That's right. We are a lot of fun because we like facts and figures and fairly well thought out thoughts. Here is to all those who think they have the skill set and perspective to offer meaty comments. Keep those barbs and banter coming.
conservative Colorado Peak Politics, which describes itself as “Colorado’s Conservative Bully Pulpit.”
Who would want to hang out in a pulpit for Conservative Bullies, anyway?
When (and in recent years, if) I get into a pulpit, I prefer to stick a bit closer to the themes of Micah. Skipping over the sexist limitations of pronouns and generic sexist focus on "O man,"
What I notice about Peak Politics is that they're really, really lazy. They very seldom bother to generate their own stories. They'll take someone else's story, as they did with mine about the Yuma protesters, and twist it and take quotes out of context to fit their "poor victimized Republicans" memes.
They never, ever do original investigative reporting.
They never, ever do analysis or commentary on the divisions within the Republican party: evangelical vs corporate, populist vs wealthy donors, the Bannon wing or Cruz wing vs the Trump wing. That would actually be useful; but Peaks won’t do it.
They promote a lot of crap memes from social media, some of which I recognize as originating from Russian or foreign trolls. They don't allow anonymous comments on their site, so if someone criticizes them, that poster is vulnerable to harassment on Facebook.
They love stories about how conservatives are victimized by liberals, even if they have to make up "alternative facts" as the basis of the story, which they do often.
It's less a news blog than a pity party.
