You’re right. We should resent the present and past Democratic presidents.Talking about brainwashing, I would say MSNBC did it’s job. Quote: “The complete transformation occurred.” Give me a break. The present and resent past Democratic presidents came from humble beginnings and understand the ordinary people. The transformation is really a brainwash job by Fox News and the like against the presidents that care about the ordinary people.”Someone posted the idea that that voter fraud has consisted of “a whopping 311 cases of fraud out of 593 million votes cast” in the past decade or so. Those 311 are convictions, of course, which are only a very small percentage of the instances of voter fraud, the vast majority of which are never reported, let alone prosecuted. Have you ever heard of anyone being convicted of voter fraud in Cook County? Neither has anyone here.Any branch of the United States Armed services urinating on dead enemy soldiers is disgusting and those troops are not worthy of wearing the uniform of whatever branch of service they are in. What makes our country so special is we do not do things like that. I guess our country is becoming like others and being more decadent. That’s what happens when you take God out of the scenario.If you want this country to restore its greatness, be a responsible, moral, adamant figure for your children. If you fail as a parent, you fail your country. It’s 1:45 a.m. Do you know where your kids are?Parental respect? My parents were so focused on the material world they had little time for us kids. Neither ever turned down overtime so they could spend more time with the family. Now they rate their success as the size of their investments. Sad.“Please don’t comment if you’re not in that position.” You know what they say about assuming. I made the original comment and stand by it. My job left town and I was forced to start drawing Social Security. I’m old enough and am in “that position.” It’s tight and it’s tough but if I must depend on the government to survive just shoot me now.I’m not a Romney supporter but you need to read his whole statement about firing before commenting on it.If that were four dead U.S. Marines being urinated on the United States would’ve carpet bombed whatever nation’s military had done that to them. I cannot blame the Afghanis for being outraged over the photos or the Muslims and Taliban. Our presence in the middle east is not wanted. Bring them all home and stop hiding 15,000 battle ready troops in Kuwait. Newt has authored his own demise. Revenge is never a good motivator.There is an easy solution to all our problems. Just raise taxes to 100 percent for everyone and have the government decide who gets however much money.I’m tired of watching my generation become pop culture-consuming idiots. Very few young adults are educated on important issues, and are more concerned with garbage rap music and shows like ‘Jersey Shore’ and ‘Teen Mom.’ They idolize lowlife behavior. I’d like to thank my family for teaching me better than that.Scientists have started using politicians instead of lab rats because there are some things that even lab rats refuse to do.We have enjoyed Bruce Richards’ letters to the editor. He writes very well and makes much sense. To the person who is always talking about Repukes: Keep it up, this shows everyone just how stupid you really are.Semper Fidelis.I’m all for high speed rail as long as Dick Durbin has a one way ticket out of Illinois.47-37 Sorry Liberty.Well, as usual, Carrollton hasn’t had the roads cleared of snow. Almost ran into the ditch again.But the one little duck with the feather on his back, he led the others with a quack quack quack.“Yes, it is illegal to drive with both your headlights and fog lights on at the same time. Check the motor vehicle statutes. Ignorance of the law is no excuse to break it.” No, it is not. I challenge you to post the statute. The “soft” term the Left uses to censor ideas in education is the word “inappropriate,” as if the left had somehow obtained a mandate to determine what is appropriate and what is not. The term seems so inoffensive and gentle, but it effectively crushes dissent in most schools. I would like to know why Beardstown police chief Tom Schlueter handed the homicide investigation of Troy Logsdon over to the Illinois State Police? I would also like to know why the Cass County sheriff isn’t investigating it? Happened in the chiefs town, only about two blocks from the police department right under their nose’s and it’s in the sheriff’s county. Come on people a murder happened here and nothing is being done about it.Did you know a cat’s ear has 32 muscles?Those four U.S. Marines who urinated on the dead supposed Taliban soldiers are disgusting. They should be prosecuted to the fullest. Those four men who did that do not deserve to be called Marines nor wear the uniform. Court martial them and put their sorry butts in prison. Eastern Pipeline has another fire on its gasoline. That wouldn’t happen at the FutureGen site: CO2 doesn’t ignite or explode.If Democrats think that dead people should no longer vote in large numbers in elections in Cook County, why don’t they join Democrats for clean elections? Maybe the school board talked with an architect like the Catholic church did. Goldasich told the rectory was in too bad shape to repair so the church moved the priests into condos owned by Goldasich. Church members took initiative and the rectory was repaired and put into use.Concerning your editorial about registering the sales of drain cleaners. It is my understanding this is being done because the alkaline chemicals are used for methamphetamine cooking. The drain cleaners without the alkaline are not required to be registered when purchased. This follows the registering of cold medicine purchases of amphetamine.If states are going to infringe on citizens’ rights they should pay for the privilege they should foot the bills for voter IDs and whatever expense is incurred to obtain one, forced sonograms, drug testing the unemployed weekly and those on welfare monthly before getting their checks. They also should be testing all federal and state lawmakers. Everybody else gets random on the job drug tests and these people have a lot more money to buy drugs with then the general public does they should start with Ron Paul he wants to legalize every illicit drug there is and he’s a “let ’em die in the street” doctor which is really scary. The problem with Repukes is they want to force their radical BS views on everybody else but, they never want to pay for anything crying “boo hoo” at the thought of their taxes going up. Guess they think that no free lunch thing doesn’t apply to them. If you want it, pay for it.From the President’s Weekly Address: “Let me be clear: I will only use this authority for reforms that result in more efficiency, better service, and a leaner government.” He’s spent three years bloating government, now he’s “concerned?” Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Clowns are for entertainment, this clown is no longer entertaining. Campaign mode, 24/7.The choice seems to be vulture capitalism or vulture socialism. Obama took over GM, stiffed the stockholders, and gave the remains to his union contributors that steal from the rank and file that they pretend to support while funding their bloated leaders and political minions. GM is being converted to another Solyndra, making products that no one wants with bailouts from the taxpayer.They are calling the four U.S. Marines urinating on the dead Taliban soldiers a despicable act. The real despicable act was sending U.S. Marines into Afghanistan in the first place to uproot a few thousand armed men called the Taliban. We have street gangs here in America with more members than the Taliban have and we control and contain them. They could’ve done the same thing in Afghanistan and Iraq. There was no need for either war. Your subjects shall now all bow down. “I, I, I, I …”Hey, come on, quit bashing state workers. I have various relatives working in corrections, an ex one at JDC and a grandchild hopes to work in corrections. No one bought their jobs with patronage.Obama wants to raise the debt ceiling … again. He also claimed he cut a trillion in spending. Yeah, right. You don’t cut from one agency just so you can spend it at another agency. When you cut, you don’t spend the money that you cut. Furthermore, I’m sick of the fact that our military is always in the crosshairs when it comes to budget cuts. Try cutting off pensions, all perks and slashing the salaries of the elite leaders of this country. We need to have a strong military.The assassination of the Iranian nuclear physicist was probably done by Hillary Clinton and Barack H. Obama and the CIA. Iran will regardless of the United States attempts to control their nuclear program develop a bomb if they choose to. We have no right to tell them what they can and cannot do. We should have never been the worlds police. We do not have the money to continue all these endless wars and policing of the world. It will be our doom.If you’re saying “Go Marines” because of the four Marines who urinated on the dead Taliban combatants then you’re one sick individual and have no idea of what it means to be a U.S. Marine. The Corps I served in would never condone such an act.President Obama promised to redistribute the wealth. Can you name 10 poor people from 2008 who are now wealthy because Barack Hussein Obama redistributed wealth to them. Did you really believe that occurs? Really? Oh, I know its President Bush’s fault.It’s good to see more and more postings and columns written with less smug certainty and arrogance. I don’t go uptown late any more; because I’m usually in bed before it gets late these days. I must say, though, that I spent a good 20 years, or so, going to Bahans until 1:30-2. There were often large crowds of us leaving at closing time; and I don’t recall any of the patrons there ever committing any crimes on their way home. Oh, sure, there might have been the occasional DUI, but these people were not the scourge of the city. Don’t blame bar patrons for crime. Blame the police for not eliminating it.The caller who dissed (disrespected) old ladies on Social Security evidently doesn’t know that women didn’t always have the right to work and build up a nest egg. Women, up until the 70s and 80s were required to stay home and make sure it was clean when the man of the house got home. Now, if he was a boozing gambler, then he wouldn’t have left much for his wife when he passed. That’s why she has to try to eke out a living on the money she gets from SS. It’s not because she was lazy; it’s because she was married to someone who treated her like a possession, not someone that had to be taken care of. Educate yourself before you speak.Start requiring drug tests for welfare. Put some of these unfit teen moms and deadbeat dads in the clink, and give the children a future with a caring family.I’m willing to bet that the rate of lower I.Q. people reproducing is positively correlated to the unemployment rate. At this rate, intelligence and jobs will be extremely rare in a couple hundred years.Jacksonville, Illinois: Where potential is wasted and dreams go to die. Young women have their prospects all messed up these days. Find a guy with ambition, goals and determination because in 20 years, “swagger” won’t pay the bills. That might not only solve your constant relationship problems, but it might also solve the deadbeat dad problem.So much for sleeping with the enemy: Taliban says peace talks with Obama administration “don’t signal an end to jihad.”I don’t care whether Michelle Obama appears to be angry or not. I’m an angry white woman because of the overspending on vacations, etc., that in this economy should not have been done. This is taking advantage of your office or spouse’s office as the case may be. There should be limits and how about a two to four week vacation like the rest of us, otherwise stay home and do something for the American people.Jimmy Carter: Victory of Egyptian Islamist Parties, including Muslim Brotherhood, “Will Bolster Peace Process” between Israel and the Palestinians. “Peace Process”: Israel giving up everything and getting nothing. Carter/Obama … worstest presidents