I recommend
Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne
Duncan take a remedial course in sociology. Teaching, promoting and
endorsing homosexuality, let alone calling for the city's first high school
for gay, lesbian and transgender students will not do
good. It will do
bad things. It will do more to confuse
the already collectively confused American youth.
I actually applaud Duncan's refusal to accept the anti-gun violence award.
With 2 CPS deaths per week since Sept 2nd, he said "I don't feel I've earned
it''. He couldn't be more correct. Now, his leftist liberal views, especially
promoting what Judeo-Christianity religions has taught to be sinful and an
abomination for centuries, will further cause an unstable school body.
I am so sad that as the liberals continue to win the
culture war, there appears to be still no organization in sight for us
conservatives. The media has beaten us down.
Children, instead of learning, are getting gunned down. Richie Daley and Arnie
want to teach homosexual acts instead of science, civics and math.
On Tuesday, August 19th, the
city of Chicago Dept. of
Planning and Development held a community meeting regarding yet another
Tax Increment Financing District. The public invitation implied
aldermen Jim Balcer (11th Ward) and
George Cardenas (12th Ward) would be in attendance. They were not.
In a over-crowded room, with an attendance were approximately 90 angry
resident-questioners, there were no elected officials to provide answers.
Subordinate city appointees were there to take the heat. There were more angry
folks but no more room to accommodate them at the
McKinley Park Library.
Some people were even standing in the hallway outside of the room.
TIFs are complicated for the average government school graduate to comprehend,
especially when explained by duplicitous politicians. Basically a TIF freezes
the property tax dollars
which taxing bodies get from that district for 23 years. All increment taxes,
generated by new development and raised assessments goes into a fund which
Mayor Daley has been using and abusing as nobody's business. This TIF fund is
virtually a "slush fund"
because it appears nowhere on your tax bill. It is out of the budget.
This is unaccountability at its most egregious and oppressive cost.
The meeting illustrated that virtually all were against the creation of this
new Archer/Western TIF district. So? Well officials said, inexplicably,
even though the room was more then full, that there was not enough people
there for a true consensus to stop the project.
Is this America? Are we sheep? Is the Rich Daley phenomenon unstoppable?
Have we no shame? Have we no dignity? Why don't we get more politically
engaged? I reluctantly ask "Are we a city of cowards?"
More folks have to speak up, speak out and stop towing the Daley line! More
need to write letters to our media. We need to shun group-think, and vote
independently for candidates with integrity. I am suggesting organizing a
massive general protest around city hall, the
state of Illinois building and our
Cook County building,
decrying "Abuse Of The Public Trust".
P.S. TIFs are ostensibly used for blighted areas. How is it that with all
their power, the Daley boys (John is 11th ward democrat committeeman) have
left their ancestral power base --OUR
11th Ward-- blighted. Rich has been mayor 19 years and the 11th ward is indeed
blighted, extremely few businesses; even a Jewels recently shut down.
Infrastructure, eg., viaducts are deplorable. And now what are they building
on what has been the main intersection (31st & Halsted) of our commercial
center? An awfully cold GOVERNMENT building: a 3-block
police station, court house, accompanied by an ugly multi-story garage.

