Welcome to the Berwyn GOP. This organization was created following the Mid-Term general election of 2010. After a bruising campaign cycle this year, all efforts to work in cooperation with the Berwyn Township Regular Republican Organization ceased. In every election since the 2006 primary, the "Regular" Republican Committeman filed non-participation reports with the State of Illinois Board of Elections. This new organization will participate in and work every partisan election, as it should.

We are no strangers to working elections.  Since 2006, almost every sign you saw supporting Republican candidates along the avenues of Berwyn, or at the polling place on election day morning, were attributable to our efforts. Also, since 2006, almost every piece of literature you had dropped at your home were virtue of our efforts. It was our small handful of volunteers that introduced the plastic doorknob bags some of you may be familiar with. Moreover, we did this at our own expense. We were not reimbursed by any candidate or committee. We did this because we believed in having a Republican presence in an otherwise "Blue" Township.

Join us in acheving this goal.  We cannot succeed if everyone sits at home and hopes and waits someone else will do the work that needs to be done.  Relying on others is just not enough if we are to effect the changes we are hoping for.

There are 1937 precincts in suburban Cook County. That does NOT include the city of Chicago. To sum up election results, Quinn won by 10 votes per every suburban precinct....19,000+ votes. So non-participation is NOT an option.

Over the next 2 years, we will pressure the Republican party leadership into targeting township and precinct committeemen that do not do not fulfill the roles to which they were elected or appointed. Would Mike Madigan or Rich Daley ever tolerate committeemen who sit out elections? Of course not. They would be ousted and ostracized.

I am a Golf addict.  Problem is there no methadone to quell the withdrawal pains of not being on a course.  Chicago is no golf mecca.  Greens covered with snow or frozen soil does not lend me solace in trying to perfect the most demanding sport I've ever experienced, bar none.  Baseball, guard the third base line, play the ball in front of you, and through accurately to first base.  Football, your head has to be on a swivel.  Respect your lanes, honor your assignments, and you "might" be succesful.  But at all times maintain your balance (hips low, knees and ankles flexible).

That said, the following guy is my favorite golfer, bar none.  I'll explain why later.  For now, enjoy swing perfection:

We all know the political infrastructure in countries like Cuba, China, and Venezuela leave alot to be desired.  Although they all profess to promote some type of equality across all socio-economic strata, the reality for all is that those who are part of the totalitarian governments are the ones with resources, or access to resources.  All others are, what we would define in our country as, poor.  There is no middle class.

Is our country that much better?  If your answer is yes, then you must believe people in the middle class are better off than those barely making minimum wage, correct?  Well, the following article will open your eyes as to the effects of how liberal policies have leveled the playing field.  The policies are those that always go under the radar, those issues many of you are just "too busy" to pay attention to.  After all, you mid class peeps have demanding jobs, kids, and other obligations that just makes it "too cumbersome" to pay attention to politics, and hence you make your vote based on a 30 second blip that occurs in the middle of what's really important to you, such as Oprah, Dancing With The Stars, or American Idol.

Well, look at the following and see how you're getting screwed:

In recent days, the Obama administration simultaneously increased threats to our national security and cost our economy millions of jobs and trillions in GDP.  First, it decided to cede control of one our scarce uranium mines to Russia.  I guess Putin is promising the uranium harvested will not be used to develop nuclear weapons.  http://ncaabbs.com/showthread.php?tid=467186

In yet another brilliant decision, the Obama administration imposed a 7 year ban on drilling for oil on the Eastern Gulf of Mexico. http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/12/01/obama.gulf.drilling/ 
The administration cited the BP oil spill crisis as the reason for its decision.  Yes, the same crisis the administration prolonged by not doing anything for nearly a month, and then allowing entry into the Gulf of vessels from other countries offering assistance in the clean up.  Department of Interior Secretary cites the BP oils spill as "one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history."  Question is, where is the oil now, and why haven't we heard of all the lingering after effects?  That is, except for the lingering unemployment in the Southeastern United States where many depended on oil industry.  Economist Joseph Mason estimates the Obama decision to ban drilling will cost the country millions of jobs, and trillions in lost GDP.http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/20101202/pl_usnw/DC11036

As a golf addict, I came across the following article. It depicts how someone born a man, had a career as a police officer, suddenly decided he wanted to be a woman.  But it doesn't end there, as he also decided he ,or he/she, is entitled to play in LPGA (Ladies Pro Golfers Association) tournaments.  Why?  Because he/she feels it is his/her right!

