempt to shift the political discourse appears to have had some success, but our struggling, bruised and battered economy will be the driving issue for me and family members who've voiced their opinions. With 8 siblings, a slew of in-laws, and nearly 20 of the next generation most of whom are recently out of school, there's not a single voice of support for the President. To the contrary; this election is so critically important, every one of my family are on board with ABO this election and are prepared to vote for ANYONE BUT Obama!

Interesting that another Coloradoan suggested measures of improvement in the metro area here. It's a shame that it's not visible to real American citizens. We know who's benefited, and it's not our neighbors and long-term middle class folks anywhere along the west and southwest sections of the Denver metro region. In fact, businesses have closed and continue to close here in stunning numbers, and there's been no slowdown of foreclosure activity in our formerly solidly middle class neighborhood to the west of Marston Lakes. Folks in this area are simply out of work and forced to watch cheap, substandard work turned in by Mexican Nationals who have no legal right to be here. A nearby King Soopers grocery store provides one of the best examples of what's happened.

The King Soopers at Sheridan and Dartmouth has been under expansion for almost half a year now, and was enlarged because of its position as the top revenue producer in the chain in the Denver region. It will top out at just under 120,000 square feet, and while it’s fallen off to second or third in sales overall through this construction phase, it's fully expected to be restored to a comfortable position atop the revenue producers for KS within another month or two. Notable is its location in an area that is upwards of 70-75?ispanic directly to the east, and probably more in the 50?ange to the west where many older homes are still owned and occupied by white Anglo Saxons who've been in them for decades. When those older homes are sold, they routinely go to the next wave of newcomers from south of the border.

One of the interesting and thought provoking things to watch at that King Soopers location occurs during the daytime when shopping is done mostly by the area's shrinking numbers of Anglos. Yes, most are in their late 40's on up, but it's far from limited to a normal retirement crowd. During evenings and weekends, shoppers there are decidedly Hispanic in number, many of whom can’t speak more than a few words of English. I’m convinced Latino shoppers often approach or exceed 70?uring those times when people typically find employed individuals during their non-work hours. More than that, the store brings in substantial revenue from food stamps, especially during those evening and weekend hours when many of the Mexican workers who are paid under the table arrive and invest their Social Services gifted EBT dollars.

Plenty of us resent the purposeful deception. And the suggestion from someone who claims to live in the area telling others the economy is good here smells like a liberal shill. It's simply an outright lie! Our part of the southwest metro area has seen no turn in jobs or credible signs of recovery the spin doctors claim is taking place. Yes, the illegals work here and get generous public funds in support from the rest of us, while Anglos hunker down for an all too real version of Survivor. Anyone who isn't living in a Sanctuary City will probably struggle to get the reality of what this as-of-yet unchecked invasion is doing to American citizens and local economies. It's absolutely shocking, and to many of our neighbors, devastating! Yes, former Mayor, now Governor Hickenlooper deserves his share of the credit. He's been a proponent of Sanctuary City policies, just as his Democratic predecessors were. And not a one of them has shown reasonable care or concern for legitimate citizen Coloradoans.

That map and the BLS statistics are beyond telling. They're precisely why this failure of a President cannot be reelected!
