The Flying Tigers: An age of greatness that must return

In the picture above that is me in the fifth grade during 1979 right after the epic soapbox derby race that was a cliffhanger to the very end. My car stole the hearts of the spectators who witnessed that event on a hot summer day that year. But what many didn’t know or understand was how important to me that saw-toothed mouth was painted on the front of my car. As you can see dear reader my experience with the media goes back quite a few years and if you work at it you might be able to read the story of that spectacular day by enlarging the photograph of the article. The car itself was named The Beast because that was the year that Kings Island first opened their signature roller coaster which I instantly fell in love with. But the mouth on the front was from my favorite airplane in the Aerospace Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.  Now before we continue on dear reader I ask for your attention and patience.  Take your time with this.  Read it all and watch the videos.  You will gain vast insight into what is happening around you to this very day.  What you will learn here will equal dozens of hours of college level history.  So Please make use of it!

My love of the P-40 Warhawk displayed so valiantly in Dayton goes back as far as I can remember, and I can vividly remember things from when I was 1 and 2 years old. The P-40 Warhawk was the signature plane flown by the famous Flying Tigers AVG group led by General Claire Chennault, a man I have always felt an affinity for. Chennault was a brilliant strategist, a natural leader, but was extremely abrasive to his superiors often participating in open conflict with them. These disputes with his military superiors led him to resign from the United States Army Corps with the rank of captain in the year 1937 after a rather brilliant career as organizer of the 1st Pursuit Group of the Army Air Corps acrobatic team the “Three Musketeers” where the group performed in the National Air Races. Later he became the pursuit aviation instructor at Maxwell Field of a team named “The Men on the Flying Trapeze.” Chennault had developed the rare ability to master strategy without compromising American horse sense a talent that infuriated his superiors, so he quit the Army.

But that wasn’t the end, Chennault would become far more famous and valuable as a special advisor to Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek of China as that country attempted to protect itself from the Japanese who were in the late 1930’s attempting to overrun China on a quest for natural resources. And to the north of China was the communists who were heavily funded by the Soviet Union and instigating a civil war within China. The situation was remarkably similar to what the United States would find itself in during the start of the next century where outside interests like George Soros is funding aggression against the United States indirectly while we are openly fighting enemies in Iran, Afghanistan and the invisible enemy of terrorism.  It’s a standard divide and conquer act by two enemies who work indirectly together for the mutual aim of destroying a rival.  In this case China was the target of both the communists and imperial Japan so they worked together to crush China from two fronts.  Sadly we all know that eventually China would be overrun by communism which it remains to this very day. In 1951 Chennault testified before the Senate Joint Committee on Armed Forces and Foreign Relations about the reason China was lost to Communist forces in 1951. Chennault after all his heroics in China during World War II had warned President Roosevelt and President Truman directly about the dangers of communism heading into China at the close of World War II, but both presidents were only focused on beating Japan, and it was their short-sighted commitments that caused the United States to pull out of China once the Japanese surrendered which led to the communists to surge in and overtake the government of China.

Sun Tzu to the Chinese is probably revered more highly than George Washington is to the United States. Chairman Mao used The Art of War to defeat Chiang Kai-shek. Chennault had worked closely with Kai-shek to hold off communism in China, but weak US policy after World War II lead to Mao taking over the country in 1949. Chennault warned of the possibility of future war with China in his WONDERFUL book Way of the Fighter published in 1949. In that book, which is now considered a rare book, Chennault predicted the trouble with Korea and Vietnam years before they occurred. The testimony did not sit well with the government, and they failed to act on Chennault’s warnings leaving China to wither under communist control which the United States would pay for dearly over the next 60 years.

To paint a picture of what that communist takeover was like for the people of China, which Chennault had fought so hard to prevent you can read vividly the description of events that occurred in the great book starting on page 505 of Joseph Campbell’s masterpiece called Oriental Mythology, published in 1962 and was part of four books he spent 12 years writing; he chronicles the beginning of communism in China quite startlingly. What follows are direct quotes from that book which is remarkably similar to the conditions America is finding itself in as President Obama signs the NDAA Bill in our modern age.
A man, aged twenty-two from Doi-Dura in th Amdo region was told by the Chinese that he required treatment to make him more intelligent. The Chinese at the time were telling Tibetans that they were a stupid inferior race and would have to be sup-planted by Russians and Chinese. They took blood tests of this man, his wife, and many others, and there are a number of corresponding reports from different parts of Tibet detailing the sort of operation to which this young man and his wife were the next day forced to submit. They were both taken to the hospital. “He was completely undressed, placed on a chair and his genital organs were examined. Then a digital rectal examination was carried out and the finger was agitated. He then ejaculated a whitish fluid and one or more drops fell on a glass slide which was taken away. After this a long pointed instrument with handles like those of scissors was inserted inside the urethra and he fainted with pain. When he came round the doctors gave him a white tablet which they said would give him strength. Then he received an injection at the base of the penis where it joins the scrotum. The needle itself hurt but the injection did not. He felt momentarily numb in the region until the needle was removed. He stayed ten days in the hospital and then a month in be at home….he had been married for only two years and prior to this treatment had very strong sexual feelings…Afterwards he had no sexual desire at all….”

Meanwhile, his wife “was undressed and tied down. Her legs were raised and outstretched. Something very odd which became painful was inserted inside the vagina. She saw a kind of rubber balloon with a rubber tube attached, the end of which was inserted inside the vagina. The balloon was squeezed and his wife felt something very cold inside her. This caused no pain and only the tube and not the balloon was inserted. She remained conscious throughout. Then she was taken to bed. The same procedure was carried on every day for about a week. Then she went home and stayed in bed for about three weeks,” and thereafter she had neither sexual feeling nor menstruation.

