H/T RedState:
This ad from the Republican Governors Association is impressive. It strings together a combination of images and sound bites that really got my attention. Share this video with everyone you can.

H/T Illinois Review:
At first I thought it was a joke. At least it sounded like one.
The tall woman with long brown hair walks up the front steps to her best friend’s house and rings the bell. Her friend opens the door and the tall woman gives her a little hug before entering the premises. Out by the hedge something moves. The door closes and from behind the hedge crawls a slight man with a a badge and a stainless steel comb. The little man crawls with cat-like stealth around the side of the house and perches himself where he can see through the kitchen window. “Aha!” he softly proclaims. He touches the button on his headset and whispers, “The hen is in the fox-house. Repeat, the hen is in the fox-house!” In his headset, he hears a female voice, “maintain your position until backup arrives.” “Roger!” is all the little man replies. The voice on the other end responds, “I know your name, just wait where you are!”
Go here to read the rest of the article.
Yes, our bonehead Illinois government has passed a law to cover the regulation of hair-braiders. Apparently the business of hair-braiding was out of control in Illinois.
I’ve always thought the whole barber license thing was a complete joke. It’s an obvious scam to collect fees from people so the government can spend more money on social programs. Not enough money to spend? Regulate something else and charge license fees. This time it’s hair-braiding.
What will it be tomorrow? A license to mow lawns? How about a license to clean houses? With the liberals in charge, what part of our lives will the government NOT be involved in?
Remember November, people! We’ve got to stop this insanity before it gets any worse.
H/T QuincyNews.org:
Today is a good day for Illinois and good, hard-working conservatives! The decision by the Will County election board to kick Cedra Crenshaw off the ballot for the Illinois Senate race in the 43th District has been reversed!
You can read the entire judgement in favor of Cedra here.
If you’re one of those people who’ve doubted or just refused to believe that the mainstream media is totally in the tank for Obama and his liberal cronies, you need to read this article at the Daily Caller. Not only is the MSM left-leaning, they are organized and working as a group to stifle certain news to protect their chosen Democrat politicians.
There is good news for the 17th congressional district of Illinois, of which I happen to be a member. Republican Bobby Schilling is leading Democrat incumbent Phil Hare in a recent poll by a pretty big margin.
If you’re not familiar with Hare, he’s basically a yes-man for the Chicago Democrat machine. He’s also been known to say some pretty dumb things in public, which has endeared him to residents of Quincy.
I’ve gotta give Hare a little credit though. At least he lets himself be seen in public, even if he DOES take a heck of a beating. In comparison, our own Senator Dick “Turban” Durbin won’t come to Quincy unless he can slip in and out without having to actually talk to anyone who might ask a hard question.
Bobby Schilling has my vote. If you’re reading this and you want to once again be able to tell people you live in Illinois without being embarrassed, get off your butt and support Bobby Schilling!
I DO like the looks of the new Dodge Charger and Challenger. They’ve actually got some character, unlike the car styles we had to endure in recent years. I’d love to see a remake of the Plymouth Barracuda or the Buick Gran Sport next.
Here’s an attention-getting commercial from Dodge for the Challenger.
People who know me know that I’m a big Chris Christie fan. If only he were the Governor of Illinois instead of Pat Quinn, he’d be fixing this state instead of New Jersey. Got a twin brother we can have, Chris?
Here’s an interesting story at Catholic Online showing how Christie is governing as a Catholic. Particularly insightful is their discussion of the “principle of subsidiarity” and how Christie’s policies fit that Catholic tenet.
I’d like to add that I was particularly thrilled to hear that Christie cut the state funding of Planned Parenthood in New Jersey. Catholics and other pro-life individuals should not have to pay for abortions that go so deeply against their beliefs.
H/T: Liberty Central
Why would a U.S. House-Senate conference committee work for 20 hours, finishing at 5AM, to finish work on yet another power grab by the Progressives? What’s the rush, guys? Why not go home, get some sleep, and finish up in the morning? Could it be because you don’t want the process exposed to the light of day?
And what’s up with these Democrats having Barney vote for them by proxy? A 2000-page bill of massive regulations that will have a major impact on our country, and apparently 5 members can’t be bothered to actually attend the committee? Are they telling their constituents that they don’t care what ends up in the bill, they’ll vote with Barney every time? They don’t care at all?
Remember this nonsense when you vote in November. In the meantime, you can go to Liberty Central to take action and send emails to your Senators and Representatives urging them to vote against the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform bill.
H/T Chicago Tribune:
As more and more people in Illinois hear about Cedra Crenshaw, those people are supporting her in her fight to be on the ballot for Illinois State Senate in the 43rd district.
Here’s an editorial from the Chicago Tribune that’s on her side.
Here’s the piece that I wrote supporting her before she was kicked off the ballot. My support may be small, and unfortunately she’s not in my district, but she needs every help she can get.
It’s very likely that she’s going to win her appeal to get back on the ballot. It’s also very likely that with all the press surrounding the obvious Chicago Democrat Machine attacks against her campaign, she’ll end up winning the election.
The Democrats are showing their true colors as they get more and more nervous about November.
H/T Weekly Standard:
Wisconsin U.S. Representative Paul Ryan is another outstanding conservative that I wish I could vote for. Too bad he’s not in Illinois, where we’re stuck with sad RINO’s.
Ryan isn’t just talking, he’s leading. He’s leading by coming up with real solutions to the economic problems in this country. Read more about Ryan’s Roadmap for America’s Future, or view the entire Roadmap in PDF.
Why can’t we have more people like him?
