The Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit: ‘Avengers’ save the day in Wilmington

Some of the hidden improvements in the Ohio economy are from sectors most often statistically ignored, but are actually quite important. Many wondered why Glenn Beck came to Wilmington, Ohio during Christmas of 2010 when the town was on the decline after the DHL facility left taking most of the town’s jobs with it. CLICK HERE FOR A REVIEW. When Glenn Beck put Wilmington on prime time television with his popular television show he knew what many didn’t, that was inadvertently people who were movers and shakers in the world would learn of the resources available in such a small town and would be tempted to make investments in the community. A few years ago, quietly Republican Senator Tom Patton and Mike Dovilla introduced the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit to the legislature hoping to lure more motion picture development to Ohio, and sure enough film scouts for The Avengers gave the DHL facility in Wilmington a look finding the location ideal for filming the upcoming blockbuster in August of 2011.

Now in hind sight The Avengers is one of the most successful movies of all time. It has generated over one and a half billion dollars in worldwide sales with a production budget of well over $200 million and an additional quarter million dollars in advertising. In total The Avengers as a film production cost a half a billion dollars to create, but it made more than double that in profits which is a wonderful business venture. It would seem unlikely that such a large production would come to little old Wilmington, Ohio, but when film scouts learned that the DHL facility had it’s own airport, a fenced in area great for security, huge buildings that could be converted over into film sets easily all set in a community where hotel rates were not through the roof, plenty of restaurants for the cast and crew to eat at, and the locals were polite and easy to work with, Wilmington, Ohio was suddenly a very attractive option. But even more attractive were the tax rates in Ohio which caused the production company of The Avengers to pull from their previous locations in Michigan and to replace them with sites in downtown Cleveland, the NASA facility in Sandusky, and of course Wilmington. The deal closer was tax rates, and because Ohio has one of the most attractive tax packages in the whole country currently thanks to the two Republican senators, Ohio is winning film development projects. The Avengers production alone poured over $2 million dollars into the local economy during their three-month lease of the largest DHL building and their stay in Wilmington.

Now, progressive leaning people will utter that The Avengers has made over a billion dollars in ticket sales and it hasn’t even been released to home video yet. The Disney Company who owns Marvel Comic Motion Picture division and the distributors in Paramount Pictures will make well over $2 billion dollars on just this one movie, so why was the production company of The Avengers worried about a few percentage points of tax shelter? Well, because you never know what will happen and when investors are required to spend over $200 million up front to produce a movie, it is important to keep the budget tight in case the film goes bust and nobody shows up to see the film. Not all movies make as much money as The Avengers which has decades of built up fan base to tap into in order to recover their investment.

When local Cincinnati native George Clooney brought his film Eyes of March to Ohio and filmed around Cincinnati and Miami University he did so not just because it was in his home town, but because he wanted to take advantage of the Ohio Tax Credit. Clooney politically is a progressive stuck to President Obama’s hip, but when it comes time to produce a film, he knows how to think like a businessman, so he brought his film to Ohio to keep the production costs down because films like that do not make billions of dollars. Most of the time production companies are happy if they break even on the initial investment. Just because a movie is made does not guarantee that it will be profitable.

The gigantic epic John Carter made by the Disney Company just a few months before the release of The Avengers cost well over $250 million to make but American audiences completely rejected it. The film only made $73 million domestically. Many people lost their jobs over that production, you can bet on that. Disney was not happy, and they had every right to be. Lucky for them foreign audiences liked the film giving it an additional world-wide take of $200 million, which just barely put Disney over the top on their front end investment. Disney needed desperately for The Avengers to do well, to make up for their profit forecasts in 2012 and John Carter did not get them anywhere close. Just because a film makes nearly half a billion dollars, that does not mean much. When you watch a movie, look at the credits that usually go on for over six minutes and contain tens of thousands of names. All those people were employed by the film and they all get paid from the money generated at the box office. When a studio like Disney makes a profit, it allows them to take chances on movies that are risky on their investment, and that really helps producers create films that benefit the unique tapestry of American culture that we broadcast to the rest of the world.

When The Avengers came to Ohio they spent $25 million dollars and employed 3,800 residents on the economy. If during the filming of the movie a stunt man died, or a law suit came up over intellectual rights, the production would be put on hold and the investment money spent would end up in limbo. In many cases the money for a film is financed two years before a film ever ends up on the big screen, so the invested money is tied up for a long time leaving investors on pins and needles until the box office receipts begin to roll in. So tax rates are a big deal in film production.

California has priced themselves right out of the film business. Production companies used to love to leave their homes in the morning work all day then go home at night. But due to the tax rates around Hollywood, it’s cheaper to leave town to make a film in a place like Ohio than to make it at the traditional sound stages in California. Dark Knight Rises is another 1 billion dollar world-wide moneymaker and was filmed in Pittsburg. In fact, Heinz Field was the football stadium that was blown up in that movie. The Midwest is learning that by lowering their tax rates, they are able to lure Hollywood to the Midwest which is great for the economy of the fly over states. Not good for California that has one of the largest economies in the world, due in part to the movie business.

But it is taxes that drive the economy, or rather the lack of them. As much as advocates on the political left beat on their chest for tax increases, businessmen who run the movie business are not willing to toss money into a black hole that will cost thousands of people their jobs. So they take the path of least resistance just like every businessman with any sense. The higher the taxes the lower the business activity, it’s a very simple formula.

The formula has worked so well in Ohio that legislators have now DOUBLED their tax incentive in the wake of the overwhelming success of The Avengers. Click the article below to read more.

Because of this movie The Avengers filmed in Ohio, there will be more high-profile films that will come and spend hundreds of millions of dollars they won’t be spending in high tax states and cities. That is a wonderful thing for places like the DHL facility in Wilmington who is likely to see a major increase in activity at their small, sleepy town. The DHL facility could easily become the new Elstree Studios in England where the remote location, tax rates and facility usage are heads and shoulders above other locations. Not many film studios have their own airport, and the DHL facility does, which is unprecedented. Wilmington, Ohio could easily become the new Hollywood because of the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit, which would be far more valuable than the type of business that left the DHL facility in the first place and would restore to that town a greatness it has never known.

It was for reasons like that which drew Glenn Beck to Wilmington over two years ago, hoping that people who move money would take notice of the great attributes the small town in Ohio offered. What the production company making The Avengers was able to do within a week of filming at the DHL facility word will get out and many more films will follow. And that is the name of the game, where competition drives down the costs while productivity increases. Ohio is the example of how it’s done right, and the task for the rest of the world is to follow to the benefit of everyone else. And it all started with two Republican Senators who thought forward enough to offer the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit to an industry in Hollywood that is desperate to reform its costs for a changing marketplace.