Such stories numbered in the thousands and were provoked by a belief that some groups of people should not breed, so measures were taken to ensure that blood lines would end.  There were many stories of political dissidents who just disappeared off the face of the earth completely once communism was dominate in China.  It wasn’t General Chennault’s fault however that communism prevailed. He arrived in China in 1937 to help train Chinese pilots to defend against Japanese aggression. By 1941 war with Japan was imminent with the United States and it was Chennault who lobbied President Roosevelt to provide airplanes and troops, neither of which the President would provide directly. Chennault was able to organize a volunteer group of 300 fighter pilots and ground crew to pose as tourists on their visas who were simply adventurers, mercenaries and unorthodox pilots who didn’t fit in well with the regimented control of military life. Roosevelt was finally able to send 100 P-40B Tomahawk aircraft because an order scheduled for Great Britain was cancelled. The Tomahawk was considered inferior in flight performance against German fighters. So China was getting from the United States 100 airplanes that nobody wanted, pilots and ground crew that were too undisciplined to serve in the armed forces, to fight a massive, highly organized enemy that ranged in the tens of thousands. The odds stacked against these soldiers of fortune were daunting.

The American Volunteer Group to my mind was no different from the privateers of the golden age of pirates. They were paid to kill and harass the enemy, the Japanese. The deal for the AVG pilots was a one-year contract with CAMCO to “manufacture, repair, and operate aircraft” at salaries ranging from $250 to $750 a month. Traveling expenses, thirty days leave with pay quarters, and $30 additional for rations were specified. The Chinese government paid $500 for each confirmed Japanese plane destroyed in the air or on the ground. An AGV pilot who strafed a Japanese airfield could become a very rich man since planes caught on a runway counted toward the bonus.

When Pearl Harbor was bombed it was the Flying Tigers who struck first, because they were the only group in position to act once war was declared. Under Claire Chennault the Flying Tigers maintained an extraordinarily high kill ratio of 40 to 1 against the enemy which was remarkable and they continued to have success being all that stood between Japan taking over China with ground occupation for over 6 months being desperately outnumbered. The AVG had virtually no backup supplies and had to repair their P-40’s with scrap material found in the local villages.

As usual, the government as a whole was way behind the curve regarding military action and once seeing how popular, and effective the AVG was sought to incorporate them into the military.  The AVG successes were not due to the brilliance of a single mind in Washington, and truthfully, if not for the work of The Flying Tigers the military may never have been able to win World War II.  Without capturing momentum in the Pacific the war in Europe would have been hopeless, and to a large extent it was General Patton who helped turn the tide there, another unconventional general who was brash, bold, and combative.  It could be argued that if General Chennault had been given command of the Pacific theater, there may have never been a need for an atomic bomb.  If Chennault had just a few more resources, he might have crushed Japan two years earlier.  It was the genius of a few who won the war.  It was the government looters who cost thousands upon thousands of lives.  Even when the AVG was brought into the official military operations under General Stilwell where General Chennault and Stilwell fought daily, Stilwell insisted on making life for Chennault a living hell because he was jealous of Chennault’s talents, so Stilwell purposely withheld supplies to Chennault’s group, which seriously compromised the strategic interests of China. But Chennault succeeded anyway in spite of the terrible working conditions and overwhelming odds.

The AVG proved to be superior pilots not just against the enemy but among other Americans. Tex Hill would become one of the most spectacular and amazing pilots of World War II. His war record which started on the dirt runways of the Flying Tigers would last through impossible odds till the end of the war.

The saw-toothed mouths put fear into the enemy in similar tactics that made the Pirates of the Caribbean so successful 300 years earlier as fortune hunters and warriors in search of their personal fortunes fought in the skies over China. And along the way the Flying Tigers saved China from Japanese occupation long enough to choke Japan of resources allowing the US Navy to gain a foothold in the Pacific and eventually overtake Japan. In many ways it was General Chennault and his heroic volunteer pilots who won the war against Japan.

I learned from the Flying Tigers that it’s not always the strongest, the fastest, the most technologically superior who wins. In the end it’s the one who thinks they can who wins because the Flying Tigers were not the greatest airplanes. The pilots were not the best trained in the highest education institutions. And it wasn’t money, because there wasn’t any money, except the bonuses paid by the Chinese government to the pilots. The United States wasn’t able to send supplies to the Flying Tigers during the entire war. The Flying Tigers were great because of the swagger they flew with and their ability to be self-reliant.

My wife and I had the fortune recently to watch a P-40 airplane being restored at the War Bird Museum in Clermont County. It was a privilege to crawl around the inside of one of the sacred P-40’s from the Flying Tiger era that I adore so much. Because to me, the P-40 is the superior plane from the World War II period not because of its performance, but because it flew like the pilots themselves, it was not uncommon for P-40’s to return home after running out of gas and sputtering miraculously on fumes for impossible distances, or being shot up with so many holes that staying in the air seemed impossible. The P-40’s seemed to behave like the pilots who flew them. It was a pleasure to touch the metal and feel the spirit of one of these majestic planes up close, and to associate with the people who were restoring every last bolt of a P-40 so that it can roam the skies again.

And that is the lesson for our age and what we can learn from our heroes of the past. The pretentious rulers of government were just as foolish then as they are now. General Stilwell purposely put an entire country at risk because he disliked General Chennault. President Roosevelt failed to pull the trigger early enough to officially assist China and push against communism before they had gathered enough strength to kill many more lives in the war that became World War II. And the United States Navy was lost until it managed to study the tactics of General Chennault and began to use some of the former Flying Tiger pilots to help train their other pilots on how to defeat the Japanese in the air. But the moment the war was over; President Truman left China to fend for itself and pulled out all United States support. This allowed communism to take over China and cause 60 years of terror from a former ally. It is because of this act that we had the Korean War and the war in Southeast Asia.

The construction of my soapbox derby car was my small homage to Claire Chennault and his Flying Tigers because to me they represent everything that makes America the greatest country on earth. Americans aren’t great because we have technologically superior firepower. We are not great because we have good universities. We are not great because we have infinite supplies of food, water, and other resources. Americans are great who still understand how to think outside-the-box and can fix a shot up fuel line with bubble gum and are willing to fly into the enemy with a damaged plan that is out of bullets, out of gas, and out of luck, and rip through the enemy plane because the steel in the P-40 is made of stronger stuff than the enemy. The enemy is crushed, and the American comes home miraculously, because in the science of probability, it flies by sheer willpower to return home to fly again. And when that American puts their boots in the dusty soil of a foreign runway, a $500 bonus is put into their pockets and once they wash off all the blood and the plane is repaired, they’ll go up again to shoot up the enemy and collect $500 more for as long as they can breathe air in their lungs.

