New Trier, Ill - Northeastern Cook County, Chicago suburb
Tired of hearing lies, half-truths, and being referred to as Nazi's and Chihuahua's, a man identifying himself as a veteran stood up and educated a group of snide, elitest Chicago Democrats drawing cheers and shout of approval from the crowd who had shown up to forum billing itself as a "space for real conversation", only to be told to "shush" time and again.
Don't take my word for it. Watch the video. Pay attention especially to the guy at the 15 second mark, who addresses the room in a tone of voice normally reserved for a 2-year-old. This is the voice of the elitest who views himself as intellectually superior to those around him, and is disgusted to even be in the same room to people he views as lower than primordial sludge, and thus addresses them with a voice that drips with contempt.
This was not a forum to have a "real conversation", as advertised. This was a lecture, put on by leftists, to allow them to tell everyone HOW things should be, and how they are going to be. Unfortunately for them, a US military veteran, along with a whole bunch of pro-Second Amendment, pro-Constitution people showed up and told them how things are.
Remember. There are a whole lot more people like this veteran, who love our Country and our Constitution, than the media and the leftists want you to believe.

Chicago July 4th Weekend Shootings of Blacks Dwarf Sandy Hook, Media Uninterested
Posted by Brian
I don't celebrate this. It pisses me off. 74 people shot. 12 dead. Since Wednesday! Over 200 killed this year, or more than 1 per day. Yet the media are virtually silent, concentrating instead on a San Francisco plane crash that killed two people. Perhaps the fact that the vast majority of the Chicago victims are black has something to do with it.
In Newtown, Adam Lanza killed 26 people, including 20 children, and the media goes ballistic. The media also had a field day with the shootings in Aurora, CO, and at Columbine. The common theme among those shootings is that the victims were white.
The vast majority of the people dying on the streets of Chicago, Detroit, Washington, DC, and many other gun control meccas is that the victims are black or another minority. Plus, it's not white people killing blacks. It's black on black crime. This doesn't fit the media for a good story. Tip for the media: The story is not the race of the people being killed, or who's doing the killing. It's the horrendous numbers of people being killed as a direct result of strict gun control laws.
Chicago's (and New York's, Washington, DC, etc...) gun control laws, touted by politicians and so-called experts as a blueprint or the rest of the country, prove time and again that they do not make Chicagoan's safer, but actually make people targets for the criminal element who do have guns.
While Obama and the rest of the leftists in this country try to make it harder and harder for law-abiding citizens to get firearms and ammunition for their own protection, those cities where they have been successful with strict gun control laws look like shooting galleries for the criminals.
Meanwhile, in places where concealed carry is lawful, and law abiding citizens are able to own and obtain firearms easily, crime statistics plummet. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out the connection.
We as citizens need to start pointing out the hypocrisy, and complicity, of the media in keeping Americans ignorant of the real statistics and deadly results of gun control laws.

Chicago police to stop dispatch for certain crimes
Posted by Tom
CHICAGO — The Chicago Police Department hopes to free up the equivalent of 44 officers a day by no longer dispatching cops for certain crimes, like burglaries and car thefts in which the offender is no longer at the scene and no one is in immediate danger. Police confirmed the change, which takes effect Sunday. Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told aldermen last year he was considering a move in that direction. The change is not related to plans by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and McCarthy to shift what they indicated was as many as 200 officers from administrative duties to beats so more officers can be assigned to teams that saturate crime hotspots, city spokesman Bill McCaffrey said.
What wonderful news for victims of crime! Not only do they feel vulnerable to the violent criminals, but now they have no way to ever achieve justice when being victimized by the other criminals. Dare we infringe upon the Civil Rights of the armed Criminal gang members, as it's far easier to infringe upon the Constitutionally protected rights of law abiding gun owners. Sounds reasonable to me. Now we have an unarmed, law abiding segment of society, an armed criminal element and an apparently impotent police department. How's that for "common sense" and justice?

