Ping.
I grew up in Hinsdale,IL, a Chicago suburb. My dad was a Republican and my mom, a Boston Irish Catholic, was a Dem. They argued, but I don’t think it went to this extreme.
BTW,I’m what was known as “a Daddy’s Girl”. He was very logical, she was far, far too emotional.
Let Chicago pay for Chicago, and it will disappear
Read once Chicago school paid for by 1/3 Chicago, 1/3 borrowed, 1/3 from rest of state
Well, a bunch of us Confederate ancestors will have to go up.there and blow their shit away.. We owe those god damned Illinois Yankees some good ones anyway...
I see a few counties from the old “Forgottonia” secession movement of the 1970s are there — west central Illinois between the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. It seems they are even more forgotten than before, and have suffered even worse economic woes and population decline.
And several counties in Oregon have voted to join Idaho. And as we all know, it’s not going to happen as the leftists have NO intention of letting their tax slaves go.
So, how about creating a West Illinois, breaking away from Cook County and its neighbors that comprise Chicago? And likewise for Western New York from the 9 milliom or more that comprise the five boroughs (counties) that overcome the will of the rest of the New Yorkers who hate domination by the City? And a North California as well, divided from LA/San Diego (Tijuana)?
It's time to even things out for the 'country people,' the Bible-pounder gun-packing home-schooling independents who are the moral backbone of our failing country. Give them a break, some kind of hope for a future apart from city-corruption, eh?
CA conservative counties have tried the same and failed, too tough to do