Every day when I step into my garage I pay homage to my version of those Flying Tigers by saluting my soapbox derby car as it hangs from my ceiling. That saw-toothed mouth grins at me and cries out to “GO GET EM.’” That car still looks as good today as it did when it tore down the hill behind Fort Hamilton Hospital in the quest for victory in a race that attracted the attention of all of Hamilton on that hot summer day. And as the crowd cheered at the spectacle my mind was not on them, but on the heroes of the Flying Tigers and the honor I felt to pay homage to them in the heroics of sport. Like the P-40’s of another time, my soapbox still sits perched from high above my garage and gazes down waiting to be called into war once again, and if not physically in the war, it can teach a new generation how to taste the blood of an enemy and become hungry for its nutrients when the times dictate such action. Because these times are no different from those times, the only things that differ are the names of the characters and the dates for which they occur.

As an added bonus to all you have read here and wish to know more than the text, videos and pictures above have revealed, feel free to grab some pop corn and the beverage of your choice and watch the great John Wayne classic, The Flying Tigers released by Republic Pictures in 1942 with John Wayne playing loosely the part of Claire Chennault in a film that the nation needed to see at the time.  I have included it below to make it easy for you to see!  Because at that time there wasn’t any good news to be had after Pearl Harbor except what the Flying Tigers were doing. And this film will give you a wonderful perspective of what the America was like then that made greatness a commodity that was the envy of the world. Because of that jealousy, the communists have attempted a less direct attack on our culture which we are currently experiencing. Just click the movie and enjoy the entire thing, and soak up what America is supposed to be so you can learn how to make it so again.

Who is Roger Tallblocke: UK Police seize computers from a blogger–America’s future in action

Want a sneak peek into the future of socialism in America? England is about 20 years ahead of the United States politically and just a few short days ago police raided a bloggers home in the United Kingdom and confiscated his computers because he wrote about an issue called Climategate. You can read about that story here:

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/12/14/uk-police-seize-computers-of-skeptic-in-england/

After the police took Roger Tallbloke’s computers from his home after knocking on his door with a search warrant and arriving with 6 officers, they gathered up his computers and later informed him that he was not a suspect of anything. They would clone his computer hard drives and return them to him. Isn’t that nice?

http://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2011/12/14/tallbloke-towers-raided-many-computers-taken/#comment-10917

Tallblocke is a blogger who covers a lot of science information and apparently the greenie weenies of Europe do not like the facts he’s putting out, so they came up with a search warrant, took his computers and harassed him to the furthest extent of their laws. This story is proof that if there are laws on the books that allow for law enforcement to impose itself upon a population, then they certainly will. England has never enjoyed the kind of freedoms that we have in America, so this kind of behavior may not seem too appalling to most Europeans but they certainly are to those of us who live in America. And we must be cautious of any politician who professes that they wish to make America more like Europe, because what happened to Roger Tallblocke is not acceptable under any circumstances, and is the destination if America follows.

Yet that is what is going on in America. Politicians seem to desire with great lust to send us all into European care once again after leaving that socially stagnate, pretentious cesspool over 200 years ago to fight for freedom, become the most dominant economic powerhouse on the planet with a relatively small country, only to give all that back again and join the European Union under the political affiliation of socialism, because in England the Labour Party is in essence the representative of Socialist International. The recent NDAA Act that passed the American Senate overwhelmingly to allow the military and police to apprehend Americans indefinitely comes from the same mentality of European law.

It is the political platform of the Labour Party to endorse all the “green initiatives” and hijacked sciences as a way to spread socialism to every country on earth. That is their goal. And there are many politicians addicted to power who seek to make a living as part of the political ruling class who openly embrace socialism as the wave of the future. It doesn’t matter to those power-hungry looters that socialism stagnates economic growth and limits the spirit of its people into something that is best resembled in history by The Dark Ages. The ruling class will always have money, so the condition of the rest of society is a trivial matter that they don’t consider.

In America our academic types are notorious for their desire to return to the motherland of Europe, to the age of Victorians. Barack Obama is one of those academic types. It is easy to see how his mind works as he travels extensively and quite elegantly on the tax payer dime to do very little as a manager of the country’s affairs simply to campaign for his next election. His wife has shown a tendency to embrace the role of a queen. Her vacations are extravagant and her personal staff is exquisite.

By the way, Socialist International is currently the dominate government in Spain. Check out the map of countries that are under the influence of that particular group.

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/socialist-international-bringing-an-end-to-america-as-we-know-it-by-design/

America was never supposed to be a land where politicians sought to make a living in politics. America was never supposed to be a land where lawyers who spent a lot of money on becoming a lawyer and failed in private practice used public office to enrich themselves by writing laws that nobody understood so they would be required to translate those obscure laws. America was meant to have politicians who served a term or two and would then retire back to the world from which they came turning over the reins of government to someone else who would sacrifice their time and wisdom to a term of public service.

I was recently at an event with John Kasich and I spoke with people there who have put their names on some bold legislation that many Rhino Republicans have deemed will put an end to John Kasich’s political career. To those who say such things I say, “What makes you think John Kasich as governor of Ohio wishes to run for governor again? Why would he? I wouldn’t.” The very presumption that a politician should have a “career” in politics is the first and most devastating black flag that an electorate should consider when evaluating a potential candidate. NO POLITICIAN should seek an office to become wealthy, secure, or even use it as a networking tool as a lobbyist once their term is done. Such people are just low quality citizens who function in only one service, and that is machine politics. And machine politics does not want a representative republic that votes members out every election cycle. Machine politics desires candidates that can hold their seats so one party can dominate another party in what becomes something more reminiscent of a football game, not a meeting of logic and philosophy.
Machine politics on both sides is attracted to socialism because in socialism there is a place for a ruling elite. Obama clearly sees himself this way, and most members of the House and Senate do as well. Most academics feel that they are the illuminated populace that Plato spoke about in The Republic and it is they who must use their minds to rule the masses. So socialism is for these types, which are as numerous as the stars in a desert sky.

