9 Principles, 12 Values

The 9 Principles
1.America Is Good.
2.I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.
3.I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington
4.The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson
5.If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson
6.I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson
7.I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington
8.It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington
9.The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson

The 12 Values
* Honesty
* Reverence
* Hope
* Thrift
* Humility
* Charity
* Sincerity
* Moderation
* Hard Work
* Courage
* Personal Responsibility
* Gratitude

WHY FIXING THE BUDGET IS IMPORTANT


Virtually every problem confronting Illinois - whether it is the Thomson prison deal, closing parks, or the inability to fund our service providers - stems from the utter mismanagement of tax payer dollars. This mismanagement is bipartisan, as the culture in Springfield is one of diverting resources to spending interests and insiders first. That culture must be changed, and it won't be changed by someone from that culture. http://www.adamforillinois.com/Budget/

Illinois Job Growth Lags over Long-Term. Over the past 16 years Illinois created less jobs than the average state. In the period from 1990-2006, Illinois lagged the nation and our Midwestern neighbors in not only job growth, but also in job growth within nearly every segment of our economy: construction, education and health, financial, government, information, leisure, manufacturing, professional, trade, and other! In fact, Illinois has shed manufacturing jobs 30% faster than the nation as a whole. The long term job creation trend in Illinois versus the nation is a dismal graph (see page 2 of source). Source: Jobs Coalition

Current economic policies are NOT improving job growth in Illinois. During the period between 2003-2007, Illinois ranked 45th of 50 states in job growth. The average state gained 321,000 new jobs while Illinois created only 129,000. By being a below average in job creation, Illinois lost out on attracting business, talent, and economic growth. That translates to $501 million in lost sales and income tax revenues. http://www.adamforillinois.com/Job-Growth/

Bush Deficit vs. Obama Deficit in Pictures | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News.


President Barack Obama has repeatedly claimed that his budget would cut the deficit by half by the end of his term. But as Heritage analyst Brian Riedl has pointed out, given that Obama has already helped quadruple the deficit with his stimulus package, pledging to halve it by 2013 is hardly ambitious. The Washington Post has a great graphic which helps put President Obama’s budget deficits in context of President Bush’s.

Prison agency denies that inmates were reclassified to help justify Thomson sale


Now you know this would never, never happen. Next you will try to tell me they let inmates out early and did not know about it.

The correct answer is - Put Stateville inmates in Thomson, refurbish Stateville for Cook County holds (DOC Director wants to build a new facility for the inmates who have pending court in Cook County). No new construction needed an empty Max Facility used and no terrorist in Illinois. Or we can continue with the Hokey Pokey.

State borrows $3.4 billion to ease cash crunch

If I get this right it says the State is borrowing $3.4 billion dollars to repay a fund (pension system) so they can borrow money from it. Is this how ou run your household? You would borrow money to pay of a credit card so you can use the credit card. Do you see the problem here?


State borrows $3.4 billion to ease cash crunch

Posted by Monique Garcia at 8:50 p.m.

The state completed the sale of $3.4 billion in bonds Thursday aimed at easing a cash crunch.

Most of the money will be poured into the state’s pension systems, which will free up about $843 million to help pay down the backlog of bills owed to universities, grade schools and medical providers, according to David Vaught, the budget director for Gov. Pat Quinn.

That figure is a small portion of what Comptroller Dan Hynes said is a $5.1 billion backlog, and it’s unclear how much will be funneled to the University of Illinois. The state’s flagship school announced furloughs earlier this week after administrators said the state owes the university about $436 million.
Quinn promised universities would see some money from this week’s round of borrowing, though Vaught said it’s up to the comptroller to decide how the money is distributed.

Hynes and Quinn are both seeking the Democratic nomination for governor in next month’s primary election.

Remember when dissent was supposed to be patriotic?

