Here’s my thought for the day: We Illinoisans, we Cook County-ans, we Oak Parkers are complicit in yesterday’s Historic Fiasco. Our people are in the thick of it: Obama, Axelrod, Emanuel, Durbin, et al. We make not a pretty sight, from coffees for Obama to Loop hotel fund-raisers, supporting the Left with nickels and dollars because that’s where the action is. Tsk, tsk.
Not all of us, not all the time, however, and a different game is afoot, as Astute Reader reports from a Southwest Side Tea Party gathering yesterday:
The tea party fundraiser was spirited and friendly. Just down-home neighborhood folks, from different parishes, even a North Sider. Some NRA guys fighting Chicago’s gun law, some firefighters, pro-lifers, vets, one young conservative pro-life candidate named Carl Segvich, who will be running against Mayor Daley’s brother for some office in the 11th District in November. Very nice articulate guy who looks like a young Joe Mantegna.
There was an elderly gentleman there, John Walsh, who is funding two buses from this area to the April 15 Tax Day rally in Daley Plaza. His organization is Americans for Life.The young woman who organized the tea party (with a great team of helpers with food and door prizes) is from my neighborhood — about 10 blocks away! She is great and is getting a bus together for both of Glenn Beck’s events coming up in the summer and has a block of rooms at DC hotels.Have you heard of the book The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party? David Horowitz is one of the authors. A woman had it and let us read the last paragraph — part of the master plan. I’m going to look for it.The spooky stuff is reality with Soros. It says he bought election officials — the position that determines election run-offs — in seven states where the vote would be close in the last election — and that’s how Al Franken won.We all sang God Bless America at the end. (It ran right on time.) I was pumped. It was a 40s-50s spirit.
Blithe Spirit 
How is it possible, in a free society, for crooks, profligates, and others unworthy of respect, to be in such total control of what was(at one time, at least) a responsible and rational system ? Have we all gone totally to sleep ?? Does no one see the tyranny creeping over us ? How can a narcicisstic demagogue make his lies and dissembling appear to be the Way, Truth and the Light ??? God save us !!! Apparently no earthly power will.
