-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Just like certain Democrats and RINOs call Republicans bigots, certain New York Muslim groups call infidels bigots. Tragically, when most people are called a bigot, they succumb to whoever calls them a bigot. Because I oppose race and gender based preference giving, my liberal Democrat GAO superiors, coworkers, and subordinates repeatedly constructively called me a bigot. Tragically, at least tragically for me, on September 30, 1997, I succumbed to them and took early retirement. Because they forced me to retire at least 6 years earlier than I would have otherwise, my federal pension is dramatically reduced for the rest of my life. I might very well still be working for GAO today if I was a minority, female, younger, liberal, Democrat, and/or veteran. Beyond outrageously, GAO's wasting me and wasting my career cost those who pay federal income tax many hundreds of thousands of dollars.)

-- Illegal immigrants down, but not in Illinois State's population stable despite national trend - Dahleen Glanton (DIERSEN: Beyond outrageously, far too many Illinois RINO candidates, Illinois RINO elected officials, and Illinois RINO party leaders refuse to defend, let alone advance, the immigration plank in the Illinois Republican Party platform.) http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-illinois-illegal-immigration-020100901,0,3473428.story(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois ranked No. 5 with an estimated 525,000 illegal immigrants in 2009, more than the approximately 475,000 in the state in 2008. The Pew analysts cautioned that their figures were based on a range of estimates, meaning that it is safer to say the Illinois illegal immigrant population was stable rather than to say it actually increased. Nationwide, the total number of illegal immigrants has declined by about 1 million since 2007, to 11.1 million in 2009, representing about 4 percent of the U.S. population. While Illinois has long been attractive to illegal immigrants, the population has fluctuated over the last two decades. Unlike many states that have experienced a clear peak and decline, Illinois grew from 200,000 to 475,000 from 1990 to 2000 and then dropped to 350,000 in 2005.)
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES-- SWEET: Giuliani to headline Mark Kirk fund-raiser WASHINGTON--Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani headlines a fund-raiser for Rep. Mark Kirk's Illinois Senate campaign Sept. 13 in Chicago. Giuliani, who ran for president in the 2008 GOP primaries, has stumped for Kirk before, appearing with him in his north suburban 10th congressional district in 2008 and for his 2010 Senate primary contest. The Kirk campaign thinks Giuliani will help draw in female suburban voters who will see Kirk in the Giuliani mold as a fiscal conservative, social moderate and national security hawk.

-- Demand fuels drug violence - Alejandro Escalona (DIERSEN: The Republican Party platform promotes the rule of law while the Democrat Party platform promotes moral relativism. The Libertarian Party platform calls for legalizing illegal drugs. If you use illegal drugs you reject the law, and therefore, you are not a Republican. So therefore, those who use illegal drugs are not Republicans.) http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/2665658,CST-EDT-escalona02.article
DAILY HERALD
-- Guidelines help keep letters to the editor lively, diverse and local - Jim Slusher (DIERSEN: I have send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails since 2000, and since at least January 1, 2005, I have not missed a single day. Since July of 2005, I have posted copies of those emails on www.gopillinois.com. Each and every one of those emails contains information and/or arguments that help Republicans defend and advance the Republican Party platform. When is the last time your Republican precinct committeeman, your Republican township/ward/county officers, your Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee member, Pat Brady, Demetra DeMonte, Rich Williamson, the Republican candidates who are seeking to represent you, the Republican elected officials who currently represent you, etc. sent out and email or posted something on a website that contained information and/or arguments that help Republicans defend and advance the Republican Party platform? http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=405170-- Kane County Board would replace state's attorney - Josh Stockinger http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=405142-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Sadly, Bruce R. Norquist of Wheaton argues that lower tax rates do not motive people to earn more.http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=405067&src= -- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Sadly, Royce M. Blackwell of Elgin argues that America should give citizens of Mexico even greater preference http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=404838&src= -- Job