Welcome to Chicago, Democrats
Wall Street Journal ^ | April 4, 2024 | Editorial Board

Posted on 04/05/2024 7:20:20 AM PDT by PBRCat

The story began March 22, when a group called Behind Enemy Lines organized a protest near Chicago’s City Hall. The group says its purpose is to “stop the U.S.-Israel War Machine” and keep “Genocide Joe” Biden out of Chicago.

“People are like, we want to confront some Zionists . . . we want to burn an Israeli flag, we want to take this protest to the next level.” As for the DNC, the group says it aims to “make bruises from Chicago police batons the 2024 back-to-school Fall fashion.”

Democrats can’t be eager to have Joe Biden’s moment turn into a rerun of the violent clashes that made the Chicago Democratic convention infamous in 1968.

Are they going to boo God again, like they did in Charlotte?

Why do people that are THIS nutty manage to beat us politically at every turn? Oh, that’s right. We have NO OPPOSITION PARTY to work for us!

Another ‘Summer of Love’ coming up! ;)

4 years ago, it was BLM and ANTIFA riots that Democrats supported I wonder if this time around it will be anti-Israel riots, if it is, synagogues and Jewish people need to be ready because a bunch of crazy leftists can inflict a lot of damage.

Given the proximity of Chicago to Milwaukee (approximately 90 miles), I have genuine concerns that some of the lunatics are going to try to protest and riot in Wisconsin as well by commuting from Illinois.

Given Wisconsin being a battleground state, I can appreciate why the Republicans want to meet there, but it may be ugly this summer in both convention cities.

Behind Enemy Lines leader Michael Boyte said in a video that the group doesn’t want “just the same mass peaceful marches” that are “left in form but right in essence

Do read this correctly? This guy is concerned that there won’t be enough rioting and violence?

I heard rumors that some Dems are talking about NOT having a convention this year!

Wouldn’t that be something

My thoughts exactly! But, this time there isn't a Mayor Daly to bust some heads! (Never thought I'd have a good thing to say about the Daly's)

"..synagogues and Jewish people need to be ready because a bunch of crazy
leftists can inflict a lot of damage."

I wouldn't bet against the likelihood of leftist jewish citizens joining in with
the rioting and burning.

MEANWHILE, In the ILLINOIS CAPITOL CITY OF SPRINGFIELD....

As your elected Sangamon County Clerk, I am privileged to also serve as the Clerk of Capital Township. I am writing to make you aware of the annual township meeting next week and urge Capital Township Republicans to attend.

A radical group of citizens is proposing an advisory ballot question that insults and threatens our country’s longstanding friendship and alliance with Israel.

The question asks, “Shall the United States federal government and subordinate divisions stop giving military funding to Israel, which currently costs taxpayers 3.8 billion dollars a year, given Israel’s global recognition as an apartheid regime with a track record of human rights violations?”

Capital Township Government has absolutely nothing to do with Foreign Policy.
As a community, we should reject these meaningless hyper-political ballot questions that have no purpose or effect except to divide and inflame the community.

American support for Israel is grounded in shared values and historical ties. As Republicans, we recognize Israel’s significance as a beacon of democracy. Over the years, Israel has proven to be a steadfast ally, aligning with American interests and values of freedom, prosperity, and law. Our partnership has yielded many significant benefits.

We must come together to reject this misguided proposal. Please make every effort to attend the meeting on April 9th and encourage fellow Republicans to join us in rejecting this referenda question and standing up for one of our proven and strongest allies in Israel.

Thank you for your dedication to our shared values. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Meeting Information

Date: April 9th, 2024

Time: 6:00 PM

Location: Sangamon South (Former SJ-R Building) 2nd-floor Auditorium. 300 S 9th, Springfield, IL

At the very least they’ll be voting the same way.

Whatever horrible plan Democrats come up with they’ll know they have the full support of the corrupt MSM. Little brown noser’s.
