A 45 year old Chicagoan's observations and commentary on top news, pop culture and an accounting of the Obama Regime and their 'statist' power grab from my unabashed, right leaning/conservative point of view..

Coming from Buffalo Grove IL, 20 miles NW of King Richard Daley's
Fiefdom AKA Chicago,Illinois,USA the land of the free because of the brave..
Here's one of my first posts and observations on a then potential Obama presidency in Feb 07/ I'm no prophet believe you me..... it was all common sense far too many today simply 'lack',
George Mason explained, “(T)o disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Noah Webster elaborated: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed
These people have incredible video of illegals, Armed terrorists, you name it invading the country each second of every day..
If this was a republican doing this the ACLU and the entire kit and kaboodle on the left would become about as apoplectic over this as they were over Waterboarding killer terrorists, even the one of 3 responsible for 911 by their own admission, which president Bush to my delight told an audience last night in Michigan "he'd do all over again to save lives".
Sure sounds a helluva lot better and better each passing moment, as the Obama Romper Room Marxist Kindergarten class is failing all subjects with flying colors, while soaked up to it's neck in corruption and crude oil.
From The Chicago Tribune:
Since last week's spate of violence along the lakefront at North Avenue, Chicago police have installed security cameras and started random checks of bags and coolers for alcohol as people walk into the beach area, city officials said Wednesday.
Ald. Vi Daley, 43rd, said the random checks were started after several arrests and a shooting between Fullerton and North avenues.
Chicago police officials said the searches target illegal drinking on the beach — the cause of several recent incidents in which beachgoers and police were injured.
Daley said there is also concern about a violent element coming to the beach. She did not think the checks would need to remain in place permanently, noting they could make people uncomfortable.
But she also said police were responding to "intimidating'' groups who wreck the experience for others.
"People should be able to enjoy the beach,'' she said. "During the day I don't think we really have a problem. Everything happens as it gets darker. The climate changes a little bit.'' read more....
North Avenue Beach, Chicago Illinois..
So back to Daley taking more freedoms away because a bunch of lowlife scum were arrested for shooting at each others, not beach goer's but lowlife gangbanging scum. So the answer from a liberal is to 'choke off the liberty of law abiding citizens thanks to 1% of the population to try and catch the one percenter's in the act when they'll just go where the camera's aren't pointing just as they do in the city.
They only help after a crime, they never stop them.
And would he allow people like myself to go armed, these gangbangers would have had to duck shots coming from the 'good guys' until the cops arrived with a meatwagon if me and my buddies were on that beach that day, and I've been here a 1000 times since high school.
However, as kids our wonderful parents and other family members usually took us all to Wauconda up north as opposed to the city beaches, this one in particular, made famous in the Blues Brothers which you non Chicagoan's may remember by this scene at "Phil's Beach" cropped from the actual movie ......*check the notes after the pic...
( the boy in the blue shorts in that brief scene, that's my little brother Brent, as he was an extra in the movie by virtue of my mom and her sister going up there and bringing him a few friends on the day they were filming this by accident, when they (he and his friends) were about 12, and this is the scene he was in.
They were each paid a $100 and has pictures of he, his friend Dewey along with Belushi and Akroyd at a luncheon they had for all the extras that day, along with the uncashed check he has hanging in his home office, the kids freaked on it )
Back to the North avenue and Oak street beaches.....
This is about half of the downtown beachfront along with "Oak Street Beach" which is concrete and off in the horizon closer to the Hancock building which this beach eventually "turns into"
Yet the Oak street spot was more expensive counting parking, plus, it's actually 'concrete' which isn't too comfortable but that didn't bother all the people from hanging there every weekend in the summer months. At least it was when I was going down there with my buddies every weekend in the late 80's.
A time when you could bring beer, liquor, food, weed, whatever the hell you wanted to, until the gangbanging Latino's and Brutha's along with NeoScum white trash as well took over the city and turned into the "mexican border" for all intents and purposes with the influx of literally hundreds of thousands of illegals everywhere you turn. Mexican, Russian, Somalian, Ethiopian, Polish, Italian, although most of the Eastern Europeans got here legally since the swim is a little far for them.
It's a 200 meter breast stroke for the Illegal Olympic team which no longer exists since all the runners, jumpers and swimmers are already here sucking off the "pipe" of American generosity.
Allow people to exercise their 2nd amendment rights and all of a sudden Chicago's finest have 100,000 deputies ready to take these losers on when needed. But no, he'd rather take the weapons away from law abiding people to turn them all into easy targets and pushovers for armed scum.
