vito Posted June 24, 2018 at 09:36 PM Share Posted June 24, 2018 at 09:36 PM Anyone know where Mike Madigan lives? Maybe we could organize a protest at his home for his ruining of this statess economy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec5 Posted June 24, 2018 at 11:02 PM Share Posted June 24, 2018 at 11:02 PM I think it's a bad idea to protest at somebody's home. Their family and neighbors should never be involved. That would be stooping to using the oppositions tactics. We are above that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPistol Posted June 24, 2018 at 11:27 PM Share Posted June 24, 2018 at 11:27 PM OK, how about protesting his office? http://www.ilga.gov/house/rep.asp?MemberID=1840 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobPistol Posted June 25, 2018 at 01:06 AM Share Posted June 25, 2018 at 01:06 AM So I take it that protesting his law firm is a no-no as well? http://www.madigetz.com/attorneys/michael-j-madigan.htmlMadigan messes up the property tax laws, companies pay him to clean it up for them.

splash Posted June 25, 2018 at 03:20 AM Share Posted June 25, 2018 at 03:20 AM Only liberals are allowed to protest in front of the homes just like what they did to DHS Secretary Nielsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vito Posted June 25, 2018 at 04:08 PM Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 at 04:08 PM This is the new norm. I'd be glad to show up when I can and scream obscenities at some Democrat politicians. https://hotair.com/archives/2018/06/25/social-warfare-new-norm-conservatives-will-forced-play-game/?utm_source=hadaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeepSight Posted June 25, 2018 at 04:28 PM Share Posted June 25, 2018 at 04:28 PM If this does become the new normal, it can only escalate and I figure at some point things will turn violent- like beyond name calling and verbal harassment.

GTX63 Posted June 25, 2018 at 05:08 PM Share Posted June 25, 2018 at 05:08 PM When government staffers are yelling F U to the President inside the capitol, how close to physical altercations do you think we are? The isolated incidents will always happen, but now it is a risk to be even seen dining at a restaurant or be seen entering your home. I recall a group of black senators walking up steps arm in arm, supposedly in fear of being attacked by tea party protesters. Never happened, thought it was insinuated.Now fools like Maxine Waters spout off that harrassment should be the rallying cry.What is her address?

vito Posted June 25, 2018 at 06:14 PM Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 at 06:14 PM I may be old, but I would be glad to join a crowd to protest any number of politicians that are intent on destroying our nation. That includes every Democrat U.S. Senator and most of the Democrat U.S. Congressman in addition to Mike Madigan at the state level. But honestly, I'd prefer to do it at other than Chicago locations, unless I can attend while armed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTHunter Posted June 25, 2018 at 08:58 PM Share Posted June 25, 2018 at 08:58 PM I agree - office yes, home no. "An eye for an eye." Or "Do unto others". It's past time for a little payback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could organize a protest at his home for his ruining of this statess economy? I know where he lives in Springfield. It is a controlled access building so you would not get in. You could stand outside in a private parking lot until the Police showed up. I agree with earlier posters. As much as you may not like him or his policies, I think we move to a much less civilized state when we take our feelings to a level as personal as that.

That would be stooping to using the oppositions tactics. We are above that. Agreed! - This is (at least for the time being) still America. We should all be free to disagree without being personally harassed. The media does enough of that with Trump, the NRA, and us as gun owners. There seems to be trend among some of the liberals to do that as well, and it is disgusting and disheartening. We do not need for gun owners to join that movement.

vito Posted June 26, 2018 at 12:50 PM Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 at 12:50 PM It only has by the Left. Those on the Right are still playing by the rules, limiting their disgust with the Left by writing letters to the editor and sharing our gripes on forums like this. I'm thinking it is past due for those that support the President, and support the return of traditional American values have got to take more real action to make the opponents REALLY uncomfortable, and maybe even afraid.

Afraid in what way? Afraid they are going to lose even more seats in Washington, state government, local government? Yes. They are on the losing end, they are desperate. Afraid for their safety? We don't do that here. It's against our code of conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiliconSorcerer Posted June 26, 2018 at 03:37 PM Share Posted June 26, 2018 at 03:37 PM As long as safety isn't defined by the people who feel "unsafe". Like offensive, anything anyone fines offensive is, that's just BS. If there's a crowd of people with an opposing opinion some people would claim they feel unsafe.
