On April 18th, during the Chicago “wilding” riots, over 25 black teens (not white, Hispanic or other) attacked this white woman who was minding her own business and entering her home. Why? Because she is white. They brutally beat on her, sending her to the hospital with serious injuries. Does Black Lives Matter find this acceptable?
Chicago, just elected a new Democrat Mayor, Brandon Johnson, that actually defended this action. He stated they are “oppressed” but how? So, it's ok for black citizens to attack white citizens just because they feel they are without certain opportunities or wealth?
The new Mayor explained they were justified in looting stores because it's a form of reparations from the white man? That it's because of the corporate stores and “their” high taxes make it difficult to afford products. Doesn't the Mayor control taxes? Later, he explains that they are on welfare, and they cannot afford clothes like “white people's”.
What kind of excuse is that? It's a deflection. Plain and simple, to defend these savages. Yes, savages because normal human beings do not attack an innocent woman who did nothing to provoke them. They beat and robbed her, and not one of them was arrested. I don't want to hear any excuses that I'm attacking the black man or woman because I'm great friends with many blacks that agree with what I'm saying. I've called out my people for their actions as well!
Furthermore, I won't blame the Police or the Democrats for what happened to this innocent woman. I blame us, the REPUBLICAN PARTY, because for far too long the citizens of Illinois have cried out for leadership and looked to conservatives to place people in office to clean up the streets and hold these criminals accountable.
Instead, we have a bunch of weak knees, so-called Republicans that would rather work with Democrats to “unify” for change. They would rather let the Democrats be in control and eat their table droppings just to secure our seats in elected office. Meanwhile, if we are good little puppies, the Democrats will make sure our seats aren't challenged.
It seems to me that the Republican Party is afraid of its own shadow!
Starting now to prevent this every happening to this woman or many like her red, black, brown, yellow, or white, we need to stop being lazy and start working hard to get people in office. We should suspend the fancy fundraisers and dedicate that money to candidates to win instead of becoming “Country club Republicans” why don't you even sponsor a candidate to run for office?
It makes me sick we hold expensive fundraisers just so that money will pay for the event comprising high-priced speakers with steak and lobster being served. That's when the Republican who's who arrive dressed as they are in a wedding just to gossip and scare away grassroots conservatives looking down at them as peasants.
I have seen it first hand. You have Republicans at events shun away conservatives because they are not in the “in” crowd or just by the way they are dressed. Who are they to decide who is to be accepted into the fold?
Worse, these are the same ones deciding on who's going to run for office as moderate RINOs that don't want to be indentfied as "extremist", far-right or worse, a TRUMP SUPPORTER!
Yet, these “elite” Republicans wouldn't be caught dead putting up candidate signs or knocking on doors for candidates. They look handsome in their Facebook photos looking important though.
Some people ask me why I attack Republicans? I can report to you that you can't attack them enough for their inactions and laziness that have contributed to our losses this year and last year.
Do you not remember Darren Bailey and Tom Devore when they lost their races because of only 20% Republican voter turnout? It was only 8% in the midterms primary. Pathetic!
If we don't act right now, mark my words, these thugs will show up on your doorstep. Don't be a fool, thinking that this will not affect you or your family. How much of your life are you willing to dedicate to save our state and country? If you had to think about it, you're part of the problem. We don't need thinkers, but ones that will act and take part to make genuine change.
The Democrats laugh at us and our weak inaction every day. All we do is complain about fraudulent elections and the vaccine. We are still crying about masks and other non issues, when instead we should focus on the real issues, such as recruiting candidates and running them for office. When was the last time you donated $200.00 to a Republican candidate? Yet, you spend that on a rock concert. What's more important to you? Listening to your favorite band or saving this country.
That's what makes the difference between Democrats and Republicans. It's dedication, and right now, the Republican Party doesn't have it. The Democrats out raise us by 10 to one and circle the wagons to help each other, unlike us. Case in point, have you ever heard of a DINO? Yet, we have RINOs. Isn't that amazing.....
We better wake up right now because we are sleeping through this social change that is being created before our eyes, and who's going to pay for this? Our children. When you are dead and gone, they will inherit our debts, increased crime and this social activism that is being pushed into our kids' lives.
Tonight, I recieved an E-mail from a concerned conservative like the many other hundreds of e-mails from upset Republicans that want to know what can be done to change our party to start producing. Here is the E-mail:
I saw one of your post today and it struck a nerve. I'm pretty sure I have seen your name on FB before as we travel in some of the same groups. I am not sure why I am contacting you. Maybe out of frustration with ILGOP or the fact that you seem to be affiliated with an organization that is trying to make a difference.
I was there and saw the Lake County Republican's allow buses of people to be brought in to drop their ballot for Richard Irvin, all for an endorsement.
We watched as Richard Irvin received millions while everyone else was left to fend for themselves
I drove over an hour to pick up DeVore signs because you just couldn't get them. I was only able to get 20 because they didn't have funding to really do much.
I went to one Lake County Republicans meeting in Oct of 22 at which Keith Brin mentioned that they had received something along the lines of 400 requests to volunteer or become a committeeman. I was one of those 400, still haven't heard from them.
I went to my local Lincoln Day dinner, and thought other than raising money for the ILGOP what does this really do. It's not like the ILGOP does anything to help candidates.
Then for the last insult the local democrat precinct chair and a committeeman's spouse registered as write in's on the last day to do so for school board at my district. There is a story behind why there were two open seats that I won't get into. I should have done more at the time but I knew we had 4 parents willing to fill those seats after the election, this was a mistake on my part but where were the local Republicans? The Democrats noticed two open seats and jumped on them while we were sucking our thumbs.
These are just some of my experiences in the last 2yrs. For these reasons I have a hard time getting involved in a system that would rather see a Democrat become attorney general than give Tom DeVore some funding. From what Tom has said he ran his entire campaign with about 300k. Imagine what he could have done with a million.
Why am I telling you all this, well I've seen your post about up coming seats that will be available. Now I cannot run for any in 24 because of my location. But what I have heard over and over again is how Republicans need to work on their ground game. I would say Republicans don't have a ground game and are more reactive than proactive. That could a bit harsh but I'm just going off my experience.
So I decided to focus on Lake County. How do we turn Lake County red?
I'm proud of this young man because he knows the problem and all he wants is a solution and guidence. Help is on the way for him and many others.
So today I ask you to make that decision. Many of you will ignore my warnings and history will remember your selfish inaction while others stepped up to elect a Republican Mayor of Chicago, a Republican Illinois Governor and a Republican General Assembly!
What will you do? Be a Patriot or a loser? Because I'm done losing!
It's a shame when we find time to be active in Facebook and gossip and not have the time to volunteer. Have you ever considered becoming a Precinct Committeeman? How about running for office?
For what you decide today, not tomorrow, will define you. Let's see who will take a stand!