That is the reason the politicians are attempting to push American in the direction of Europe. They desire to keep their power indefinitely so that they are sheltered from the real world with an insulation of invented nobility. That future is not shrouded in secrecy, with unknown elements. We know how socialism has affected other countries, and they are not nearly as prosperous as the United States has been. There is no mystery as to that destination and we are headed there.

Recently the school in my community hired a new superintendent who specializes in Global Education. She promoted this benefit to the residents of our community as though it were a positive thing. But what it really means is that she plans to continue a stronger agenda of teaching socialism in our public schools so that the children we send to her will learn and be ready for the world of tomorrow that politicians like Obama are giving us, by handing America back to Europe like a child who ran away from home and was caught again by the authorities to be dropped back off to their mother to be punished for their youthful rebellion.

With the passage of NDAA, Net Neutrality, Health Care, more commitments to Medicare and the money eating public education system, America will very soon become the place where a simple blogger will receive a visit from the police to have their possessions confiscated, analyzed, and returned only by the discretion of the police state. And we will have this lack of freedom for the simple reason that the politicians we elected into service did not understand the Constitution of the United States and instead sought European refuge for a fruitful career as a ruling elite.

SOCIALISTS LIVE: Hoffman Lenses on Urban Meyer of Ohio State

Urban Meyer this week was signed to a contract with Ohio State to be their head football coach at a cost of $4 million per year for six years, with milestone incentives of $450,000, $750,000 and $1.2 million if Meyer is still employed as the head coach on Jan. 31st of 2014, 2016, and 2018.

That seems like a lot of money for a head coach in a college football program, but Ohio State would argue that they are committed to winning, and being great, so they will spend the money on the right coach so they can climb back on top in the world of college football.  The trouble is, Ohio State is a public institution and they accept tax money to function.  So isn’t paying Urban Meyer so much money an irresponsible use of tax payer money?  After all, it’s easy to spend other peoples money, so for Ohio State to declare that they must spend so much money on a head coach to be competitive brings up a whole bunch of questions, which Doc Thompson of 700 WLW discusses in respect to all the recent pondering about how much education should cost, and how much tax money should property owners in Ohio be required to pay for it.  Listen to that broadcast here:

Well, I’ve spoke a lot about the ridiculous wages among education officials.  The more I looked at it, the more bizarre the behavior seemed.  Just looking at teachers, they make a very healthy wage for the work they are required to perform, compared to the private sector.  But the administrators, many of them in public schools are making $80K and up.  And in college, it is not uncommon for professors to make in the six figures.  It simply does not make sense that when schools ask for more money, or in Ohio State’s case they raise tuition rates, why people are so willing to pay for the high wages of these employees without question.  Because the cost of education could be driven down if administration costs were lowered.  Makes sense—right? 

But then why are so many educators open socialist?  Why do so many employees who work for education lean to the political left?  That doesn’t make sense.  I mean, I can understand a few, but it would seem that there would be an equal number of conservative leaning educators as well, sinceAmericais divided up down the middle in political ideology.  But no, most educators lean to the left—why? 

Many years ago there was a film I like a lot called THEY LIVE.  It’s a science fiction B movie from the 80’s starring Rowdy Roddy Piper.  As a movie it’s very fun, and simple, and a cheap rendition at merging the science fiction and horror genre with action adventure. It’s directed by John Carpenter and makes no attempt to take itself serious.  But the film in all its simplistic narrative is actually quite ingenious, which is why 30 years later people still think of the movie as a “CULT CLASSIC.”  In that film the main character sees that something is terribly wrong with the world, that something isn’t quite right.  He meets a man who tells him that everything is not what it seems, and that if he puts on a pair of special sunglasses, that Piper can see things for how they really are.  Well, at first Roddy Piper thinks the man is crazy, and refuses to put on the glasses.  Ironically, the glasses are produced by a manufacturer by the name of HOFFMAN LENSES. If you want to see what HOFFMAN LENSES look like check out this link:

http://alienresistance.blogspot.com/2007/10/hoffman-lenses.html

In that film when the HOFFMAN LENSES are put on, the world as it truly is can be seen.  In the case of THEY LIVE, the world is being run secretly by a group of aliens who are quietly subverting our entire culture.  See the video below to see how it works:

Well, as I have been asking the hard questions about why our culture is behaving in an odd way, I have been assuming that the United States was functioning as a capitalist country and the hippies, goons, freaks, losers, progressives and tree huggers were just a fleeting fantasy of fringe radicalism.  After all, many of their ideas are as alien to me as if they came from another planet, and listening to them speak, they seem to be from a different galaxy all together, so to me, they might as well be extraterrestrials.  So I couldn’t figure out why they seem to be everywhere, in education, in the media, in movies, in magazines, in the government, in music, they seem to be ubiquitously wherever the eye looks, these leftist aliens from some other planet.  It was in doing research about the conditions of Greece that I discovered my HOFFMAN LENSES and I had an epiphany.  

Putting on my metaphorical HOFFMAN LENSES is learned about Socialist International and noted how deeply they were embedded into our world culture, and they are VERY active in penetrating American culture through the progressive Democrats and Republican parties in the United States.  See my article about this epiphany here:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/socialist-international-bringing-an-end-to-america-as-we-know-it-by-design/

I see through my HOFFMAN LENSES thatAmericais not being governed by aliens from another planet like in THEY LIVE.  We are being governed by even worse—SOCIALISTS!

Yes, look closely at that politician, who pretends to be just a Democrat, put on the HOFFMAN LENSES and you will see that they are open SOCIALISTS.  Look at that college professor with HOFFMAN LENSES on, and you will see a complete SOCIALIST.  Look at your local school board and study their policies of equality, taxing the rich, and fairness and you will see a school board of SOCIALISTS.  Look at the news person who proclaims economic justice with HOFFMAN LENSES and you will see a maniacal socialist.  Look at President Obama give a speech with HOFFMAN LENSES on and you will see a pawn to the SOCIALIST EMPIRE that is spreading across the world.  Look at the Department of Education with HOFFMAN LENSES and you will see the nest of American Socialism, for this is where they landed in this county, and entered our government, in 1979 when Jimmy Carter created that department because the socialist unions put pressure on him to generate it.