The Muslim Brotherhood Goes to Washington: Speaker Boehner needs to stop sleeping

I found it surprising that my congressman Speaker Boehner is not up to speed that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government. He along with others appear to be in denial that Muslim extremists are tied very close to progressive politics and are determined to destroy America from within. So to bring Speaker Boehner and many others up to speed on information they may not have had time, or the political stomach to comprehend I am offering a series of radio interviews to watch below. The first is from my personal friend Matt Clark in Ann Arbor, Michigan on WAAM radio where he begins to peel back the layers of just how serious the situation really is.

Speaker Boehner and Senator John McCain has threatened Representative Michelle Bachman that they will remover he seat on the Intelligence Committee if she does not apologize to Anthony Wiener’s wife for a letter Bachman wrote questioning Huma Abedin’s parents ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Anthony Wiener was the former combative progressive congressman who had to leave his seat because he got caught tweeting pictures of his actual wiener to women on the internet. His wife is a Muslim who is a direct aid to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Below, Glenn Beck sets the stage on how much of a storm was created by Michelle Bachman’s simple letter.

Where there is much anger over seemingly trivial issues, there is fire that nobody knew was burning. Whatever deals have been made between network heads and politics are not deals that are conducive to the American population if radicals wish to sing our nation to sleep with siren songs of peace while sharpening their swords on our chins. I would find it hard to believe that Speaker Boehner is on the direct call list of the Muslim Brotherhood. Rather, I would think that he believes he’s playing by the rules of politics. Unfortunately, those rules have been quietly established by those same Muslim infiltrators.

Playing nice politics will not lead America to victory which is what I think politicians like Boehner and McCain believe they are doing. They believe they should take the high road and not subscribe to wild theories. I believe they are simply naïve. But Michelle Bachman as a member of the Intelligence Committee has an obligation to defend the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic, and she is up in arms that known terrorists have been flown to The White House on the tax payer dime to meet directly with the President while she is being attacked from members of her own party for calling attention to the issue.

It is difficult to look at aspects of our friendships and political connections and assess the true value. Not the value we wish it to be, but the actual value. When a man wishes to sleep with a woman just for the sex of it, he might tell her he loves her, he might wine and dine her, he might buy her nice jewelry, but once the man has obtained his sex, the true nature of the relationship will be revealed. The woman may wish to believe the man loved her, but the reality is all he wanted was sex. In the case of the Muslim Brotherhood, they are very pleasant and say all the right things to the people they come into contact with. Members of the American government have been seduced by the charming Muslim Brotherhood radicals.

To people on the outside we can see clearly what’s happening. We don’t care if Weiner’s wife is the friend of John McCain. John may be letting his desire to believe his dear friend is completely clean and wants to be his friend because she genuinely likes him, taint his judgment. Other politicians who have similar friendships with Muslim Brotherhood members no doubt believe they are dealing with friends. But remember the story about the man who only wants to get a woman in bed, and once he does, the relationship goes downhill, and the woman will often find herself on the outside looking in used and abused. The Muslim Brotherhood wants an end to the American way of life and they don’t care how they bring it about. Like the man who simply wants sex, the Muslim Brotherhood will say and do anything to achieve their objective. It is the politicians who find themselves the targets of affection as their social simplicity leaves them defenseless against such charms.

I would suggest that Speaker Boehner not take for granted the evidence that is all around him. And he should not side himself against Bachman who is simply trying to do the right thing which her seat mandates. Playing politics plays into the plans of the Muslim Brotherhood. They count on such predictable behavior to launch their agenda against a sleepy society. But not everyone is asleep. And Speaker Boehner, it’s time to wake up and see things for what they are. These are not peaceful times conducted by peaceful people. And the Muslim Brotherhood is not your friend. All they want from you is your head on a pike, and they will do it the moment they get a turned back, and an open moment.

Moving “Forward” at Lakota, and Moving “Forward” with Obama: Communist propaganda from Chicago

You might have noticed dear reader that the Obama campaign slogan of “FORWARD” is precisely the same campaign slogans used in many public school tax campaigns, most notably in the last Lakota Levy attempts of 2011. The word FORWARD, for those who study marketing and the meanings of non-verbal communication are designed to click in the human subconscious predictable behavior patterns that are induced upon civilization from our collective education in public school.

What many do not know is that through labor unions communist propaganda has been alive in The United States since the mid 1800’s. In the Mary Day Editorial from the “Alarm,” 1886 it states, “Bravely forward! Workmen, let your watchword be: no compromise! The first of May, whose historical significance will be understood and appreciated only in later years, is here.” This was communist propaganda well before the Russian revolution as Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto swept across Europe. In the United States it came behind the curtain of capitalism through the labor movement, and in Chicago it was Frank Marshall Davis who started a communist newspaper called The Chicago Star in the 1940’s advancing the communist agenda in America. Davis was the personal mentor of Barack Obama and was so close to the modern day president that many speculate that Davis is actually Obama’s real father. Frank Marshall Davis was a die hard communist that openly embraced hard core Soviet propaganda during the height of the Cold War. In 1948 David Canter purchased The Chicago Star from Davis. Canter was the mentor to the modern day David Axelrod who is one of the closest Obama advisors to this very day. Axelrod is the man responsible for many of the modern progressive slogans that are tested to invoke controlled responses among voters, and “FORWARD” is one of the most powerful communist key words used in political campaigns.

The Chicago Star used often the word “FORWARD” in its communist articles which labor unions read and copied for their own terrorism activity openly undermining capitalism. The idea of moving “forward” has become over the years to be the term most favorable to the progressive political philosophy which subtly indicates that the silly old concepts that built our county should be advanced forward away from the “old” in favor of the “new.”

Since labor unions were reading publications like The Chicago Star they used the word “forward” to push contract negotiations beyond rational analysis coupled with the threats of labor strikes to win their extortion racket against employers. It was the communist Frank Marshall Davis who resurrected the communist propaganda from pre Soviet Union days to invoke the same type of revolution in The United States as occurred in Russia in 1919. Teachers unions in particular would adapt these tactics to advance public education as the primary teaching method in America so that once the government was primarily influenced by communist thinking, the next generation of children would be taught communist propaganda by a dedicated government endorsed workforce, the public school teacher.

In 1979 The Department of Education was created to solidify this long term plan of the gradual socialization of education, and bringing all the bright eyed teachers under the umbrella of communist thought by disguising it as progressive liberalism. Many of the radical union leaders were openly Marxist thinkers utilizing communist propaganda that was coming out of Cuba, and from the papers of Frank Marshall Davis. Common among these communists are ideas that businesses are bad, taxes should increase progressively, and property is community owned. Once the national teachers unions had control of the newly created Department of Education, they could set the communist agenda and fulfill all the points created in the book The Naked Communist (CLICK HERE TO SEE MUCH MORE). To this day, a majority of the American population has been exposed to communism through their public school to such an extent that communism controls the message completely from the media of people’s televisions to the individual doorways of virtually every home in every school district in the entire country.

