Great!
May the Polar Vortex descend on Chicago and freeze all of the Gorebull Warming Idiots and their beloved Obama! At least make them look like their brother shown below.

Ah, the minister of hate for US citizens and the people who shaped the modern world; primarily European White Christians.
I have no sympathy for the devil and his brood. May he and his ilk disappear.

Not really, Dad bought the house new for 10,000 in 1949. I think it sold for 79000.

I had to sell my suburban home (Will Co., Tinley Park) at a loss in 2013.
Still working on the taxes involved.

That’s too bad. I got out and moved to Michigan many years ago. Still have a sister, brother and 2 nieces and their families. They all are in the north suburbs now.

I probably won’t attend. I work in downtown Chicago, but I don’t want to see him.
To: MomwithHope
In which northern suburbs do your relatives live? I live in Wheeling, and I’d like to meet other conservatives, who live nearby.
To: Olog-hai
I’ll save you the trouble. Here’s his speech, boiled down to its essence
“Thank yuh, Chicago, through you I got mines! And I ain’t never coming back! But I will
Leave yuh my, uh, library, black people center, cause you’re my people, heh heh, and all. See yuh! These are tears of sadness that I won’t be worshipped any more! Bye!”
