There was once a shepherd who found a wolf caught in a snare at the edge of his pasture.

The wolf begged to be freed.

“I was hungry,” it said. “That is all. Spare me, and I will remember your mercy!”

The shepherd cut the rope.

The next night, three lambs were gone.

Again the shepherd found the wolf. Again it pleaded. Again the shepherd convinced himself that mercy was proof of his goodness.

By winter, half the flock was dead.

An old farmer finally asked him, “Why do you keep freeing it?”

The shepherd answered, “Because I refuse to become cruel.”

The farmer looked at the empty field and said, “Then understand what you have done. You were not merciful to the wolf. You were cruel to everything that trusted you to keep them safe.”

That’s the lesson.

Mercy without judgment isn’t virtue. When someone openly intends to destroy what has been entrusted to you, endless forgiveness doesn’t make you righteous. It makes everyone behind you pay for your vanity.

@MFT_Get_Funded No, Id keep working.

My answer anytime anyone acts like a defeatist. Colorado is not doomed! Jared Polis and his merry band of globalists will be a blip in the history of this great State! Fight Colorado!!

[KRobertsCo @krob686]

Absolutely worth fighting for! The pendulum always swings back. Eventually its stops in the middle.

[Denver Fail @mrosazza]

Incredible beauty in Colorado. Its worth fighting for?

[KRobertsCo @krob686]

Good! Take them to court!

[Hunter @BigGameScouts]

Back in July, Colorado cut the daily limit on 17 furbearers, including coyotes, bobcats, foxes, raccoons and beaver, to two per day.

Now two sportsmen's groups are taking it to court. Safari Club International and Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation filed in Denver District Court on Oct 2.

@ben_bagelbites 1 birding shotgun isnt enough, in the shotgun category you need a 20 and 12 gauge for upland plus a 12 gauge just turkeys. A .410 for the youth in the family and just for fun. Plus a tactical 12 gauge for the house. Numerous centerline from .22-250 up to .30 cal.

@actionxander They are also delicious! Probably my favorite native wildgame!

Colorado has something awesome called the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Among other things, it protects a simple principle: everyone pays the same state income-tax rate. If your income doubles, your tax doubles. Seems reasonable, right?

Amendment 87 would repeal that protection and nearly double the top marginal state tax rate while modestly reducing the lowest rates.

Under the new rules, doubling your taxable income could mean a state income-tax bill nearly four times what you’d owe on your current income today.

To me, this looks like a blatant attempt to buy votes: the majority votes themselves a tax break funded by much higher taxes on a small minority.

And it hits startups especially hard. Founders and early employees often spend years building something before receiving a substantial payoff from selling their shares after an IPO or in an acquisition. A decade of work with no guarantee of success can produce a payout counted as income in a single year—and taxed at much higher rates.

I’ve spent a decade building Boom in Colorado, on track to create hundreds of high-paying jobs. Colorado’s tax fairness was one reason I chose to build here. Now voters are being asked to change those rules and take a much larger share of a potential taxable payoff from that work.

Should I have built Boom in Texas, which has no state personal income tax? Should the next ambitious founder choose Colorado or somewhere else?

Colorado is at a crossroads. Do we want to stay true to our OG spirit of rugged independence, freedom, and fairness—or make Colorado a less attractive place to build?

Punishing success is morally wrong and bad policy to boot. We should be celebrating the people who build new things and create new wealth for themselves and others. Their work gives us companies, products, and jobs.

Let’s keep Colorado as one of the best places to live, build, create, and innovate—and to enjoy the rewards of our hard-fought efforts.

I’m voting no on Amendment 87.

@turner_emi65255 Ive carried a few elk down that trail. Im pretty familiar with that hillside. That last 100ft is a pita with elk meat on the back!

This is a major issue that everyone should be concerned about.

Last week the US Supreme Court heard the oral arguments for a case that has the potential of disrupting our entire culture, and it is coming from Colorado’s Boulder County. The county is suing the oil refinery, Suncor, on the North side of Denver, for hurting the citizens in Boulder County. Not because of specific toxic fumes spraying over the county. In fact the prevailing winds blow away from Boulder County and that is not the point. Boulder is suing because they claim the oil and gas industry is causing climate change and therefore they must pay the county for damages.

The Suncor refinery attorney told the court: “If Boulder’s claims are allowed to go forward, some 90,000 municipalities across the country will have the ability to make national and international energy policy by asking juries to impose catastrophic damages on selected fossil fuel producers,” And the 90.000 number is actually understating the problem of the suit, for any business in the chain of extracting, refining and delivering oil and gas could be sued.

Not really mentioning the highly questionable claim that the citizens of Boulder County are actually being harmed by any climate changes that are occuring, or that the CO2 that results from the combustion of oil and gas is the actual source of that climate change, if this suit is allowed to go forward it could cripple this vital industry that our modern world needs to function.

This use of lawfare, if allowed to continue is literally more dangerous than any other physical threat our nation and culture is facing. I have always considered the Left’s ideas to be a bit foolish and unhinged, but Boulder County is playing with a cultural suicide pact of astounding and unprecidented hubris.

I trust SCOTUS will know what to do with this case. I am grateful for the court’s majority, but in this case it ought to be a unanimous smackdown.
