In my opinion, this article deserves a wide circulation!.
We here is Illinois understand the pitfalls of a one party, Progressive-Left, socialist system of government.
Bump.
Btw, Illinois is not a blue state. It’s quite red, and if you were dropped in central IL you wouldn’t know whether you were there, in MO, or IN.
Unfortunately Chitcago, and even more so Crook County, has the population to make the state very top heavy (especially when combined with the gerrymandering around other urban gutters). Everyone south of the city hates it because Daley’s cronies dominate the state’s politics, funnel money from the rest of the state into his failing city, and dictate their orders from on high.
But the city itself just keeps voting in the same parasites...
I think we could readily identify Chicago and the majority of the state...as an independent country...very much a combination of Bolovia, Cuba, and a mafai-state. We could refer to it as Chicagostan, and probably put a border fence around the whole state to protect....us from them. The fact that every problem they dig up....leads to more money and more problems...ought to be an indicator of their philosophy being bankrupt. With an Obama presidency...Chicagostan will only grow bigger and incorporate more of the US.
Ya know more folks have died in Chicago than the war in Iraq this year. If he can’t take care of his own state how can he take care of an entire nation? If he wins there will be no more flying under the liberal media radar, he will be under a microscope just like Bush. There is always impeachment
Bump
FRANKY! You FORGOT to mention we pay 3.5 BILLION dollars a year for services for Illegal aliens FRANKY!!
(Like Obama’s Aunt)
a working model that illustrates the consequences of a government run by the Progressive-Left.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We must call them what they are: MARXISTS!!!
No need to apologize, Frank. It is not your fault. Thanks for writing and shining a light on these socialist cock-a-roaches. Thanks to FReepers for adding/replying.
Conservatives are left with no voice on the national stage and small quarter in the state where we live.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is Walter Williams is right? Is it time for conservatives to move to red states? Is it time for those states to peacefully secede?
In my opinion, this article deserves a wide circulation!.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Those who most need to read this are unfortunately too illiterate to get through it...thanks to our Marxist dominated government K-12 indoctrination camps.
I mourn for the Cubbies and Cubbie fans who have to live in such a city.
East St. Louis, Champaign is blue, Carbondale is blue and on and on.
Thats why the rats stay in power.
Impeachment? With a Democrat Congress? The RINOs and “gentlemen” in the Senate who would not stand up for Henry Hyde and the conservatives in the House and REMOVE the allegedly “popular” Bill Clinton give me little or no hope for much “brave” leadership there. (It WAS NOT just about “sex”!)
All in the name of being “gentlemen” and protecting their own little “gentlemen’s club” status.
Obama can’t even take care of his own FAMILY members out of his pile of money just a little bit; you see, WE THE PEOPLE are to do it for him. How? Once he bleeds the producers - us - (the “rich”) dry with taxation, where is all the money for his big plans going to come from?
We live in Tennessee. How does a state, or group of states “peacefully” secede from the Union? When, or if, this radical Marxist takes over, he will have his “National Civilian Security Force”, the U.S. military and authority over it, the National Guard and all that to assure he can FORCE us to do as he (and his buddies) say. - A group of states disagreed with the federal government and seceded one time, and paid in blood and history rewritten history. Obama has a perfect secession precedent scenario from history as a guidebook to running a Civil War and bringing the offending (and damn the Constitution) group of states to their knees. Lincoln suspended the Constitution at will.
But, yes, IF this country votes for this sort of corruption and stupidity, maybe Walter is right. Let them have the corruption they crave, let them have the king they want. Let those conservatives who want to live in peace and have very limited federal government just do it and let the rest of the country that wants to grow the Chicago Cesspool have at it. Without the conservatives (the “rich”), I don’t know how they’re going to pay for it - and there’s the sticking point.
I am not familliar with William's proposal but I should be. I am thinking in terms of the blue states seceding from the U.S.A. rather than the other way around. Something I have been thinking about is there being three states - Mexifornia on the left coast. A free country consisting of Alaska, much of the west, midwest and southeast (a reconstitution of the U.S.A. with the Constitution, balance of powers, etc.). Then another socialist state consisting of the northeast and parts of the midwest rustbelt. All three states would have access to ports and would border on Canada and/or Mexico, so all three could trade and prosper. Of course, only the free country would prosper - the two socialist countries would at best be stagnant or at worst would become violent, third-world countries. The socialist states might even put up borders to keep their slaves from escaping, while the reconstituted U.S.A. would be more wealthy that the current U.S.A. Maybe after 50 years or so the socialist states would revolt and overthrow their rulers and petition to rejoin the U.S.A.
And don’t forget how Mayor Daly destroyed Meigs Airfield.
