I'm with you. Thank God I don't live in IL too. They have some of the worst laws in the country.
But we do have the best homeschool laws. Which is good since the anti-christ resides in the public school system here.
I don't live in IL, but in the neighboring state of Iowa, which isn't exactly a red state. If you were to look at the red/blue map you would think we were a red state, but the metro areas of Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Quad-Cities and Dubuque have all turned to the dark side.
It's scary to see govenment officals, that were elected to uphold the Constitution, do all in there power to destroy it.
Semper Fi.
