• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Couldn't agree more...US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald should be cloned and multiplied throughout every state in the union.

The Illinois state capital. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

Having lived in northern Illinois for better than 99% of my life, I've come up with a few hard and fast rules:

1) Never trust a Chicago politician.
2) Never trust a Cook County politician.
3) Never trust an Illinois politician.
4) Government bureaucrats count as politicians.


I tend to live by these rules, but I always hope that the folks in office do their very best to earn my respect.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst!

You forgot one: never trust a lawyer :wiggle:
 
RE: Link to the State of Illinois' corruption

Here's a Time Mag. link to the historical, governmental corruption of Illinois. It goes waaaa-a-a-y back in time. This is just the tip of the iceberg on the graft, corruption, and racketeering that goes on in Chicago, Crook County, and Springfield.
Poor Abe Lincoln,...he'd be spinning in his grave right now if he knew the shenanigans that continually play out here in Illinois.
