The Democrat-controlled Legislature knows it has the votes to just wait out the Republican governor, put all the blame on him, and continue to do what they’ve been doing. State Senate leader Mike Madigan has been in office for all but 2 years since 1983 - longer than any other state legislator. And I’m afraid only the Grim Reaper will remove him, and at age 72 that may not happen anytime soon. And he’d be replaced by another Democrat.
What I want to know is this: Where is the Illinois Secession movement? We need to secede from Chicago.
“We need to secede from Chicago.”
And Springfield too?
Earlier this year during my travels I had a chance to traverse southern Illinois a couple of times. Once cutting across east to west to McLean at old US 66, and famous for the Dixie Truck Stop. From there it was westward to Carthage by the Mississippi. On the return trip I crossed southern Illinois from Hannibal, MO and exiting at the Indiana line. What beautiful lush farmland! Gorgeous.
My trip was eyeopening. Southern Illinois was as much unrelated to Chicago as Heaven is to Hell. What pity I had for these wonderful people that their hard earned wealth was being confiscated to fill the slop trough of the Chicago gibs-me-dats. Unless someone told you, you would think you were driving through Tennessee or Kentucky or some other reasonable state.
These people need to break free from their oppressors. They have nothing in common with the northern part of their state. They need to secede.
Chicago is an awesome city filled with many good people unfortunately it is run by a mob of evil corrupt, pedophiles and gangs of soulless thugs that have taken the rest of the state hostage. We need a justice department that will go after the criminal human traffickers, illegal drug dealers, bookies, remove them from power and return the city to the good citizens.
We are at the tip of the spear here in Illinois and we need to fight the corruption and take our beautiful city back and jail those that have turned it into a criminal cesspool.
Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.