Take the HOFFMAN LENSES off and where you used to see SOCIALISTS you will now see Ohio State football, and Urban Meyer leading them to an undefeated season.  You will see grown men dancing in their driveways with the television on in their garage watching college football on a Saturday afternoon drinking and eating grilled hamburgers.   You will see grown men rooting for high school kids to throw a ball under the Friday night lights of their local high school hoping that their kid will win a scholarship to a college and save them hundreds of thousands of dollars in college tuition.  You will see parents showing up to watch their children performing in a band concert in the school auditorium.  You will see charity events, fund raisers, and global awareness all seemingly nice and innocent proposals by an altruistic society.  With the lenses off you will see smiling faces, hand holding and a social push for peace and fairness.  Put the HOFFMAN LENSES on you will see SOCIALISM robbing us of freedom, of individual thought, of liberty which took over a hundred years to win from Europe only to have it slip back away under European control year by year since the 1850’s.  You will see the strings stuck to the legs of the football players at Ohio State and how Urban Meyer dances to them and how ESPN is the curtain on the stage.  You will see how the strings dance off into the Department of Education where policies are set by puppet master socialists and sold to us through the puppet show of sports. 

Without the HOFFMAN LENSES on yet knowing what is actually going on right in front of your eyes you will see how trivial all the discussion about draft picks, coaching salaries, and sports statistics really are.  It becomes quickly evident that the reason education professionals are so well paid is so they keep the HOFFMAN LENSES off, and do not attempt to look too carefully at what policies come to them from the Department of Education.  They are paid so well so they continue to advance the cause of socialism as part of the ruling elite, and play their part in keeping the world blind to the true intentions of world socialism. 

It is not the desire of your local school board to balance the budget to live within reasonable means.  It is their intention to tax the rich, and convert society slowly over time using our children as hostages to a scheme of wealth redistribution.  It is not the goal of college to be affordable.  It is the goal of these institutions to force parents and their children into a debt beyond measure, and keep everyone not working for financial freedom, but eternal debt, so they buy into the scheme of socialism.  They do not question the cost of education because they have bought into the program of sporting events.  They love the football, they love the basketball, they love college sports, and the recruiting process that is built in high school sports.  While society is happy with these nice distractions, they are reluctant to put on the HOFFMAN LENSES and see the truth. 

That is why Urban Meyer was paid so much money to rescue the Ohio State Football program from the mediocrity it currently suffers from.  Because without victory, people might reach for the HOFFMAN LENSES, and begin to see the truth, and that cannot happen if socialism is to continue its world wide domination of which only America stands in the way.   

And it’s not just Ohio State, but it’s the entire education empire.  The dance between education and government is a waltz of socialism that requires viewing with the HOFFMAN LENSES to see.  Until those metaphorical glasses are put on, and the truth can be seen for what it is, all those who refuse the truth are slaves to illusion in a denial that is infections and requires more and more beer to be consumed to subvert the nagging understanding that something just isn’t quite right. 

Have courage!   Put on the HOFFMAN LENSES and SEE for the first time what you always knew was there all along!!!!!!!!

And if you have never seen THEY LIVE, I’ll make it easy for you.  Here is the entire movie.   Enjoy!

Socialist International: Bringing an end to America as we know it…….by design

Take a good look at the map shown here. The map displays all the countries currently being governed by Socialist International, a global organization of democratic socialist, social democratic and labour political parties formed in 1951. You can read more about Socialist International at this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_International

The direct link of this group to the United States is it should be remembered that President Obama placed one of its most prominent leadership members into the position of Global Warming Tzar of the United States.  You, as a tax payer are providing this woman, who is an open socialist, her wage to work against the interests of America for aims established at Socialist International, a huge group much larger and influential than anyone in the media has led us to believe it is in the United States.  For a review of that story feel free to visit this link:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jan/12/obama-climate-czar-has-socialist-ties/?page=all

The reason I’m thinking about Socialist International is because this is the ruling party in Greece, and we all know what is happening in Greece. In case you do not know what is happening in Greece the country is failing. It is collapsing on its own debt commitments. And the United States using our tax money is searching for ways to bail out Greece.

This is actually a big problem, what I’m about to report to you dear reader. You will read this, and you will hate me for it, I promise. You will not like that I am about to disrupt your comfort zone, because most of you wish to be asleep, and you have been taught for more than 5 generations to buy into socialism here in the United States. In fact, there is a bit of socialism in every single person who draws a social security check. There is socialism in every welfare check. There is socialism in every single public school and college. There is socialism in every branch of government. There is socialism in medicine from the top to the bottom. There is socialism in the insurance industry. There is socialism in your union, for that is how it entered the United States, through the labor unions. Didn’t any of you firemen out there ask why your union is called the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF)? What is “international” about a local firefighter who is supposed to put out fires in our communities? Didn’t you know that the union was a socialist organization? Of course you didn’t, because you enjoyed the pay, you enjoyed the benefits, you enjoyed the job security, and so you didn’t ask any questions. Teachers, your union is a socialist organization, and you don’t care because the pay is good, and the job security is immaculate. If you belong to a union, it is founded in the faith of socialism.

Now in America, because we have a past history of celebrating our independence, we do not call it socialism here, because a majority of our population would reject it flat-out. So we call it “progressive politics.” Have a look at the map. Notice that Greece is one of the red areas. So is Spain. But surprisingly, so is Australia. In fact, the headquarters for Socialist International is in London England and it has its fingers all over the Labour Party. Look at Brazil, and Columbia.

Now look at the world again where open Communism is practiced: (notice Russia is no longer listed as communist, although it still indicates that it will swing back in that direction. It’s currently as a centrist government).

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/the-key-to-american-exceptionalism-its-not-what-you-think-it-is/

Socialism or communism covers a large part of the globe, as a global migration of socialist ideology is certainly part of a strategy entertained by these countries. And all those countries are well aware that their goals of globalism will never be realized until the United States is no longer a competitive threat using capitalism to stay economically much more powerful than the rest of the world.

