MCHENRY COUNTY BLOG
— Democrats Outshine Republicans at Crystal Lake Independence Day Parade (COMMENT: Hopefully, Republican candidates for the following offices will have entries in Wheaton’s Independence Day parade: a) U.S. President, b) U.S. Representative, c) Illinois Senator, d) Illinois Representative, e) DuPage County States Attorney, c) DuPage County Circuit Court Clerk, d) DuPage County Recorder, e) DuPage County Coroner, f) DuPage County Auditor, and g) DuPage County Board. I started serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2005. But my anti-conservative and my anti-Republican critics/opponents ended that in 2021. They hint/imply/argue/shout that what I did caused Republican candidates to lose. I arranged for a live elephant to walk behind Roskam in the 2007 parade. I should write a book about Republican participation in and sponsorship of Wheaton Independence Day parades since 1978.)

— Democrats say “Biden’s age is stumbling block to reelection.” When did your age first become a stumbling block for you? For me it was 1973 when I was a 25-year-old IRS employee a) who was conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and whose ancestors had been in America since 1844 and who had been a Crete resident 1948-1972 and b) who had not made GS-13 (currently $109,732/year). My age became a bigger stumbling block in 1978 when I was 30 and I had still had still not made GS-13 even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination my first attempt in 1979. My age became a bigger stumbling block in 1983 when I was 35 and I had still had not made GS-13 even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. My age became a bigger stumbling block in 1988 when I was 40 and I had still had not made GS-14 (currently $129,671/year) even though I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. The aforesaid is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

That candidate will be the one who Democrats believe will be the easiest to defeat.
