JOURNAL COURIER
— German heritage well-rooted in state – and a cause for celebration – Tom Emery (COMMENT: All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s to northeast Illinois from what is now Germany. My grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI. My uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII. My father would have fought the Germans during WWII if he had not been 4-F. I should write a book about those who have used my being 100% German national origin against me the most. I would focus on those who have also used my being baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran against me the most.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: German-American Day is observed every Oct. 6 and, in Illinois, there is plenty of reason to celebrate. German ancestry remains prevalent in Illinois, as it has for a century and a half. The strength of German-Americans helped shape Illinois history through a Civil War, as well as two world wars against the old country. Of the nearly 1.8 million residents of Illinois in 1860, nearly 325,000 were of foreign birth. Germans were the largest ethnic group with 130,000, nearly 8% of the state’s total population. Some 20% of Chicago’s population was German. Many had arrived following the failed German revolution of 1848. . .Many Germans were farmers, while others were laborers, merchants, and skilled tradesmen. Some followed the popular crafts of their homeland and worked as butchers, bakers, shoemakers, furniture and wagon builders, and cigar makers. Architecture of traditionally German-American buildings, often in brick, still is visible across the state. German-language newspapers were found across the state, even in the smallest cities. In 1859, future presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln bought the press and type to establish a German-language Republican paper. In Peoria, future Illinois Secretary of State Edward Rummel, a native of Baden, Germany, ran a German paper and print shop that produced goods in both German and English. John Wood, who founded the city of Quincy and served as governor for 10 months in 1860-61, was born to a German mother. In 1892, John Altgeld, a Prussian native, won election for one term as Illinois governor and is best known for his pardon of three of the accused in the infamous Haymarket Riot. Politically, German support was crucial, and their weight was felt at the first Illinois Republican state convention in 1856. The German influence also was a key factor in the 1860 presidential race, and at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, German resolutions were even incorporated into the national platform. Germans were perceived to be staunch abolitionists, though some scholars dispute that claim. Nearly 6,000 Illinois Germans enlisted in the first six months of the Civil War, comprising practically three whole regiments. One top German commander was Friedrich Hecker, a renowned 1848 revolutionary who was a gentleman farmer near Belleville, in the heart of heavily German settlements. Another German regimental commander from St. Clair County was Gustave Koerner, who served as lieutenant governor of Illinois from 1852 to 1856 and was a pallbearer at Abraham Lincoln’s Springfield funeral. By 1910, more than 319,000 German immigrants were in Illinois, and more than 1 million people of German descent — a 10th of the national total — called the state home. With nearly 400,000 first- and second-generation German immigrants, Chicago was the sixth-largest German city on the globe in 1914. The high concentration of Germans caused some protest at the outbreak of World War I, as many of German descent decried their adopted country’s stance against their homeland. Music by German composers such as Mozart and Beethoven was banned in some public places, and some German-Americans were under surveillance by state and federal officials. Other German-Americans were forced to recite loyalty oaths in public spectacles. Within a few years, use of the German language, once prominent, faded from schools and churches. As a result, many Germans in Illinois distanced themselves from their heritage. From 1914 to 1920, the number of Illinois residents who identified themselves as German on the U.S. Census dropped more than 41%, to 112,000. But many Germans remained loyal to the American cause and took active roles in the war effort both at home and abroad. A quarter-century later, dislike of German residents was a minor issue in World War II, as many chose to focus their disgust on Adolph Hitler, rather than their German neighbors. Today, German heritage in Illinois is celebrated in festivals and carnivals statewide, while some communities in Chicagoland, as well as Moline, Peoria, Gibson City, Mascoutah, Waterloo and Millstadt, feature popular German restaurants. Museums and research centers on German-American history and heritage are found in several large metro areas, including Chicago, Frankfort and the Quad Cities.)

https://dailycaller.com/2021/10/05/victor-davis-hanson-breaks-down-how-elites-are-destroying-what-it-means-to-be-an-american-citizen-in-new-book/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The overarching theory of social scientists and historians is the shift from an “equality-of-opportunity” to an “equality-of-outcome” society. This transformation during the New Deal was the requisite for the entire 1960s continuance under the Great Society programs and their redefinition of civil rights to encompass government-ensured economic parity through higher taxes, income redistribution, massive new government spending, and forced proportional representation by race and gender in hiring and admission. Up until then, Americans traditionally had been open to new and stronger laws protecting equality of opportunity but were wary of the destructiveness of envy, the ancient fuel of an equality-of-result society that saw government punish its more successful citizens.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— And Jews Will Still Vote Democrat – Dennis Prager (COMMENT: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, many of my superiors and supervisors were Jewish. I should write a book about how my Democrat superiors forced them to take adverse actions against me. During the last 4 years that I worked for GAO, all of my superiors and supervisors were Jewish and 2/3 of them were female. My Democrat superiors stressed to my Jewish supervisors a) that I was conservative, b) that I was Republican, c) that I had been baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, d) that I was 100% German national origin, e) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, and f) that I lived in Wheaton since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F, and that all my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s.)