I recently had a critic of mine who indicated that I had said too much about my local school, and the cost per pupil needed to educate our community children. This critic showed displeasure in my dislike of progressive politics and indicated that I had a “narrow” version of the constitution because I feel that “progressives” don’t belong in America. This critic is angry with me because I want a fundamental change in public education, because as I’ve said, I think public education is broken. You can read the exact contents here:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/sorry-tony-dambrosio-but-its-just-starting-rich-hoffman-is-vitrioliccondenscending-and-disrespectful/

After contemplating the comments of this critic it became evident that many Americans were suffering from the same fate as he. They have been taught to be progressive from school children, which is the gateway to socialism. They have been taught in their public schools that the Ten Commandments of Christian foundation are bad, but accepting Muslim religion is good. The reason is because radical union elements have lobbied politicians to make this so, because capitalism is to be destroyed and replaced with global socialism. So by cutting off our youth from their faith, it allows the instructors to reshape the thoughts of the young people, so they would grow up in perpetual doubt, just like my critic and millions like him. Believe it or not, the whole world does not watch television and play video games. They do wish to rule the world and if it does not happen in their lifetimes they hope it will happen during their children’s lifetimes. When you remove a human beings faith in spiritual existence, you leave them blank to be reprogrammed. So the map below shows how the religions of the world are also in competition.

Socialist International and other socialist organizations have been hard at work for many years to change the United States from a protestant Christianity based culture rooted in economic capitalism and to convert it into a Muslim, Hindu matrix that is prone to accept the ideas of Socialist International……..YES, you have been raised, trained, and breed to be something other than what America was founded upon. If dear reader you are one of those who are saying, “NO RICH HOFFMAN, YOU ARE CRAZY. I AM NOT A SOCIALIST!”

Well, sorry, but yes you are. Here is the evidence of how it started. Click these links to learn more about how the Department of Educated openly instructed states and districts to teach socialism. Individual schools did not question these methods because everyone in the process simply looked at their small part of the puzzle, so the overall scheme was never detected.

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/charlotte-iserbyt-do-you-have-the-guts-to-listen-to-her-or-would-you-rather-go-back-to-sleep/

And the reason that the Department of Education was advocating socialism was because Soviet spies had penetrated our government and began manipulating policy at all levels. Do you think that JFK signed Executive Order 10988 making public sector union’s legal was to do anything but appease the communists who were threatening nuclear attack from Cuba? Or to cut a deal with organized crime who helped put Kennedy in office, and wanted to skim tax money off the top for themselves? And where did organized crime originate……………………. fascist Italy? But all this was provoked by KGB agents who were operating in our government from the 1950’s all the way up to 1990. Don’t believe me, listen to one of them tell how he did it, and remember, he’s only one of them. (bet you didn’t know that’s what the PEACE sign meant.)

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/do-you-believe-in-spies-review-of-the-film-salt-and-how-sleeper-cells-have-corrupted-america/

Yes, if you have participated in any part of all this, you have played your role in a plot to undo your own county, the greatest nation on the face of the earth in human history, and you have allowed it to be dismantled during your life time, and you are guilty. And yes, guilty is the correct word. You are just as guilty as those who let Jerry Sandusky molest little children for many years at Penn State because the good of the football program and the university itself was much bigger than the individual lives of the children. Or the situation at Syracuse University where much of the same has been going on and members of the media were fully aware of the situation, but sought to cover it up for the sake of the university, the collective salvation of the school.

People who think in such a way as, “My alma mater is more important than my puny life.” Or, “that instructor or politician knows much more than I do,” are the results of this Socialism International plan. They have been taught to accept that the need of the many is more important than the individual. This is why in schools everyone gets a good grade, everyone wins in competitions, and sharing is emphasized. The adults of our population have been taught not to question those in authority, to spend our whole lives integrating ourselves into the system, and we have openly embraced the changes in our culture, men and women having no distinguishing characteristics in the household, a divorce rate that has cheapened marriage, and decimated the family unit, and left the American Family a confused organism unequipped to raise a family. This too is by design. By destroying the families this threw our children into the hands of government-run schools who really function to train our youth in the virtues of Socialism International. Poor mom and dad felt they were not equipped to raise their own children. Mom has to work to pay her taxes. Dad has to work to pay his taxes. And the state takes the burden of raising the children away from the parents. All the parents have to do is pay their taxes.

Oh………poor reader, I’m sorry. I hurt your feelings didn’t I? Not my usual readers, they already know all this stuff. In fact, more and more people are learning, and time will prove me correct. History will look back on our generation and laugh at our stupidity. But these new readers who have tuned in to see how vitriolic this Rich Hoffman person really is, they are the ones who are now reading in amazement at how they are destroying America, and how they have been mislead all along in a plot beyond their comprehension. They cannot comprehend because they have been bred to be stupid, to be good little socialists. It was in their music, it was in their classrooms, it was in their television. It was in their movies. Why dear reader do you think so many Australian men are now the heart throbs of Hollywood? Is it because there are no good-looking Americans? No……it is because much of Hollywood (not all) is socialists. Hollywood is run by unions and has been since the time that Ronald Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild, and actually applied to join the Communist Party of America………….YES, Ronald Reagan applied to be a communist! Australia is a country run by Socialist International, and Hollywood wants American women to reach for these Aussie hunks in the quiet of the night and look at Australia in wonder, and accept socialism in their homes, and teach their children to be more like Australia, because the men are so sexy. Did you think it was because the men were merely attractive? Oh, don’t bother asking Hugh Jackman, or his agent. They don’t think about such complex matters. All they know is that a “big wig” at a Hollywood party wants Hugh to be in their new movie, and to promote the film in all the usual places. The big wig uses his Aussie actors to impress people like Barack Obama at a Hollywood fundraiser. And Obama uses his clout with Hollywood to impress the money that flows from people like George Soros. It is people like George who stand behind movements like Socialist International and works the process downhill as shown above that eventually reaches your living rooms on the Tonight Show when Hugh Jackman shows up talking up his new film. The use of Australian actors is deliberate, to promote Australia and it’s government system as opposed to the former high school quarter back with blond hair and a Midwestern accent from Iowa.

