— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, Democrats make clear that their top priorities include promoting LGBTQ activity to destroy traditional marriage and to destroy the traditional family. According to Democrats, your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents, and the rest of your ancestors were vicious disgusting White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who never should have been born.

DAILY HERALD
— Suburban House Democrats adjusting quickly to majority status – Marni Pyke (DIERSEN: Sooner or later, if not immediately, Democrat Party leaders will force “suburban House Democrats” to promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and even worse things. Sooner or later, if not immediately, Democrat Party leaders will force “suburban House Democrats ” to do even more to drive out of the suburbs individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Sooner or later, if not immediately, poverty and crime will increase, and prosperity and safety will decrease.)

ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— Pinocchio Rauner’s Staffer Tells Conservatives to Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter the GOP – Laurie Higgins
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/11/pinocchio-rauners-staffer-tells-conservatives-to-abandon-all-hope-ye-who-enter-the-gop/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A former staffer for Pinocchio Rauner wasted no time telling conservatives to abandon all hope. In a commentary appearing in Friday’s Chicago Tribune, Patrick Wohl tried to scare the Illinois GOP away from any rightward movement. Scaremonger Wohl ominously warned, “The Illinois GOP needs unity, not a race to the right.” That’s code language for “Abandon the social issues, you idiot right-wing lunatics!” How about this for a revision: “The Illinois GOP needs unity on the entire GOP platform, not abandonment of the parts of it ignorant RINOs and Libertarians don’t like.” Wohl describes Jeanne Ives‘ candidacy as “undoubtedly the first foray into this impending debacle” of moving the party rightward. Wohl suggests we look at the only kind of Republicans he claims can get elected in Illinois, from “Bruce Rauner to Mark Kirk to Judy Baar Topinka to Jim Edgar.” But why is that? Could it be that people like Wohl and Pat Brady relentlessly tell conservatives that they must sacrifice their beliefs on the altar of party unity, while never telling RINO and Libertarian-leaning Republicans to sacrifice their beliefs on the “social issues” for the sake of unity? (Interesting sidenote: former GOP Governor Jim Edgar is an official member of the JB Pritker transition team.) Maybe the fact that millennial Wohl previously worked for Rand Paul‘s and Eric Greiten‘s campaigns tells us something about his view of unifying around RINO positions.)

RED STATE
— Is The GOP The True Home Of Conservatism? (DIERSEN: Obviously, at least since the 1970s, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) has been dominated by anti-conservatives. Most commonly, they reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and/or Second Amendment planks in the IRP platform. Most commonly, they promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, and diminishment of Second Amendment rights.)
