The left has no character. We know they look to the bottom of the barrel and hold up Farrakhan. Plus Farrakhan is anti-american which means nothing to the left.. they love to hate America. Nothing new . They hold up communists, and the anti-american muslims.

And then have all their hate placed on Christian values such as pro-life, marriage between one man and one woman.. then they want everyone to be tolerant as they smear Christians .

You just contradicted yourself. You accuse a movement of hating America, yet not caring whether someone is anti-American. I also find it odd that you accuse a movement of lacking character. Movements never have character, individuals do.

You sure his views don't just "evolve" like Obama's?

Cook County voters aren't the smartest. If you want to take a look at past politicians from the county and/or state...

I don't know how to respond.

Believe it or not they actually were. I'm currently in a history class and we are studying the progressive era of the early 20th century. American progressives actually agreed with many of the Nazi beliefs dealing with racial purity. They acually
spread anti semitism in the US through magazine articles, flyers, newspaper articles and speeches. They agreed with the Nazis that eastern Europeans and Jews were not intelligent, were lazy, had unappealing physical features. I have been frankly surprised at some of the things I'm learning about so called progressives and their horn tooting about all their tolerance.

In Hitler's earliest speeches that helped in his rise to power he appealed to the poor and worker class. He himself was a starving artist disillusioned with wealthy Jewish merchants that he felt were keeping him poor and hoarding wealth for themselves. Not what most people would call conservative views.

Illinois politicians, ya gotta love em'. Our last mayor thought he was Al Capone. The present one thinks he's Hitler. Our last governor thought he was Huey Long and the one before him, Boss Tweed. Two of the aforementioned are in prison and the other two should be. Illinois is an equal opportunity state. We elect corrupt officials from either party.

The Rahmbomb recently enlisted the head of the Nation of Islam to help police the streets since apparently CPD ain't up to the task. This is the same Rahm who is blocking Chick-fil-A from expanding in Chicago because of their anti-gay marriage stance. He claims that their CEO's position is against Chicago values, which in turn means that Chicago values are pro gay marriage.

Fine by me, I support gay marriage 100%. But here's where it gets comical, like some stuff you'd expect in a satire about politics but not in real life. Alas, Chicago is a living satire.

Louis Farrakhan and the NOI adamantly oppose gay marriage on the same religious grounds as Chick-fil-A's CEO, albeit through their interpretation of Islam rather than Christianity:

Louis Farrakhan Critiques Obama's Gay Marriage Endorsement

I'm guessing that ol' Louis and his gang of radicals are a little deeper in Rahmbo's pockets than Chick-fil-A, hence the turning of a blind eye.

Oh Chicago!
Keep your regional saber rattling to the City vs. City forum. Thanks