When my school district of Lakota paid over $12,000 on a consulting firm to tell them how to pass a school levy in spite of the resistance the group I was working with placed in front of them, the progressive think tanks they hired gave them the campaign slogan “Move Forward” which was stupid. The Lakota Pro Tax people because of their decision would have to replace all their previous signs from their other tax increase attempts, which seemed like a waste of money. But the progressive groups that have studied the work of David Axelrod, and the writing of Saul Alisnsky to run political campaigns in a local school district came up with the term “Move Forward.”

Anytime the word “FORWARD” is used that’s the key declaration indicating your local school is connected to large progressive politics that has its roots in open communist propaganda. When you hear the word “FORWARD” in national campaign, like President Obama, it is used to tap into the communism that has been taught to us in public school.

For proof, Obama and the many public schools that he regards in such high esteem will not deny communism. They will say that accusations like the ones I have made are ridiculous, but they cannot defend their position, since it is communism that they have always advocated. When my home school district of Lakota hired a new superintendent, and that employee advocated her education agenda would be a “global” one, she was uttering her intentions to spread communism. She wouldn’t call her teaching communism, she would most likely consider it progressive, and politically, she may even think she’s a Republican, but her belief system in public education has been shaped by the system of communism which thrives in virtually every labor union in America. Labor unions were not built on patriotism in America, but on the utterances of communism such as the statement from 1886 mentioned above.

The giveaway is in the use of communist key words such as “Forward,” in any campaign literature. Behind every campaign specialists are very aware of every word used to frame their position. With Mitt Romney the slogan is “Believe in America” because they must tap into the revelations that our current president is a passive member of Communist Party USA inspired by his hero Frank Marshall Davis. Romney’s campaign is tapping into the subtle knowledge that “Moving Forward” takes America toward socialist Europe. It would be unlikely that any candidate that is not an extreme progressive with communist sympathies would use the word “Forward” in their campaign. Anytime it is seen, it should be understood that the term “FORWARD” is intended to unmake America into something else. That’s the intention, and the seeds for that transformation were given to every member of society that attended public education. That grim knowledge is a difficult reality to come to terms with, but the facts and history are easy to see for those who do not find it inconvenient to see the world with open eyes.

For more on the term “Forward” check out this Washington Post article:

The Heart of Freedom: How to avoid being a slave

It is sad to see a man wither under the ominous storm clouds of his occupation. In between breaks, he migrates, half-asleep, with one eye fixed on the clock that will liberate him. No longer selling his time, he claims his freedom from the shackles of employment only after the bell rings. Upon such sleepy minds grow the roots of tyranny.

That paragraph is very first lines of exhibition from my new novel Tail of the Dragon. I do not include it here as just a promo for that new book but to articulate an issue that means a great deal to me. In fact, this book is the next logical step in my arguments over why high taxation is irresponsible, encroaching government is dangerous, and the need for human beings to function from their own accord is of paramount importance. Because the crucial issue of our day that is at the crux of the school levy problems, the expansion of government, politicians making deals with other countries in Rio over Agenda 21, Duke Energy and their “smart meters,” a failing economy, racism, and virtually every other modern problem is the idea of modern slavery. In that regard, there is only one other person besides me that I know of who feels virtually the same way about the impact of modern slavery and what the definition of it is as Glenn Beck, seen in the video below.

The purpose of my new book is to put on the table what many people suspect about themselves, but can’t quite get their minds around, the idea that they are modern slaves. In America we have allowed skin color to define the idea of slavery, and that is simply one barbaric form of slavery. The rest of America is enslaved by monetary debt, social expectation, and personal addictions which goes beyond the accepted definitions but are ultimately proper. With so many Americans victims of modern slavery, the idea of freedom is a far-fetched concept so they don’t know how to defend it.

Most people I know do not think they are so far in debt that they can’t even fathom real freedom, but they are. Most of them rely on a spouse for 40 to 50% of their household income which is cutting things too close, because many Americans find they cannot distinguish their inability to make plans for their own lives because they must have their jobs just to provide the basics in living requirements. To compensate for their lack of freedom, most people purchase material items to balance out their lack of options with the illusion of financial purchasing power. But it is just an illusion. The ability to buy a new purse, or go out to eat cannot compensate for the freedoms lost in providing a primary, or secondary income. Unfortunately, these days most Americans have accepted this as a reality.

In my new book the word freedom is used 23 times and I place many scenarios on the table to display how important it is to our every day lives and to what extent people are willing to fight for it. In my book, the characters are already close to freedom in their own lives, so they easily recognize encroachments on it, so they know when it’s time to fight. Most people however are so in debt morally and financially that they view new debt as just one more link in their personal chains, and they don’t take it too seriously.

This is why most people vote in favor of new taxes for schools, or for street cars—or police and fire levies, because people strapped for resources often can be made to feel that voting for tax increases are something they control in their lives, and they feel good to give money away to causes that exist outside of their meager lives. But the situation is the trick of parasites in government, because they are simply taking advantage of people already enslaved who have a tendency out of habit to say, “Yes sir, yes master. I will pay the new tax if it pleases you.” The taxpayer simply puts the new tax on their credit card because they put everything else there. They are already so far in debt morally and physically that one more link in the chain means nothing to them.

This is also why politicians in Rio, Brazil thought nothing of negotiating in favor of regulations in the fulfillment of United Nations Agenda 21 requiring Americans to pawn away more of their freedoms to make it happen. Such things are just a few more links in the chains of slavery and people already enslaved will not have the mental capacity to even comprehend how these impositions into their freedoms will alter their lives, and their children’s lives. It’s very hard for most people to admit that they are modern-day slaves when they have expendable income to go to a baseball game and eat a hot dog, or to visit a strip joint and pay for a lap dance. Most Americans would consider a trip to Las Vegas to be a wonderful vacation, but Vegas is a town of slavery. It requires gamblers to spend $2000 to $10,000 on a chance to break free of their daily slave driven routines in hopes of winning a jackpot. It requires thousands of employees to sell themselves cheaply as entertainers and servers. And it requires prostitution to one degree or another particularly from women. Las Vegas is the home of the modern showgirl, whether she’s a topless dancer, or an escort, sex is a form of human slavery. It’s what a woman who wishes to use the basic primal instinct of men needing physical sex as a way to fund the woman’s life that she selects as her chain. The allure of Vegas is the chance to be superior to other slaves for a change, and a chance to become free by luck—even if it’s just for a few hours. Vegas would not be such a popular destination if most Americans did not see themselves slaves in their own lives. Vegas and gambling in general are symptoms of modern-day slavery.

Slavery is so common today that nobody even considers it as abnormal. Instead, they look jealously at others who demand freedom and they become angry with them. The views in my book are of course the same as my own in relation to what a man’s relationship to his wife should be. In Tail of the Dragon there is a lot of talk about the main characters decision to make it so his wife does not have to work for a living. I have always viewed forcing a wife to work as a weakness of the modern man. If women want to work for their own identities, that’s one thing. But to force a woman to work because the family is too far in debt or because their cell phone packages are expensive, cable bills, dining expectations, and other material needs are ridiculously high, because most women would prefer not to be a part of the rat race. Most people view their jobs as an unhappy daily endeavor, so to compel two parents to such a life is foolish—then to ask public education to cover the emotional gaps that children require is like asking the slave master to raise the child of the slave. Most families make the choice openly, because they don’t know how to say no to family members, to neighbors, to friends, or to politicians.

