A Rant About Daley

Who's having a Second Amendment party on Monday? Since I have to work all week, it'll probably just be cake & ice cream, but I'm having a little family party in celebration of the McDonald decision that will bring freedom, albeit a little bit, back to the residents of Chicago. Since I don't see how they can rule against McDonald after the Heller decision, the question is how far will the scope of the ruling go. I could go into the technical details, but if you were interested in those, you probably have already researched them.

Of course, this will not be the end of SCOTUS gun cases, probably just the opposite. If you think Daley will stop, think, and say "oh, jeez, I was in violation of the constitution this whole time, I must look quite the fool" then you aren't from Illinois. He will file lawsuit after lawsuit claiming he can ban handguns that take a magazine, don't have a safety, are above a certain caliber, if they just plain look scary to the typical liberal (that would mean all handguns), and handguns that take bullets. This is because Daley doesn't look to the constitution for advice on rights, responsibilities, the rule of law, or freedom. He looks to the constitution with contempt. He thinks of it as an outdated doctrine that keeps him from imposing his totalitarian rule.

He also views the free market as a plague. I mean, he wants Walmart to have to pay a minimum salary to it's employees that is significantly higher than the state minimum. Everyone likes money, but Walmart is about the only business willing to invest in the ghettos of Chicago. They should be begging Walmart to move in! There's a Walmart in Evergreen Park, and one in Crestwood. More than 50% of the cars have Chicago City stickers in the windows. All Chicago is doing by keeping Walmart out is sending it's citizens to the suburbs to do their shopping, and losing valuable 10.25% tax revenue.

I could keep going, but this post is already a bit too long.