hunt futile if you don't speak Spanish I was laid off six months ago from a company that I worked at for five years. Before that I had a strong resume with lengthy stays at jobs. I am now 50 years old, and most jobs I apply for I don't have a chance at. No, not because I am 50, but because I do not speak Spanish. Most school districts want someone who can speak both English and Spanish, and so do most nonprofits. I just found a job that would be perfect for me in the nonprofit world but it says bilingual a must. And even when it says "preferred," I usually lose out to one who speaks both languages. So what is someone who is 50 to do? Go back to school and learn the language? What are my children who are in their 20s to do? Learn Spanish in order to succeed in their careers? Here is an idea: Why don't the people coming here learn to speak English? And if you don't want to then have an interpreter available when you are signing up at a school or a park district or at a state agency. Why should I have to learn a different language to survive in my own homeland? It is bad enough so many of us are laid off due to the economy but when this comes up as a hurdle it is just wrong. My grandfather came here from Italy and my grandma from Poland and they had to learn the languages in order to get jobs and services many years ago. I also know of some school districts that have special classes for those speaking Spanish but I know of a little Polish girl who hardly spoke English and she was put in a regular class. - Donna Reboletti, Addison

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER-- Good, bad and ‘interesting’ among D.C. delegation - Bernard Schoenburg http://www.sj-r.com/opinions/x863072240/Bernard-Schoenburg-Good-bad-and-interesting-among-D-C-delegation(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the House side, U.S. Rep. AARON SCHOCK, R-Peoria, who represents part of the Springfield area, was listed in four good categories and one interesting one. He’s third in the “rising star” list, behind Reps. PAUL RYAN, R-Wis., and DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, D-Fla. He’s the top male “hottie,” followed by Reps. MARTIN HEINRICH, D-N.M., and by Ryan and JEFF FLAKE, R-Ariz., who tied for third. Shock is also the No. 2 “gym rat,” following Ryan and before Flake; and is third in the “best dressed” category, behind Rep. DAVID DREIER, R-Calif., with Speaker NANCY PELOSI, D-Calif., in second. Schock probably doesn’t appreciate his final ranking — he was listed second among representatives “most likely to star in a scandal.” The first-place nominee was Rep. CHARLES RANGEL, D-N.Y., who is already facing ethics charges. There’s been no indication of any such problem with Schock. Dreier placed third. “Ethics charges sealed the deal for the New York Democrat,” the magazine said of Rangel, “but the ‘hot’ and single Schock was a close second.”)
SUBURBAN CHICAGO NEWS-- Pradel and Miller in mayoral race - Kathy Millen (DIERSEN: Miller has lived in Naperville only since 1995. My Wheaton critics demonize me and denigrate me as being a "newcomer" because I have lived in Wheaton only since 1978. They argue that I do not "understand" the "power structure" in Wheaton. Wheaton homebuilder Joe Keim has been building homes in Wheaton for over 50 years. Wheaton City Manager Don Rose is the longest serving city manager in all of DuPage County, if not in all of Illinois, if not in all of America, if not in all of the world. Dr. Robert Krzyzewski was born and raised in Wheaton.) http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/napervillesun/news/2664774,6_NA1_Pradel-and-Miller-in-mayoral-race.article

CHICAGO ARGUS-- There is a new tactic to try to get George Ryan out of prison – will it work? - Gregory Tejeda (DIERSEN: If the Democrats and RINOs succeed in getting Ryan out of prison, what will they do? Milton Township Republican Central Committee RINOs blame Ryan's problems on me and on everyone else who supported Pat O'Malley in the 2002 Republican gubernatorial primary. Will they attempt to censure me for causing Ryan's problems?) http://chicagoargus.blogspot.com/2010/09/there-is-new-tactic-to-try-to-get.html
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats and RINOs demonize and denigrate those who do not glorify and praise illegals. Statistics show that those who come into America illegally and/or stay in America illegally do so to "make money," not because they want to become citizens of America. What percent of illegals blame their problems on Americans and on America -- 85%?, 90%?, 95%? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703882304575465742670985642.html
WASHINGTON TIMES
