Believe me, conservatives have their fair share of bitter, holier than thou people. I find your post refreshing. Seems to me to many people get married and produce children, with know idea how they are going to support either themselves or said children. If you are happy, your husband is happy and your children are happy, that’s all that matters. Seems to me one of a woman’s responsibility is to make sure when looking for a husband and the future father of her children, is to make sure her children are gong to have a good and decent life. Doesn’t always work out that way, but to many people don’t think about their future, just the emotion of “love”.
Their are also a lot of “conservatives” who are against government programs, unless it’s their government program.
I will have to heartily disagree with you about Gov. Palin though. McCain got the votes he got because of Gov. Palin, not the other way around.
Good Luck, both here and in your life.
I refuse to be bored. BTTT
Good, go back to DU along with the yutz.
I use a pro-life toll and long distance provider. Very cheap!
And if you can't be happy with it at least be thankful you have that much.
Yep, a couple of years ago the house I grew up in (NW Suburbs of Chicago) was listed at half a million dollars (only 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and a partially finished basement)! The price went up a quarter of a million dollars in 7 years (I think my parents sold the house for roughly double what they bought it for in the mid-70s — and that was after 20 years of living in it)!
It’s definitely NOT going for that price now. In fact, many of my childhood friends are using this “opportunity” to move back home — because they were totally priced out of the area just a couple years ago...
If you can’t see the differences then you are beyond help. Glad you got zotted before I saw your posts here on this thread.
EXACTLY what I thought when I read her post... BTW: She’s been zotted. Good riddance...
Amen, Joan!!! THAT is the truth.
My wife is from Elgin. Her sister lives in Woodstock. Her parents live in Huntley. We were just visiting our son, daughter in law and grand children in Rockford last week. We go there about three times a year.
My wife just got back from returning our grandson last weekend. At the area where she put him in our daughter in law’s car she had a knock down dragout verbal fight with one of the female police officers controlling that area that had her in tears. When I was with her a week before we asked one of the male police officers if it was ok for cars to pick up people there. He said it was no problem. This lady would not listen to reason. She would not listen at all. She shouted my wife down and yelled at my daughter in law even as she had her turn signal on and was trying to merge into traffic to take another loop around. I would have cold cocked that bit$$ in self defense and we would have driven off.
I really, REALLY hate the Cook County area and spend as little time there as possible.

Nobody on FR gives a rat’s ass about your alleged family’s alleged net worth or alleged success -
I don’t recall anyone else bring up their personal ego stuff in years on FR - some people have other values and do not require tons o’ bucks or to talk about how great they allegedly are
One woman did - but stopped it quickly
There are millionaires and there are those who a scraping by on FR
Some are happy - some are not
You - You appear to be simply a big-mouthed jerk who generalizes and pretends to be “special”
Possibly even a Moby-Troll or Sleeper - who knows - who cares
If you do not like or approve of a
comment, a thread, or Free Republic -
Just scroll down, change threads, or got elsewhere
You have a warped and unhappy personality
Sorry - Your hour is up now -
Pay before leaving.....
No checks accepted.....
Don’t blame you for being P.O.’d about that altercation... However, I must point out that all those towns you listed with the exception of a small portion of Elgin are not in Cook County.
Anyway, I DO understand your point. Although we have friends and family still in the area hubby and I left in 1997 and moved to Colorado. We moved back to the Mid-West 5 years ago, but did NOT return to Illinois... There are some things I miss about my hometown - and I miss VISITING the city (the museums and such). However, I do not think I would ever really go back... For one thing I know I could no longer handle how corrupt the gov’t was in Cook County — wasn’t too “up” on politics and such when living there. Plus, I do NOT miss the nightly news including how many people have been shot that day - EVERY day...
But yeah... especially Elgin and Rockford (their reputations among those who live in the area aren’t great either — too much crime and “social” problems). Granted I’m going by what things were like back in the late 90s, but I can’t imagine Elgin to have gotten much better, and Rockford either (especially with this economy the way it is).
Nope I’m a Texas gal living on love in Pa,nice to meet you!
Please look through every post I ever made before making baseless accusations.
You are definately a plant or troll from DU.
Regardless, I have rarely seen a poster with such an attitude as yours.
There is not one poster here who wants more taxes, but the point of the article is largely correct.
And you!
The troll got the zot.
The only difference between you and the stuff I just scraped off my boot is that the stuff I scraped off my boot smells better.
I still think you are a troll. Why you throw the third party thingy at me I don’t know since I never discuss it...but if you want to know what i think I think the populace has been divided in two between women of all races and men of all races.
It was women who made up the difference in the last election for Obama, especially a lot more women married to conservative men who would never dream of telling their husbands for fear that “ohhh they would just get upseeeeyeett!”, giggling when they said it.
I know because in the field I work in, I hear the wives talking about it all the time. A bunch of them are now regretting their individual choices, especially the ones that have to deal with grumpy, drinking newly unemployed husbands, spending a lot of time now just polishing their guns since polishing their resume’s aren’t getting them anywhere....
