— DISGUSTING, OUTRAGEOUS, TRAGIC: DIERSEN HEADLINER: Ever-increasingly, pot pushers push pot. What goals do pot pushers have for this year – 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% of those in Illinois to be stoners by the end of the year? To push pot on an individual, municipality, township, county, state, or country is to destroy that individual, municipality, township, county, state, or country.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Democrats’ plan for race-based housing aid draws lawsuit threats, charges of reverse discrimination – Kery Murakami
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who focus on a) stopping me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) stopping everyone from reading those newsletters. I would focus on those who have taken the biggest adverse actions against me. I would focus on those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover-up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, and RINO leaders or the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on the aforesaid who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout.)

(DIERSEN: Presidential candidate Bob Dole walked in Wheaton’s 1996 Independence Day Parade and held a rally in Wheaton’s Memorial Park right after the parade. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs have always vehemently opposed Republican participation in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades.
