…Right?

…disagreement becomes personal rather than productive, and legitimate dialogue is suppressed. Politicians encourage this to sustain a loyal and divided constituency, and sadly the media does it for ratings.

Happy Thanksgiving

Richard Daley, Luis Guitirrez, Mark Kirk, Charles Rangel, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, the Kennedys, Obama, Schwarzenegger, Tom Cross, Al Franken and Gavin Newsom actually stand in the United States of America as public servants today.
On the other hand, whether or not you like their respective politics, just yesteryear we had as public servants, the brilliant minds of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
We the people of the United States of America have ABDICATED OUR POLITICAL RESPONSIBILITY. We the people can turn it around, but in the meantime we are CONTINUING to destroy our nation……for our children.
The bad that is happening today, and it is very bad, is our fault – we the people.
We the people are emasculated cowards building a nation of neutered, emasculated cowards – collectively.

President George Washington – October 3rd, 1789
Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and
Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d dy of October, A.D. 1789.

President Abraham Lincoln – October 3rd, 1863
In the midst of the Civil war, President Lincoln issued a proclamation on July 15th, 1863, setting aside August 6th as a day of thanksgiving, principally acknowledging the United States’ victories on land and sea. The following proclamation was issued a few months later.
The year that is drawing towards its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conflict; while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.
Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battlefield; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity, and union.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this 3d day of October, A.D. 1863, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.
(signed) Abraham Lincoln

I, as did President Lincoln, “implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity, and union.”

However, liberals have made it illegal to pray in public schools today.

In my humble opinion, it would behoove us all to vote for conservative (reform) republicans.

On Tuesday, February 2nd, Vote REPUBLICAN.

If you are a proud Catholic, do not read this http://www.tomroeser.com/blogview.asp?blogID=25102 , unless you want to get sick and depressed.

“Catholic leaders” are destroying our Church. These “leaders” are supporting the enemy! “Catholics” are supporting anti-catholics. The anti-Catholics are laughing as they destroy the United States of America and destroy our Roman Catholic Church.
The Roman Catholic Church “leaders” are taking OUR MONEY and giving OUR MONEY TO THOSE WHO HATE US.
The Church is working against the Church.

Again: The anti-Catholics, of course, are working against the Catholics.
Now, actually for years, the Catholic Church is ALSO working against the Catholics. Stunning Tragedy!

Reasons? In my opinion a) some “priests” are bought off financially in different ways, b) some are so pathetically naive and liberal to believe democrats and ACORN are good people who are just helping the poor and C) some are blatantly infiltrating our Church to destroy both the Church and the American state.

This world is upside-down.

It’s official:
Daley has RIPPED 0FF taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars on the parking meter SCANDAL

http://www.streetsblog.org/2009/11/20/its-official-chicago-parking-privatization-a-massive-rip-off/

I mean , really , how much can Daley lie?

Judicial Watch v. Office of the Mayor of Chicago, et al.
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s office to obtain records related to the Obama administration’s failed bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago. President Obama tapped White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett to lead the Olympics effort, despite her personal and business ties to Chicago, which included a stint working for Mayor Daley. The Obama White House granted Jarrett a conflict of interest “ethics waiver” to allow her to serve as “Olympics Czar,” despite her having personally led the Olympics bid for Chicago before entering the White House. (Other potentially conflicted White House officials with Chicago-ties include Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Senior Advisor David Axelrod.)

HTTP://WWW.NYTIMES.COM/2009/11/20/US/20CNCMETERS.HTML?PAGEWANTED=2&_R=1

It APPEARS that Daley is robbing billions of Chicago taxpayers’ (and Illinois payers) dollars and giving ot to his political mobster pals. It appears he is committing the hugest abuse of OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT in history.

Is it just me? Can I be murdered for writing this?

CHICAGO NEWS COOPERATIVE
Company Piles Up Profits From City’s Parking Meter Deal
By DAN MIHALOPOULOS
Published: November 19, 2009
After a rocky start hurt their bottom line, Chicago’s new parking meter operators are raking in more than $1.1 million a week and expect even more revenue next year, according to internal company documents obtained by the Chicago News Cooperative…….