I have never required my wife to work. She has at a few times in the past, but I never expected her to. I always viewed her as a part of me, so it was always an act of rebellion to know that at least she could wake up in the morning on her own terms, go to the store whenever she wanted and pretty much design her daily schedule anyway she desired. Anyone who raises a family knows how tough it can be to pay a mortgage, car payments, weekly food expenses and the enormous amounts of insurance that are required these days. But it was always my gift to her to keep her as free of that burden as possible.

Of course family members and friends never understood. They always felt they needed to inject themselves into our lives to explain that we were doing it all wrong, and as a woman she needed to have her “own thing.” I would tell them they were dead wrong and out of their minds and often these arguments would cause rifts that would last forever. I was always willing to bend and put on the shackles for the sake of my family, but I was never willing to put my wife through the same ordeal. The basic argument against my wife and my decisions were that the rest of society were doing things a certain way, and as progressive politics intended the destruction of the American family, they wanted the mothers out of the house and busy with chains of their own they could have unfettered access to the children through public education.

If that sounds like a sinister plot from a James Bond movie, that’s because it is—it’s the result of a philosophy that embraces collectivism. No one person comes up with the plan, but in the case of collectivism, it is an unconscious commitment to the destruction of the American family and the indoctrination of the youth into service of the collective whole, much the way oriental cultures are structured that is the real villain. Destruction of the individual for the sake of the collective whole is the goal, and in such a society slavery is not a big deal—because individuals are not important so long as the collective lives. In collectivist societies it is not called slavery, it is called an occupation. The occupation serves the collective society, not the individual performing the task. This is an important distinction.

Most Americans know and feel what I’m saying, but they cannot come to grips with it. They have no definitions in their daily dialogue that articulates their feelings about it. So they go through the motions and do pretty much what they are told—even though they suspect that it’s wrong somehow.

I have always questioned the rationality of this behavior. To me, a government bureaucrat does not have a right to manage my life for me by approving taxes with this collectivist’s mentality. They do not have a right to put a “smart meter” on my home so they can track my energy usage and sell that information to others interested in watching me. They do not have a right to tell me how to educate my children; they do not have a right to approve a new deck I might want to build. They do not have a right to decide from a far away land what I should do to care for the earth. They do not have a right to decide that I should buy insurance of any kind. They do not have a right to pull me over to see if I’m wearing a seat belt. They do not have a right to demand I enslave myself more to pay for the debts they incur with their reckless diatribes. To me I see the slavery clearly because I work every day to not be a slave. I do not spend any of my time trying to figure out what others might think of my behavior, because my entire being is all about not acting as a slave to anyone else. So it’s obvious.

I see the understanding of living free and being a slave as the most important distinction in front of America today. Accepting the $15 trillion-dollar deficit is accepting slavery. Not accepting the debt is to do as I do and that is to write and pick on those who make decisions which attempt to put more shackles on my freedom through their ignorance. Without that basic understanding Americans are just deer in the headlights of the oncoming crash that will pummel them at some point in their lives through their own inaction. To decide to avoid responsibility for one’s own freedom and to willingly put on the shackles of slavery because of laziness is irresponsible and quite tragic. Such types do not have the right to impose upon me or my family their laziness by accepting slavery through collectivism then demanding my participation into their evil acts.

To know if you are a slave or not, think how you feel when you get up in the morning and who decides what you will do and when you will do it. Then look at all those influences in your life that plan entire weekends for you without your input. If the answer is that most of the times you do what others tell you, then you are a modern slave. Asking such people to sympathize and appreciate freedom is a far-fetched stretch that is beyond their comprehension. That is why the concept of freedom is so important to me, and why I discussed it so intensely in my new novel. It’s also why Glenn Beck is one of the only modern commentators who deal with the issue directly—because it’s an obscure concept—freedom. We all talk about it, but few of us actually have it, mostly due to self-imposed tragedies where the chains were put on our legs out of fear and a desire for safety—then we wonder why the government is so big, and arrogant, because we made them that way out of laziness—without defending freedom.

Freedom isn’t about firing off fireworks, or having the option of going shopping whenever one wants. It’s much more complicated, and all-encompassing than that. Freedom is about responsibility, and courage which are required to feed such a mythical creature. Without those two ingredients, freedom dies through neglect and the chains of slavery are attached to its body out of fearful superstition that the individual would ever stop supporting the collective without a sense of guilt, and desire to be removed from the body of unified entities under the umbrella of utopian socialism.

Larry Schweikart’s Opinion: The first blurb for “Tail of the Dragon”

One of my favorite books is A Patriot’s History of the United States published in 2004 by Larry Schweikart co-written with Mike Allen which became the #1 bestseller for not only the New York Times, but also Amazon.com. It is my very strong belief that Larry’s Patriot’s History should be the official textbook of history taught in every school in America. Most American’s thought the same thing, which is why it is still easy to find in the history section of most bookstores. That book by itself has done much to undo many of the progressive myths imposed on American culture with the intention of eradicating the concept of exceptionalism from our dialogue. It took a while for American’s to discover the book, but once they did, there were stacks of these large blue books piled upon the entrance to my local bookstore that delighted me immensely.

My youngest daughter bought it for me on my 41st birthday as I had been dropping hints that it was all I wanted. Once I received it, I spent a month devouring it, and it still sits on a bookshelf within reach for my constant reference. Larry has went on to author several other books, What would the Founders Say?: A Patriot’s Answers to America’s Most Pressing problems, Seven Events That Made America America: And Proved That the Founding Fathers Were Right All Along, and 48 Liberal Lies About American History.

Eight days ago my publisher sent me a couple comp copies of my newest book Tail of the Dragon ahead of the usual galley’s upon my request. As part of my contract with American Book, they send upon completion of all the pre-production tasks an official copy of the book as galleys are then sent out for reviews and blurbs obtained since books typically sell based on opinion. The galleys aren’t due to arrive till after the Fourth of July and it looks like the official release date is set to be September 4th. During this process a book is then registered with all the book distributers so book stores know how to access it for their stock. Being a fan of Larry’s I had contacted him months ago to see if he would be willing to give me a blurb, which he gracefully accepted. But he also warned me that he was very picky, and that if he did not like the book, he would not give me a blurb.

So of course sending him my book was risky since if he told me he didn’t like it, it would not only be disappointing from marketing standpoint since he is a bestselling author, but he’s also someone I respect, so a rejection from him would have been even more difficult. When the books arrived, I sent one immediately to Larry and braced myself.

