Last Friday we held our downtown Christmas Party at Dugan's Irish Pub.
We had a great crowd and the bar was filled with Christmas cheer until smoke began to fill the entire venue.
At approximately 8 p.m. the Chicago Fire Department were called to the bar to put out what was a very smoked filled bar.
After waiting outside for nearly an hour, we were told that the bar was closed for the night and we were asked to gather our belongings.
There were four small dynamite looking devices found in the men's bathroom, smoldering in the trash can.
The following evening I received a phone call from Chicago Police Department Bomb and Arson officials.
Written on the lid of one of the toliets were: F*CK THE TEA PARTY
Bomb and arson officials have deemed this incident an arson.
Luckily, nobody was hurt, however, the good people of Dugan's lost an awful lot of money.
Police are investigating and we are not going away.
Look for us to have a ONE-MORE-TIME! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW PARTY in Chicago's Loop after the New Year!
To the dozens who came out to Dugan's, I am so sorry for all this trouble. There are some very hateful people in this world and they will do whatever necessary to stop those who are fighting for freedom!
And we hope those who came out and those who were unable to make Friday's event, join us after the New Year!!
Thank you for your faith and support! You are the heart and soul of the tea party movement; without you, socializm would rule!
God bless you and your families during this Christmas Season!
LET THE LIGHT SHINE!
Articles that explain how modern liberals suffer from a mental disorder.
Can a revolution and or civil war be far behind?
“I’m constantly reading reports of leftist violence - its everywhere.”
And it will be denied that it ever happened by the gays in the big-media.
Leftist violence gets ignored, or buried, if it might hurt a Democrat now. And it’s been that way for a decade or more.
Union job? Oh, no, probably not. It’s after 2 pm. Unless the guy got quadruple overtime.
not important
“>> The question is what happens after that?
Support the rule of law. The Left wants chaos.”
Translation: run away and hide...
There is no “rule of law”, the government has perverted any sense of that line of thinking. Consider the Black Panther case and now the BP case. The fact that nothing will be done in this case...rule of law? Yes, there are no rules for the democrats.
The question is what happens after that?
Lock and load.
Correction, we are NOT a nation of laws. That is a naive position, as outdated as the LIBs adhering to the Constitution. When some people go to jail for not paying income taxes and the writer of tax laws does not; we have no nation of laws.
When some people can enter this country, murder citizens on the highway, rape our women and children and nothing is done, we have no nation of laws.
When American citizens are assumed guilty and subjected to unlawful search and seizure, while the most likely to commit crimes are exempt, we have no nation of laws.
What we have is EXACTLY what the Founding Fathers sacrificed their blood, their wealth and their very lives to overthrow. We have a tyrannical ruling class that despises us and will not listen, no matter how loud we yell or how long we speak.
I am reminded of Aragorn’s speech at the Black Gate:
“Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!”
Neither this act of violence, nor any other abuse of the free people of America, has the power in itself to revoke the blessings of liberty God gave us through the labors of the Founders. We are a nation of laws, not because we always live up to that ideal, but because that ideal is always alive in us; it may not be where we are, but it where we are headed, and the only thing that can derail us is despair, a heart of surrender to odds seemingly insurmountable. As an antidote to that, I adopt the principle of Churchill, that we offer no peace ever to the enemies of our liberty, no letting up of the pressure to reach for that ideal of a nation governed by good laws and not by petulant children, until victory is achieved:
“Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense”
~Winston Churchill
I will let you know if I find out any further details.
They lost money on the Tea Party gig due to the fire, so, as odd as it would be, it might be nice to send them a little something. I know I will.
There were four small dynamite looking devices found in the men's bathroom, smoldering in the trash can.
From what you wrote above and about 'all the smoke', those 'dynamite looking devices' sound like Smoke Bombs.
If they were, they're legal (even in Chi), and used in HVAC (the V part - Ventilation) to test for leakage in Ductwork and for proper functioning of Smoke Exhaust Systems, mostly in Stair Ways where the Exhaust Fan is mounted directly above on the roof, or above a large Atrium.
'Smoke Tests' used to be SOP in 'the business' but I don't see as many 'Smoke Exhaust Fans' being spec'd like back in 'the olden days'(1). But Smoke Bombs are still available and anyone in the business can buy them from 'the right places. And in the Chi Metro Area those tests are performed by Union Workers: Test and Balance Technicians (note: not part of any SEIU local).
(1) Fully Sprinkled buildings are making Smoke Exh Fan/System go the way of the Dodo. And now there's more stringent methods on Duct Construction itself, meaning less air leakage and Smoke Tests of ductwork unnecessary.
How did they know where the Tea Party was gathering for the Christmas Party?
See! See! The Tea Party incites violence.
It is if you want to search for other reports on this incident.
There is no “rule of law”, the government has perverted any sense of that line of thinking. Consider the Black Panther case and now the BP case. The fact that nothing will be done in this case...rule of law? Yes, there are no rules for the democrats.
Indeed. The absolute worship of the law by many in this country is one of the biggest problems that will be faced before we get this ship turned around.
Who in the media has this been presented to? Name the contacts!
I haven’t seen anyone on the left picking it up, but biggovernment, fox, beforeitsnews, buzzbox, examiner, and others of a “rightish” orientation are definitely broadcasting it. Circumstantial evidence is still evidence.
Good question. Hmmmm...

Nonsense.