Dems Stealing Chunks of Liberty On Chicago lakefront: Police hope cameras, bag checks curb violence

How funny yet sad is this as democrats across the country who are supposed to be in "control" are now the Captains of a rudderless Titanic that just skimmed 2 icebergs and can't seem to steer away from strike three sinking the battleship.
Daley's all 'bent' because he got a threatening letter telling him to 'clean up the Chicago River" clean enough to swim in while "Obama-BP Crime Inc." cant' even plug a hole 5000 feet down for all intents and purposes because liberal land- drilling opposition caused exploration to have to drill to 'hell and back' to deliver oil.
I'm actually with the little troll this time on this one.
Chicago IS one of the cleanest hellhole's you'll ever visit. (it's actually a beautiful place minus all the illegals, the welfare state, the homicides, highest sales taxes in the nation, most rabblerousing reverends in one city, all kinds of good shit like that goin on. I don't think Sinatra would be singin' 'My kind of town' any more)
There's probably more blood on the streets than dirt in the Loop, I'll give him that much.
Mayor Richard Daley says federal officials should concentrate on cleaning the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., and dealing with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico rather than ordering the clean-up of the Chicago River.
The mayor was responding to an Environmental Protection Agency letter calling on the Chicago River to be made clean enough that it is safe for swimming.
"Go swim in the Potomac," Daley said when asked about the federal position during a City Hall news conference. "We're trying to make this river every day more cleanable.
"Let's figure out what the federal government's going to do for us in regards to cleaning all the tributaries. All the rivers are interstate," he said.
"They just can't make an announcement and walk away and say, 'Well, we did it from Washington, D.C. and that's it,' without even talking to local officials, talking to the governor and everyone else," Daley said.
"They send letters all the time. They should get down to BP and start saving the people down in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama, all their lives and their livelihood, instead
Frankly I'm really shocked oil prices aren't skyrocketing to screw us some more. At least they see how pissed off we would be if they even tried to gouge from this disaster. It also shows there's a shitload of oil down there.
So, we're in Jacques Cousteau land instead of in Jedd Clampett or Granny's back yard, better yet behind some Igloo's in Alaska which the Eskimo's are literally begging the Feds to allow it's "Journey to the center of the earth" and this is the result when a $30 battery isn't replaced.
Even Daley's In the Sites Of Feds: 'Go swim in the Potomac and fix Oil Spill'

Count one for the good guys and now we have to wonder what awaits him and if Daley and his goons will arrest the man since there's a handgun ban in the city and I'm sure many liberals would have hoped the homeowner would have used w 'wooden spoon' to 'fend off' the scumbag attacker
We can all thank the lord he didn't pay attention to Daley's moronic gun ban, as this demonstrated for the world why it should be repealed and Daley impeached and imprisoned for life as an accessory to murder in all the cases where someone was shot dead while unarmed because of it when they too could be alive had they been armed like this man.
God bless him, otherwise he and wife would be dead themselves today instead of this slab of cold meat who's headed to the same Chicago morgue John Gacy and kinds of Chicago scum has passed thr
An 80-year-old Chicago man shot and killed an armed man who broke into his two-story house in a pre-dawn home invasion Wednesday on the city's West Side.....
At about 5:20 a.m., the homeowner and his wife, also in her 80s, discovered the intruder entering their home through a back door. The homeowner, who had a gun, confronted and killed the burglar on the doorstep, police said. Cops said the intruder also fired his gun during the struggle.
"It's a good thing they had a gun, or they might be dead," said Curtis Thompson, who lives next door to the couple, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Neighbors described the elderly couple, who both walk with canes, as pillars of the community in Garfield Park, where home invasions have been all too frequent.
Their neighbor, Shaquite Johnson, told MyFoxChicago that the two are "heroes" for fighting off the attacker — and that the shooting means there is "one less criminal" walking the streets.
"They don't bother no one, so why would anyone do that to them?" she said. ...........read more at FOXNews.com
From A Reader Email:
Cant tell you how I know this, but the dead home invader has an arrest
record going back to 1995, nearly 40 arrests, and an IDOC history that
should have kept him behind bars! He lived his entire non prison life
about 2 blocks from the victims.
Also the MAN WILL NOT BE CHARGED which basically is an admission by the Administration that they would 'get slaughtered' politically at least for taking that position in spite of the gun ban which will be overturned as was DC's ban which would allow this man to have the gun for protection in the home, the way the 'founders' intended when the wrote this thing called the 2nd amendment that Obama and Daley think is a disposable document.
Stay tuned because this blogger has long maintained the government has been protecting Obama throughout the process of taking down Tony Rezko and Rod Blagojevich.