evah.Mitt Romney says he created 100,000 jobs while serving as CEO of Bain Capital. Since he has never told a lie, have him prove that he created 100,000 new jobs for American citizens. While he is compiling his numbers he can also show how many American workers were fired and how many companies bankrupted.Spike Lee will host a fundraiser for President Obama in his home in New York next week. According to an Obama campaign official, the film director and producer will host 40 guests at his home for Obama. Tickets will run for $35,800 per person. The event is scheduled for Thursday. Guess who the 1 Percenters are? Will the 99 Percent #OWS be there?John Edwards is a coward. He spent all those years dragging physicians down with his lies in order to make himself rich, and now he is depending on them to get him out of his own messes. This man is truly a disgusting human being. And, I’m a Democrat.A CBS News investigation has uncovered a pattern of cases of the government pouring your tax dollars into clean energy. CBS News counted 12 clean energy companies that are having trouble after collectively being approved for more than $6.5 billion in federal assistance. Five have filed for bankruptcy: The junk bond-rated Beacon Power, Evergreen Solar, SpectraWatt, AES’ subsidiary Eastern Energy and Solyndra. Obama counts every failure as a success.Why does the Journal-Courier keep calling me to subscribe to the paper? I am called once or twice a week. I have asked your employees to remove my number from their calling list, that doesn’t work either. Please quit harassing people. If we want your paper we will contact you.The man occupying the White House today and seeking re-election next year is a political enigma, an unknown quantity, completely unvetted and certainly not eligible to serve under the Constitution’s simple, straightforward requirements for office.Some of us have to eat dog food to survive.We have vulture capitalists right here. We call them slum landlords.I don’t care about your fog lights, but if you try to stick them up my tailpipe I will brake check you.Poppycock.No one cares if you make a comment about Repukes, they only care if they’re true or not. The problem is that you make these dumb comments and they are lies. Yes we care when you lie. Just tell the truth, is it really that difficult?Right after Quinn raised the income tax rate another class of state troopers got the green light to start up. Another group of 50 guys retiring making nearly a hundred thousand and health care on their pension. And all to do nothing but write tickets to generate revenue for the state.Go to 42:30 of the following video clip to hear Mayor Ezard of Jacksonville tell you that he is OK with city employees retiring with full pension and fully paid health insurance and immediately taking another full time position with the city also drawing a salary. Double-dipping is apparently acceptable with you Jacksonville city government. [Link]I find it interesting that the next presidential election is at our doorstep and Obama is finally trying to merge agencies to save money. Where were these ideas three years ago? It’s a re-election ploy.You all realize, don’t you, that the unusually warm weather we had for several weeks before this current cold snap was merely part of a clever and nasty plot to set you up to be shocked by the cold weather, a plot designed and hatched by the Republican Committee of Misinformation and Deception. It’s all W’s fault. Will some people never learn? The Springfield paper reports that Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford is actually leasing his apartment from indicted crook Bill Cellini. Talk about being tone deaf to corruption.It’s a lot easier for us to tell the truth about your precious Obummer than it was for you to tell the truth about Bush, obviously. Quote: “No one cares if you make a comment about Obama, they only care if they’re true or not. The problem is that you make these dumb comments and they are lies. Yes we care when you lie. Just tell the truth, is it really that difficult?”Does anyone think that the upcoming violence this spring and summer by the Occupy Wall Street mobs does not have the full blessing of the Obama administration? If you have doubts about this blessing, I have a bridge to sell you that connects the borough of Manhattan to the borough of Brooklyn. Every year, on Martin Luther King Day, some speaker will claim that Dr. King’s dream has not yet been fulfilled, and that America still has a long way to go before we can say that Dr. King’s dream has been realized. Some serious questions for my African American friends: What further changes need to take place in America for you to say that you’ve finally achieved true equality, that racism in America is a thing of the past, and that we’ve really become a post-racial society? And, just what are the criteria or measurements you would propose, which would allow us to answer these questions in a meaningful way? And, please, don’t accuse me, a middle-aged white male, of racism for merely asking these questions. I have no intention of stirring the pot, and I really am interested in your thoughtful response to my questions.“Last week I witnessed someone purchasing dog food with a Link card at Aldi. How is this OK?” Everyone here hopes the person was nourished by the dog food, and we hope that if that person has a dog he shared some with it. Let’s not be mean to dogs. If Obama supporters had any affinity for the truth, they wouldn’t be Obama supporters.Total congratulations to Tim Mann, Saif Mouilish and Richard Evans on their efforts toward the coat drive. These type of activities are what a community is all about. While we rarely have things like this these days, the desire to do the right thing is still here and alive in Jacksonville. Keep the momentum, what can we do next?Are you able to back that up with some evidence?A playground in a church. This is what is wrong with churches now. They want to play and be like the world. Teach your children what God is about and raise them right. Church is not meant to be a social club.I gave my cat a lobotomy and now he is a conservative.
