Illinois Senate Race Mystery: Who is Sean Conlon and what connection does he have to Alexi Giannoulias?
Sean Conlon is a 41 year old real estate mogul here in Chicago, who founded Sussex & Reilly Real Estate.
Tonight, someone told us there’s an “interesting connection” between Conlon and Alexi Giannoulias. “It’s worth checking out and looking into”.
We’d never heard of Conlon before tonight, but Giannoulias has a great many “interesting connections”.
What can we find linking the two, and what have they gotten up to together?
Are they possibly basketball buddies, the way the current president and Giannoulias were basketball buddies?
Who is Sean Conlon and what connection does he have to Alexi Giannoulias, and possibly to the mob’s bank, Broadway Bank?
Democrats are dead wrong about the next large-scale terrorist attack on US soil
It seems Democrats, reaching as high as the White House, believe a large-scale terrorist attack on US soil will do for the current president’s approval ratings what the 9/11 attacks did for George W. Bush (where his approval rocketed to 90% as Americans rallied around the flag, came together, and gave Bush their undivided support, regardless of how they felt about the man on 9/10/01).
When the next large-scale attack on the US happens, on Dr. Utopia’s watch, Democrats seem to think he will, like Bush, benefit from this event politically.
Perhaps that’s why Democrats like Janet Napolitano think “the system works” so well, when it allows Muslims to come within seconds of downing civilian aircraft. The only way the “system works” is if the system’s allowing these sorts of things to happen, for whatever reason. Maybe it’s the Leftists’ PC police who think the “system works” because Muslims aren’t being profiled, and are thus allowed to come so close to murdering hundreds. Maybe it’s the White House itself that thinks the “system works”, because Rahm Emanuel has plans in place to take full advantage, politically, of the next terrorist attack. For Emanuel to put his plans in place, he just needs an attack to happen. Either through incompetence or gross neglect of their duties, Democrats seem to be doing everything possible to leave this country open to a catastrophic attack.
But, we think they are dead wrong about the response the American people will deliver to the next Muslim assault on America.
9/11 was a shock to the system. Nothing like that ever happened before. Pearl Harbor, the closest example of anything even remotely similar, happened so far away from the mainland. 9/11 happened in NEW YORK. On our East Coast. Too, too close to home for many people.
They were shocked. They couldn’t believe it happened. Their worlds changed.
In that shock, they were more malleable than they will ever be again. President Bush rose to the challenge of the moment, stood strong, and became the leader we needed at that moment in time. So, Americans supported him, like never before.
We don’t believe this will be the case again, and it’s not only because we don’t think Dr. Utopia has it in him to lead this nation the way Bush did. Utopia will not head to the ruins with a bullhorn and vow to strike back. He will dither and wither, and professorially list all the many reasons why Islam is the Religion of Peace and America is the Great Satan deserving of whatever attack we received. Bush proved what he was made of on 9/11, and it was good stuff. Dr. Utopia will prove what he’s made of some day too, and we bet it’s not going to be much good for anyone…least of all Democrats.
We think a large-scale terrorist attack on US soil on Dr. Utopia’s watch will deliver an unprecedented backlash against this White House, the MSM, and the Democrat Party…the likes of which all three of them might not be able to recover from. If Bush’s approval rose 40 points after 9/11, Utopia’s will drop 40 points when his administration fails to prevent what so many can clearly see is coming.
Muslims have been actively targeting the US with renewed vigor in recent months. Something’s up. We think the airline attacks are misdirection. The poisoning scheme at Ft. Jackson that’s been revealed, and the attack at Ft. Hood before that, seem to be the REAL direction Muslims are taking: they are going to kill a large number of US troops at a base somewhere stateside, hitting the American military where it should be safest and least vulnerable.
We believe their intent is to paint the US military as paper tigers abroad…to embolden Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq to fight harder against US troops…since if these men and women can so easily be taken out on US bases, just imagine how vulnerable they really are when out in the field.
That’s what we think these attacks on US bases stateside are leading up to…since the number one goal of terrorists isn’t the destruction of a particular place, but the PR value that act will give them in Gaza, with Hamas, Hezbollah, and all the many smiles the act will birth on all the royal faces in Saudi Arabia.
Dr. Utopia is a deliberately weak US president. He cares more about apologizing for US exceptionalism than he does defending US interests.
Bush was a cowboy with a take no prisoners approach to life that many people didn’t much appreciate before 9/11 (and we, ourselves, didn’t appreciate at all until he was out of office).
