A preferred ploy of left-wing change agents is to ridicule critics when they point out the undeniable parallels between the goals of today’s “progressive” movement, to include the Democratic Party in general, and the goals of the early, and very much still alive, communist movement.
If, for instance, one mentions the historical fact that nearly every adult who, at any time, was in any position of influence over a young, soon-to-be-radicalized Barry Soetoro was an avowed communist, to include his own parents, then one is immediately mocked and dismissed as a neo-McCarthyite hack pining for the bygone days of the Red Scare.… Continue Reading
In the late summer of 1944, the Allied armies liberated Northern France and began to push deeper into Europe. No one was more effective in his advance than GeneralGeorge S. Patton and the Third Army. After serving his “time-out” for slapping a couple of soldiers who were taking it easy in a med tent, Patton hit the ground running in France and seemed ready to cut his way through to Berlin, rusty bayonet clenched in his teeth. … Continue Reading
On Wednesday, Governor Pat Quinn dressed up the demands of a hostage-taker into a state budget address—again.
In advance of the permanently temporary personal and corporate income tax increases he imposed on Illinois in 2011, Quinn argued that without the tax increases, social service providers would suffer.
In fact, he would see to it that they did.
Quinn’s less than subtle message to the human services community was that if they wanted to avoid seeing the invoices they submitted to the state for services rendered put into the permanently permanent pay-no-mind bin in the Governor’s office they best fall in line.
Mark Batinick, our pro-family endorsed candidate, is under a major attack from the pro-abortion contingent! His opponents know they have nothing to lose, so they are resorting to hyperbolic mud slinging. (Read more at IllinoisReview.com)
Can you believe that pro-abortion candidate Amanda Manke is openly criticizing Mark’s pro-family positions?!?! In a recent Personal PAC mailer sent on behalf of Mancke, they attack Mark for being anti-woman because he is pro-life. Liberals certainly can spin an issue, can’t they?… Continue Reading
Charles Thomas, the longtime political reporter for ABC Chicago News, helped to clear the air with an important report on Friday.
What’s defining this race is the incumbent’s new position on same-sex “marriage” and his Matune’s twenty-year old incident record the candidate calls youthful indiscretions.
Bruce Rauner, a venture capitalist from Winnetka, was asked asked by a reporter about his positions on the social issues: same-sex marriage and abortion. In the video below, Rauner dodges the question on same-sex marriage by saying that the issue should be put to the voters. On the issue of abortion, Rauner doesn’t flinch: “I am pro-choice.”
It is hard to believe that any pro-life voter would consider supporting a candidate that supports the death and dismemberment of unborn children.… Continue Reading
State Rep. Ron Sandack during gay marriage rally last summer – Photo: Windy City Times
Written by IllinoisReview.com — A new group, headed by former DuPage County Board Chairman Bob Schillerstrom’s son Glen, filed paperwork Tuesday to set up the Illinois Unity PAC. The new PAC says it was formed to support incumbent State Rep. Ron Sandack (R-Downers Grove) and Rep. Ed Sullivan (R-Mundelein) in the March 18th GOP primary.
Both Sandack and Sullivan are being challenged by Republicans that support traditional marriage.
When U.S. Senator Barack Obama campaigned for president in 2008, he criticized President George W. Bush for bringing “more and more power into the executive branch,” rather than working with Congress to meet his legislative goals:
I taught constitutional law for ten years. I take the Constitution very seriously. The biggest problem that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all, and that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m President of the United States of America.
The Illinois Primary Election is just a little more than four weeks away, and it’s time to roll up our sleeves to help get some great pro-family lawmakers elected to represent our values in Springfield.
To that end, I would like to encourage you to join us next Saturday for a Rally and Volunteer Day for Peter Breen who is running for state representative against a pro-choice incumbent.
Peter has been a strong voice for our values, working hard to promote pro-life and natural marriage policies throughout the state and nation. … Continue Reading
