The Colorado Independent: Conservative groups slam Ken Salazar for his “war on the poor” energy policy

    I am offended by the context of this article.
    first of all The Congress of Racial Equality has been around since 1942. Even if you don't agree with them, as least don't put out there like they are some fly-by-night organization.
    As for the High Impact Leadership Coaltion; this group may not be as established as CORE, they are a credible group,, how about saying they are a pro-life, pro-family group.
    As for oil drilling; It is true that some in Congress have repeatly block efforts to increase U.S. drilling.
    Even as all the polls show that most Americans feel we need to decrease our dependency on foreign oil.

    "Anti-gay" is NOT "pro-family," which is probably why the reporter chose not to write it that way....conflating homophobia with healthy family life is one of the most egregious civil rights violations of our time, and to condemn this article for accurate language only encourages further anti-gay rhetoric.

    For the record, we follow AP Stylebook in describing organizations, like CORE, without the partisan or self-determined euphemisms.
