That is a very shallow and unfair criticism.
There are times to stand and fight, there are times to withdraw to fight another day, and there is the wisdom to know the difference.
I’m afraid things will have to get much worse in Illinois before enough people come to their senses. Not everyone can afford to wait for that day unless they are willing to live in poverty.
Sorry, “white flight” killed the cities.
If everyone goes and hides in the woods, and stops fighting for what is worth fighting for, it’s a roll over for the Dems.
I’ll stand my ground.
I’m not going to hide in a bunker with 20,000 rounds of ammunition.
I fight every week with our Kane County school board. I fight every week with our U46 panels. I fight every week to change this area. I fight for those that cannot move, because they are too old, or maybe they have family here.
I am disgusted by those who flee from a fight. I closed my business 2 years ago because of union intervention. Not because I was a coward, but because it was a fight, and I won by putting a dozen asshats out of work because they thought they could bully me. I am retired now, and have nothing to do but go to council meetings, and raise hell.
I am disgusted by “preppers” who hide away in some far off place, and who launch attacks against those of us who stay and fight.
I am not yet ready to turn this country, or my state over. Maybe some day I will, but not this day. There are too many good people here in Illinois. Every county is Republican except for Chicago (Cook) and Springfield, and that’s a lot of counties.
Unfair and shallow? Maybe, but I’d rather die with my boots on then quivering in some cave with canned food hoping they don’t come take my family away.
Wisdom? Wisdom is another word for cowardice. I bet McCain has “Wisdom”. F Wisdom. I was taught to have backbone. I will die with respect of my children and grandchildren. I will die standing up, facing my aggressor, not running from him. What lesson is that to teach your kids if you run away?
I am not attacking YOU directly. You do what is right for your family. I am attacking those who attack us “Yankees” for standing to fight. We keep the fight HERE, so it doesn’t come to YOU. We keep the fight on the front-lines, so others don’t have to. If not us, who will?
Don’t tell me Soyonara, and don’t tell all of Illinois Soyanara. We are good people, and we don’t deserve to be abandoned like those at Benghazi.