Hardball: Joan Walsh Calls Republican Critics of Obama 'Un-American' and 'Traitorous'

Remember when dissent was supposed to be patriotic? Well, it seems that only applies when a Republican is president. Now that Barack Obama is in the White House, criticism of him is "un-American" and "traitorous." This new "tolerant" view of dissent comes from Joan Walsh of Salon.Com as you can see in this Hardball video from Wednesday. Below is the Walsh money quote but please be sure to also watch the video since it is important to watch as she drops any facade of liberal tolerance and lets her true dogmatic soul reveal itself in both her face and voice which seems to border on dementia:
"The climate right now is that Republicans use everything they can to undermine and delegitimize this president. And it‘s actually un-American. It‘s traitorous, in my opinion. Do you want to give aid and comfort to our enemies? Continue to treat this president like he wasn‘t elected and he doesn‘t know what he‘s doing! He knows what he did. He knows what he‘s doing. I‘m proud of him. I believe that he has the stalwart, resolute nature to get this done..."

This hate filled outburst from Walsh came in the midst of a Hardball segment which also featured host Chris Matthews and guest Ron Christie, a Republican strategist, discussing President Obama's response to terrorism. Here is the transcript:

MATTHEWS: ... to the double dealing charge against you personally, sir, that you have a different attitude about President Bush and President Obama. President Bush took six days, according to the record, to respond to the shoe bomber. The president we have now, our president, took three days or 72 hours, I believe it was.

What‘s the difference in the way you score this? You seem to score it differently—is there is bell curve for Republicans...

WALSH: Really!

MATTHEWS: ... where they‘re given more time? Is this the Katrina rule, where if it‘s anything faster than a week, it‘s somehow Speedy Gonzalez here?

(LAUGHTER)

CHRISTIE: Chris...

MATTHEWS: I mean, why do you give credit to Bush for six days you don‘t give to this president for three days? What‘s your scorecard, sir?

CHRISTIE: I‘m not looking at a scorecard, Chris.

MATTHEWS: Well, what are you looking at?

CHRISTIE: I‘m looking at connecting the dots. If you go back to Major Hasan Nidal (SIC) this past summer...

MATTHEWS: You‘re changing the subject.

CHRISTIE: ... the shooting at Ft. Hood...

MATTHEWS: Why does Bush get six days?

CHRISTIE: No, no, Chris! No! I‘m going to actually answer this question. Again, we had a very tepid response from the Obama administration initially. First they said everything was under control. Then they said it was an isolated incident. Then we come forward to the Christmas incident. Chris, the difference is one thing and one thing only, Christmas Day is one of the most holiest day in the Christian religious faith.

MATTHEWS: Yes.

CHRISTIE: This was a radicalized Muslim who tried to kill 300 Americans on Christmas Day. I wanted my president to come out and say, We recognize this is an act of terror by a radicalized Muslim on Christmas Day...

WALSH: That‘s ridiculous.

CHRISTIE: ... and we have the situation under control.

MATTHEWS: Why did he have to say “radicalized Muslim”? Why is that lingo so important to you?

WALSH: Richard Reid was a radicalized Muslim three days before Christmas. I had relatives flying in. It was 2001. I was actually scared to death at that point. So were a lot of Americans. But nobody thought to bray about President Bush staying on his vacation because that wasn‘t the climate at the time.

The climate right now is that Republicans use everything they can to undermine and delegitimize this president. And it‘s actually un-American. It‘s traitorous, in my opinion. Do you want to give aid and comfort to our enemies? Continue to treat this president like he wasn‘t elected and he doesn‘t know what he‘s doing! He knows what he did. He knows what he‘s doing. I‘m proud of him. I believe that he has the stalwart, resolute nature to get this done. In my opinion, sometimes he goes too far, but to talk about him like he‘s some socialist out-to-lunch...

MATTHEWS: OK...

WALSH: ... is just outrageous!

Perhaps Walsh needs to be thanked for openly displaying the true face of political intolerance on the part of liberals.
