The defunct Ted Haggard's Mega Church is there. It just sort of became a pooling place for the ultra christian conservative.

It is a really pretty smallish city very close to the mountains. One of their representatives that they voted in in 2012 said that Obama needed an exorcism He said some other really crazy shit but I can't remember off the top of my head.

I live about 45 miles north of Colo springs so here some of the nuttiness. I forgot about Doug Bruce. I haven't gone through my blue book yet, isn't there a ballot initiative to reverse his baby TABOR? I hope so but I have little hope it will pass.

You'd think he'd be living in the lap of luxury with that huge state refund he gets every year from his crappy TABOR legislation.

And fundamentalists. The best part of living there was the nature that surrounds it.
