McCormick denounced his "liberalized liberal" colleagues and their efforts to turn Illinois into a state Satan loves. pic.twitter.com/cFll9pfhAo

I was in a Christian school in 1981.
That’s also the primary reason why I don’t support the concept of Christian schools today.

Could it be…. “the” Satan?

While I wouldn’t bet on him winning either a crowded primary or the general, it would ironic if he wound up running for senator or governor in a midterm election that isn’t looking great for Democrats. Goodness knows he has more general election appeal than nearly any GOP name I can think of.

Next thing you know the liberalized liberals will be trying to name Satan as the State deity. /s

Pretty sure Satan would approve of some of the stuff that goes down in ‘Christian’ schools. We pulled our three kids out of a parochial school and enrolled them in public. It’s one of the best things we ever did for them.

Always love the ‘Satan’ arguement. Right up there with ’socialism’, ‘communist’, ‘nazi’, ‘christian’, and ‘God’s revenge for…’ when you got nothing else. Claims of ‘left/right wing’ and ‘freedoms’ are slipping into that group.

Robert E Hartley writes of C. L. in his book The Dealmakers of Downstate Illinois. “. . . in 1956 he was elected to the state House of Representatives, where he learned from friends Powell and Choate. He occasionally voted with them in tghe prevalling mode of bipartisanship.”

I too was in a christian (catholic) school in 1981. It took more than 20 years for the abuse of one of our priests, the associate pastor, to come to full light even though some of us knew at the time.
I am not a supporter of religious schools or the falsely pious politicians to this day.

I suggest that Rep. McCormick file legislation to change the state slogan to “Land of Satan,” the state nickname to “The Satan State,” and the state motto to “Satan Sovereignty, Satan Union.”

I prefer liberalized liberals over radicalized right-wingers and day.

Gonna put it out there in this day in age requiring some things (like background checks) from everyone in that space isn’t a bad idea.

So…was he wrong?
Comment by allknowingmasterofraccoodom Friday, Oct 29, 21 @ 12:02 pm
I found out recently the church I was forced to attend as a child opened a school after I graduated from high school and my parents moved out of the area. It’s closed now, apparently because the minister’s wife was found to be plying underage boys with demon rum and having her way with them.

“So…was he wrong?”
Lemme tell you something about God-fearin’ C.L..
No state job in his district got filled lest his palm was greased.
In a long hx of Illinois political hucksters, C.L. stands behind none.

He was Howe to Dewey and Cheatum.

Given the extent to which the Catholic Church was enabling, shielding, and protecting child rapists this testimony hasn’t aged very well.

I was a reporter in the C.L. McCormick days. He was always good for a memorable sound bite. And his Gospel Sing political rallies were truly a site to behold.