Veteran Stands up for the 2nd Amendment at Chicago Anti-Gun forum
Posted by Tom
On January 20, 2013, the New Trier Democrats held a "Guns and Public Safety Forum" in Chicago. A veteran rose to address speakers and defend both the First and Second Amendments.
Here's a short transcript of the exchange, the video is below:
Thank God for brave men who are willing to stand and defend our Freedom and Liberty... Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
On January 20, 2013, the New Trier Democrats held a "Guns and Public Safety Forum" in Chicago. A veteran rose to address speakers and defend both the First and Second Amendments.
Here's a short transcript of the exchange, the video is below:
Veteran: Sir, sir. While you’re standing up. I’ve sat here [inaudible] and I’d like to agree with the professor. Everyone standing in this room right now, especially the veterans in the room right now, know, that we are all Americans. The problem with this country right now is it’s us and it’s f***ing them. We need to stop this crap.
Now, the thing I would like you to answer, sir. And I did go to war for this country. Whether it was for everyone in here’s ability to have oil and gas in their cars, or the banks, or whatever. I went to war for my country.
And I went to war for your ability to have the First Amendment, to say what you stood up there and said today, to write what you want to write in your newspaper, and have whatever opinion you want to have. You can practice whatever religious freedoms you want. I would like you to answer the question, since you just said that one of the rights that I went to war over to defend, that is inalienable, to every American citizen. If this discussion was going on, about your First Amendment rights, would you still have the same opinion that we don’t need that any more either.
Goodman: You didn’t hear my answer….that’s not what I said…I said it doesn’t matter what their reasons are, what matters is whether or not it’s relevant today.
Audience member: It’s an eternal truth, an eternal truth….
Goodman: When they consider any part of the Constitution, any law, they’re going to say, “what does it mean today?”
Audience: NO!
Veteran: The threat of tyranny, today, is no less than at the turn of the century in 1900, in 1800, or in 1700!
Thank God for brave men who are willing to stand and defend our Freedom and Liberty... Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

CRAZY? Chi-Town Voters Reelect Judge Diagnosed Legally Insane
Posted by Brian
Insane Chicago Politics
Who is more insane? A Cook County Circuit Judge who has been deemed "legally insane", is barred from the court house she works in, and is charged with assault on a sherriff's deputy... or Chicago residents who reelected her by more than 60% of the vote?
Remember, the morons who voted to reelect this nut job are the President's "base" voters.
This is the steep mountain we have to climb, 'cause these people are bat-shit crazy!
Cynthia Brim, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Previously Deemed 'Legally Insane,' Reelected
Posted: 11/07/2012 4:17 pm EST Updated: 11/07/2012 6:16 pm EST
A Cook County Circuit Court judge was handily reelected Tuesday a matter of hours before she was due to appear in court for allegedly assaulting a deputy sheriff this spring, an attack her attorney previously blamed on the fact that the judge was "legally insane" at the time.
Judge Cynthia Brim appeared in court Wednesday and told the Chicago Tribune she was "just happy the people voted me back in" after her status hearing.

Chicago Teacher Union Marches With Marxist Organizations On Veteran's Day
Posted by Brian
That the Marxists have infiltrated the unions and the educational system is by now a known fact to those who pay any attention at all to this kind of stuff. But to many Americans, this is just conspiracy nut talk. Why wouldn't it be? The media actively suppresses any mention of what groups are involved in "teachers" strikes, protests, and "learning conferences".
Listen to the NBC reporter speaking of a recent march in Chicago, and the story is of "teachers and parents" marching for "better contracts" and "looming school closures". Nowhere in the story is it mentioned that there were barely any teachers participating in the march, and that the vast majority of the marchers were actually from the International Socialist Organization, members of ANSWER, and other Marxist groups. It was also omitted that this march took place the weekend after the International Socialist Organization Midwest Marxism Conference , a "training" forum for teachers held at Northwestern University.
Amazingly, or maybe not so amazing, is that the reporter was virtually uninterested in this back story to the march.
Of course, I'm just a right-wing McCarthyite trying to bring back the "Red Scare" of the '50's. Move along. Nothing to see here.
NBC REPORTER HIDES CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION MARXIST TIES, CALLS BREITBART 'FULL OF SH**'
by REBEL PUNDIT 14 Nov 2012, 4:03 AM PDT
On Saturday, Chicago Teachers Union Vice President Jesse Sharkey participated in the International Socialist Organization Midwest Marxism Conference at Northwestern University. Much of the conference focused on the successful intervention and assistance by the ISO to the Chicago Teachers Union during the recent strike this fall.
On Monday Jesse Sharkey and the members of the International Socialist Organization and Party for Socialism and Liberation, along with Action Now (the new ACORN), lead a protest march in downtown Chicago. After Mr. Sharkey refused to answer any questions regarding his participation in the event, I asked NBC 5 Chicago's Charlie Wojciechowski, if he would question the CTU VP at the socialist lead teachers march.

