A punishment for thoughtcrime, meted out by a mob whipped by the media in the name of tolerance.
Orwell had it 90% right.
They already have lots of areas like that. they are called "public schools."
Is this true, what I heard?
Thomas Michael Menino, Mayor of Boston and Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago have made a pact to force the respective MIB teams in their towns to only use Switch-hitters in all theirs games! If you cannot hit from both sides of the plate, you cannot play in their cities.
Also they are going to the league and ask for visiting teams to field at least 2/3 of their players to Switch-hit while in their cities.
Heck, they've been sodomizing the taxpayers for decades.
BTW, is murder considered a Chicago value as well? It seems to be quite a popular trend in the windy city.
I'm really sorry to hear that no one in the Chicago community supports traditional marriage.
Well, since Chik-Fil-A doesn’t reflect Chicago values and that makes them unsuitable to do business there, does Mayor Emanuel plan to now survey all businesses currently doing business in Chicago and then cancel the business licenses of all those who don’t support gay marriage?
Or is he just bullying a CEO who looks like an easy target to score a few political points in the Chicago political environment?

What would liberals say about a Republican Mayor who blocked a Target store due to their support of gay marriage?
Put the shoe on the other foot when discussing this!
“Nation of Islam can open a restaurant in Chicago, but not Chick-fil-A?”
My father is a retired Marine Lt. Col., and he was a Commanding Officer (CO) for the last few years he was in. He told me that EVERY Marine he knew from Chicago gave him trouble.
If that is the case, how would "Chicago values" ever change? I mean ever?
"You go, Rahmbo!"
I thought “Chicago values” were to vote when you’re dead and become dead by being shot by gang members.
