Obamaland vs. America (in the middle)

  Illinois vs  Oklahoma

  These two e-mails, the  first about Illinois and the second about Oklahoma,
made an interesting contrast . .  .

  A wonderful state with zero Republicans - The Great State of Illinois .

  Part  1--- Illinois

  Some interesting data on the State  of Illinois ... There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in  the U.S. averaging $110,000/year. Their pensions  average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till the end.  I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull  out of Chicago ? Body count: In the last six months,  292 killed (murdered) in Chicago . 221 killed in Iraq ; AND Chicago has one of the  strictest gun laws in the entire US.

  Here's the Chicago chain of  command: President: Barack Obama · Senator: Dick Durbin · House Representative:  Jesse Jackson Jr. · Governor: Pat Quinn · House leader: Mike Madigan · Atty.  Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) · Mayor: Rohm Emanuel · The leadership in  Illinois - all Democrats. · Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago . · Of course, they're all blaming each  other. · Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! · Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the  country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

  State pension  fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans; there  aren't any!

  Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't  blame Republicans; there aren't any!

  This is the political culture  that Obama comes from in Illinois . And he is going  to 'fix' Washington politics for  us?

  George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in prison.

  He  was replaced by Rob Blagoyavic who is, that's right, also in  prison.

  And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of  weeks ago, because he is fighting to not be sent to... that's right,  prison.

  The Land of Lincoln , where our governors make our license plates.  What?

  As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population  of Chicago , nothing is going to change, except the  state will go broke before the country does.

  "Anybody who thinks he  can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him better  take a closer look at the American Indian."

  Don?t forget Detroit , another good example?

  PART  2--- Oklahoma

  OKLAHOMA - may soon have plenty of new residents!

  THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING, AND  TRUE ... PLEASE READ IT!

  Oklahoma is the  only state that Obama did not win even one county in the last election... While  everyone is focusing on Arizona 's new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!

  An update from Oklahoma :

  Oklahoma law  passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance  to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a  mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values... HB 1330

  Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

  Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all  illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want  to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804.  This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said  it would be a mistake.

  Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently we  passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all
illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Madam Pelosi said it was unconstitutional SB 1102

  Guess  what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several  weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a  Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.

More states are likely to follow:  Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia,
Carolina's, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West  Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the  South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

The federal  Government has made bold steps to take away our guns.
Oklahoma, a week ago,  passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and  transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals.  The Liberals didn't like it -- But....

  Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month,  the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers license exams will be  printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been  called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in  English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you  must read and write English. Really simple.

  By the way, the Liberals  don't like any of this either

  Guess what... who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

  If you like  it, pass it on, if you don't then delete it... Thanks

  Guess  what: the people I'm sending this to will send it on. Well, at
least the ones  who love and believe in freedom will.