Teachers Descend On University Conferences For "Marxist Training"
Posted by Brian
WAKE UP CALL! WAKE UP CALL!
Teachers flock to Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison for training in Marxism!
Teachers, many of whom actually do feel a calling to educate our children, as well as provide safe learning environments, are the people we trust them with for about a third of each day. Unfortunately, the teachers unions have been hijacked by far-left Marxist goons, and through the unions and the universities, are providing Marxist revolutionary training to teachers and others.
These individuals are not being trained to educate, but to re-educate our children, and embrace a marxist future, not only for the United States, but internationally.
They use bullying tactics, both physical and mental, mocking their perceived foes, are dismissive, rude, and generally juvenile...and dangerous.
Eventually their "peaceful" methods will give way to more violent forms of intimidation. It is inevitable. History has shown us who they are and how they operate.
Many of them are useful idiots for the leaders of these movements. Blinded by promises of a utopian workers "paradise", "fairness", and working for the "common good", they become intellectually vacant,. They become incapable of critical thinking, and are simply followers of their benevolent leaders. Unsatisfied with their perceived lot in life, and convinced that unfairness is at the root of all of their problems, they become foot soldiers for a movement which will lead to the eventual destruction of many of them.
If the communists were to gain control here in the U.S., many of these so-called party loyalists would no longer be found to be loyal enough. As with the "purges" in the aftermath of all revolutions, and as these useful idiots realize too late that their utopian fantasies are a lie, they are no longer "useful", and in fact pose a threat to those they helped put in power, and are summarily eliminated.
This is not some spontaneous thing. The Communists are feeling that with the reelection of Barack Obama, now is their time to go full steam ahead on "fundamentally changing" the United States.
Be vigilant.
TEACHERS FLOCK TO NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY FOR 'MARXIST CONFERENCE'
by REBEL PUNDIT 12 Nov 2012
This Saturday, the Midwest Marxist Conference was held at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. The event was teeming with teachers who spoke about the new found bond between the radical socialists and their Teachers Union. The all-day event, which collected money to support Chicago Socialists and featured a communist bookstore, provided students on-campus along with the radical left community to plan the next phase in their activism.
Becca Barnes, a Chicago Teachers Union teacher and organizer with Chicago Socialists, proclaimed at the beginning of the conference that “the struggle here in the United States has entered a new phase. Nowhere have we pointed the way forward more clearly than here in Chicago with the teachers union strike.”
After the opening plenary, breakout sessions addressed more specific topics like the history of the Democratic party, education, and case studies in Russia. In these sessions, speakers continued to celebrate the use of education as a mechanism to insert Marxism into public institutions. In one session, the idea of targeting their message to students, even over “the working class,” was debated.

79% Of Chicago 8th Graders Not Proficient In Reading

Johnny can't read, but the Chicago Teachers Union is asking for a 30% pay raise and fighting against school choice for failing schools (thus keeping the union dues money flowing).

Only 21 Percent of Chicago Public School 8th Graders Proficient in Reading
By Terence P. Jeffrey February 17, 2012
(CNSNews.com) - In the Chicago Public Schools, where the teacher’s union is now seeking a 30 percent raise over the next two years, only 21 percent of 8th graders tested at grade-level proficient or better in reading in 2011 and only 20 percent tested at grade-level proficient or better in mathematics, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress tests administered by the U.S. Department of Education.
The reading and math scores of Chicago public-school 8th graders not only ranked below the national average and the Illinois average, they also ranked below the average for 8th graders attending public schools in other large cities around the country.

Chicago Teachers Union: 20% Smaller Classes, 30% Pay Raises
Posted by Brian
As Chicago and the state of Illinois sink deeper into the red, the Chicago Teachers Union is "negotiating" for a 30% pay increase for teachers over 2 years. The highest paid teacher in the state is currently making over $203,000. Under the unions demands, this teacher would then be making $264,100.20, more than some CEO's make.
Oh, and the projected deficit of the district schools is a reported $720 million.
Union President, Karen Lewis (who makes more than $300K in pay and benefits), stated: "We are not negotiating this in the public". Well you should be you arrogant, porcine jerk. Seeing as this is a "public" union, payed for with taxpayer dollars, my question is: why is this NOT being played out in public.
This is the problem with public unions. They, and government officials who receive political donations from these unions, sit around a table and negotiate how much of the taxpayers money is going to change hands, in the form of exorbitant salaries, and ridiculous benefits packages. Unlike unions who negotiate with private companies and private money, public unions are beholden to the taxpayers for their pay and benefits. They are negotiating against the taxpayers, with the taxpayers having no say in how much of their money is going to be confiscated from them in the form of property, local, and state taxes to pay for this crap.
Illinois taxpayers should raise holy hell about this outrage!

I know. I'm just spreading Islamophobia. But is it Islamophobia when they are seriously trying to kill you or your fellow countrymen? Or when they are trying to set a a parallel religious legal system to our own legal system (Sharia law)? Or when they claim that they don't want to coexist with other faiths and should be "the only accepted religion on earth"? Some call it Islamophobia. I call it keeping my eyes wide open.

CBS Standing before a federal judge in an orange jumpsuit and his ankles shackled, Raja Lahrasib Khan, 58, said he was pleading guilty to one count of two counts of attempting to provide material support terrorism. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped the other count.
