We live in Illinois. We are considering moving to a conservative state as well. Have you heard Gov. Quinn lately? A piece of crap leftist in lock step with the rest of the socialist democrats...I knew just what he was when he stated in his election speech that like Che Guevara, we citizens of Illinois should join forces and prepare to sacrifice for the common good.
First and foremost we will fight for the return of this country as the United States of America, in any way possible...we will have to prepare to get out of our comfort zone, dig in and join forces with others who will do the same. Bless the states that are filing lawsuits...we will be watching and deciding.
The political machnines of both parties eminating from Chicago have spoiled Illinois. Although I don’t agree with Quinn on much, I think he is a decent guy. Of course, that’s not a qualification to be the governor, and he’s way in over his head in the mess Blago left him, without any workable answers on how to get out of it. I hope Brady wins and I hope he is also a big enough man for the job.
Sometimes I think about leaving Illinois, but for various reasons it is impractical. Besides, I have a strong attachment to the place. My ancestors were among the earliest settlers in Illinois. So Illinois is home to me in more than just the sense that it’s the place I live. America is definitely worth fighting for, and so is Illinois. It wasn’t that long ago that we were producing (some) elected officials that we could be proud of.