There really is no excuse for being so naive dear reader. There have been books like Animal Farm, Brave New World, 1984, Atlas Shrugged just to name a few. In fact there are movie versions of many of those books. One of my absolute favorites is the George Lucas masterpiece, THX-1138. (YES, that is where the THX Sound System came from) Click here to see more about that film if you have never seen it.

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/thx-1138-a-great-movie-where-our-current-education-system-is-taking-us/

The point of all this is I am openly advocating a complete change in our current direction as a nation. I think everything we spend our tax money on is up for discussion. Nothing is sacred. I make it no secrete, I do not want to support anything resembling socialism. NOTHING! I don’t want socialism in my government, and yes, Obama is an acting socialist without question. I do not want socialism in my schools. I don’t want it in my health care. I don’t want it in my religion. I don’t want socialism in my business. I don’t want it in my neighborhood. I don’t want to fund it with one dollar of my tax money. I want socialism pushed out of my country completely. If there is to be a global community, I want that global community to be more like the United States of America before the progressive push on the 20th century, and not like the socialism revolution that holds the world down to bankruptcy and apathy like Greece.

Failure to heed what I’ve just reported to you here dear readers is to play your part in delivering America to the fate we are seeing in Greece. That is the direction we are headed and we are well on our way. So when you propose that next school levy, think about what that school is teaching. When you listen to your firefighters ask for a new levy, ask why an international organization has its hands in their pockets. When you listen to Barack Obama and other radical leftists promote Egypt, Greece and Brazil as the great beacons of hope that America should emulate, understand where his heart belongs, it’s in Socialist International, not in the foundations of America.

If you fail to act on this overwhelming evidence that I’ve presented here and if you didn’t see it on these articles and links, then all you have to do is Google Overmanwarrior and your topic of choice and you will find that I’ve written about it. Go ahead and try it. I have written over 600,000 words over the last year. I have placed it here free of charge for your use. No subscriptions, no fee, no trip to the book store. I have put it here for FREE. You have no excuse to be stupid! And if you fail to act on this evidence then you are just as guilty as Laurie Fine, the wife of the Syracuse assistance basketball coach who watched her husband sexually fondle the 12 year old Bobby Davis. Laurie didn’t want to upset her gravy train to do the right thing. Instead she had an affair with Bobby Davis herself.

ESPN who knew about the issue years ago and sat on the story, because they didn’t want to face the truth, and hurt their business. After all, ESPN is in the business of making hero’s out of sports figures, and they could not face the reality of these heroes acting despicably. So they ignored the story. That’s what anyone who claims to be an American is doing when they ignore what is happening in their schools, their government, and their unions. They are consumed and owned by organizations like Socialist International and their global quest to make the earth one giant Federation of socialists.

So when America suffers through its continued recession, its young people show no interest in life outside of their Facebook account, and all politicians can propose to deal with the multiple crises that are brewing in our future as a nation is tax increases, know that you dear reader are guilty of turning your back and playing dumb to the world around you. For every number that clicks up on the debt clock, you are partially guilty for every dollar of it. You have allowed the corruption that is taking place to occur with your willed stupidity. When America falls, it will not be bombs, and missiles, or even an attack by foot soldiers. It will be our own apathy, bred into us by our public education system controlled by the Department of Education programmed by KGB agents to end America as a world power and allow Socialist International to rule the Federation of Planet Earth throughout the next century.
That is the plan. Write it on your calendars and remember where you heard if first.

The United States Constitution gives you the right to give all these powers the finger. So why don’t you grow a pair and use it!

Who is the Radical: The meaning of success.

I often share moments with my family on this site, and talk about personal experience not to hear myself talk, but to share my successes with those who do not know, or understand what success looks like. As I look around at my fellows, and shop with them at the grocery store, or eat with them at the restaurants, or look at them on our roadways one thing is very evident, that many people have no clue as to where they are going, or what they are doing. They simply do what they are told and show up expecting something to happen, and when nothing ever does, they are eternally disappointed.

When these panicky parents of Lakota and other places leave me these nasty messages with all the pretention of wisdom, as if their lives have been fully lived, and they are in somehow a position to lecture me as to my social obligations, I have to laugh. They are like children telling their parents the ways of the universe, when all they’ve ever experienced is the television in their living rooms. I have to remind myself, even though many of them are close to my age, that they are an uncertain species, who lack confidence in their own child raising abilities. So I often out of the kindness of my heart leave behind little videos and messages for them to use as guides for their own lives, so that they might learn something. I do not however need to learn anything from any of them.

For instance, I recently worked with my son-in-law to help throw a surprise party for my daughter’s 22nd birthday, which I talked about on these pages. Well, it was even more pleasurable to read what she had to say about it a few days later. When I read thoughts like what she produces, it confirms in me that what I say is accurate. I have had great success raising my children. Not just my own, but several others as well. I have read and studied for over four decades now. My education did not end when I graduated from high school. In fact, there was never a teacher who taught me more than I learned on my own. And there was never a teacher who taught my children more than I taught them, and I’d say that they have learned more on their own than I have been able to teach them. So where does that leave public education? Well, for my family, it was a chance to play an instrument. A chance to interact socially. But most of the crap my kids learned in school I had to clarify and undo much of the damage along the way with long talks that went deep into many nights.

My success is confirmed in my daughter’s success, in her ability to think, adapt, translate, love, appreciate, and interact with the world around her. Read her words for yourself.

http://brooketownsend.blogspot.com/2011/11/22-pirates-big-birthday-wishes.html

Many of the families I know cannot stand to be around each other. But this is not the case in our family. The video below shows a snow day from last year where we were all stuck at home because the snow was too intense from the night before. So we found a way to have adventures in and around our house.

So when these tax advocates attempt to paint me as some kind of extremist, as a radical, I have to wonder, by what measure? What is the track record of my accusers? Do they have success at living? I don’t mean to say they are successful because they make a lot of money. But are they truly successful? Have they raised children that actually want to spend time with them when they are grown out of all the options in the world available to them?