Like Bush before him, a massive terrorist attack on the US will wake Americans up to the image they have already formed of the president: in Bush’s case, his cowboy bearing and take no prisoners Don’t Mess With Texas bravado was just what people wanted and needed when we were hit.
We believe Americans will have the EXACT opposite reaction to Dr. Utopia in the wake of an attack on his watch.
Millions will realize just how deep the consequences of Election 2008 really run.
If Democrats think the system is working so well, and are possibly looking forward to approval bumps they think they can get when something unspeakable happens, we think they’re dead wrong and in for the surprise of their lives when America firmly, and perhaps permanently, turns against them once and for all.
Question: Has the Democrats' Civil War already begun?
We fully expect the Democrat Party to essentially collapse some time after the November elections, with all-out war declared on the Leftists who took over the party in 2008.
The losses come November will be “unprecedented”, to borrow the current president’s favorite word (perhaps, like his books, also written for him by William Ayers).
Democrats love playing the blame game.
Democrat donors, who have given millions to the DNC, won’t love getting so little for their massive infusions of cash. Many wealthy people bet the farm on Dr. Utopia and the delusion his Liberal takeover of the Democrat Party would bring great riches to all of them, and the fruition of many insane dreams these rich loons have been nursing since their Ivy League dreamer days under the indoctrination of their bearded Lefty professors.
The MSM will suffer a major backlash, for having pushed the Utopia agenda and his takeover of the party. They promised “30 years of Democrat hegemony”, and many fools in the party believed them. Rich fools, who ponied up plenty of cash for what in 2010 will be major losing efforts.
There’s going to be Hell to pay.
The Centrists in the party, driven underground now, have been as quiet as the Democrat conservatives (who often seem rarer than unicorns). But, both parties have moderates, conservatives, and liberals. People tend to forget there are liberal Republicans, just as many ignore the conservative Democrats.
Essentially, that’s what we are, we realize…though the DNC has almost pushed us out of the party completely, to the point where we’re practically Independents.
Serious losses in 2010 under the Leftist agenda will cause the conservatives and moderates who still love the Party to step up and work to oust the radicals who have driven the Democrats to ruin. We see the prep getting ready for this…but have always thought it would take the actual losses in November for moves to be made against the current DNC.
Maybe this Civil War has already begun…and Evan Bayh’s retirement will ultimately be seen as the opening volley and first shot fired.
This act by Bayh is being called a vote of no confidence in Dr. Utopia and his radicals.
We see it for what it really is — Bayh wanting to get out of the Senate before he is defeated, and before he has to rack up any more crazy votes that will doom his future presidential intentions. We have news for Bayh — his December 24th, 2009 vote for the despicable Healthcare Rationing bill already prevents him from ever being president or vice president. If we have anything to say about it…and we sure as Hell plan to.
What do you think?
Do you think the Civil War in the DNC has already started…or do you think, as we did, that the Civil War won’t really start for Democrats until the “unprecedented” losses in November?
What do you think is to come?
Religion of Peace at it again: Muslims try to poison food supply at Ft. Jackson
Let’s recap something we don’t quite understand: many people say gays and lesbians should not be allowed to openly serve in the military because they would endanger the spirit and cohesiveness of units.
But the military has no problems with militant Muslim soldiers, as evidenced by the Ft. Hood shootings, committed by an openly militant Muslim who telegraphed his actions months in advance…but was not prevented from committing his terrorist acts because of the PC structure the military engages in.
Today, it’s learned more Muslims at Ft. Jackson were arrested in December for trying to poison the food supply at the Army’s largest training center…where they could have possibly killed thousands of our soldiers.
Gays in the military = a danger to units?
Muslims in the military = actively trying to murder their fellow soldiers while praising Allah…but that’s not a danger to units?
Maybe, MAYBE, some gay soldier down the line might try to date another soldier, or could possibly buy him a satiric card with a pun or two in it, heavy on the double entendre, or could bore his fellow soldiers with too much recounting of Project Runway’s latest episode. MAYBE.
Poisoning their food supply?
Nope.
Going on a rampage like at Ft. Hood.
Not a chance.
That’s much more the style of the Religion of Peace than it is anyone we’ve ever known in Boystown.
Supreme Court Intrigue
We don’t believe it’s possible for someone who has never been a judge to be successfully nominated and appointed to the Supreme Court.
People forget that William Howard Taft, who became Chief Justice of the SCOTUS, had previously served as a Judge on the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (he was Solicitor General, Civilian Governor of the Philippines, Governor of Cuba, and Secretary of War, though most people sadly remember him only as being so large a special bathtub had to be installed at the White House…our public school system at work, people).
