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 still think it looks like Azkaban. Maybe it will look more presidential and all Barack when covered in gang graffiti and chip bags.
I mourn for the loss of acres of Jackson Park land – and the 800 trees that will be sacrificed at the altar to Mr. Obama.
So much for caring about the environment and providing recreational areas for the people of Chicago.
An all-around travesty.
Should be over $1 billion when finally completed…
Boondoggle heaven
Probably will push $2B maybe just short of $3B. Lets just round it off to $5B plus change and call it a day. Then the monument(sorry library) will look like The Who “Who’s Next” Album Cover
If any building deserves the Howard Roark treatment it is this one. The blatant theft of public land is appalling and disgusting. There will be no justice until this building is eliminated and is once again parkland. Forever open, clear and free.
Just read Matt Taibbi’s recent retrospective on the bower in chief who led from behind…
Guy was a grifter and a charlatan – his only accomplishment was persuading folks that schmucks can come from every race!
Any truth to the rumor that there will be a solid gold statue of Obama that each visitor must kneel before and kiss before entering the “library”?
Probably right next to The Colossus of Pelosi.
