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 believe that reading this dribble has considerably decreased my IQ.
So true. I take on the painful task of looking regularly at all the main lefty commentary sites like Nation, Slate, Salon, Mother Jones, New Republic, Atlantic to see if anything relevant to IL to link to here. “Thinkers” on the left apparently like them. IMO, they are breathtakingly stupid. I can only hope that’s apparent from what we post.
Subjected myself to reading the above… Wow, talk about vacuous – nothing in it of substance.
The author stokes fear of MAGAAAAAA without ever specifying what is so objectionable.
The vote was a decisive demand for change. It should be our goal to return to discussion… debate… civil conversations to try to find a middle…
Hahahaha, That will never happen as the fascists on the left cannot win in that forum.
Crazy times.
This son of Stalin has the fever, bad. Unmentioned is the fact that the pink hats crowd said nada about Clintons sexual exploitation of women while they were persecuting others for the same thing. Also conveniently forgotten are the loss of lives and property in the Floyd riots. If this Marxist thinks JB Moneybags really cares about the “ power to the people “ crowd other than as a means to propel him into the WH, he’s dumber than the article suggests.
Freedom state by state to free the people from tyrannical rule, blue to red.
Go Trump!!!
