What State is this Ditz from?
You just can’t script this stuff... let the moonbats keep talking.
Shame on the people who elected her to office!
Citizens must take responsibility for their votes, or lack thereof! IIMHO
I understand why she ignores things like the Constitution and the 10th amendment. They were designed to prevent / get in the way of a big government, statist agenda. Makes perfect sense that she’d be against them since she is a big government statist.
Hillary Clinton’s home town is in the center of her district. I would say her seat is pretty safe as long as she doesn’t say anything about George Bush or Ronald Regan being great presidents.
If the people in her IL District have any moxie at all, she’ll be toast on November 2.
This woman was on Obamao’s list for senator from Il.

Joel Pollack is her opponent.
Check out the ad he has up there featuring his very lovely South African born wife. She has that great South African accent!
This stupid woman was probably educated entirely in the government schools.
how do people like this get elected anyhow?
Unfortunately, the Congresswoman is accurate in her ridicule the Tea Party’s attachment to the Constitution. She understands that the 1787 Constitution as amended is a dead letter, and has been for almost a century.
Here’s a thought experiment. Which would be more disruptive to the lives of the vast majority of individual Americans: 1) adoption of all ten points in the Communist Manifesto, or 2) a return to the 1787 Constitution as amended?
Ten Point Program of the Communist Manifesto
1. Abolition of property in land. Considering property taxes, regulations, and the Kelo decision, this is pretty much accomplished.
2. Heavy progressive income tax. Check.
3. Abolition of right of inheritance. Still debated, but not significant to most Americans.
4. Confiscation of property of emigrants and rebels. No major changes required. IRS already imposes punitive taxes on emigrants. Rebels are already subject to asset seizures without any due process.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State. National Bank - Check. Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac - check. What isn’t actually owned is effectively controlled by the State.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport. Check. Government owns airports, roads, and rail and heavily regulates the rest. An American can’t travel without showing papers on the demand of government agents. FCC controls broadcast industry. Telecommunications including Internet heavily regulated.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State. GM - check. Chrysler - check. Heavy regulation on the rest.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Americans already have to work about the first four months of the year to pay their taxes.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries. This point is arguably obsolete.
10. Free education of all children in public schools. Check.
The difference between the status quo in the US and the full Marxist program is one of degree, not a difference in kind.
Contrast that with a literal interpretation of the Constitution of 1787 as amended.
No Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, AFDC, etc.
No Federal Reserve Bank. Money in gold and silver only.
No undeclared wars.
No federal drug laws.
No federal recognition of an individual right to abortion.
No federal recognition of an individual right to sodomy.
No federal money for education, or the arts, or the humanities, or space exploration, or midnight basketball.
No agricultural subsidies, price supports, etc.
No Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to securitize and insure 95%+ of home mortgages.
No FDIC to insure bank accounts.
No SEC or CFTC to regulate securities.
No FDA to regulate food and drugs.
No OSHA to regulate worker health and safety.
No searches or asset seizures without due process.
Et cetera ad nauseum. A complete list would be impossible to compile.
A return to the original meaning of the 1787 Constitution as amended would be much, much more radical than wholesale adoption of the entire program advocated by Marx. A return to the 1787 Constitution as amended would mark a difference in kind from the status quo.
In case you’re wondering, I’m all in favor of the disruption because the current system is unsustainable. Also, besides being fundamentally evil, Marxism never works out well. I just think we ought to recognize that it would be highly disruptive to restore the Constitution. A serious Constitutionalist is more radical than a Marxist if radicalism is measured by the extent of separation from the status quo.
Congress just found out fly over country has surface to air missiles.
Does anyone doubt that she and “Der Reader” are simpatico ? At least she is honest and admits it in public. She uses the Constitution free speech clause to trash the Constitution. Make no mistake, if the roles ever reverse she will throw you in a “reeducation” camp for doing the same.

She forgot that when she was elected, she did solemnly swear to defend the Constitution.
So, not only is she dumb as a post, her word is worthless.
The shame is on her constituents for electing this....whatever it is.
More info about Jan from a FReeper in the area:
None that I can find. Here’s all I know:
1. Simon Ribeiro is a Green candidate. Will he siphon votes from Jan?
2. Jan’s nervous, but is it a head fake?
On several occasions she’s mentioned Pollak by name. Not very savvy. Is she shilling for coins?
In this solidly Democrat and safe district they’re doing a very strong prep for GOTV. They normally wait until a week before the election, things are that easy.
But, Nick Blase the Niles strongman is gone. The towns much softer than it had been. Jan’s depended on a solid Niles vote. She’s likely got Evanston, Skokie (??), etc. If the Green pulls some off her column and Joel can show she’s soft on Israel he might get into striking distance.
Pollak signs are everywhere & I mean on front lawns of homes. Jan’s are rare. Is she holding fire or are things that soft for her?
I’d hate to miss an opportunity to knock her out. Can any of your experts contact the Pollak campaign and get their internals at least?
Joel’s a bit soft on SSM (CVs are OK) and abortion - personally against, wants to cut Fed funding and let states limit it to rape and incest. Better than Jan by far for both fiscal and social conservatives, but he’s more a fiscal than a social conservative. He’s an Orthodox Jew.
If he’s in striking distance it’d be great to put him on the map and let him get some funding in.
Knocking Jan out would be like Manna from Heaven.
If you can do anything to find out anything I’d appreciate it.
