Home of Splencner's Gadfly. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. A Profile in Cowardice. Have foot right up in mouths. Roland Burris offers to indirectly buy his Senate seat. The biggest coward of all is Senate majority leader Harry Reid. Reid, at first, utterly refused to seat anyone selected by scandal-ridden Governor Rod Blagojevich. Vacated Senate seat. It made sense to take this position. Blagojevich. Eventual selection as "unfair" and " regrettable. Though, was Reid's cowardice when Burris pushed his way into ...

Home of Splencner's Gadfly. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Democracy and freedom win the battle on Obamacare. I was very proud this week to watch President Obama stopped dead in his tracks as he tried to bully through his healthcare. Agenda as the next step in the "change" that he promised in 2008. What made me so proud was that he was stopped by democracy. The process actually worked. The collective voice of Americans saying "NOT SO FAST" was heard in D.C. loud and clear. Was about to no longer be an option.

Home of Splencner's Gadfly. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Madison, Tea Party? Reflections on Madison from a lazy parasitic civics teacher. I am a professional liar. Everyday I walk into my classes and for hours tell lies to my students. I tell. Them about the revolutionary vision. Of the founding fathers. I show them that we are a democratic republic, a country in which the will of the masses is carried out by elected representatives. I tell them the story of how democracy has expanded. Maybe my mistake w...

http://splencner.blogspot.com/2009/09/we-are-still-city-on-hill-thoughts-on.html
Home of Splencner's Gadfly. Monday, September 28, 2009. We are still a city on a hill. Thoughts on Obama's apologetic speech before the UN. What an audacious plan! Whether we like it or not, we are, as our president says so often, "citizens of the world." Our reaction to this should be to cry louder to the sleeping world to wake up and embrace freedom. We have a responsibility. We are linked with every nation on the planet. We proved this at Normandy and alongside the Berlin Wall. View my complete profile.

Home of Splencner's Gadfly. Sunday, February 20, 2011. Endorsements for 2011 municipal elections. Bring this into your local polling place and give me a few more votes. Chicago has become a kingdom or, more like one of those Caribbean kleptocracies. Maybe Mayor Daley has privatized important institutions left and right that were meant for the public good. He did so with no explanation and with. Brat Harold Washington said he would be and we pay for it in Chicago. We literally pay for it. He will put cops...

Home of Splencner's Gadfly. Saturday, July 4, 2009. Is knee deep in slime. Can Illinois set a new record? 5 governors in 40 years to prison. The people of Illinois are proud to be first among the states. No second city for us! We have the nation's tallest buildings and most storied architecture. We are home to the largest commodity market in the world. Our universities. You would think that the people would learn, but they keep doing the same thing. With the announcement. Governor on the way. People to s...

Home of Splencner's Gadfly. Monday, October 18, 2010. My reluctant endorsements for the 2010 elections. Bring this into your local polling place and give me a few more votes. Enjoy the informative links. Amending the Illinois Constitution. We already have a method to remove a governor. Who is no longer fit to serve. We used it to remove the indicted Rod Blagojevich successfully. Why change the Constitution to iunclude California-style recall? Mark Steven Kirk (R). And to call Kirk a liar over and over ag...
