CARPENTERSVILLE, Ill. -- An Illinois delegate for presidential candidate Barack Obama resigned Tuesday after she used the word "monkeys" to describe black children playing in a tree.
Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski, a trustee in the Chicago suburb of Carpentersville, was issued a $75 ticket for disorderly conduct after neighbors complained to police. She says the word wasn't meant racially and she will fight the ticket. "Given the incident, Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski is stepping down as a delegate and will be replaced," said Obama spokeswoman Amy Brundage. (We asked why?) The incident took place Saturday, when two children were playing in a tree next door to Ramirez-Sliwinski's house. .She said the parents were outside supervising the children (we don't think so), but she went over and told them to get out of the tree because she was concerned about the boys' safety and because the small magnolia tree was being damaged. The father of one of the boys told her it was none of her business, she said, and "I calmly said the tree is not there for them to be climbing in there like monkeys." (So? They were climbing like monkeys. What kid hasn't climbed a tree?) The mother of one boy called police. .Cmdr. Michael Kilbourne said a ticket was issued because the ordinance bans conduct that disturbs or alarms people, and one of the boys told police he was scared by her comment. (We're willing to bet this was put into the little boy's head by his parents to make a scene when the police finally arrived.) Ramirez-Sliwinski says she doesn't plan to run for another term on the village board. Osama, oops, OBAMA, are you and your campaign that afraid of a simple comment by a concerned citizen for the safety of children, (any children no matter what skin color), that you would ask her to give up her position in your campaign? Every parent in the world who has had children often tell their kids to get the HELLO out of the trees because they weren't born "MONKEYS"..... They don't do it because of an ethnic slam at their children, but they do it to prevent spending hard earned money having that child stitched up or broken up.
MY GOOD GOD, GET OFF THE STINKING RACE GAME!

Sizzling, Cynical, Aggrevating, Ominus, Unrelenting, Intolerable, Uncaring, but realistic enough to know that we can be proven wrong. We (the spouse) and I are 2 different individuals who think different, but see the world through rose colored glasses. Each of us have our own idealisms on how the world should, could, or would be run, but we are not you. We are us. Don't think for a second that we can think as you. We are also full nudists who run a nudist organization here in Minnesota. We accept the belief that "if God had intended us to be clothed, we would have been born that way". It's our lifestyle. We hate clothing, we hate tan lines, and we believe that the sun is beneficial to the body.
