Noland Quote: “…they turned to us with their dreams, and we turned their dreams into reality.”
It is only a Free People unemcumbered by the oppression and interference of utopian idealists welding the power of coercive government that can realize their own dreams. It is not, nor has history demonstrated, the tendency of governments to realize dreams, but to crush them. “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.”
Noland Quote: “…this was the time that we harnessed the very forces of nature. The wind, the sun, and Barack Obama.”
The arrogance of this statement is beyond comprehension. The messianic delusion that it exhibits, should disturb any thinking person. “The urge to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it.” - H.L. Menkin
Words matter. It’s time to shrink the scope of this metastasizing government at the State and National level, before it is too late and the citizens of Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, become beholden to bureaucratic masters of an all powerful State. Wake up America.
Yeah Mike, its sure your time. In fact, its been the Illinois Democrat’s time for I don’t know, let’s say since the 2002 re-map of Illinois gave Speaker Madigan and then Senate President Emil Jones (both Chicago Democrats) complete control over the state of Illinois. Since 2002 the Illinois Republican Party has had pretty much no power or control over the state. Every budget has since been passed pretty much along Party lines. The Democrats have controlled all legislation that has come out of both Chambers, and the Democrat Governors (both Quinn and Blago) have been able to control what ultimately gets signed into law.
So my question is simple… are you better off today then you were in 2002?
Now granted Mike is a late bloomer, and has only been part of the problem since 2006 after numerous unfruitful attempts, and Keith has barely had a chance to vote however Madigan tells him. I understand that, but are they not part of the ruling party that has made a complete mockery of ethics reform, passed 7 unbalanced budgets, mortgaged our children’s future, screwed over employee’s pensions time and again and made a habit of not paying our state’s bills for up to 9 months after the debt was incurred? Are these not the same people that drove up unemployment in Illinois to 11% by creating an atmosphere where business is over-taxed and fee’d to death? Did they not look to balance the state budget on the backs of the poor by promoting an increase on gambling? Did any of it work? No. Since 2002 education spending has increased, but our SAT scores are dropping (below Arkansas for god’s sake).
The Dems are chasing business from Chicago, lost 4 conventions in the city in the last year, millions of dollars due to high costs, and their answer is to raise taxes???
I’m not saying I have the answer (otherwise I would be running), but I would like to hear someone else’s version of the answer after the last 7 years of Democrat “time” has left our state in the third worst financial state in the union.
If you have the votes, you win. The Dems have had the votes to get elected to every state office, and I expect to see this trend continue. Mike will continue to run the show in Springfield for another four years. The Republicans lack a candidate who can win a statewide election or gain control of the GA. Like it or not. As for 2010, the Dems will win big in the Congress and in the State GA. When they send the heavyweights from Washington into Illinois to campaign and raise funds for their team, the game will be over for the GOP.
