Kirk’s Mentor is Proud of Obama

October 9, 2009 | Comments Off

I hope the subject doesn’t confuse my fellow Illinois citizens. I can see that the inclination might be to assume that the “Kirk” is perhaps former Governor Edgar’s Chief of Staff Kirk Dillard, who was by the way, former Chief of Staff for former Governor Edgar. Oh and he cut a campaign ad for a [...]

A Letter to Dear Reader Regarding Mark Kirk

September 26, 2009 | Comments Off

Dear President Obama,
I write this letter as a form of outreach to some of my fellow Illinois Republicans as well as to the mentally challenged members of your party. You see, I generally oppose the actions of liberals and “moderates”, but am being told that my values should not play such a key role in [...]

Mark Kirk: an Example of the Politician Stereotype

September 16, 2009 | Comments Off

The esteemed RINO being trumpeted as the only one who can beat the Democrat (the one that admits to being a Democrat) in next year’s race to fill the seat currently kept warm by Senator Roland “ACORN needs your money” Burris, Mark Kirk, strikes me as the sterotypical politician. The fact that he is the [...]

Central Illinois 9/12 Gathering – Not Mark Kirk’s ’s Fan Club!

September 14, 2009 | Comments Off

These are the people that Washington politicians use as target practice in their spitting contests. These are the people who served their country. These are the people who work hard to care for their families. These are the people who care about their communities and their faiths. These are the people who Barack Obama [...]

Mark Kirk For Senate: Suggested Slogans

July 15, 2009 | Comments Off

It has been revealed that Rep. Mark Kirk (IL-10) will be officially announcing his candidacy for U.S. Senate Monday. Observers will surely note that Congressman Kirk has finally decided that the competition he feared is definitely going to sit this election cycle out, so it is time to take the bold plunge.
Kirk is going to [...]

McClatchy’s Tales of Liberal Slime

July 11, 2009 | Comments Off

Politics is nasty, which is unfortunate because the politicians have so much power to harm so many. I do not know if the environment (no you Enviro-Statists, I am not talking about that environment) has always been this way, but it is clear that the defined duties of various elected positions are not very high [...]

Cap and Tax Threatens to Get Worse in Senate, Thank You Mark Kirk!

July 8, 2009 | Comments Off

Illinois is apparently about to push a hard-charging RINO for the U.S. Senate… any chance the climate change (formerly called global warming, before it became apparent that cooling seems to be occurring) bill will still be there waiting for him? We, as citizens, could not get that lucky. No, the bill for which RINO jerk [...]

Tea Party, Liberty, and Responsibility

July 3, 2009 | 2 Comments

Tomorrow we will be celebrating our nation’s independence and reflecting on the blessings we have enjoyed thanks to the vision and efforts of our founding fathers. We may wonder what the founders would think of the state of our nation as it is in modern times. I imagine their hearts would break at the sight [...]

“Sexting” is the act of sending a nude photo or video of oneself or an explicit text message to another person’s cell phone.

Congratulatory Waste in the ILGA

June 14, 2009 | Comments Off

As a frequent reader and contributor to Illinois Review, I can’t help but notice the lower right sidebar occasionally. I think the State Surge feed is an excellent way to share information about the activities of the state legislative bodies. What really caught my eye was all the “CONGRATS” resolutions.
Perhaps, given the state of government [...]