WORLD NET DAILY-- Ann, we won't defend you this time - Floyd and Mary Beth Brownhttp://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=198221(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is an open secret inside the Beltway that the political operatives who run the RNC, act as media commentators and lead countless so-called "conservative" organizations in D.C. long ago surrendered in the culture war. Every four years there is a nasty internecine battle to keep issues like the sanctity of human life, the traditional definition of marriage and other issues dear to social conservatives in the Republican platform. The elites would just as soon Phyllis Schlafly and Jim Dobson go away. I, Floyd, serve on the Board of the American Conservative Union, and to my chagrin they, too, are getting sideways on these issues. Last year they embraced GOProud as a cosponsor of CPAC, the granddaddy of conservative conferences. CPAC's Lisa De Pasquale defended the group last year to Ed Morrissey of HotAir, saying: After talking with their leadership and reviewing their website, I am satisfied that they do not represent a "radical leftist agenda," as some have stated, and should not be rejected as a CPAC cosponsor. The movement I joined in 1976 when I accepted my membership in Young Americans for Freedom is vastly different than it is today. The strength of the Reagan coalition was its embrace of the millions of activists that were motivated to stand up for traditional values. The conservative movement switched from activism to institutionalism during the late 1980s and 1990s. Today, the activists are in a new movement, the tea-party movement. Conservative leaders are frantic to get at the front of this parade, but it is unlikely they will succeed. Americans want leaders who have courage. Republicans controlled Congress and the White House six of the Bush administration's eight years, and their failure to achieve any meaningful advance in the culture war, control spending, or rein in government is an important factor in their subsequent defeat. If the Republican leadership takes a similar course following electoral victories in 2010, they will likely experience electoral defeats in 2012 or 2014. Civilizations are successful in the long run if they reproduce their values in the next generation. On this scorecard, the conservative movement is failing. The next half decade is going to decide its success or failure. Running from social conservatism and the issues of marriage, family and life will only hasten its demise.)
REUTERS-- New York imams say Muslims are Americans, too - Daniel Trotta (DIERSEN: What do Muslims say to those who view Islam as being far more like a political party than a religion? What do Muslims say about the fact that many millions if not billions of Muslims across the world hate America and want to destroy America unless America converts to Islam? What do Muslims say about the fact that Muslims caused virtually all the American military deaths and injuries since September 11, 2001?)http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6806VC20100901
USA TODAY-- AS MEN CONTINUE TO FALL FURTHER BEHIND WOMEN: Young, single, childless women out-earn male counterparts - Paul Wiseman (DIERSEN: Democrats want each and every federal employee to be Democrat and preferably minority, female, and young.) http://www.usatoday.com/money/workplace/2010-09-01-single-women_N.htm(FROM THE ARTICLE: Education is the key: "Young women are going to college in droves," Reach Advisors reports. "Nearly three-quarters of girls who graduate from high school head to college, vs. two-thirds of the boys. But they don't stop there. Women are now 1.5 times more likely than men to graduate from college or earn advanced degrees." Armed with degrees, young women command higher salaries. The trend is especially apparent in cities where minority groups make up more than half the population. Among blacks and Hispanics, women are more than twice as likely as men to earn college degrees. Contributing to the shift: the "decimation of the manufacturing employment base," which has wiped out good-paying jobs for young men who didn't go to college, Reach Advisors notes. The increase in twentysomething women earning decent paychecks while skipping or delaying marriage and motherhood has big implications for society and for the economy. Reach Advisors says twentysomethings who put off marriage increasingly live at home with their parents, dashing the hopes of builders who had expected Generation Y to drive demand for apartments. Male-oriented businesses such as automakers and sporting goods companies will increasingly target women with cash to spend. "They don't need marriage as much," says Stephanie Coontz, who teaches history and family studies at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. "They're likely to be pickier, and they're likely to delay marriage." Coontz dismisses the notion that successful single women intimidate men and can't find husbands. They just marry later in life, she says. "One day, I'll get married and have kids. But I'm in no rush," says Rebecca Loveridge, 27, a Washington, D.C., magazine marketing director who also writes a restaurant blog. She likes dining out, attending concerts and checking out art galleries with her friends. "Now is the time to be single," she says.)
