Denver, CO – Just a few weeks back, Governor Jared Polis had hopes the Democrat-controlled legislature could force through a host of socialist legislation.
Fortunately, time ran out, and the legislature was pressured to shut down. Several applauded that at least with the Capitol shutting its doors, we wouldn’t see more socialist policies signed into law. But it’s becoming abundantly clear that as long as Polis has a pen and phone, your liberty isn’t safe.
To make matters worse, while Polis focused on passing single-payer healthcare (Polis-care), eliminating gun rights, raising taxes, and unionizing the government, he did not prepare for COVID-19.
Now thousands of people are out of work due to his executive orders, and he wants to blame the people and President Donald Trump.
Yesterday, by executive order, Polis demanded “non-essential” workplaces reduce their in-person workforce by 50%. This order lasts until April 10 but is extendable.
That’s right, the socialist Governor of Colorado is eliminating jobs and claiming it is your fault for not listening to him. Is he out of his mind?
He is threatening that Colorado will enter a “wartime triage situation,” and it is because of you, not his failed policies and actions. It is your fault you go to the grocery store more than once a week to feed your family. It is your fault you go on four runs a week instead of one.
He is blaming President Trump because the President didn’t implement a one-size-fits-all approach and instead allowed states to react in the best manner for their citizens. A state like New York or California with high population density cities is going to respond differently than a state with a lower population density, like Montana.
You can watch Polis play the blame game in his Sunday press conference here.
Bait and Switch
Polis points to Italy’s deteriorating situation as a reason that this is all your fault. For those of you who do not know, Italy has a single-payer, government-run healthcare system like the one Polis is attempting to force on Coloradans.
Polis is claiming Colorado might need 7,000 more ventilators than are currently available. According to the Colorado Department of Health & Environment, only 58 total people have been hospitalized for COVID-19.
“At the height of the virus in Colorado we might need 7,000 more ventilators than we have today,” Polis said.

Admittedly, we are not doctors of any kind. However, it seems like a HUGE stretch to say Colorado will be short thousands upon thousands of ventilators due to this crisis.
What Coloradans will be short on is cash to buy groceries and pay bills, because the Governor (now self-appointed king) relegated Coloradans out of jobs like the serfs he believes us to be.
Essentially, if you do not follow Polis’ rules, he wants to make you follow them.
As Governor of Colorado, Polis needs to accept responsibility instead of blaming us. It is NOT our fault we are out of jobs, and it is NOT our fault a virus we cannot control is making people sick.
That is not leadership, it’s cowardice.

Was Polis among those decrying Trump and calling him racist for instituting travel restrictions from China in January?
nero does care, his/its goal if for this state to be under his/its control, and he/it is drooling to do so, he/it wants to have the control of the National Guard to force more of his/its rule upon the people of this state. The concept of people needing money to survive, people needing to have to go to the store a few times a week because there is not all ways supplies, food to buy to sustain their families if foreign to him/it, some one does his/its shopping for him/it. With people not working, not earning income, no taxes are being paid in revenue, so what comes next,,, a short fall, demanding a tax increase, instead of those in charge managing the tax dollars as they should have been setting aside for a problem if it should arise. this genius was not paying attention, not paying attention to what was happening in china, but funding their their special programs, wasting tax dollar, and to think over 50% of the population voted for him, even though it was common knowledge he was not a good choice, so what does that say about that 50%?
Thanks Polis for helping Democrats lose in future elections in Colorado..truth will win out in all the evil agenda’s used to take control of human rights in Colorado and nationally!
Polis is a punk! If I remember correctly polis has said he expects 30 k + deaths in Colorado. That I believe inline with what the city of New York per the so called mayor and governor have been talking about! I would like to see the statistics that indicate that many deaths. Polis unwilling to take responsibility!
Shame on the governor!
Polis, You POS, you were declaring a State of Emergency before we even had a death! You are the one who is keeping this lockdown going! You are destroying peoples lives and families! Let Colorado go back to work and do t ever put our Families in this predicament ever again! You will have blood on your hands!
