A typical Dem response would be something like: “Ryan’s district is very close to Chicago, he should stay home and fix the problems in his backyard before running around trying to save the world.”

Chicago is like that scene out of “Generation Kill” after Saddam is ousted and the Marines are sitting outside the city watching the tracers. I worked with some work release gang bangers back during the waning days of the crack wars and their lives once they got back to home at night were basically about popping off caps at one another, then coming to work and talking trash about it.

Hey, these are Chicago values! I’d offer to pray for the city, but that wouldn’t be the Chicago-way.

But, but, I thought Chicago WAS fixed? They have “commonsense gun control” there, don’t they?

The real news was buried.

All the good shots, the marksmen, already killed each other. The remaining dregs never really learned to shoot properly.

And why hasn’t the ‘der fuhrer” publicly mourned for the victims and condemned the perps?

Because:
a) It wouldn't disparage white conservative males;
b) Gang shootings are SOP in a democrat-controlled culture.

When the media began its hand wringing after the Aurora shooting, my first thought was that it sounded like a three day weekend in Chicago. Of course, the racist MSM is no more concerned about blacks slaughtering blacks in Chicago than they were when it was happening in Rwanda. The political agenda trumps everything.

Correctomundo—as Rahm would say, “there’s no place for values such as those in Chigago”.

As for me, I’m saving my prayers for the Republican voters in this coming Tuesday’s Wisconsin Republican Senatorial primary.

So, let me get this straight - if Chick-fil-A wants to have ‘Chicago Values’ they’ll need to shoot 15 of their customers in the next two days?
