What the Rest of Illinois Votes For....

While residents of Chicago and suburban counties are voting from criminals and liars, the 'rural' counties are working to expand the rights of citizens:

Measures supporting concealed carry were on the ballot Tuesday in at least 10 mostly rural counties _ Adams, Bond, Henry, McDonough, Mercer, Randolph, Rock Island, Schuyler, Stephenson and Warren _ and passed overwhelmingly in every one.

So why don't we have more progress in getting it?  Because the Chicago Machine is doing everything they can to keep people defenseless. Not that I expect anything different.

Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others

What would happen to you if you'ld robbed a store of several thousand dollars? Well, Jesse (I have a FOID) Jackson Jr. will likely get a 'plea deal'.

 WASHINGTON (ABC NEWS) -- Attorneys for the Justice Department and Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. are in talks about a possible deal regarding allegations of campaign finance violations, according to sources familiar with the investigation. Negotiations have been under way for some time.

 Well we know what will happen.  Since he's part of O's Chicago Machine, NOTHING will happen to him.  Nor will the ISP revoke his FOID card.

The whole nation is turning into Chicago.

What Illinois Votes For

November 7, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Despite the fact he was indicted on bribery charges and expelled from the Illinois House, State Representative Derrick Smith was re-elected in the 10th District...
 ...The numbers Tuesday suggest that to be true. Smith won with 63 percent of the vote.

And.

As expected, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Chicago) cruised to an easy victory with 63 percent of the vote in the Second Congressional District, despite having been absent from work since June. Jackson has also been under two separate federal investigations in the last few months: One regarding his role in Rod Blagojevich's attempt to sell the Senate seat, and another regarding his mismanagement of campaign funds for personal use.

Plus:

 Longtime Republican state Rep. Angelo “Skip” Saviano of Elmwood Park lost his bid for re-election to Democrat Kathleen Willis of Addison.

And:

Des Plaines Mayor Marty Moylan thanks Mary Pat Monteleone, left, and Kathleen Fergus for their support, while visiting with patrons at the Sugar Bowl restaurant after winning the 55th State House District race in Tuesday’s election.

 Not to mention:

Judge in court to face charges hours after re-election Cook County judge was suspended from bench, charged with battery in March incident 

 So between a combination of redistricting and outright stupidity, IL will now remain the laughing stock of the states and there will be no CCW, taxes/fees will continue to skyrocket and the legislature spends us into the 3rd world.

I wash my hands of you.

My Day

I guarantee you that my day was full of more sh!t than any of you unless you happen to be a septic tank cleaner. I come home to the kids just on one resulting in some extra chores and punishments.

 But then I opened the mail and found this:
 

Not so bad after all. 

Think About This

Pakistani parents say they killed 15-year-old daughter with acid for eyeing boy

  The father said the girl had turned to look at a boy who drove by on a motorcycle, and he told her it was wrong.
"She said `I didn't do it on purpose. I won't look again.' By then I had already thrown the acid. It was her destiny to die this way," the girl's mother told the British broadcaster.

OK. Even putting aside the disgusting concept of 'honor killings' and the blas'e reaction by the mother, who the hell carries industrial strength acid around w/ them in something that can be opened and thrown in seconds and why would he ? 

Kind of puts that whole 'War on Women' thing here in perspective, doesn't it?

Illinois Voter Guides 2012

In case you've been living under a rock for the last year and are unaware there's a general election tomorrow, here are various voter guides for you to use.

NRA

ISRA

Illinois Carry Survey

And the DOOT opinion on Kathleen Willis and  Marty Moylan.

Go out and vote. If you choose not to, then you are part of the problem when you complain about all the idiots that are running.

CSGV's Continuing Influence

Well Ladd Everitt put up another one of those 'Insurrectionist' hit pieces trying to associate blogger names and Google results.  Being one of his favorite 'Traitors', I got included.  The results?

12 hours. Over 500 comments on the Huffpo page. 5 pageviews from 4 different places.

I am underwhelmed.

So basically the majority of people commenting in support of the article are just going off the surface propaganda and distortions Ladd puts out but don't do any in-depth research.  Typical of gun control advocates.  Not that that's a worry because that's the amount of effort they'll put into their activism as well.

It doesn't come as much as a surprise though. The CSGV has never had much in the way of actual activity by their alleged supporters.

I will say it's fun watching them slowly go into mental breakdown.

Catch-22

So we've seen the effects of the hurricane on NY and NJ.

One would think that being prepared for an event like this would be a good idea.  Having extra food, fuel, supplies, etc on hand just in case. However, doing so is a suspicious activity according to the FBI/DHS and one can be labeled a 'Terrorist Hot Spot'. Then they can try and strip you of your Constitutional rights (although recognizing the COTUS is yet another indicator of terrorist activity).

If you DON'T prepare you are either, as a commentor on TBFKASIH eloquently put it, "crying to your masters for scraps to live on" or (through desperation or natural inclination) looting neighborhood homes and businesses.

So in a disaster situation, the Gov't is trying to force you to either be a refugee, a criminal or a terrorist.

What a choice.

NG(V)AC Forgot to Pay Their Bill

Weer'd noted to me this morning that Elliot Fineman of the NG(V)AC had put up a new post but when he checked the site to read it, this is what came up:

 You can read part of the screed on their FB page.

Gun Fact # 6: The Alzheimer Mind of the Gun Owner « Gun Victims Action Council

gunvictimsaction.org

Like Alzheimers sufferers, gun owners are unable to respond logically. Gun Fact # 5: in our series pointed out that non-gun owners are taxed $5 billion per year to cover the cost of U.S. gun homicides. Logically this makes no sense—not one cent of gun violence costs

The stupidity of this statement is just to extreme to be believed. This is a guy who for months insisted that Starbucks was collapsing due to his 'boycott' even though SB had seen an INCREASE in sales due to the 'Buycott' in response.  The guy who believes that going 5 miles over the speed limit is morally equivalent to mass murder.  That guns can be fired using a cellphone.  That if only criminals had guns, there would be little to no crime.

I don't think it's 'Gun Owners' that are suffering Alzheimer's en masse.  Maybe I should send him his check back to help pay for his care.

UPDATE: Site is back up. Look like Eliot scrounged in his couch for pennies.
