Solving Illegal Immigration isn’t that Tough

by Diane Benjamin All of the below require politicians with guts and the desire to actually fix the illegal immigration problem forever!  Since there aren’t many politicians that qualify, We The PEOPLE have to demand changes – they are never going to do anything except amnesty.  After amnesty, we will  be right back in the […]

We did it on purpose

Casual Sundays with Mr Curry published a new post entitled “Gobsmacked” on 11/7/2012 7:42:52 AM, written by MLP. Gobsmacked Well, It’s official; I don’t know anything. I thought for sure that given such a clear choice, Americans would vote for love of country over revenge. I was wrong. I thought, that just as every presidential […]

22 Signs That Voter Fraud Is Wildly Out Of Control And The Election Was A Sham

After what we have seen this November, how is any American ever supposed to trust the integrity of our elections ever again?  There were over 70,000 reports of voting problems on election day, and there are numerous eyewitnesses that claim that they saw voting machines change votes for one candidate to another candidate right in […]

The Fly – Wondering

When buzzing in my ear is too great to ignore – I must report! http://blnnews.com/2012/09/26/fly-on-the-wall/  This report from way back in September is suddenly getting lots of reads!  Is somebody nervous? Is somebody at the County looking to close that budget deficit by actually looking at County Offices and their spending patterns? Is somebody at […]

Does Obama Doom America?

By QUIN HILLYER on 11.14.12 @ 6:10AM The question so many people are asking. The refrain started many weeks, even months, before the election, but its frequency and intensity has increased nearly exponentially since Nov. 6. “I don’t know if we can survive another four years of this,” people say. Or, “do you think we can survive […]

The Left Attacking Walmart

Read this link for what actual employees say about Walmart:  http://www.indeed.com/forum/cmp/Wal–Mart/Wal-Mart-Salaries-Bonuses-Benefits/t9640 Some good, some bad – isn’t that pretty much what every employee puts up with?  Nobody is forced to work there, even if this email makes it sounds like employees are slaves.

Want to Know what the Left has in Mind on Energy?

Watch the video.  Carbon taxes, maybe Keystone Pipeline with tons of regulations, and higher costs on coal plants. http://www.eenews.net/tv/2012/11/07/ Meanwhile: OBAMA SHUTS DOWN 1.6M ACRES TO OIL SHALE DEVELOPMENT Just two days after President Obama’s re-election, the Obama Interior Department announced a plan to shut down 1.6 million acres of federal land to oil shale development. The […]

More on Agenda 21

Below is a good video explaining Agenda 21 and how the United Nations is implementing it through ICLEI.  Neither Bloomington or Normal are members of ICLEI, but they are in contact, reading their emails, and accepting federal and state money for implementation.  Reversing this process begins with education.  Some public servants may realize what “Sustainability” is, but many think […]

Oliver Stone: Untold History of the United States

Starting November 12, Showtime will air a 12 part documentary re-writing history with “what if?”.  Many Americans have already been indoctrinated to accept high gas prices, high unemployment, and green technology as a replacement energy source.  Now Stone looks at history, as The Nation magazine describes it,  without American exceptional-ism.  The Nation is far left. Quick recap: Truman should never […]

What Presidents Have Taught Us

Jimmy Carter.  America elected a peanut farmer.  Seems like a brilliant choice:  peanut farms are controlled by the USDA to prevent competition and fix prices. So, voters expected an anti-capitalist to run a capitalist country?  Gas went over $1 per gallon under Carter and we were told “suggested” temperatures to set in our houses. Then […]

Message from SEIU

This is the best explanation of the divide in the country.  SEIU believes government is the fountain which overflows with jobs.   Obviously lacking is knowledge of debt, interest rates, economics, and where real jobs come from.  Programs going bankrupt can’t be comprehended by people who believe there are no limits to spending.  These are also the […]

Divorce Agreement

WRITTEN BY YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT The person who wrote this is a college student. Perhaps there is hope for us after all.   Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950’s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this […]

No Voter Fraud Here – sure

Below are links to reported voter fraud around the country. Is America now a 3rd World country? A Banana Republic? Why are Democrats opposed to voter ID?  It’s obvious. _________________________________ Add this link from Chicago: http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dc7e34c0cb16d56936e2a2607&id=fe984d967f&e=13c8501270 Think Lisa Madigan will prosecute?  Don’t be silly. _________________________________ Is there any doubt in your mind today that this is […]

Dr David Gill Concedes to Rodney Davis

Dr. Gill just sent an email stating he doesn’t have the votes to win.  The interesting part is who he thanked: I’m also grateful for the incredible support of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, each county party in the district and dozens of unions. I’ve been especially honored by the support and friendship of dedicated […]

Election Comedy – Who is writing the screenplay?

by Diane Benjamin   The November 6th election brought America to historic lows.  We are now a country divided by lies, deceit, corruption, and class envy.  The President did a masterful job convincing 50% of the voters business is evil and the rich are only out for themselves.  Electing him gets revenge.   The “blame […]

Message from Communist Van Jones

Keep in mind – ISU invited Van to headline the Martin Luther King dinner in January.  This treasonous Marxist is being paid over $20,000 to desecrate a dinner to honor a true patriot.     Wait! The fight isn’t over! Tuesday night was HUGE. Everyday people triumphed over big money. Years of hard work paid off. And best […]

Which Path?

by Diane Benjamin It’s impossible to believe slightly over half of America voted for free stuff.  High gas prices are the new normal, high electricity rates will follow with the war on coal, high unemployment will go even higher as businesses refuse to hire because of ObamaCare and over regulation.  Hope your free contraceptives make up the […]

Another Opinion the Pantagraph refused to print

By John Butler The initiative to abolish the office of County Recorder and have the County Clerk assume the duties of the office, is promoted as a way to save money and increase efficiency.  I am dubious that it will do either, and concerned that voters are being manipulated by facts and figures, that don’t […]

Does Kathy Michael and the County Clerks Office know what they are doing? – Update

by Diane Benjamin I just voted in Ellsworth.  The computer system and electronic ballots ARE NOT WORKING.  It is now 10:30, the poll opened at 6:00 am.  How many other machines are not working?  The computers were purchased at great expense to save the printing of election books.  Was that a good idea?  Those of us who […]

What’s the Future of the TEA Party?

CSteven Tucker 4:16pm Nov 5 I have had reporters and other individuals ask me: “Steve, what is the future of the Tea Party movement if Mitt Romney wins?” Here is my response: The core focus of the Tea Party movement will be ridding the Republican party of the “Progressive” a.k.a.