Case in point?
How's this?
Redacted portion: Yet, despite President Obama stating that no
representatives of his had any part of any deals, labor union president
told the FBI and the United States Attorneys that he spoke to labor
union official on November 3, 2008 who received a phone message from
Obama that evening.
....In addition, Rezko has stated to the
government that he and the public official had certain conversations
about gaming legislation and administration, which the public official
denies having had."
This is in the Sun Times on the front of the website.....
Obama lied his ass off in these conversations and this proves it.
If he lied about little things you know he also does about the big things, of course all but his most devoted zombies are well aware Obama's the emperor with no clothes if there EVER WAS ONE in U.S. Politics, the "king of the bullsh*** ers hill" if you will.
If you've read here regularly you'd know I maintain that when all is said and done Obama will be taken down by his former friends, and that revealed statement above provided by local NBC news 5 and brought to my attention this morning our friend Dave D from the "CR Wisco posse" up north, goes a long way towards proving it.
And there's much more to find here which points right in this direction..
Redactions Revealed:
NBC Chicago:
"1. Obama may have lied about conversations with convicted fraudster
Tony Rezko Blagojevich's lawyers allege that Rezko admitted breaking
the law by contributing 'a large sum of cash' to a public official.
Blagojevich's attorneys say that public official is Obama. Obama said
that Rezko never relayed a request from a lobbyist to hold a fundraiser
in favor of favorable legislative action.
But the point may be moot:
regardless of Obama talking/not talking to Rezko, Blagojevich's
attorneys say that Obama refused the request regardless. Redacted
portion: However, the defense has a good faith belief that Mr. Rezko,
President Obama’s former friend, fund-raiser, and neighbor told the FBI
and the United States Attorneys a different story about President
Obama.
In a recent in camera proceeding, the government tendered a
three paragraph letter indicating that Rezko “has stated in interviews
with the government that he engaged in election law violations by
personally contributing a large sum of cash to the campaign of a public
official who is not Rod Blagojevich. … Further, the public official
denies being aware of cash contributions to his campaign by Rezko or
others and denies having conversations with Rezko related to cash
contributions. …
Rezko has also stated in interviews with the
government that he believed he transmitted a quid pro quo offer from a
lobbyist to the public official, whereby the lobbyist would hold a
fundraiser for the official in exchange for favorable official action,
but that the public official rejected the offer. The public official
denies any such conversation. In addition, Rezko has stated to the
government that he and the public official had certain conversations
about gaming legislation and administration, which the public official
denies having had."
They say Obama isn't accused of any wrongdoing in the Rod Blagojevich scandal they say..."Yet" is what I say and once this Blago fest gets underway don't be surprised when that all changes.
And that will be "When the walls come tumbling down" to take a phrase from John Cougar's extensive catalog. No one can tell me that Barack Obama and Richard Daley are the only "clean" politicians in the Illinois swamp full of scum....no one.
Vindication is right around the corner for we conservatives, just be patient. Obama's not on trial here, but he'll be a subject of interest that will grow like the fungus these dems are, and Blago sure wants the attention off of him during the upcoming trial.
So he'll be name dropping to keep those headlines interesting and to show "the Chicago machine" chewed him up and spit him out over the raising of Taxes, (which he predicted in his defense they would do in his absence, believe me they have)..... and Obama's part of that machine.
Here's some of the names we'll be hearing during the trials that you that Hannity and Glenn Beck viewers / listeners will be quite familiar with...
Obama himself, First Lady Michelle Obama, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett and two labor backers of Obama, Thomas Balanoff and Andy Stern.
"I swear to tell the truth about Obama, the whole truth, so help me G_ _ ,
well I'm a liberal, so just "so help me" will have to do.....I promise." lol
Blago atty: Obama as a witness would be 'awesome'
Yahoo! News: "CHICAGO – One of Rod Blagojevich's attorneys said Wednesday it was possible the defense could call President Obama to take the witness stand if the corruption charges against the former governor go to trial, but added that it wasn't clear that doing so would be necessary.
Defense attorney Samuel E. Adam said following a hearing in the case that it would be 'an awesome experience in any career' to question Obama, who is not accused of any wrongdoing but did answer questions from federal investigators.
Blagojevich is charged with scheming to sell or trade Obama's former U.S. Senate seat, campaign fundraising abuses and other offenses. He has denied wrongdoing.
Blagojevich attorneys have asked U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel to give them an early look at the government's evidence, including records of interviews with Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett and two labor backers of Obama, Thomas Balanoff and Andy Stern.
Zagel indicated he might rule on the request Jan. 27." continued