Before leaving town with my wife on Friday June 22, 2012 Larry wrote me to say that he had made it through the first part and that so far so good, which meant a lot since he didn’t have to assure me of anything. I spent every minute of my trip out-of-town thinking about whether or not Larry was going to continue enjoying Tail of the Dragon once he got into the really intense stuff which happens about halfway through the book. Everyone who had read Tail of the Dragon so far had loved the book, but Larry is a history professor and has been there and done much in publishing and media relations. My ending to Tail of the Dragon is very severe which is a delicate balance that can be tricky to walk, so I spent the whole weekend worried.

When I arrived home and sat down to check my email, I saw I had a note from Larry. I was relieved to open it and see that Larry enjoyed the book and gave me a nice blurb that can be seen below. This is officially the first of my blurbs, and it won’t be the last. But it is one that I wanted for more than one reason. I was delighted with Larry’s impression of the novel since Tail of the Dragon goes into deep analysts on life and the roles of freedom, but at the same time is light-hearted and fun. For the majority of people who don’t care as deeply about those topics as I do, they will most likely read the book for entertainment first, introspection second, and Larry hit perfectly the kind of impression I had been trying to create, which means that most readers will come away with a similar impression.

With Tale of the Dragon, Rich Hoffman combines NASCAR, Rebel Without a Cause, and Smokey and the Bandit. If you like fast cars, and hate speed traps, this is the book for you. And just every once in a while, any real American wishes he had a Firebird like the one in Tale of the Dragon.

Larry Schweikart Co-author, A Patriot’s History of the United States

The setup to the storyline in Tail of the Dragon involves a history of progressive politics and the way it functions. It also involves a back story involving Andrew Jackson which obviously Larry is an expert, so there were things that if I got them wrong, he could have easily rejected. So the blurb he gave me is one that I treasure immensely. It’s much easier to do these kinds of things when you don’t care what somebody thinks, and most of the time I don’t. For me the risk is when I deal with other writers whose work I admire greatly because you want to come away from such correspondence with good footing, otherwise the rejection will resonate every time you read a future book of theirs, and books are as important to me as breathing. So getting a blurb from Larry was a bit of personal risk for me.

So thank you Larry for taking the time out of your busy schedule to give Tail of the Dragon a read, and for the very nice comments. I wrote what I liked, and the hope is that others will share in that passion. The risk is that the fine line between intensity, entertainment and ridiculousness does not get jeopardized along the way which violates the connection a reader has to the world you try to build for them. Larry’s blurb summarized for me what others not familiar with the book will feel when they read it as well. I intentionally did not tell Larry much in advance so not even knowing upon receipt if it’s just another political science entry, or some fantasy epic, he came away with the basic impressions I was trying to create, and lent his valuable name to Tail of the Dragon.

Glenn Beck Gives Birth to a Nation: “COWARDS” a truly sexual experience

Because I’m in the process of doing the work with my own publisher of putting my second book into book stores and going about the task of obtaining blurbs and reviews prior to the book’s release, I was in Barnes and Noble about the time that Glenn Beck’s new book COWARDS was being stacked on the shelf. I had to take a minute to admire what Glenn Beck has done in America because in spite of what political opponents of Beck think about the popularity of his radio show and his TV work at CNN, Fox News, and now his revolutionary GBTV series, Beck’s real influence is elsewhere. They miss the power of Beck and what he’s been able to accomplish in just one decade of very hard work. Beck will go down in history for what he has done in the book publishing industry. His work as an author is tremendous but his work as a publisher will be imposing. I was impressed to hold his new book in my hand and examine the quality of it, and consider the cost of manufacture, the pricing, the ability to impact so many distribution outlets so quickly, but more than that—to fill the incredible demand for his books that sell in the millions.

I had spent three years preparing my latest book, and this sales phase that I’m in now is very time-consuming, and laborious, so I appreciate what it takes to deliver a book like COWARDS to book stores—how many advance sales must be generated, how much advertising is spent upon the book’s release, and all the people who are involved. Beck these days has many employees to help him get his message out, and much to his credit, he has not become complacent, or egotistical in his ability to deliver his message, but it wasn’t always that way. Beck wrote his first book in 2003, and has consistently produced books every year since. These days he puts out two books a year and now COWARDS follows his very good book Being George Washington. Glenn Beck’s books are wonderfully written and make complicated information accessible to the average person, so they sell like hot cakes.

Beck is close to my age, so I can speak authentically about the conditions that brought about the current revolution that is occurring which I credit primarily on Glenn Beck’s books. When books sell to millions of readers, the author will affect the culture of civilization and no author currently sells as well as Glenn Beck does, which truly must infuriate the political left. For many years the left through their penetration of the publishing industry, domination of television, and the film industry have been able to control the messages and take America in directions the majority didn’t want to go. But because many intelligent people in America liked to read, watch TV, and see movies, they filtered out the socialist propaganda as best they could, but yearned for entertainment that spoke about their concerns. The entertainment industry and other media outlets denied Americans what they hungered for.

I know many, many people my age who have been screaming at the top of their lungs for two decades now for the kind of material Glenn Beck is putting out. Back then there was nobody to listen. Media outlets would ignore press releases. Manuscripts were shoved into closets. Screenplays were rejected because they didn’t match the progressive vision of modern Hollywood, and nobody would book a public speaker with a conservative message. The progressive media outlets educated in the university system shaped by the modern socialists looked down their noses at anyone who spoke about traditional American values.

What Glenn Beck has done is give life to a movement that was long suppressed. The best way I can think to articulate the situation is to compare it to sex. I have often felt that the fight to penetrate that egg of American value of which the progressive institutions protected so furiously was like the egg inside a female body seeking to be penetrated by a sperm and seeded with the second half of what it needed to make a human being. In sex it takes millions of sperm to swarm around the egg and only one typically penetrates so that pregnancy can occur. The rest will fall short even if they reach the outer shell of the egg. For many years this has been the frustration. We would get to the egg, and find it nearly impossible to penetrate.

Progressives just like in sex would seek to use birth control to keep the sperm from ever getting to the egg. Instead the freedom fighters of tradition would find themselves caught in the end of a rubber condom to be thrown away uneventfully, or progressives would seek to keep an egg from even arriving, so that pregnancy could not occur. Glenn Beck from a Tampa radio station was one of the first to fully penetrate the egg in modern American culture. Before him a few got through, but the pregnancy did not take fully. With Beck, the egg became a much more complicated entity, and within a fairly short time, birth has been given to a new day in America. Traditional American values now have a voice and it is learning to talk, walk, and fight.

The growth of this movement is being fed by Glenn Beck’s books, and it’s very hungry. Progressives truly hoped that by denying food it would starve to death. But Beck through a combination of luck, and talent has used his abilities to his maximum range to create a new life for America.

Now that the new birth in America has occurred, those voices who have tried for so long to break through are suddenly finding they can penetrate eggs of their own. I know many freedom fighters now that are writing books, giving speeches around the country, and doing their own version of what Beck achieved. They are not copies of Beck, but simply following like angry warriors through the crack in the wall exposed by Beck’s penetration into the marketplace dominated by progressive politics.

