I do not know how publisher John Temple expects the Rocky Mountain News to live up to its reputation as the loyal opposition when he allows his opinion pages to be overrun with the same anti-conservative philosophy of The Denver Post.

Some examples from the Rocky’s opinion pages, Saturday’s combined edition: "Presidents on a pedestal." Many of us who lived in the FDR era know that he was not a great president. One of the biggest liars ever, he promised to never send American boys overseas to fight on foreign soil, only to see 292,131 Americans die in battle. The authors’ list of bad presidents omitted the only two who were ever impeached: Democrats Andrew Johnson and William Clinton, then they fawned over liberal icon Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. who, with Eleanor Roosevelt, helped found Americans for Democratic Action.

Garrison Keillor. A talented entertainer he is, but the anti-conservative bigotry that he so deftly weaves into his writing should either be edited-out or the column itself dropped.

Mike Littwin. Democrats will apparently escape his mad-dog style of writing despite a plethora of glaring opportunities. To be fair, Mr. Temple should now hire a replacement to write slash-to-the-bone commentaries about them.