Taft is the only former president to have also served on the Supreme Court.
We do not believe it’s possible for Dr. Utopia to appoint either Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton to the Supreme Court, nor do we believe either of them want to go there.
We don’t believe it’s possible, as some articles are suggesting, that Dr. Utopia is already bored with the White House and wants to appoint himself to the SCOTUS when Justice Stevens dies or resigns, either of which could happen this year.
The hue and cry that would erupt over an action like this would make the Harriet Miers appointment look sensible and well-received.
Dr. Utopia isn’t qualified to be president, though voters disagreed and put him where he is now. He’s certainly not qualified to be a SCOTUS Justice, and voters will NOT have a say in that process, meaning no matter what the MSM wants, there are enough votes in the Senate today to prevent Utopia from getting his way on something like this. There is jut no argument that can be made for appointing someone who has never served as a Judge onto the Court.
We aren’t SCOTUS historians, but doing cursory research on the subject we don’t see any Justices who did not previously serve as Judges first…please correct us if we’re wrong on that. Certainly not in modern times. We believe this is what prevented Alberto Gonzalez, a personal friend of George W. Bush, from being appointed to the SCOTUS as the first Hispanic judge instead of Bush’s appointment of either Alito or Roberts. Bush probably wanted that historic “first” so Democrats could not have taken it (with the “wise Latina” they found), but he for whatever reason didn’t think Gonzalez would pass confirmation…certainly not after Miers.
A lot of bizarre things have happened in the political world the last few years, but we can’t imagine a scenario that puts Dr. Utopia on the SCOTUS. Ever.
When he’s defeated (or chooses not to run again) in 2012, he’ll head off to a Nixonian/Carteresque exile in Hawaii, and then will make a fortune delivering speeches in San Francisco, at NYU, at Harvard, and in the Muslim world, where he’ll someday probably pocket $5-10 million for appearances at various sheiks birthday parties, where he’ll deliver speech after speech on what a horrible country America is and how Islam is the Religion of Peace. Various pop stars and actors head to the Middle East all the time to perform as clowns for wealthy Muslims who enjoy having Westerners act as pets in their various spectacles. Dr. Utopia will fit right in. We can already picture him in a receiving line, bowing and scraping before all who enter, smiling ear to ear thinking about not only how much money he’s making doing it, but how much he really LOVES IT. The act of bowing and scraping itself, not the money. He could easily make plenty of money with William Ayers ghost writing more books for him…but these performances will be about much more than that. He will, until his Parkinsons gets so bad he can’t perform anymore, extend his global “America’s Bad” apology tour to every dictatorship and anti-Western venue he can find, having himself photographed as a former US president, arm around the nation’s worst enemies, doing whatever propaganda he can to harm American interests at home and abroad.
That’s what we believe the current president really wants to be doing.
Not just in 2013, but it’s what he wants to be doing NOW, and is peeved he can’t engage in this behavior more, at present. Here and there, he slips a bow in, and says things like America should be just one of 190 countries, and how much America needs to respect Islam. If we’re not mistaken, he’s also called the United States a Muslim country before. Though the MSM has embargoed them from ever telling their stories, people who knew him in college describe him as a hardcore Marxist. We believe that’s who he really is, and his post-presidency, where he has nothing at all to lose and won’t ever run for elected office again, is also where the mask will no longer slip, but be removed completely.
If you thought Jimmy Carter embarrasses the nation and makes a fool of himself, just wait until Carter-Too follows in his footsteps come January 2013. By then, Carter himself will be buried in Atlanta at his Carter Center, and the “America’s Bad” roadshow will belong squarely to Utopia.
As for the SCOTUS, we’re still hoping Ann Claire Williams from Chicago makes it to the Court, with another woman appointed to fill the second expected vacancy, bringing the total of women on the Court to three (including the “wise Latina”).
The next two SCOTUS Justices will be judges.
We don’t see any way Utopia can successfully nominate and have appointed anyone who is not a Judge, or who has never been a judge.
That eliminates Biden and Clinton and a host of others suggested for the SCOTUS.
With this White House, it’s true no one knows what they will pull next, but we just don’t think they would make a Harriet Miers-grade mistake and risk having a potential nominee raked over coals while the administration fumbles and bumbles trying to find a way, any way at all, to convince the American people it wasn’t a colossal mistake to appoint that person.
We think Dr. Utopia will want a slam-dunk easy confirmation, with someone who is liberal and Chicago-connected but is not an insane person…someone who would also be “historic” and “unprecedented” as a nominee…and that someone, we think, is Ann Claire Williams (who would be the unprecedented first female black Justice).
