I’m proud to say that once again my state of Illinois has produced a politician that doesn’t care about his constituency, the constitution, or the safety of the people of Illinois. His name is Dickie Durban, a school teacher turned yellow. He votes for any bill being sponsored by his good buddy Obama. He is in the elite club of Illinois politicians like George Ryan, Roland Burris, and Rod Blagojevich. WHat does he care about except his legacy and his pension?
The latest ploy by Durban is to house the GITMO terrorists in Illinois. He proposes the Federal Government to buy a brand new prison in Thomson, Illinois and to convert it into a super-max prison. He will then bring jobs to Illinois by staffing the prison to care for the GITMO guys. A while back I wrote a piece titled “A Gitmo Proposal“ which gave my proposal for housing the same guys in Illinois. My proposal was more interesting than Dickie’s. I wanted to give BO some extra income by housing the terrorists in BO’s vacant house in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago.
I have a quandary about the prison in Illinois. It is a relatively new facility in Thomson, Illinois. It currently houses about one hundred and eighty inmates. It has capacity for eighteen hundred. How is it that it is only ten percent utilized? The words I hear are that the state can’t afford to staff it. Didn’t they think about staffing when they built the damn place? It is my guess that this prison was built with ear marks put on some obscure bill by Dickie Durbin.
Illinois has a history of projects that are under utilized. There is a very large air port in southern Illinois near Saint Louis that doesn’t have any air traffic. The old “Field of Dreams” principle of “build it they will come” never materialized but we have a beauty of an air port in an area that no one will ever visit or hear about in the next thousand years. Now we have a prison in the same category. At least this time Dickie is being creative, and is trying to double dip for good old Illinois.

Illinois has been corrupt forever and will continue as long as we have a state without any Christian Morals. When will our elected officials realize that “We the Christian People” have some rights too?
Joe,
Maybe this article should be sent to our News Papers. I think you need even a wider audience.
