OK, I've just about had enough

I'm gonna unilaterally declare this an Obama-free zone or start kicking people off the island if the national echo chamber crap doesn't stop now.

This blog is called Illinoize, not Iraqinoize, not Australianoize. It is not an outlet to repeat something you saw on a national blog about a national or international issue. It is not an outlet to repeat national party talking points.

I refuse to allow this blog to be hijacked by people with a national ax to grind. This blog is supposed to be different. It is about ILLINOIS. Either preserve that unique difference or get the heck out.