"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When
the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the
people to retain the
right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect
themselves against tyranny in government."
-Thomas Jefferson-
FACT: The minority rules the majority, because the majority refuses to speak up.
The minority rules the majority, because, for 1 poor reason after another weak reason, the majority refuses to speak up. This is how we have dumbed ourselves down to the woefully pathetic "leaders" (teachers,
politicians, priests) that we have today. We don't demand better. It's our own fault, and we get what we deserve.
About the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution in 1787, at the beginnings of this great country, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, pondered the fall of the Athenian Republic around 2000 years earlier. From his research, he speculated that: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government." "A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury." "From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." "The Average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years." "During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith.
Today, university research, Hamlin University School of Law, St. Paul, Minn. indicates that 40 percent of the nation's population have reached the "governmental dependency" phase. Thus, are we, as a nation, somewhere between the complacency to apathy phase? For our nation, apparently from "bondage to faith" took place with the Pilgrim's escaping from the Church of England and landing in Plymouth in 1620 and during that century. "From courage to liberty" occurred during the Revolutionary War and late 1700s. However, it took most of the next century to achieve "from liberty to abundance." This was a century of a great Civil War to define state and civil rights. After this great conflict, our nation grew westward. We expanded our power and influence around the globe. Finally, we helped to win World War I. The economy expanded until the disastrous "Great Depression." Nevertheless, our country recovered. In fact, a complete recovery came with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. This brought us together as never before. Men entered the armed forces, women entered factories. Our patriotic nation fought aggressors, became victorious and became a world power. After World War II came a time of national abundance. From old downtown shopping, new suburban shopping centers unfolded. Builders became rampant with new housing tracts. Our economy expanded vibrantly. Thus, occurred the hundred years "from liberty to abundance." Unfortunately, during the years of the Vietnam War to the end of the century, we witnessed a time which might be identified as "from abundance to complacency." Now, every day, either your local nightly TV news or the New York Times describe how bad things are, but with no positive balance. "Just not much we can do," according to that commentator or that news reader. After 231 years of history, are we now in the time, "from complacency to apathy?"

Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there with us - and I asked Catherine "If you were President, what would be the first thing you would do?" Catherine replied, "I would give houses to all the homeless people." "Wow, what a worthy goal you have there Catherine." I told her (while both parents beamed), "but, you don't have to wait until you're President to help the homeless. You can come over to my house and clean up all the dog poop in the back yard and I will pay you $5 dollars. Then we can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $5 dollars to use for a new house."
Catherine (who was about 6) thought that over for a second, and replied, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop himself, and you can pay him the $5 dollars?"
Welcome to the Republican Party, Catherine.

I heard Mayor Rich Daley yell at the media,
asking them why they are so negative toward
President-elect
Barack Obama. The media were just asking when Obama was going to pay the
Grant Park party bill.
Well, as a conservative political activist, I am a fan of neither the media nor
Daley. Although liberals may disagree, it seems as though there has been at
least a little bit of pro-Obama coverage overall, not negative. Daley, being in
my opinion, a double-talker, turns the tables against fair questions from the
press at every turn. Inexplicable!
My question is: How long can his honor get away with this nefarious Machiavellian strategy? There seems so much at stake for honest government and a law-and-order society for Chicago, Cook County, Illinois and all Americans. The old saying is, "We get the government that we deserve." Fine. Americans, in my humble opinion, deserve the truth.
We live in a dumbed-down society. How much farther can Daley get away with his contrived fits? How much farther can he dummy us all down?

Daley voters forget
Your piece "Daley 'forgets' but voters don't" [Nov. 10] got it exactly wrong. Mayor Daley, a very vindictive man, never forgets, and the voters always forget. Just look: He rewards tons of patronage workers, stifles debate and honest questions and voters always re-elect him mayor. He also raises taxes and airily dismisses questions of activities that resemble financial scandals.
You say: "If they get the brushoff one too many times, voters don't forget."
Well this begs the question: How many times does it take? Seven elections? Ten elections? Thirty years?

