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.
“No Thinks” protests … <yawn>
That’s funny, outside of Fox and other such echo chambers, it’s the costumes and signs that stole the show.
It’s almost like they think this was just an opportunity to demonstrate their theater kid chops, and not serious at all. Maybe someday they will get over high school.
Especially amusing to see the “geezer contingent” (I’m 70, lol!) out blabbering their lame 60’s nonsense – I guess some never strive to grow up… they acted like it was akin to the 1970 Kent State “massacre”…
I’m not going to let you get away with this. Violent symbolism – which was everywhere at these protests – is unacceptable in every circumstance. You’re not going to get away with just waving your hand, like a Jedi Master, and ordering us to look away at the funny Drumpf costumes instead.
I didn’t hear of a single gallows constructed to hang the Vice President.
