C'mon Illinois conservatives! Start protesting! Grab the bullhorns and start pounding the pavement outside the Governor's office.

Demand action and 'transparency', as Obama has promised.

Just really disappointed that no one is seizing this perfect, true 'power to the people' opportunity. Grrrr.

Illinois has conservatives? Learn something new everyday.

"We're from Jersey. Not New Jersey, just Jersey.  We curse a lot. We say "yo" and we say it often. We sure as hell don't pump our own gas. We know what real pizza tastes like and we know that a bagel is much more than a roll wit a hole in the middle. We judge people by what exit they are off the parkway or by what mall they live closest to. We drive SUVs and we tailgate any chance we get.  All good nights must end in a diner, preferably with cheese fries. It's a sub, not a hoagie or a hero. and I wash it down with soda, not pop.  I have a dawg, and I drink cawfee.  ..and New York City, is "the city." We know 65 mph means 80 mph."-Anon

Foolish then, is he who departs from the Vicar of Christ Crucified, who has the keys of the Blood, or who goes against him . . . Even though the pope were satan incarnate himself, I may not lift up my head against him, but I must always humble myself, and beg for the Blood as a mercy, for in no other wise can I obtain a part of it -St. Catherine of Sienna.


If desire has equal power with actual Baptism, you would then be satisfied to desire Glory, as though that longing itself were Glory!-St. Gregory Nazianzen.

no such thing in Chicago. It always has been and always will be a Democrat town.

Corruption is not a one party problem here, you know.  The former Governor is in prison too

    99% of conseratives don't demonstrate or protest.  The only conservatives that I know of who protest are pro-life groups.

Chicago has very few "conservatives". It is a single party town. The group most likely to complain are the policemen and firemen. I'm in touch with several retired policemen and they are mot fuming yet.

News update; I have just received an e-mail from the retired policemen group I know. They have sent me target for practicing shooting sidearms, and it has Mayor Daley's face on it. The spaghetti sauce so to speak is past simmer. I don't know how to get it here and I'm not sure it couldn't get us all in trouble with the authorities. from deep behind enemy lines,

Sorry, but I moved out of the Chicagoland area to the state of Idaho.  Looking at all of this current news and Cook county's taxes, I still believe it is the best decision I ever made.
