Confederate Railroad is a Southern country-rock band that’s been around for decades. Their songs include “White Trash With Money,” “She Took It Like a Man,” and “Trashy Women.” 
Slated to perform with other bands at the Du Quoin State Fair in August, the band was booted from the lineup owing to its
name and celebration of the Confederacy and rebel flag.
On the marquee to perform in Du Quoin, Ill., on Aug. 27, as part of a lineup billed as “’90s Country ReLoaded Day,” the state Department of Agriculture, which oversees the fair, ditched the band following a blog post where a writer asked readers to weigh in on the question of whether or not a band with Confederate battle flags on its album cover was an appropriate choice “for a show in Illinois, the Land of Lincoln, at a state-owned facility…”

    And Pritzker (remember all those ass kissing phone calls he made to Blagojevich looking for a position in state government) all of a sudden thinks he's the conscience of middle class America. In the past month we've seen Jumbo jubilant about signing abortion legislation and legalizing marijuana. He's just to phony and this pandering bullshit isn't really necessary, at least not for a few more years, when he can find other relatives to throw under the bus (remember him lamenting his late, mother, the alcoholic). The one thing Rauner had right was during the debate when he said JB never had a job in his life. From what we've seen of him so far, he should take his off shore millions, his non working toilets and go off to one of the family's hotels, and stay there.

      He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. But, I’m pretty sure most people who’ve lost both parents at a young age would tell you, they’d take their parents before their millions (or in this case, Billions).

      Money isn’t the answer to all woes, and as many people here lament about the fatherless communities on the south and west sides, many of these young dukes have plenty of money, but never had a father, and in many cases, not even a mother.

      Flame away. But I’m hardly a “libtard.”