PRESS
RELEASE
For immediate release - Tuesday, 10/7/2008
Chicago's 11th Ward Republican Organization
As an elected republican committeeman, I strongly condemn Andy McKenna (Il GOP chair) and the R.I.N.O. republican organization of Illinois Rich Daley insiders. Hailing from the 11th ward my entire life, I think I know the pulse of Chicago political psychology better than most.
Mayor Rich M. Daley, who by the way is actually an illegally elected mayor and not the duly elected mayor (read: federal imprisonment of Daley's fall-guys for patronage armies to elect leftist Rahm Emanuel, fierce Bill Clinton defender, Daley and other liberals) in my opinion, has nefariously corrupted the Illinois republican party.
That Chicago psychology of intimidation, and corruption by favors, jobs and bribes, is now exported nationally. David Axlerod created the Daley political monster, and now is preparing another Chicagoan who I call the "conman" for the U.S. of A.
While there is corruption all over the world, Barak Hussein Obama could not have incubated anywhere other than the deeply rooted Chicago political mafia machine. The graft is so long in tenure and protected by media. Chicago is not only the economic engine that runs Illinois, but it is also the political engine that runs Illinois. So now Illinois is the most corrupt state of the union.
Now? Now we do not need basic reform. We urgently need, in the name of our American democratic republic, root-and-branch reform in our state of Illinois.
McKenna is son to Andy Sr. and the McKennas have vast wealth and lucrative business in Illinois, and they can not be trusted to take an adversarial political position to the unduly powerful Daley political mafia. For example, the McKenna's in their interest in the Chicago Bears realized overnight profit of hundreds of thousands of dollars with the ugly addition (ruination) to Soldier Field. Daley, the friend of the McKennas, is instrumental in all such projects. Under McKenna’s years as "leader", the Republican Party has become more impotent. Media and McKenna have not seriously challenged Daley and his innumerable scandals, handing Daley unwarranted power. The 11th Ward calls for Mckenna’s resignation forthwith.
With America on the verge of electing a socialist (I'd argue communist) to POTUS, one would OBVIOUSLY expect strong statements, campaigning, press releases, from our Illinois republican party, concerning Obama and his spawning from the shameless Chicago Daley machine. As fodder we have the Annenberg project, Ayers/Bernadine Dohrn, ACORN, Saul Alynski, Frank Marshal Davis, Rezko, Pflegger, Wright, the Chicago media sack and attack of Jack Ryan (a non-sex sex-scandal with his own wife), and the corrupt Chicago media.
As to that last entity, we ought analyze and uncover any and all of McKennas ties to the Chicago Tribune and any other media.
In short, Andy McKenna has to exit immediately as "leader" of Illinois republicans. In all due respect, that, is just a sick joke where no one is laughing as loudly as Daley. So too must we return to direct election of our state central committee.
We've virtually seen no campaigning by an organized McKenna team of Illinois republicans even though we are staring at the prospect of a conman with domestic terrorist ties, becoming leader of the free world. Furthermore, senator Durbin, the most liberal US senator other than Obama, has insulted and scandalized our military, and we see a vastly under-funded campaign by a decent Dr. Sauerberg.
The campaigning I've seen from McKenna is a $30 fundraiser here and there in a tavern.
While we are on the precipice of a national disgrace unprecedented in our 232 years as a republic, we must focus LOCALLY. We must call out loudly from every roof top and shout: it is the Rich Daley political mob organization which has corrupted the Illinois citizen's mind, the Illinois republican office holder and especially the so-called mainstream media in Illinois.
As President Reagan did, we must go around the media. The media will continue to do amazingly childish things such as call us racists at every turn. Like Reagan, we must go straight to the people.
I implore decent conservative leaders to put their differences aside and hold an emergency mass rally, of some sort...perhaps ironically a press conference. I implore decent conservative leaders such as Rick Biesada, Diemonte, Diersen, Peter LaBarbera, Chris Lauzen, Oberweis, Marty Ozinga, Jack Roeser, Roskam, Schlaffly, Dave Smith and many others to hold a major meeting before Nov 3rd!
Again, the media is a huge enemy. In fact the only thing more corrupt than politics, and the only story bigger than corrupt politics in America, is the corruption of the American media. So we Americans (in Illinois and throughout USA) must go around the media, and fight for the souls of Americans and the soul of America.
WE MUSTN'T IGNORE THE ROLE A 19-YR MAYOR DALEY, IN HIS ATTEMPT TO AVOID PROSECUTION AND IMPRISONMENT , CONTINUES TO PLAY, IN FOISTING BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA AS LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. RICH AND HIS DAD HAVE GOVERNED CHICAGO FOR 40 OF 50+ YEARS, AND HAVE UNDUE AND WILDLY UNDESERVED POWER IN OUR USA. THEY'VE BEEN POWER-DRUNK. ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY. DALEY HAS SUCCEEDED IN MAKING THE MOST PAINFUL CASE FOR TERM LIMITS FOR ALL OFFICES.
We need to go to citizen-legislators as our founding-fathers intended. No more rock stars or career politicians. Let them go get a real job.
Many Americans, albeit not liberal democrats, are asking how did a leftist guy such as Obama get so far, and where did he come from? The answer is Richard Michael Daley.
Character should be the main determinant in electing public officials. Candidate McCain ought not only shine the spotlight on Bill Ayers's connection to Obama; McCain ought explain to the American people that Obama incubated in Daley's richly entrenched bullying, well-lubricated political machine, with the doctoring of Alynski, Ayers and Axlerod.
Our United States of America hangs in the balance.