After her, maybe an Asian woman, so Utopia can be “unprecedented” some more with the double whammy of reaching 3 women on the Court while appointing the first Asian.
Research Project: The History of the Race Industry
Last night, we talked with a friend who is completing his thesis for his Masters. The guy’s long-winded and quite full of himself, so we weren’t listening too much to what he was saying, but tried to be polite. We’re happy for anyone who accomplishes anything, even if it’s a Masters in 19th Century Underwater Basket Weaving from one of the liberal small colleges here in Chicago.
His topic was something like The Cultural Significance and History of the Use of Metaphor In What Can Be Considered the Neo-Enlightenment of the Early 19th Century.
Nonsense.
As he was rambling, and trying to use as many polysyllabic words as possible, we thought about how many thesises are written every year that are complete wastes of time like this, regurgitated whatever useless nonsense and conjecture Liberal professors love reading, and no doubt giving very high marks for. Since Liberals control the professional student trade, and sit in Ivory Towers at universities across the country, the only scholarship that’s engaged in is of the Liberal bent.
Where is a thesis that strikes out against the Left?
There are a lot of things we would love to see this site evolve into, as we grow and gain better time management skills and learn to really FOCUS. We’re all amateurs here, but we keep writing because we see there’s a real need out there for people to FOCUS on taking down the Left. Moderates, independents, and conservatives have real jobs and commitments that don’t allow us to spend years working on a “thesis” on Underwater Basket Weaving. We are not as indulged, pampered, and breastfed by academia.
Has there ever been a history done on the American Race Industry and its use of RAAACISM! as an attack weapon against anyone and anything the Left wants brought down, for whatever reason? Has “eminent Harvard professor” Henry Gates ever written about the black community’s use as hired thugs shouting RAAACISM! whenever the Left wants one of its opponents removed? Do black people know how the Democrats use them for this thuggery, without ever really giving them anything in return?
We’ve never seen a timeline of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Henry Gates’ activities, listing all of the protests they have staged, all the people they have collectively called RAAACISTS, and who all of their affiliate race-baiters are (like John Lewis, James Clyburne, Eric Holder, and the current US President).
Has anyone ever mapped out the effects of this race-baiting, and how those in the Democrat camp have profited from it?
Clearly, there is no graduate student out there working on a thesis compiling this information into presentable, easy to understand form. There is no one working to expose the Race Industry for what it is — because, obviously, someone who set out to do this would be attacked and maligned as RAAACIST!.
But, after seeing the Left use these false cries of RAAACISM! against the Clintons, Geraldine Ferraro, John McCain, and Sarah Palin in 2008, and ourselves being victims of this attack, along with anyone else who dares to criticize the current president, we think moderates, conservatives, and independents should band together to stand up to these race-baiting bullies.
The first step in standing up to them is assembling an accurate, scholarly history of what they have done, what impact they have had, who is driving the Race Industry, how much it is profiting from its actions, and then offering a plan to systematically bring the Race Industry down.
There are times when we feel a pull towards accomplishing something much larger than ourselves…through all the research and other help we can get through all of you.
Maybe together we can accomplish what we know “journalists”, graduate students, academia, and politicians won’t even try.
Taking the American Race Industry down once and for all.
Question: Do you agree with Dick Cheney? Is Obama a one-term president?
Please think about this for a moment, and give a response more in-depth than “Yes” or “No”. Do you agree with Dick Cheney that Obama is a one-term president?
Our answer: No, with two caveats.
At this point in time, we believe Dr. Utopia will be re-elected, because the GOP and people who consider themselves “Tea Party Activists” are falling into the DNC’s trap perfectly.
(1) The GOP is positioning itself to run someone like Mitt Romney, John Thune, John Huntsman, Tim Pawlenty, or Haley Barbour in 2012 instead of Sarah Palin. Governor Palin will win if she’s the nominee. Those other men, as exciting as a cucumber and mayonnaise sandwich, will lose. We see clearly time and again the RNC is out of touch with reality and digs its heels into the ground for bad candidates that can’t win, for whatever reason. They did it in the NY-23 race with Dedee Whosawhatsits and they are doing it in California with Carly Fiorina. They did it in Florida for Charlie Crist vs. Marco Rubio, but thank Olympus that’s not working out and Rubio’s going to win.