The parking meter company projects total revenues of more than $75 million and net income of about $58 million in 2010, after a second round of rate increases go into effect across the city on Jan. 1. In the first 10 ½ months of operation ending Dec. 31 of this year, the company expects $32.7 million in net operating profit, for a 70 percent profit margin……..
Financial experts who reviewed the data say Chicago could have made out much better in the long run had it just kept the meters. The private company, Chicago Parking Meters LLC, paid the city $1.15 billion in February for the right to reap all parking fee revenues for 75 years. Under the deal, rates immediately quadrupled at most of the city’s 36,000 meters……..
The source that provided the documents to a reporter said the parking lease value was a matter of great civic importance and the company’s profits should be made public. But the source wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from the private meter company or the city. The Chicago News Cooperative verified the authenticity of the documents……….
.
“Had we done this ourselves, it could have made a lot more money,” said Alderman Scott Waguespack, one of the dissenters when the City Council took a quick 40-5 vote in favor of the deal. “It was too easy for the mayor to give it away and get the quick shot in the arm.”
Mr. Daley heatedly disputes …
Also benefiting from the parking deal are investors in Chicago Parking Meters, the venture led by New York-based Morgan Stanley. (where his nephew works…..but denies any connection OFCOURSE)
……………..Company Piles Up Profits …………..
Because the company is not writing tickets, it seems many Chicagoans are getting away with parking for free. A company audit of a section of the North Side found 41 percent of occupied spaces filled by motorists who were not paying, according to the company records.
Now, however, the parking company wants to resume writing tickets. The meter company “has notified city of desire to get enforcement back into effect,” the documents show……….
City officials declined to comment when asked this week about the company’s plans to return to writing tickets. A spokesman for the Daley administration’s Revenue Department said the city could not comment on internal parking company documents. ………
City workers have continued to write tickets, and Chicago still keeps the fines, regardless of who issues the tickets………
Examining the parking company’s numbers so far and its 2010 projections, financial experts said they expected that private investors would be happy with the deal………..
“There is little doubt they will recoup their investment in a relatively short period of time,” said Dennis Enright, an investment banker who specializes in privatization deals for NW Financial in Jersey City, N.J.
Mr. Enright added … the city’s taxpayers would have been better served by holding onto the system. …….
“The value the city could have captured was probably double what they got,” he said………
Like Mr. Enright, the economist Roger Skurski calculated the current value of the deal. Mr. Skurski said his conservative estimate was that “the city could have earned about $670 million more by keeping the asset.”…….
“They left some serious money on the table,” said Mr. Skurski, an emeritus professor of economics at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. “Sure, they got the money up front and plugged their budget hole, but on every other score, the city did not get a good deal.”……………..
Even without the benefit of revenue data from the private company, the city’s inspector general had issued a report in June asserting that the true value of the parking system to the taxpayers could have been more than $2 billion………..
In any case, the vast majority of the money that the company paid his (”THE DALEY MOB”) administration will be spent within a couple of years of the deal’s approval………..
The Daley administration will use up more than $400 million from the deal by the end of this year. Under the mayor’s proposal for next year, which the Council will vote on Dec. 2, almost an additional $600 million will go toward balancing the budget for 2010……….
“Now they’ve burned through that,” he said………..
The city’s $2.5 billion deal with a private company that wanted to take over Midway Airport recently fell through, but the mayor remains eager to revive that effort. And he has met with consultants who have suggested other assets that the city could lease, with speculation swirling around the future of Chicago’s water system.
[ just keep voting for daley and his political democrat party allies such as emanuel and barack husein obama ]

“What? Death? It’s a personal thing. That has nothing to do with my public career. That’s an insult to me,” Daley said.

“My son died …’Cause someone that you love dies, that changes your public career? …What a silly question to ever ask anybody. If your mother died, does that change your life? What’s wrong with you people? Don’t you have any respect for people anymore? I know you want to make a lot of money. You want to be on TV. You want to ask me a lot of questions. But, do you have any respect for anyone? I guess you don’t. It’s kind of a sad comment. You owe me an apology.”

These were the stunningly obfuscating words of one Rich Daley, a suffering tragic figure of Chicago politics, paying the price for his fraudulent governmental/political life.

“This is, in theory, still a free country, but our politically
correct, censorious times are such that many of us tremble to give
vent to perfectly acceptable views for fear of condemnation. Freedom
of speech is thereby imperiled, big questions go undebated, and great
lies become accepted, unequivocally as great truths.” — Simon Heffer
