"You can thank your liberal politicians" the repressed fuckbag says in his email.

Well, I'd like him to know that Amendment 64, which legalized rec weed in CO, was passed by a popular vote and not politicians in the legislature. It passed 55% to 45% (not a landslide, but decisive) in a high turnout election. Among that 55% of yes votes were a significant number of Republicans - including Tom Tancredo, a conservative Republican who was strongly in favor of legalization.

Also, the Democratic, "liberal" governor of the state at the time was opposed to Amendment 64 and spoke out against it.

Fuck Jeffcoat. Fuck Republicans. Fuck conservatism. And fuck the United States...no, wait, God bless the United States of America. (Almost got carried away, there.)
