    Illinois vs Oklahoma

    These two e-mails, the first about Illinois and the second about Oklahoma, made an interesting contrast . . ..

    A wonderful state with zero Republicans - The Great State of Illinois.

    PART 1---Illinois
    Some interesting data on the State of Illinois ... There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. Averaging $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. Should pull out of Chicago? Body count: In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago. 221 killed in Iraq; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

    Here's the Chicago chain of command: President: Barack Obama
    Senator: Dick Durbin House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. Governor: Pat Quinn House leader: Mike Madigan Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) Mayor: Rahm Emanuel The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. Of course, they're all blaming each other. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

    State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

    Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

    This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to "fix" Washington politics for us?

    George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in prison.

    He was replaced by Rob Blagoyavic who is, that's right, also in prison.

    Jesse Jackson Jr. He is in prison.

    The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates. What?

    As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.

    "Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

    Don't forget Detroit, another good example?

    PART 2---Oklahoma
    OKLAHOMA - may soon have plenty of new residents!

    THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING, AND TRUE .... PLEASE READ IT!

    Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even one county in the last election... While everyone is focusing on Arizona's new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!

    An update from Oklahoma:

    Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values... HB 1330

    Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

    Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.

    Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

    Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Madam Pelosi said it was unconstitutional SB 1102

    Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

    Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas, Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.

    More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Carolina's, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

    The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals. The Liberals didn't like it -- But....

    Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

    Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver's license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really simple.

    By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either

    Guess what... who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

    If you like it, pass it on, if you don't then delete it... Thanks

    Guess what: the people I'm sending this to will send it on. Well, at least the ones who love and believe in freedom will.

      Illinois law and crime vs. Oklahoma laws

      I'll admit to some Oklahoma bashing in the past when I was much younger. Mostly just "friendly rivalry", largely based on the big football game every year during the Texas State Fair between OU and the University of Texas, Austin (the "Longhorns").

      My respect for Oklahoma has grown immensely in the last few years. Largely because of things like the stuff that TMan posted. So let me say publicly here and now, "I was wrong about Oklahoma. I take back any negative thing I've said of them in the past. My bad."

      Oklahoma is now Texas' best neighbor. New Mexico is getting more than a bit "purple" these days, and doesn't merit consideration. Arkansas and Louisiana are both fine, conservative Southern states, but Oklahoma gets my vote. If I ever had to leave Texas for another state, Oklahoma would be on a short list of options. Arizona, Alaska, Utah, Idaho...anybody noticing a trend here?

            Too many damn "artists" and such moving into Taos, Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I suspect the Kommiefornia invasion has been happening for a number of years much like in Colorado.

                  It all balances out. Property taxes on your residence are 15 times higher in TX. W/O the income tax TX is super sneaky in how they get into your pockets.

                    when I retire, I am calling "home" another state other than Kalifornia. Looks Like NV, OK and TX are the front runners. Each seems to have their pluses and minuses.

                      Exactly. You have to consider all factors and find out what works best for you.
