Why SEIU's Progress Illinois Picked PZ Meyers, A Bigot, to Smear Congressman Shimkus


Nothing must be held sacred. Question everything. God is not great, Jesus is not your lord, you are not disciples of any charismatic prophet. You are all human beings who must make your way through your life by thinking and learning, and you have the job of advancing humanity's knowledge by winnowing out the errors of past generations and finding deeper understanding of reality. You will not find wisdom in rituals and sacraments and dogma, which build only self-satisfied ignorance, but you can find truth by looking at your world with fresh eyes and a questioning mind. PZ Meyers

That's PZ Meyers - getting hip with the kids who have to take his class. He really does look like a four star jerk-off.

SEIU hired the kids of Progressive Privilege - e.g. Josh Kalven is the son of Jaimie Kalven a Hyde Park Brahmin and Pan-Activist - to really get a radical roux going in the Gumbo that is Illinois Democratic politics.

Traditional Democrats - smart and hard-working people - find themselves in the audience forced to cheer the Leftist bilge from the Cheering sections: bloggers and nuanced Democratic Party spin-medics. Kind of like baby Axelrods.

The new Nuance - requires spitters and whiners to fill the air-waves ( remember Milt Rosenberg's Show during the POTUS Campaign?) and troll all over the Blogoshere. The Nuance has journalists in the vest pocket already.

Progress Illinois is driven by humorless and arrogant young kids and subsidized with Union Dues paid by SEIU members who are not well-represented by that Monster PAC that masquerades as Labor Union - in my opinion. Here's Young Master Kalven's use of PZ Meyers with Dues Paying Memebership Money going to Young Master Kalven:

Biologist Smacks Down Shimkus Straw Man
by Josh Kalven on March 30, 2009 - 12:40pm

Late on Friday, we posted some video of GOP Rep. John Shimkus' ridiculous remarks at a Capitol Hill climate change hearing last week. In the days since, the two clips have been burning up the internet. They provoked great responses from Think Progress, Matt Yglesias, and The Washington Monthly. But the best rebuttal has to come from University of Minnesota-Morris biologist PZ Myers (pictured right) on the blog Pharyngula. Here he is on Shimkus' contention that capping CO2 emissions could have the unintended consequence of "taking away plant food" and "doing just the opposite of what the people who want to save the world are saying":



They were part of an orchestrated effort to smear Illinois Representative John Shimkus (R.IL 19th District - Central Illinois - Coal Country) - hell, until the soul-patch commandos got all over John Shimkus, I never gave the poor man a second thought.

Now, I really, really admire the guy. He was attacked for debunking the Cap and Trade Doctrine* which I believe to be a foolish and even stupid policy especially in the current economy - it will destroy the very weak Illinois Coal Industry.

In order to 'GET' Shimkus the beauties at Progress Illinois trotted out a biology teacher from Minnesota who hates all religion and got to be a loud mouth critic of GW Bush over Intelligent Design and etc. PZ Meyers is a nerdy little twerp who asked his students to sneak out a consecrated communion wafer.

Catholics ( Full disclosure I is one) believe God is present in the Consecrated Wafer as PZ calls it - Transubstantiation -His ( Christ's) body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the forms of bread and wine, the bread and wine having been transubstantiated, by God's power, into his body and blood.

PZ Meyers wanted a student to desecrate the Eucharist. He did not order his students to desecrate the Koran, like a heroic and very dead Danish film-maker happened to do, because in PC America PZ Meyers can desecrate the Eucharist of Catholics. Catholics are targeted by the hip - Bill Maher, HBO, MSNBC and the failing Chicago newspapers.

Catholics are anti-abortion, and against Gay Marriage and against Promiscuity in general. Hollywood needs all of the above. Big money.

The Pope and the Bishops can be mocked for speaking out on Catholic Doctrine. So can critics of Cap and Trade.

PZ Meyers is a cowardly, sad, over paid, but employed, self-absorbed punk. He is the perfect model of the American Progressive - secularists, hypocritical, and loud.

SEIU picked a plum with PZ Meyers.



*A central authority (usually a government or international body) sets a limit or cap on the amount of a pollutant that can be emitted. Companies or other groups are issued emission permits and are required to hold an equivalent number of allowances (or credits) which represent the right to emit a specific amount. The total amount of allowances and credits cannot exceed the cap, limiting total emissions to that level. Companies that need to increase their emission allowance must buy credits from those who pollute less. The transfer of allowances is referred to as a trade. In effect, the buyer is paying a charge for polluting, while the seller is being rewarded for having reduced emissions by more than was needed. Thus, in theory, those that can easily reduce emissions most cheaply will do so, achieving the pollution reduction at the lowest possible cost to society.

Congressman Shimkus Gets A Bum Rap from Local Paper






State Journal-Register Bernard Schoenberg sucks up to SEIU's Progress Illinois and MSNBC's Bloated Bathtub Resident Keith Olbermann instead of doing his job.

It may seem out of character for Republican U.S. Rep. JOHN SHIMKUS, R-Collinsville, to help disgraced former Democratic Gov. ROD BLAGOJEVICH with anything — but he did.

Yes, during a lull in the nationwide laugh-at-Blagojevich telethon, Shimkus admirably filled in as the Illinois politician caught in the media crosshairs, thanks to comments he made about global warming and God’s will during a U.S. House subcommittee hearing last week.