Even in an age of "political correctness", how is it politically correct that an individual born with testes (which produce testosterone, a critical component of both muscle and bone mass growth) can be allowed to suddenly decide he wants to compete in an athletic arena reserved for women?   And how absurd is it for the LPGA to cave in to the wants and desires of one individual, when it's charter dictates a fiduciary duty to a all the rest of the "true" gendered women golfers.  How does the LPGA decide that they have to cowtow to one whose gender is at least a question, while ignoring 99.9% of it's membership that are, in fact, women.

This is a shameful cave-in by the LPGA.  Where does it stop?  Allowing a 50+ year transgender is one thing.  But if that decision opens the door to teen transgendersr, 20 year old transgenders, 30 year

 old transgenders...etc. All of a sudden thoe stats will start to skew, and decidedly in favor of former dudes and against real women.  You just cannot fight genetics and hormonal advantages when men who were born men compete against women  who were born women.

Why the fuss?  Golf is quite a unique sport for women, wherein many juvenile athletes pursaue the sport as a way to gain scholarship opportunities to major universities, opportunities usually set aside for men ompeting in major sports such as football, basketball, and baseball.  Outside the aforementioned money sports, the scholarships available to all individuals is quite limited, and this fact is especially true for women athletes.  The revenue afforded women sports just does not compare.  So to allow a redefining of what constitutes a "woman" based on one rogue plaintiff's desires is tantamount to shifting the entire structure of a sport that effects women athletes from junior to professional level. 

The LPGA's decision cannot stand unchallenged,  What is next?   The author of this posting all of a sudden decides he wants unrestricted access to competition and, more importantly, shower rights to the women's figure skating team?

As Ralph Kramden would say....Hardy, Har, Har

Now, per Fed Government regulation (not a new law passed by Congress), every city in America will have to change its street signs.   By reugulatory fiat (the new way Obama will rule), there is no federal reimbursement of costs associated with the new promulgation.  So expect your local property tax bills to go up.

Once again, how do we tolerate bureaucrats dictating to our local governments how to run their own roads and highways.  How do we tolerate an appointed (NOT ELECTED) bureaucratic Tsar imposing expenditures on local governments, when most local governments are are already on the brink of bankruptcy??  This is insane.  And those who vote for those that are proponents of these policies, need to be quarantined. 

Like I said, liberty is lost in not one great act, but in increments imposed for our our "health, welfare, and safety".

During the brief tenure of our President elect, we have seen some disturbing trends in Democrat attempts to limit free speech. First, the Obama administration sought a way to silence contrarian talk radio by implementing new FCC rules. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=31802  That effort was followed by Obama trying to find a legislative method of countering the Supreme Court's striking down a law that limited campaign spending by corporations, with no equal limit of unions..ESPECIALLY government emplyee unions.  Enter the "Disclose Act" which almost passed this year.  The act was specifically targeted at exposing corporate donors, while simultaneously hiding union donors. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/23/AR2010092304578.html?hpid=moreheadlines  Now the latest.  There is a move afoot to implement "Net Neutrality".  What does this mean?  That, if implemented, you would not have the same access to sites like Pajama Media, Fox News, and other conservative internet sites.  http://spectator.org/archives/2010/11/24/seizing-the-internet

Never before have I witnessed ANY presidential administration make such bold moves to silence criticism and opposition.  Reagan did not do it. Clinton did not do it.  Bush (Sr. and Jr.) sis not do it.  These acts are unprecendted, unless of course, we compare them to the reign of Hugo Chavez, the Red Chinese, or Cuba.

Remember folks, liberty is rarely lost as a culmination of one big event or act.  It is most often lost as a culmination of dozens or hundreds of little steps.  We are seeing those little steps being taken like a game of leap frog where the ultimate loser will be YOU.

You need to stay focused and you need to pay attention.  Otherwise, when you wake from your dormant stupor you might find the world you face much different than the one you remembered.

Let me get this straight. 3 of our own have been detained by Iran and accused of espionage since 2009. Essentially, hikers that crossed into Iranian territory. Yet, where is OUR government on securing their release??

Yes, I see some videos of Hillary promising American action. But to date, no news agency, no White House press release, no Congressional act, has addressed the problem.

We await the actions of a zealot bent on developing nuclear weapons, who has already vowed to take out the Jewish state. So, where are we in terms of showing the almighty American force?? Nowhere.

These hostages are essentially children from our own sovereign. They are now subject to the ultimate penalty, DEATH. Yet, our press, media, and Government do nothing.

