Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Pffft! How about we bring a scintilla of professionalism to the Political Class that’s the direct-line source of so much of the destruction in this state? How about we put the Political Class under the same type of microscope that CPD has been under for the last 2 decades? How about we have the PC wear body cameras for 15 hours a day so we can see their “Professionalism”?
seems fair as long as it applies to both parties as it would show that people are people & GOP politicians are fundamentally equivalent to their opposition when it comes to integrity & professionalism.