The discussion led to Shimkus “winning” the title of “worst person in the world” Tuesday night from Keith Olbermann of MSNBC.

And a number of Web sites, including www.progressillinois.com, sponsored by the Illinois State Council of the Service Employees International Union, have posted video of the discussion, which took place at the March 25 hearing of the U.S. House subcommittee on energy and environment of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.


Congressman John Shimkus is protecting his constituents from an idiotic economic strategy that will only increase the unemployed of Illinois and further diminish the Illinois Coal Industry -Cap and Trade is Stupid - It's The Economy!

President Obama is beholden to so many different radical leftist PACs that he is between a Poop and Sneeze.

Enviromentalists, Secularists, SEIU Sandinistas? Who can I turn to when No Body Needs Me?

Congressman Shimkus (R,IL) defends Illinois Coal and Illinois Taxpayers and gets attacked by SEIU and the MSNBC Tool Shed.

So what does State Journal and Register Ink-slinger Bernard Schoenberg do?

Well, I'll tell you what he did not do!

Schoenberg did not call Bob Gardiner**, President of ICG (Coal)- in Williamsville, IL , or Andrew Carter of Knight Hawk Coal inPercy, IL, or Mr. Van Villines of S-Coal Company in Elkville. That would be the Illinois Coal Producers, Bernard. That is on whom Cap and Trade would impact*.

So what does State Journal and Register Ink-slinger Bernard Schoenberg do?

He does a cut-and - paste Love Note of Progress Illinois the SEIU Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and America's # 1 Juice Bag Keith Olbermann
' vile nonsense, like a 3rd grade girl staring at a poster of the Jonas Brothers.

Way to suck up, Bernard!

Congressman Shimkus, nice work for Illinois and America!

Time for John Shimkus to Retire Dick Durbin!



John Shimkus has every crack-pot loudmouth in Illinois and beyond Blagoland calling for his scalp - the MSNBC Doublemint Twins - Butch Maddow and Tubs Olbermann - the SEIU Internet Comic Book :Progress Illinois -to name but a few. i.e. Keith Olbermann also named Shimkus last night's "Worst Person In The World" (the relevant section begins at the 3:15 mark): . . .During her recurring "GOP In Exile" segment, Rachel Maddow took aim at the downstate Republican's assertion that we are a "carbon-starved planet" . . .et . . .

In recent days, we at Progress Illinois and others in the left blogosphere have been slamming Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) for recent comments illustrating his climate change skepticism. So you can only imagine our embarassment after coming across this breaking news from the Christian Science Monitor:

In an unprecedented move Wednesday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee rescinded the Peace Prize it awarded in 2007 to former US vice president Al Gore and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, amid overwhelming evidence that global warming is an elaborate hoax cooked up by Mr. Gore.

We hope Rep. Shimkus accepts our deepest apologies
Yack, Yuck! That was for April Fools - they're only Funnin' - what a palm of pansies that floral Bouquet at Progress Illinois do be!

That is all to the good for me! This guy has just got to be Okay! When Progressives started to bad mouth Paul Vallas during his final days as CPS Chief - I knew that this was just the guy to be Illinois Governor. However, SEIU and the Boiled Beet Progressives of Illinois were Just Mad! Mad I tell You! for Blago!

We got Blago - didn't we Cupcakes? Progressives put Blago into Office. Way to go!

If Progressives detest John Shimkus, then this must be the man to rid Illinois of Dithering Dick Durbin! Or . . . take the seat away from that Tombstone of a Public Servant - the Junior U.S. Senator from Illinois the Guy Dick Durbin . . .what did he say about him? Give it a minute.

John Shimkus* has a Marquette Park name and 3rd District World View ( Pro-Real Labor; Pro-Life; Pro America) but comes from downstate Illinois - just like Dick Durbin.

Senator Dick Durbin is Joe Biden with the personality of a dial tone.

Senator Durbin speaks his mind. I defend Durbin's right to his opinion and wholly value his complete inability to articulate whatever the hell that might be.

John Shimkus is a Loogan ( Lithuanian) Lutheran (Catholic without Controversy) and a Republican ( 19th Ward Democrat without Obligations). I can work for this guy.


John Shimkus - You are Okay!

*The federal government has no business bailing out private sector companies, as we began doing last year. I voted against the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) or $700 billion Wall Street bailout.


Had we not bailed AIG out to the tune of $170 billion, we wouldn't have to worry about how much AIG employees get paid or $165 million in bonuses to people in the very unit of the company that caused these financial problems. But since the U.S. government now owns 80 percent of this company, we are compelled to make sure our tax dollars are protected.


Another major problem was additional government intervention in the stimulus bill, which I also voted against. Had the Democrat leadership given us proper time to read the bill, we would not be in the situation we are today. Democrats themselves admit they did not read the stimulus bill. And if we had not rushed it through, I am positive there would have been a prohibition against bonuses for companies receiving federal bailout assistance.


It is unfortunate that we didn't have that opportunity. It is unfortunate that the Treasury Department intervened through Sen. Dodd. It is unfortunate that we continue to spend tax dollars on buying private companies.

Congressman John Shimkus