By doing the math, the political left will not survive. That does not mean everyone can go back to sleep. The battles still have to be fought. But the amount of material that is pouring into book stores and media outlets are now beginning to overwhelm the sad little messages of socialism that progressives have been advocating against the conscious will of most Americans. Beck’s books would not sell if Americans rejected their message, and what has happened is like a hungry fetus, Americans were starving for what Beck had to say, and they buy his books by the truckload. No progressive entertainer has been able to achieve the same impact. No college professor, no rock star, no scandalous actress, no left leaning politician, no left leaning radio host, nobody. The reason is the message of the progressive is weak, and Beck’s material contains a truth that most people always suspected, but were denied by the controls within the media culture.

In 2004 when I released my book The Symposium of Justice, I had a God awful time getting it even made, let alone put into a book store. I had to self-publish it because no publisher in their right mind would attempt to place it on a book shelf or put their name behind it. Nobody would publicly say they liked it even though privately they spoke very highly of it. TV would not cover it, radio didn’t know how to discuss it, and industry professionals would proclaim that it was out of step with the “mood of the nation.” What they meant was that is wasn’t progressive enough. So I spent my own money and put it out myself, which was a good decision. It took enormous work to get that far, and because of it, to this very day it’s still available to people who have slowly taken to it—which I knew would be the case.

My new novel Tail of the Dragon was accepted by American Publishing as one of their 80 titles out of several thousand they are producing in 2012. As they sent me the contract, I realized that times had changed in America. Just 6 years prior a publisher wouldn’t even consider such a manuscript as mine that features a rebellious journey against the growing public sector, advocating smaller government–and even had a Spirit of 76 flag painted on top of the protagonist’s car to reflect his patriotic values. The acceptance of Tail of the Dragon by a legitimate publisher comes from a publishing industry that sees how Glenn Beck has changed the business of publishing, and book stores are learning what big business traditional literature is for a public hungry for it.

At a recent meeting I attended I held in my hand the 2009 book by Matt Meyer called Homeland Security and Federalism: Protecting America from Outside the Beltway. I had serious doubts that a very statistical book like that one could have been published much earlier than it was, because Matt is one of those freedom fighters that I share a lot in common. He had been knocking around for a long time trying to get into the egg only to find himself one of the many who were directed away from fertilization due to many opposing forces. Matt is important to me because it was his data at The Buckeye Institute that I used to combat the Lakota School Levy issues over the last couple of years, because Matt made the numbers accessible for others to analyze and act upon. Prior to The Buckeye Institute the information was much more difficult to get. Matt Meyer is part of a new group of freedom fighters that are filling the voids that Beck has not been able to cover–the individual statewide issues throughout the country. But he’s not alone. It is my opinion that because of Glenn Beck fertilizing that egg protected by progressive politics, America has a new defender in the form of a growing movement and it desires to be fed by Glenn Beck books and the fresh work by people like Matt Meyer, and Nick Gillespie of Reason Magazine, and Matt Kibbe of Freedom Works, who now boast over a million members. Before Beck’s astounding success, those voices were stuffed into the end of a condom and suppressed uneventfully, but they did not give up. They kept swimming, and trying to escape, and kept pushing away at the walls of progressive politics, and finally those walls are caving in.

Glenn Beck’s book COWARDS looks like it will have the same type of impact that his book BROKE had, which put on the table the crises of the national deficit well before time has run out. As Europe flounders in emergency status because of their commitments to socialism, America has a chance to turn things around primarily because Glenn Beck put the issue on the table with that wonderful book BROKE. Within a year of that book’s release congress put forward the Ryan Plan to seriously take a stab at solving the American debt crises—which is still a long way from being solved. But Beck’s books have a continuing impact on America and the people of our nation that truly deserves celebration.

Progressives have figured out how to manipulate voting by catering to women bloc groups, Hispanics and other minorities, along with civil rights issues to twist the desires of the average American into electing the kind of politicians they desire. But Americans truly vote when they plop their money down for a new book. And these days, most of the time the books that leave a book store are those written and published by Glenn Beck—and that is a very good thing. Because that is the indication of what the true feelings are in America, and what they still value in spite of 100 years of progressive undermining with prevention of cultural penetration. The penetration happened anyway, and now there’s no stopping it. The progressive way of life will be rejected by the masses of American culture, and our nation will recover much to the disappointment of the utopians who will wonder how their condom broke and they found themselves pregnant with a life they did not intend.

Unions Spent $63 Million in Wisconsin: Cutting off the head of a snake

This Glenn Beck clip was actually done before the recall election attempt in Wisconsin of Scott Walker but has some wonderful facts that need to be remembered. Now that the unions have lost the election and spent $63 million dollars on a losing effort, and membership is declining fast the progressive left is getting desperate. But their old tricks are now seen and understood by generations who have paved over the thuggish tactics, and they are no longer working.

Be sure to send this to a friend to ensure that the methods of union rule finally come to an end. If a snake comes onto your property or slithers near a loved one, you would not let it go to bite them later. The head of the snake must come off to allow the tail to swing about aimlessly to eventually die, because the snake of labor unions are communism in a capitalist America, and they cannot be allowed to live on. They have shown they cannot coexist without being predators on capitalism, so they leave no choice.

S.E. Cupp versus Larry Flynt: The real story behind Hustler Magazine

If a professional athlete wears an Under Armor muscle shirt in the world of progressive politics they are considered heroes. If I wear the same exact shirt during my whip video titled A Whip Trick to Save America I am called a “wife beater” because the shirt is offensive and reminiscent of the strong types of men who are against feminism and therefore an enemy to the progressive feminists. The term “wife beater” and “woman hater,” are thrown in my direction because I stand in the way of the feminist agenda. When it became known to me that progressive advocates were at my local grocery store surveying people, “what do you think of Rich Hoffman,” in an attempt to harm my reputation I responded by calling them “latté sipping prostitutes.” They responded by pushing the buttons of every media source in the city of Cincinnati to their cause in an attempt to derail me by turning all the women of West Chester against me in one collective blob of bloc voting, in a campaign to paint me as a “woman hater.”

It was the first time I’ve seen the scam of the so-called “war on women” up close, where progressive politicians like President Obama and school board superintendents like Lakota’s Karen Mantia use women as a bloc voting group playing on their emotions to advance private progressive policies. Unlike most conservative commentators, I do not fear the “wrath of the women” as my counterparts do, because I have admitted to myself that the entire movement is a scam, and deserves an eye for an eye. I’m tired of seeing conservatives apologize for being right and being ridiculed as insensitive or called other derogatory names to force them out of the public light leaving the progressive blob unopposed on the battlefield of ideas.

Once again, and quite audaciously the progressive mob has struck again, most notably against the GBTV commentator and conservative author S.E. Cupp. Cupp is a very talented young lady who is extremely strong in her political ideas and personal beliefs. If all women thought as she did, The United States of America would be so much better off as a society. She reminds me of the types of female characters that were popularized by the great novels of Ayn Rand who is another enemy of the feminist movement. Ayn Rand was a strong female author whose philosophy offers a real fix to American ideology. If the feminist movement was truly about strengthening the power of women in the world, women like Ayn Rand and S.E. Cupp would be placed on a pedestal and not attacked as profusely as they are. That is because feminism is not about strengthening women; it’s about weakening them and making them collectively dependent on government services therefore carrying out the desires for socialism in progressive politics.

