2 Democrats on 3-member Election Panel vote to kick her off
From Jeff Wartman:
It's pretty clear that the Chicago machine is terrified of the change they know will come -- people are fed up with corruption and people who stand up against corruption are going to their number one target. Because Cedra is that person standing up against corruption, we need to stand up with her in support.
From the Chicago Tribune editorial "Mom vs. Machine Illinois Senate hopeful Cedra Crenshaw":
From the start, Illinois Senate hopeful Cedra Crenshaw wasn't just running against Democratic state Sen. A.J. Wilhelmi, of Joliet. A darling of the tea party movement, she sometimes sounds like she's running against Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress. These days, she's running hard against the Chicago Machine, which seems quite afraid of her.
Crenshaw, of Bolingbrook, is an accountant and auditor turned stay-at-home mom. She's also African-American. Three kids and a mortgage "catapulted me into the conservative I am today," she says. Her campaign stresses fiscal responsibility and government accountability; she supports Second Amendment rights and traditional marriage and opposes abortion.
With no candidate in the primary, Will County Republican leaders needed someone to challenge Wilhelmi in November, and Crenshaw said yes. Nominated on March 30, she had only 19 days to collect 1,000 signatures before the filing deadline.
She turned in 1,500.
And then the Democrats noticed.
The Will County Electoral Board threw her off the ballot last week after the Democrats sent in attorney Michael Kasper to keep her off the ballot. The two Democrats on the election board rejected her. The lone Republican voted to let her run. A Will County judge will consider her appeal Wednesday.
Crenshaw was bounced from the ballot, which just goes to show you how panicked the Dems are about the prospect of being held accountable in November.
Editor's Note - Jeff Wartman is a former Libertarian Party of Illinois Exec. Board member turned Republican activist (local GOP precinct committeeman and campaign volunteer). He is a Sports fanatic, (Bears & Blackhawks, of course), who lives in Chicago.
From Eric Dondero:
In a move somewhat unusual for the notoriously hardline and purist Georgia Libertarian Party, the GA LP's US Senate candidate Chuck Donovan has praised the States' two Republican Senators who will be voting against the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan.
The Peachtree Corners Weekly interviewed Donovan:
“It is astounding that someone with such restrictive views of the First Amendment would be nominated for the Supreme Court,” says Chuck Donovan. “Americans should be free to speak out against our politicians whenever and however they want. That is what our Founding Fathers intended to ensure with the First Amendment.”
“Her support of government power stands in stark opposition to civil rights and protection from government abuse.”
The article goes on to state:
Mr. Donovan is pleased to know that both of Georgia’s current Senators have pledged to vote against Elena Kagan’s nomination...
Georgia's two Republican Senators are Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson. Donovan is running against Isakson who faces only nominal Democrat opposition.

From Eric Dondero:
The Headline at Johnson's website says it all:
Ron takes the lead, 47 to 46!
This is the very first poll to show ultra-liberal Democrat incumbent Sen. Russ Feingold falling behind his likely Republican opponent. Rasmussen now gives a slight edge to GOPer Ron Johnson.
Just released from Rasmussen:
Feingold and his chief Republican challenger Ron Johnson remain locked in a neck-and-neck battle for the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Wisconsin finds Johnson with 47% support, while the Democrat earns 46% of the vote. Two percent (2%) like some other candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
A previous poll by Rasmussen had Feingold ahead 46 to 44%.
Johnson is a devotee of liberty philospher Ayn Rand. From a George Will column in May:
the idea of running for office never crossed Ron Johnson's mind. He was, however, dry tinder -- he calls Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" his "foundational book" -- and now is ablaze, in an understated, upper-Midwestern way. This 55-year-old manufacturer of plastic products from Oshkosh is what the tea party looks like.
"In short, Al Qaeda is a racist organization that treats black Africans like cannon fodder and does not value human life," - President Obama
From Cliff Thies:
In an interview with the African Broadcasting Company, and referring to the terrorist attacks in Uganda that left 74 dead, President Barack Obama actually used the words "radical" and "Islam" in the same sentence. He said that Islam is a great religion, but "a radical version" of Islam opposes "basic human rights," and that this is absolutely wrong. He says that he thinks the vast majority of of people of Islamic faith agree with him.
From Fox News Politics:
When asked about opinions attributing radical Islam's impact on the development and stability on the African continent, Obama called Islam "a great religion," but added that the radical version views as anti-Islam "any efforts to modernize, any efforts to provide basic human rights, any efforts to democratize."
"And I think that is absolutely wrong," he said. "I think the vast majority of people of the Islamic faith reject that. I think the people of Africa reject it."
Obama also accused terror groups such as Al Qaeda an Al Shabab of being racist. "What you've seen in some of the statements that have been made by these terrorist organizations is that they do not regard African life as valuable in and of itself," he said. "They see it as a potential place where you can carry out ideological battles that kill innocents without regard to long-term consequences for their short-term tactical gains."
We would like to add a few things: First, we think the radicals have hijacked Islam. But, they should not be allowed to referred to themselves as Muslims. They need to be ex-communicated by the leaders of the Muslim community and condemned for dishonoring God's holy name. When the day comes that they are ex-communicated, no should refer to terrorists as members, even as radical members, of any larger group encompassing many men and women of good will. We are happy to see the evolution of popular opinion and the teachings of the most revered scholars of the Muslim community on this matter.
Editor's Comment - Obviously, it pains us greatly to offer any praise whatsoever to Obama. In over a year and a half of his Presidency this is the first time we've ever had anything positive to say about him. But even a broken clock is right twice a day.
And so America has become the very monster it fought two hundred years ago:
The affable British scholar tried to keep it light. He used a stage whisper to tell the Aspen Institute audience, “I know you’re not comfortable with the word ‘empire,’ especially just after the Fourth of July, but you are the Redcoats now.”
