GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— JULY 25, 2007 FLASHBACK: Republicans made parade great event – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(MY LETTER TO SUBURBAN LIFE EDITOR: One of the reasons why parents bring their children to parades is to see marching bands and animals. This year, for Wheaton’s Independence Day parade, in my roles as the www.GOPUSA.com Illinois editor, as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman and as a Milton Township Republican precinct committeeman, I had the honor of recruiting Republicans and Republican organizations to sponsor two outstanding parade entries: The Chicago Highlanders Pipes and Drums band and Big Queenie, a 38-year-old, 10,000 pound Asian female elephant. With the elephant being the proud symbol of the Republican Party, I am very happy to report that Big Queenie won the parade’s Best Political Entry award. Outstanding Republican parade entries included Joe Birkett, DuPage County District 4 (Grant Eckhoff, Mike Formento, J.R. McBride and Debra Olson), Mike Fortner, Gwen Henry, Randy Hultgren, Chris Kachiroubas, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, Ron Paul supporters, Peter Roskam, Steve Sauerberg and Bob Schillerstrom. Big Queenie, who recently visited Wheaton with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus at the DuPage County fairgrounds, walked the parade route behind Congressman Peter Roskam’s float. Many who stopped by the staging area before the parade kicked off took advantage of the opportunity to see the beautiful and very gentle elephant up close and take pictures of her. I hope that Republican sponsorship of Big Queenie and the outstanding Chicago Highlanders Pipe and Drums in the parade will become a tradition. Many thanks again to the following outstanding 30 Republicans and one Republican political organization who contributed from $50 to $250 each for a total of $3,300 to sponsor the Chicago Highlanders and/or Big Queenie: Mary Jo Arndt, Alan Bolds, Fred Bucholz, David Carlin, Roger Claar, Franco Coladipietro, Mike Connelly, Paul Daniels, Kirk Dillard, DuPage County Young Republicans, Bob Earl, Jim Flickinger, Mike Formento, Mike Fortner, Mike Gresk, Gwen Henry, Randy Hultgren, Bob Jacobsen, Chris Kachiroubas, Gary King, Mark Kmiecik, Bob Larsen, J.R. McBride, Debra Olson, Mike Prueter, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Leonard Sanchez, Ron Smith, Phil Suess and Tim Whelan. Also, many thanks again to All Star Printing for printing the many parade fliers that I hand-delivered to every home and business on the parade route.)

— East St. Louis has always celebrated Juneteenth. Now, leaders want equity. – DEASIA PAIGE
(DIERSEN: From what I see, ever-increasingly, Democrats will promote Juneteenth and cancel Independence Day.)
https://www.bnd.com/news/local/article252227738.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Equity was a theme of Saturday’s Juneteenth Metro-East “Freedom in Equity” Festival, which was organized by the Taylors. . .“Reparations now,” Terrance said about what he wants to see happen next now that Juneteenth is officially a national holiday. “Reparations now. We got Juneteenth, and now that’s the strategy. “ . . . “It means next steps,” Stephanie said. “It means time to move even further. This was just one step. This was about acknowledging history, and now it is time to make sure equity is realized … that looks like reparations. That looks like the Crown Act. That looks like really experiencing equity.” . . . “I’m going to be honest, I don’t even celebrate the Fourth of July anymore,” Thomas, 38, said. I haven’t celebrated it in the past few years, so I don’t intend on celebrating it anymore. It’s not trying to be one kind of way, it’s just that I’m excited about my heritage and my people, and at any given moment, I want to celebrate it if not every day.” . . . “While the end of slavery is an important milestone in our crucial history, we know it has been followed by over 150 years of continued oppression and inequity,” Greenwood said.)

That is, they discriminated big time against their employees who were Republican, and especially against those who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

He also asserted that “Christians must stand up and fight against evil” and questioned, “What’s happy about being perverted?”)