Cupp was attacked most recently by one of Obama’s biggest supporters Hustler publisher Larry Flynt in a recent fantasy edition where they took images of S.E. Cupp and PhotoShopped in a sexual act to plant in the mind of their readers a deflowered, diminished woman fallen from grace. This isn’t the first time Flynt has done this. He often offers rewards to mistresses of conservative politicians to accomplish the same effect, so Flynt’s role in politics is as an attack dog for the movement. You will not see feminist groups protesting Flynt over the attack on Cupp, because they are on Flynt’s team, even though the most ardent progressives of our day think the attack against Cupp went too far.

I waited to cover this story because I wanted to see if Obama would offer any comment as he did for the woman called a prostitute by Rush Limbaugh. It was that incident that gave the progressive women who push excessive school levies in my community the idea to come after me. They figured it worked against Rush Limbaugh so it would work against Rich Hoffman. Nobody ever asks why these progressive goof balls can’t argue any facts. They can only call people names because their ideas are fundamentally flawed and emotionally based. In Cupp’s case, she’s young, strong, attractive, smart and is virtually unstoppable in a one on one debate. She doesn’t have the easy flaws to attack as progressives did against Sarah Palin when they went against her accent on Saturday Night Live with a vigor. Bill Maher painted Palin as a street walking parasite and just about every publication went after every aspect of her family attacking her children with a fury. The vicious nature of these attacks was covered by Ayn Rand in her novel The Fountainhead. Rand spelled it out in great detail what the progressives were up to in that book written way back in 1943. Cupp is simply the most recent target, and the intention is to frighten her into hiding in the masses, to strip her down and beat her into submission. All these attacks are aspects of mob rule against the mind of the individual and the hypocrisy is more evident when the attacks are against other women by so-called women supporters than when the attacks come at me, or someone like Rush Limbaugh.

S.E. Cupp is a danger to progressive politics because she can punch holes in their ridiculous collectivists’ arguments; she is young and can fill the minds of that demographic group in ways that terrify progressives, because they want empty minds that they can fill with their pornography, just as they don’t won’t women strong and independent, but pregnant and on welfare—dependent on “daddy” government. Progressives don’t want S.E. Cupp, or Ayn Rand–strong women who actually think for themselves and can stand on their own against the world. The progressive’s biggest fear is that these women from the past and present will undo the fear they are attempting to unleash upon the world, a sickness of collectivism driven by the insecurities of the masses.

Progressives like Larry Flynt, and Barack Obama wish to see personalities broken down and crying in a gutter, that is why people like Cupp are made to suffer, to destroy their confidence so they will admit they need the collective body of society. They would place higher in their minds the sluts of Hustler who will undress for money and allow their sanctity tarnished forever because the women yield their honor as deflowered beings who will never challenge the established order, because they sold themselves short. When a personality like S.E. Cupp does not take off her cloths for some scandalous photo shoot, or gets caught drunk and passed out behind a college fraternity house gang rapped by a bunch of drunken fools tarnishing forever a young women, or taking off her top on spring break cheapening herself to thousands of gawking eyes, there is not much one can do to tear down such a person emotionally. The progressive seeks stories of weakness, and doing such things are signs of human weakness, which the progressive seeks out like a plant strives for sunlight. The progressive needs corruption and foolishness to grow and survive. In the case of Larry Flynt, if he can’t get it legitimately, he’ll make it up, as he did with S.E. Cupp. President Obama will not come to the defense of S.E. Cupp as he did the target of Rush Limbaugh’s comments because the standard is assuredly a double one.

The same people who call me a “wife beater” because of a muscle shirt I wore, or Rush Limbaugh as a “woman hater” because of his comments attempt to paint Sarah Palin as “unsophisticated” and Ayn Rand as a “right winged-radical.” These same minds would rather tear down a fantastic young mind like S.E. Cupp into a diminished porn queen because only then can they relate to a woman so virtuous. Now my critics know why I called them “latté sipping prostitutes” because they are all too willing to sell their souls away to public schools to disguise their horrible parenting skills, or their value of money is non-existent because they do not value themselves. True, I could have been gentler with my wording than I was, but I didn’t want to, because I choose not to turn the other cheek from this treacherous behavior. As Hustler explained in their article of Cupp and the pornographic images they created of her:

“S.E. Cupp is a lovely young lady who read too much Ayn Rand in high school and ended up going the dark side. Cupp, an author and media commentator, who often shows up on Fox News programs, is undeniably cute. But her hotness is diminished when she espouses dumb ideas like defunding Planned Parenthood. Perhaps the method pictured here is Ms. Cupp’s suggestion for avoiding an unwanted pregnancy.”

S.E. Cupp is the kind of young woman I raised my daughters to be, self-reliant, strong, and vastly independent. These are the kind of women who should be held up in society as the goals of all women. But Hustler feels it must defame them in a way to lower the bar for the masses so the collective does not feel bad about themselves and the terrible decisions they’ve made in their lives. So far, Cupp has made excellent decisions and she deserves the merit of those decisions. She does not deserve the implication of collective salvation attempted against her sanctity. But the intention of all involved is clear, Hustler, a pornographic magazine headed by a so-called champion of the 1st Amendment Larry Flynt highlighted in the movie The People vs. Larry Flynt starring Lebanon, Ohio’s own Woody Harrelson is on a political torpedo mission against the American way of life.

Larry Flynt himself started right here in Cincinnati, Ohio where he ran a dirty go-go club downtown. To get more customers to come to his club, he published a newsletter that became Hustler Magazine. His magazine took off when he published pictures of Jackie Kennedy in the nude—the former first lady of The United States. Larry Flynt lost his smut peddling case in Cincinnati and narrowly escaped jail time but became a national celebrity in the process. Many years later in Monroe, Ohio right down the road from Woody Harrelson’s boyhood home, Larry opened a Hustler of Hollywood store to rub his “free speech” in the face of the same type of conservatives who attempted to jail him so many years ago. He has made his living tearing down others and is the ultimate political looter. He exploits the weak nature of his audience by peddling sex on the cheapest scale making it easy for all to indulge in their most explicit fantasies. Hustler of Hollywood, which is right down the road from my house is busy at all hours of the day all days of the week, and is filled with pro-government school levy supporters and social degenerates. The average political knowledge of the typical customer is approximately equivalent to a gold-fish. It is these customers who will enjoy the images of S.E. Cupp with erotic joy even though the images are completely made up and falsified by the owner of Hustler Magazine who seeks to smear goodness under the banner of free speech granted to him by his victory with the Supreme Court. The merit of S.E. Cupp’s Hustler picture is the same of progressive politics in general—it’s a complete fantasy of the mind and has nothing to do with reality.