CHICAGO PRIDE-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Rick Garcia promotes homosexual activity, that is, Rick Garcia promotes the Democrat Party platform.http://chicago.gopride.com/news/interview.cfm/articleid/193684-- Equality Illinois pushes voter registration (DIERSEN: What percent of those who promote homosexual activity vote for candidates who promote homosexual activity -- 100%?, 100%?, 100%? If you have ever committed a homosexual act, those who promote homosexual activity will force you to work against those who do not promote homosexual activity. Because of that, it is fair to ask candidates, elected officials, party leaders, donors, etc. "Have you ever committed a homosexual act?") http://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/13028409
GOPUSA ILLINOIS
-- JULY 15, 2006 FLASHBACK: GIULIANI CAMPAIGNS FOR TOPINKA: The more planks in the Republican Party platform that candidates demonstrate they will defend and advance if elected, the more Republican those candidates are - Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com/(THE ARTICLE: The Republican Party platform is conservative and the Democrat Party platform is liberal. If you run as a Republican, you should advance the Republican Party platform. Sadly, according to Chicago Tribune political reporter Rick Pearson, at their July 11 press conference at Benedictine University in Lisle, Judy Baar Topinka said "There is nobody out there who is an arbiter of who is a Republican, who is not, what is a Republican, what is not, or where a Republican is in the spectrum of Republicanism historically." According to Pearson, Rudy Giuliani said "The Republican Party is a very big party. It's a very broad party. I think that Judy is absolutely right: Nobody gets to define it." According to Daily Herald staff writer Marni Pyke, Giuliani said "In New York, if you ask the New York Times, they'll say I'm the most conservative mayor in history." Your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, who by the way, also serves as an arbitrator for the National Association of Securities Dealers and for the Better Business Bureau and is a conservative and a strong supporter of the Republican Party platform, attended the press conference and he respectfully disagrees with Topinka's and Giuliani's arguments. A political party is defined by its platform. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that candidates demonstrate by their words and by their actions that they will defend and advance if elected, the more Republican those candidates are. The more effort that an elected official makes to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, the more Republican that official is. Ronald Reagan said that he did not leave the Democrat Party, that the Democrat Party left him. The 80 percent rule is attributed to him. Obviously, George Ryan failed the 80 percent rule and failed to meet all kinds of other rules for that matter, and sadly, Topinka and Giuliani seem to reject Reagan's 80 percent rule. They could have used their July 11 conference to argue that they meet the 80 percent rule. They could have identified planks in the Republican Party platform that they accept and said what they would do to advance those planks if elected. Sadly, the only plank they seemed to focus on was the emergency preparedness plank. Topinka said she does not worry about those who Pearson describes as "conservative critics." A "conservative" is someone who supports the Republican Party platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative -- it is pro-traditional marriage and anti-illegal immigration. Topinka was very happy that Giuliani said she would "be a really tough governor" -- she added "Never mess with momma." Maybe that helps explain why her handlers made an outrageous last minute attempt to bar me from attending the conference. Many thanks to Andy Shaw and to everyone else at the conference who succeeded in thwarting that outrageous attempt. That attempt did not show Topinka's toughness -- it showed disrespect for the Republican Party platform and for Republicans, like me, who want to help elect candidates who will defend and advance the Republican Party platform. Also, many thanks again those who attended the June 29 Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) annual convention in Wheaton and helped thwart John McNeal's similar outrageous last minute attempt to censure me for my work as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. Sadly, back in January of 2005, Topinka's handlers succeeded in baring me from McKenna's press conference when he was elected to serve as the Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party. Sadly, they also succeeded in baring me from Mehlman's recent press conference for Roskam. But no attempts by them to bar me from press conferences and no attempts by McNeal and his supporters to censure me will discourage me from serving as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor or from helping elect candidates who will advance the Republican platform. Sadly, Topinka and McNeal and their handlers have not indicated that they are going to stop their efforts to stop me from serving as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that candidates demonstrate by their words and by their actions that they will defend and advance if elected, the more motivated that GOPUSA Illinois will be to help elect them. Sadly, if an elected official or candidate does not want GOPUSA Illinois' support, it must mean that they do not intend to defend or advance the Republican Party platform.) |