Republicans have a weird, sick relationship with the media that we think is similar to women in bad relationships who we’ve personally known. The boyfriend is a jackass, has a drug problem, hits the woman, steals from her, and treats her like garbage calling her every bad name in the book. But, still, the woman keeps wanting to make that man happy, please him, and prove “he’s not so bad”. So, instead of just living her life how she wants and going out into the world to be herself, she’s always worried about what Wayne thinks, or what Wayne wants, or what Wayne’s going to do.
Republicans need to get over Wayne. Wayne, in the form of the MSM, is a jackass who will never love them. No matter what they do.
For decades, the MSM has been telling Republicans to be Democrat-lite, to be acquiescent, to not be “the party of No”. Well, America wants Republicans to be conservative, to fight for limited government and the Constitution, and to be the party of HELL NO when it comes to socialism, wasteful spending, and the pro-Islam, anti-American agenda of the current incarnation of the Democrat party.
That needs to stop.
But, we’re afraid it won’t stop before 2012, and the nomination of a terrible GOP candidate in the Romney-Thune-Pawlenty-Barbour-Huntsman mold who will lose to Dr. Utopia. Palin would win, but the MSM is working overtime to convince the GOP to not pick her. The GOP seems stuck listening to “Wayne” and will do as “Wayne” says, much to their detriment.
Many call the GOP the “Party of Stupid” for a very good reason.
(2) We are now convinced 100% the Democrats are actively fostering a Third Party movement in this country to guarantee Dr. Utopia gets a second term: essentially, the DNC is driving a wedge between conservatives and libertarian Republicans, and people are stupid enough to fall for this. The goal for the DNC in 2008 was to push McCain to the nomination so that conservatives would sit home “to teach the GOP a lesson”. Fools. But, of course they fell for that.
In 2012, the DNC is smart enough to realize they can’t get people to sit home again, because people are so upset over how badly Dr. Utopia is doing as president. So, the DNC knows people will come out and vote no matter what. The only game plan is, thus, to field a Third Party loser to be a spoiler to take just enough votes away from the GOP so that Dr. Utopia wins in a squeaker.
Every single one of you who ever says anything about backing a third party candidate is helping to achieve a second term for Dr. Utopia.
We cannot say this enough, or put this more simply: IF YOU TALK ABOUT THIRD PARTIES, YOU ARE HANDING DR. UTOPIA A SECOND TERM.
You are a bartender who knows the guy in front of you is drunk, with his keys in his hand, and you serve him another three martinis anyway.
The disaster to come will be your fault, no matter what justifications you try to make about it later. Whether you like it or not, America is a two party system. Not by design, but because that is how things are. Third Parties serve only one purpose: to divide the vote of one side so that the other side wins by default. People who do not like Democrats currently will guarantee a Democrat win by voting third party in 2012. This has happened every single time a third party candidate has been put forward: in every instance, the people who vote for a Ross Perot or Ralph Nader are people who didn’t want Clinton or Bush to win, but they threw their votes away on spoilers and allowed the candidate they wanted to be defeated to win.
We think the DNC knows there is only one path to a victory for Dr. Utopia in 2012, and that is to sufficiently rev up some sort of a third party, fake ‘Tea Party” candidate who will divide the GOP’s vote. Who that person is remains to be seen. It will NOT be a real “Tea Party” candidate because there is no such thing as the “Tea Party”. Nature abhors a vacuum, and the DNC realizes this, so we see considerable energy being spent creating something the MSM will start to call a physical “Tea Party” built by Democrats as the Washington Generals to lose to Dr. Utopia in 2012.
Democrats realize they can not defeat the growing contempt that exists for them across the country. They realize a rebellion is forming, and people are resisting socialist control. So, before that resistance can form into a viable force within the Republican party that would sweep every branch of government, Democrats are going to drive a wedge that will create a weak, separate, losing entity in a third party that will sap the GOP’s strength and allow Dr. Utopia to win re-election with 43% of the vote. 41% will go Republican, and 16% would go to a third party.
It is the Democrats’ sole path to victory.
As things stand now, it’s working.
We are focusing our efforts towards stopping this madness, but there are many people we know who want to hand the keys to a drunk and give him more martinis. We can see the disaster that will come from this, with the media’s great encouragement, but we don’t believe many of you out there realize what’s happening or how you are being manipulated by the DNC.
These lunatics are as close as they have ever been to their goals. They are fumbling and flailing, which makes them more dangerous than ever. There is an actual committed Marxist in the White House who is desperate for a second term in which he can be as completely insane and anti-American as possible. To destroy this country completely and “change” it the way that he wishes, he needs that second term.
All talk of third parties helps him get there.
We don’t even want to think about what this man would do if he was re-elected.
