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.
I want to believe that this progressive nightmare we’re living in can be stopped, but in all likelihood it won’t be in Illinois. There is definitely hope at the national level however. Nothing would make me happier than seeing them take away Nancy’s gavel, and send Chuck Schumer back to the shadows where that piece of garbage belongs.
Durbin and Schiff can go into the shadows as well.
To paraphrase Pope: Hope springs eternal in the hearts of man.
Keep hoping and in November, let’s vote the bums out!
This is a glimmer of hope for November. It’s not like Democrats political fortunes are suddenly going to improve in 7 months.
Let’s hope not.