What would Reagan/Bush do?

Today, I heard the following speech in its entirety for the first time.  Yes, I had heard bits and pieces played by radio pundits before.  However, hearing the entire context brought upon me an eerie feeling that the passage of  Obamacare was worse than what we perceive.

Some key points in the speech are:

* In 1927, Norman Thomas, a leader of the American Socialist Party encouraged changing labels of Socialism to Liberalism.  He acknowledged that anything labeled Socialist would never be accepted by the American electorate, but labeling it as "Liberal" would ensure that American society would accept it.  Let's not forget that the new term is "Progressive".

* The speech was delivered in 1961, just about a half century ago.  Think about that.  Almost 50 years ago.   Yet the same issues, the same player (UAW) are key today.

*  In 1961, according to Reagan, the federal government was involved in or controlling almost 20% of the GDP of the nation.  What has changed?  USA owns GM, Chrysler, AIG, and various other institutions.  The UAW is well and good thanks to Obama's takeover of GM and Chrysler.

*Using healthcare was a tool to let the G gain a foot in the doorway to bully their way in and take control of many other aspects of our lives.

*VERY IMPORTANT:  Create a national emergency/crisis where NONE exists.  That is exactly what Obama did.  Describe the health care issue as a life or death issue, then slam it down our throats.  What did Emmanuel Say:  Never let a crisis go to waste...

I'll let you decide on your own:

Fresh off a close election, Governor elect Pat Quinn tried to veto legislation that would create the "Sunshine" Commission.  The Sunshine Commision, consisting of 2 legislators from each party and 4 citizen members, would review every state program for effectiveness, efficiency, and duplicity.  Quinn tried to change the legislation via amendatory veto, wherein he tried to make the commission consist of 4 of his appointees.  Quinn's amendatory veto was overriden by more than two thirds of the General Assembly.  All Republicans voted for overriding Quinn, while 22 Democrats sided with Quinn.  

Once again, a candidate who runs on a campaign boasting new transparecy and elimination of government waste fails to live up to promise the first chance he gets.  The following is the link to the full article in Illinois Review:  http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2010/11/sunshine-commission-likely-to-break-through-legislative-clouds.html#more

Is George Bush the United States president that was most maligned by the left?  I must admit that I did not pay close attention to politics until the late 70's/early 80's.  I will futher admit that I feared Reagan as president during the 70's.  I was brainwashed by my educators that Reagan was going to start a nuclear war with the Soviet Union.

Albeit, the left did attack Reagan.  Reagan (using the 20/20 vision of hindsight) was a masterful tactican in using his rhetorical skills to build public pressure against the left Congress and institutions and get his policies passed.  Bush lacked that ability.

And yes, because of his inablity to harness negative rhetoric, he was forced to cave in to the spending pleasures or the Caligula Congress in order to get funding for the troops overseas.  That, ultimately, was his greatest fault.

That said, I will not join the chorus in labeling George W. Bush as a bad president.  Let's not forget that only a few months into his first year as president, the United States was subject to acts of terrorism and war within its own sovereign boundaries.  Blame Bush?  Idiotic.  The terrorist cells had been developing for almost a decade under Bill Clinton's administration.  The 9/11 terrorists did not arrive here in 2001.  They were here for quite a while and allowed to take flying lessons on our own soil, case out airport security, and do whatever they needed to do to plan out such a bold endeavor.

IMHO, I tend to judge people by what they do and how they react in times of great crisis.  And the 9/11 attacks culminated in the worst crisis I had ever faced....attacked on our own soil, more than 3,000 dead in one blow, and hundreds of others saved by some brave souls that forced a hijacked plane to crash in rural Pennsylvania in the greatest gift of self-sacrifice, their lives.

So how are civilian trials working out?  Obama, and his basketball buddy friend, Eric Holder, whom Obama appointed Attorney General of these UNITED States, seemed to have FKD up on their decision to prosecute a terrorist enemy combatants in civilian courts rather than in military courts (as has been the practice from the time the nation was founded until Obama).

Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was acquitted on 279 of 280 counts in a trial held in a New York civilian court before United States District Court Judge Kaplan.  Why the acquittal?  Oh, only because once civilian laws were applied, as opposed to military tribunal laws, the bulk of the evidence against the POS (Piece of Sh&t) was ruled inadmissable on 4th Amendment grounds.

