What's Happened To The Land of Lincoln ?

Two stories from Illinois lawmakers this past week go towards answering that question that is also being asked from sea to shining sea across America by we citizens that feel more and more like Aliens in our own neighborhoods, cities and states each and every day.

The first one involves the new everything but American-like ban statewide on smoking in public places, mandated by the state as opposed to individual municipalities deciding what may be best for them and their residents. I don't see the left radically opposing this infringement on our freedoms like they do when the government taps the satellite phones of known terrorists.

Senate approves ban on smoking in public

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: "SPRINGFIELD -- All restaurants and bars across Illinois would have to go smoke-free under legislation approved Thursday by the state Senate.

The measure would replace the patchwork of local smoking ordinances across Illinois with a single policy meant to protect people from secondhand smoke in the workplace." read more
These same smokers who are treated like criminals byt he way are also the ones asked to foot the burden of Illinois state taxes which in Crook County where I reside (on the border of with Lake County) brings a pack of cigarettes into the $6.50 per pack range, whereas literally across the street once can go and get the same pack for $3.30 in Lake County which obviously collects 3 less dollars in tax per pack then Crook, now you begin to see why I and millions of others refer to it as Crook County as opposed to Cook?

So isn't it a bit ironic that the outcast renegade hated smokers regularly foot such a great tax burden in this state along with others, as do gamblers by the way, and yet smoking indoors is classified as a pathetic criminal activity.

The second story involves the legislators stepping closer to handing over drivers permits to illegal aliens inviting the millions across the country that aren't already sucking off the state in one way or another to come here and join their countrymen turning Illinois into Tijuana North.

Venga el que viene todos, recoge al jinete bajo Chevy y la cabeza a Illinois, AArrribbba!!

Translation= Come one come all, pack up the low rider Chevy's and head to Illinois, AArrribbba!!

Illegal alien driving privilege passes IL House

Illinois Review Blog: SPRINGFIELD -- Using the clout of former Republican Governor Jim Edgar to tip the scales for undecided lawmakers as to whether they should open the way for illegal aliens to drive on Illinois streets and highways, State Rep. Edward Acevedo's HB 1100 passed in a close 60 to 56 today. more here