Liberal media protect Daley
The Family Secrets mob trial has given us information as to how intricately these dispicable killers and thugs are connected to Chicago politicians, and there was no shortage of linkage to my 11th Ward.
I have accused most media of being liberal. Here is more evidence. Why is there almost a 100 percent blackout in the paper and on TV regarding the powerful Democratic Party and its historical ties to organized crime?
Hint: A liberal mayor has been somehow at the helm of city hall for 18 years. His political career goes back even further. His late father’s career goes still farther.
The Chicagoland media does a woefully pathetic job in probing one Richard M. Daley.
It’s inexplicable and unforgiving.

Ask the tough questions
Fourteen months ago, my opponent John Daley and I met with your editorial board so you could make an endorsement.
Incumbent commissioner Daley won your endorsement and won the election. This isn’t sour grapes but just a reminder so we as a society lessen the chances of repeating our mistakes: I told you I had taken a no-tax-hike pledge. I told you without mincing words Daley is an unethical man who leads a power-drunk fiefdom in our county with our money.
Your editorial, “Tough questions about Cook County budget would be a lovely idea,” makes me feel some vindication. Anyway, obviously this is not about me, but rather 5.5 million folks getting ripped off by the Daley-(Todd) Stroger political mob. It appears, by your observations and analysis of Daley’s specious “love-fest” statements, you are committed to being a responsible watchdog for all of us in the future.
Keep up the good work and allow me to make one strong suggestion for upcoming editorials: Kindly remind readers of the simple-sounding but truly profound adage, “We get the government we deserve.” Let’s face it: We voters need education. We voters inexplicably hired and rehired these political pigs, assuming the vote-counting isn’t fixed.
At any rate, we must end the vulgar love-fest where pin-striped elitists run around patting each other on the back and, with unmitigated gall, pretend to be public servants. We must kill the dumbed-down mentality with tough questions.

Have an Open Mind About Good Government, Daley
Jan 11th,2008
As a passionate malcontent and critic of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, I found his vacuous change of mind regarding Wrigley Field bittersweet.
Bitter, because it's just another flippant (change of heart) by the nonintellectual city manager. Sweet, because I finally found one solid and very important trait I share with this guy.
In typical Daley-speak, he said, "I have an open mind. ... I always have an open mind on an issue. And why not? You should have it." Well, I could not agree more.
Having established that we both are open-minded and in light of the overwhelming evidence that his career has been covered in suspicion, I'd like to know if Daley would kindly and humbly consider shocking the Windy City and give a tell-all of how unethical his political career has been.
Just consider it, Mr. Mayor. If you say no, revisit my challenge in two weeks. Think of the moral example of good government we can teach the children. Keep an open mind. Yes, indeed, keep up the good work.

April 2, 2008 Daily Southtown Newspaper: -----"Smarter voting leads to smarterr decisions for Illinois"-- -- -- I suppose politicians are only reflections of ourselves, and we get the government we deserve. However, it seems awfully sickening to hear those secretly recorded tapes in the Antoin "Tony" Rezko trial. In one you hear Rezko instructing others how to game our government in order to reap a few million dollars of taxpayers' money from the construction of hospitals. In another, you hear Stuart Levine arrogantly laughing about a hospital CEO who wouldn't be bought. (Imagine the audacity of these political pigs!) Levine and Jacob Kieferbaum also play a childish game of deception by "accidentally" meeting and impressing somebody in a public dinner. If we poll public reaction to this trial, I imagine a vast majority would not be sympathetic to the defendants, nor to those mentioned as being deceitful. However, this has been going on a long time in Illinois by greedy children who were voted into office and then violated the public trust. Question: Who votes for these children? Next question: Aren't these greedy kids, pretending to be adult public servants, just reflections of us as a whole? We have the government we deserve. If we citizens vote smarter and recruit smarter candidates of character and integrity, then we'll deserve government officials with character and integrity.-Carl Segvich, 11th Ward Republican Committeeman, Chicago