Now, do your own research into the Constitution and the 4th Amenment.  As an attorney I can promise you that that Amendment starts off with language that protects "citizens".  Not enemy combatants invloved in terrorist acts against our sovereign interests, domestic or foreign.  HUNDREDS of people were killed in the bombings against our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

But the POS was acquitted on murder charges, but found guilty of ONE count of damage to property.  Justice is served via Obama and Holder.  Here is the full story:

There a number of positions up for election for school and park boards in Berwyn.  So if any of you fellow Berwyn conservatives is interested in running for one of these offices, send me an email.  I have the voter data sources and campaign management tools you will need to undertake such an endeavor.  As an attorney, I can insure your nominating petitions conform to the law.

There are 23K + voters registered in Berwyn.  This past election, 986 voters voted Republian in the primary and 2800+ voters voted Republican in the General election. 

Looking at the data, there are about 2000 solid Republicans in Berwyn.  Out of that group. I am willing to bet that less than 1% willing to respond to being part of a new Republican organization.  So about 200. 

Here is the skinny.  It would take 2000 mailers to try to build an organization of 50 to 100 peeps.  That's just the way it is.  So we need to raise $1000 to do a 2000 voter mailer. 

Please help.

We cannot do it all without you.

Tomorrow, I will NOT be eating turkey, nor stuffing, nor other traditional goodies.  Why?  Because I will travel to McHenry County to spend Thanksgiving in a rather BLUE household.  That said, they opt out of  eating turkey because "they are such colorful birds".  Instead I will eat ham, NOT kosher, but I need to get protien in terms of 100 grams per 1 lb of lean body weight, while I am not very lean. 

So...FKT...I'll pop some methyl 1AD and leave it at that.  By the next cycle I'll be ripping 8 discs on  a deadlift.

Now, at the top of the right hand bar, you can engage in chat anytime you desire.  Once again, I am trying to provide with a website that will inform you, educate you, and in some ways, entertain you.  But, to reach those goals, I need your feedback and input.  I cannot improve on the faults you choose not to identify.

Take a close look at this gentleman.  He led our Republican party in Illinois until he decided to announce his resignation at the Illinois State Fair Republican day on August 20, 2009.  During his tenure, we had no REAL candidate aginst DICK (Town Hall Meeting Dodging) Durbin.  Madigan has increased his majority in the House and Senate AT WILL.  He resigned stating he had a record of raising funds and "developing a grass roots ground game"???    What Ground Game????  

This comes from the same idiot that used GOP funds to finance a poll for governor where his name just happened to be one of the candidates.  28 thousand dollars never approved by the state central committemen.  At the time of his resignation, he stated he was not running for office.  Yet a few months later, there he is, running for governor.

I just found this article doing some research.  I do not know the author, so I am in no way validating his claims.  However, somethings can empirically be determined to be true.  For one, it is true that there were no Republican candidates for judge this past election. 
I feel the need to point your attention to it here, as I will not cloak our party leaders by posting only favorable information.  If we are to grow in strength and numbers, it is essential we deal with the negative head on.  It is not our yoke to insulate others, but rather our duty to start a process of internal cleansing of what is wrong and fortifying what is RIGHT.

I guess that would be true if, and only if, that question was dissected and researched enough where eventually anyone with a single functioning neural cell would conclude Democrats only care about minorities as far as their tally of votes on election day.  Let us look at the Democrat record with African-Americans.  Before the "great" social programs, the out-of-wedlock birthrate amongst African-Americans was below 30%.  Now, it is well over 70%.  12% of the American population is African-American, yet over 50% of the population in American jails are African-American.  This is no surprise, as the biggest single factor in predicting criminal behavior is the absence of a father figure.  Are African-Americans concentrated in metropolitan areas like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia better off today after nearly a half century of total Democrat control?? 

Yet, they almost always vote 90% + for whatever Democratic candidate is on the ticket.  Why?  Simple answer:  They are now subservient to a new master...the Government.  The plantation owner has been supplanted by the G as far as providing food, housing, education, health care, and other perks paid from funds confiscated from another citizen's pocket.  This is the same plan Democrats have for Hispanics.  Give them amnesty, offer them free government programs...etc..!  But if one looks at the Hispanic "hoods", what do you find?  Spanish Harlem is still Spanish Harlem, East L.A. is still East L.A., Little Village and Pilsen remain the same.  Crime riddled, graffiti vandalized neighborhoods where voter participation still remains lowest on radar; Hispanics boast the highest drop-out rates nationwide; single mom households are on the rise; and, Hispanic dependence on government grows day by day.  Nice job of leading us to new heights Democrats!!!