In that fashion, Flynt has become a hero to the progressive community who use his strategies to this very day to eradicate goodness from the face of the planet. And when a person dares to stick their head above the collective masses, they use Larry Flynt’s court battles and naked women as the battle cry to deflower the entire human race so everyone in society is just as disgusting as they are—so the image they see in the mirror does not make the progressive feel guilty in comparison.

S.E. Cupp deserves an apology from President Obama, from Larry Flynt, from every porn lover who reads the Hustler Magazine and visits his Hollywood Hustler store—my friends and neighbors. It was the kind of evil being seen now that people like Sherriff Simon Leis tried to fight back in the 70’s because they could see what was happening even if everyone else chose to turn a blind eye. Progressives like Flynt and Harrelson who came from broken deranged families and were jealous of those who were morally intact and valued themselves went to war against everything that is good in the world.

Cupp will never get an apology because the intention was to destroy her. Progressives do not want to look at her, they don’t want to hear her, and they just want her to go away. They are so vitriolic about their hatred of goodness that they will do anything to remove it from their eyes. But lucky for all of us, S.E. Cupp is not afraid; in fact it looks like she is feeding off it. Because of this episode of Hustler Magazine against S.E. Cupp it is likely that we are seeing the modern version of Howard Roark about to crush all his enemies with his simple will and goodness that occurred in the Ayn Rand classic The Fountainhead. Because the playbook of the progressive is open for all of us to see and it’s full of hypocrites. Not a one of them in progressive politics be it your local teacher, superintendent, politician, actor, porn peddler, president, union leader, or feminist, want individuals like S.E. Cupp to be all they can be. They don’t want freedom for all women at all. They want enslavement and the evidence is in the silence from Obama and his legions of goons, his backers at Hustler Magazine, the latté sipping prostitutes, his “educrats” who are teaching children to have sex in the fourth grade so they are future customers of Larry Flynt’s store and on their third marriages before they are aged 30. Progressives want the complete destruction of individualism and goodness in the world, and they will attempt to destroy anyone to have it, even if it’s a nice, young, attractive lady like S.E. Cupp who is wholesome and full of virtue.

As for Larry Flynt I was watching the below footage and I can’t tell the difference between him and Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars.

To me they look just the same.

Joshua Charles and Matt Clark Teach the Constitution: Young people stand up for themselves

It was refreshing listening to Joshua Charles, co-author of The Original Argument along with Glenn Beck speaking with my friend Matt Clark of WAAM Ann Arbor, Michigan because both young men are similar in age, they have a great knowledge of history, and they have a passion to convey their message. Joshua as a young man has done a remarkable job of translating the Constitutional argument of the Federalist Papers from the 1780’s and updating them into a remarkable book that has been selling like hot cakes for over a year now. If you are unsure about how the U.S. Constitution is supposed to be perceived and understood by the general population of American citizens, then you should do yourself a favor and listen intently to the half hour broadcast shown below where Josh and Matt discuss in an entertaining, but explicit way what the Constitution means to the average citizen, and how it’s translation has become lost over time by progressive politicians seeking to eradicate the meaning in favor of their own faulty interpretations. This broadcast is a real treat, so grab a snack and enjoy.

The story behind that interview is a nice one, Joshua had contacted me about the review I did for his very good book and after a bit of correspondence he volunteered to speak at the various liberty groups in the Cincinnati area. CLICK HERE TO READ THAT REVIEW. I told him I’d pass his contact info to the Liberty Twp Tea Party, the West Chester Tea Party, the Lebanon Tea Party, the Fairfield Tea Party and the Cincinnati 9/12 group that I have been affiliated with, so they could set him up with a public appearance and book signing. But I also passed his information along to some of my friends in radio, Doc Thompson up in Detroit and Matt Clark. Matt promptly scheduled the interview you heard above since he is a tremendous fan of The Original Argument and is very hungry to speak with other passionate patriots who are his own age.

If anyone has any doubts about the future of America their minds can be put to ease as they listen to Josh and Matt speak about intelligent translations of what the founding documents meant, and what the Founding Fathers thought of the future. Little by little the tyranny of the past is beginning to crumble away because normal everyday people are waking up by reading books like The Original Argument.

Recently a North Carolina teacher told the students of her social studies class that they could be arrested for speaking badly about President Obama. The students reacted by not allowing the teacher to suppress their freedom of speech by talking back to the teacher rebuking the false statement. Listen to the exchange and notice how the progressive minded teacher lost control of her faculties as she realized that she couldn’t thuggishly impose her political beliefs upon her students.

This is one of the most tragic aspects of our modern age, the tendency of these overwhelmingly socialist minded educators who have suppressed the minds of children with their reckless political rhetoric. Because of these types of teachers, who are in every school in the United States, there are very few young people like Josh and Matt coming out into adulthood, who are so passionate in their beliefs that they will go and read for themselves what the meanings of things are in the world around them, instead of just taking the word of the teacher at face value. The Constitution of the United States intended to provide for the type of dialogue that transpired in the North Carolina classroom. Kids should be respectful while speaking out, because a teacher does have to maintain sanity in a classroom full of kids, but when a teacher crosses the line, the kids have an obligation to set her straight. The damage one teacher like the Obama lunatic from North Carolina can do to society is vast, and she deserves the scrutiny she is getting because of her double talk to the students of her class. She had no right to impose her political views on her students, and if those students accept the teacher’s terms in school, they are likely to accept those same terms when they graduate and become voters.

It has been for many years the sinister plot by progressive politics to undermine the critical thinking of children in public school and robbing from them the ability to think. Progressives like Obama, and the North Carolina teacher would prefer that the children just listen to the authority of the government representative, and to not think. That’s how President Obama has been able to manipulate his way into power by eroding away the United States Constitution in small increments over the last 3 years and President Bush did for 8 years prior, because progressive politics have stolen from young people their wits to think, making them defenseless to the powers which seek to move the world by force through compliance.

Thank goodness it has not worked on all young people and Joshua Charles is a great example of a rare mind who has escaped from the clutches of progressive tyranny intact because he had the passion to read and learn on his own supported by a foundation of spiritual enrichment. His book The Original Argument is such a good work of scholarship that could have only been published by someone of the clout and marketing genius of Glenn Beck that it is truly a work that will shape our world of tomorrow. The interview between Joshua Charles and Matt Clark is but a detailed example of what that book has to offer and is the real source of anger behind the North Carolina teacher. Progressives know that they are losing their grip upon American throats as the Tea Parties continue to push back against large government progressive policies and young people are beginning to rebel away from the clutches of their government school indoctrination agents—school teachers. Progressives know that for their plan to work, society must remain ignorant, and because of books like The Original Argument for the first time in over 100 years, average people like Joshua Charles, and Matt Clark know more about Constitutional Law than most of the current members of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. And that scares progressives tremendously. Just listen to the North Carolina teacher and you’ll know how much.