My use of aggressive language is simply an understanding of what I’m dealing with in regard to the actual radicals of our age. They call me radical for calling them what they are, failures at life who wish to pretend they are successful by spending money to supplement their lack of parental skill. I’m happy to help them learn where they are wrong, and how they can fix their lives before it’s too late. But I do not need anything from any of them, and it is me they call names when they come to my door and ask me to raise taxes on myself for their own distorted perceptions. I am not a radical for telling them no, and calling them names for interrupting my living with such preposterousness.

Radicalism is the President of the School Board calling a prominent local politician to instruct him that “it is not very wise to not support the school levy,” of which that politician took as a threat. Radicalism is levy supporters advocating boycotts of local businesses who are perceived to support the anti-tax effort. Its teachers who make over 60K a year protesting that they aren’t making enough money for contractually working 9 months a year and 7.5 hours a day. Radicalism is school administration officials who tell parents and other volunteers that they cannot have a bake sale to raise money to save their band program if the levy fails, because if such a thing were to occur, the school district couldn’t use program cuts as extortion against the community to pass the levy. Radicalism is telling the parents who worked hard to put their kids in a Lakota School that if they don’t pay higher taxes that their kids future is in jeopardy, as if the teachers will stop working if their demands are not met. Radicalism is in principals sending negative emails about the community not passing tax levies to their entire staff after levy failures, inciting more anger toward those in the community who didn’t approve a tax increase. Radicalism is ignoring the signs of troubled teens even though there are many paid administrators to act as councilors, and completely failing the job when it counts. Radicalism is in downplaying the acts of a teacher openly participating in child pornography then pretending that it’s an isolated incident and nobody knew about it ahead of time. Radicalism is in a teacher crossing the line to seduce a student’s parent, using the child to begin the deed. When the family confronts the principal, the teacher’s direct supervisor, the only concern is to move the violator from one school to another and cover up the story. Radicalism is teachers preaching to their students how they can help their school pass the levy by going out late on Friday and Saturday nights to steal all the signs of the tax opponents resulting in thousands of dollars in vandalism. And when the incidents are reported by the victims, the issue is brushed under the rug by the authorities who secretly root for the school levies to pass so their police levies also pass when the time comes. Radicalism is when balancing a budget only requires asking the union employees of the district to take a 5% cut in salary when they are already extremely well compensated. The reason is the unions do not want their members to question the union dues their member’s pay, which is close to that amount anyway. Radicalism is expecting the public to forever increase their taxes to compensate for a failed political model of progressive leaning idealists.

I would consider any one of those issues to warrant fury among the public, yet every single one of them has happened at Lakota during the last year, and the public has been too guilty of being “civil.” In their civility, they have been used, and taken advantage of.

The deck is stacked against the tax payer in virtually every conceivable fashion. With our tax money we have built these institutions who believe they have a right to rule us like an empire. They consider any questioning of their behavior to be radical, so there is no way to escape it. So with that in mind, why should I not call them what they are, socialists? They may not be socialists in the way of the Soviet Union, but they are socialists by way of Greece. Is calling public education socialism radical? But isn’t it? What kind of children are they producing?

Well I already know the answer. I’ve been there and done it, and I know what works and what doesn’t. And a teacher in a public school can only supplement what the parent does in the home. And if the parent is too busy to do the job, the child will suffer. You cannot throw money at a teacher and expect them to make your child into gold. That in itself is radical!

I offer these tid-bits of wisdom for your use dear reader. I tend to enjoy my older friends more than my younger ones, even those my own age, because the older friends have achieved a comfortable understanding about how life works. That’s why many of them are now Tea Party members and active in conservative politics, because they learned how not to be burdens on society. But the younger ones, the ones trained to be socialists in their public educations, the ones who expect things to drop into their laps and scratch their heads in wonder why their kids can’t wait to grow up and leave their households never to write unless coaxed into it, because they are terrible parents who are drowning in insecurity, and they are pretentious enough to expect the rest of the world to rescue them from their fallacy.

No, I’m not the radical. I’m the angry guy who decided not to bring a knife to a gun fight but to bring the gun! I’m the guy who recognizes what the real game is all about and I don’t want to play, and I certainly don’t want to dump a lot of money in an education system that is broken to its foundations and advocated by parents who are also broken beyond repair and hopeless.

But I do hope for them anyway. I hope they read what I put down here and learn something; I hope their lives will be enriched just a little. I hope those things because their children actually deserve a chance at life to become something, and their chances of that happening are greatly reduced if their parents aren’t very good at their jobs. The real radicals of education are those who seek to hide their lack of parental skill behind the masks of school spirit and a financial empire that seeks to govern every aspect of our social well-being. No thanks. I’ll stick to my methods which work………………..and are a lot cheaper!

The Super Committee isn’t so Super: Complete failure across the political spectrum

On Monday November 21, 2011 the Super Committee of the United States Congress declared that it wasn’t quite so “super” when it acknowledged that they could not, or would not come to any decision on where cuts to the federal budget could be implemented as the total deficit climbed over $15 trillion. To understand exactly what all this deficit talk means, and to translate the decision of the Super Committee to proclaim it’s stalemate just before the Thanksgiving Holiday, Doc Thompson of 700 WLW had on Nathan Bachrach to put it in perspective. You can hear that discussion at the video below.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that the Super Committee was unable to do ANYTHING productive in the two months they have been meeting. Consider for a moment how much a congressman in the capital makes, which is $174,000 a year for rank and file members plus other benefits that can be seen in more detail at the below link:

http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/congresspay.htm

Imagine the dysfunction of politicians making six figure incomes, which is a healthy sum for anybody, sitting around doing nothing but making noise. The Super Committee worked for two months on a task of reducing the national debt and made no ground at all, and to my mind that means they should all lose their jobs for their epic failure. But how can we expect things to work at the federal level when it doesn’t work at the local level? As this news was breaking about the Super Committee the Lakota School District like virtually all school districts in Ohio are trying to figure out how to balance their budgets to the same results.

Lakota is looking for $12 million dollars to cover their deficit spending that we’ve demonstrated is caused by their very inflated wages which average over $63K per year for over 2000 employees. And with all that supposed talent hired for managing our education dollars, not a single one of them is capable of making any kind of hard decisions on how much to cut from the budget or where to cut it. Why?

Well, the answer is because the entire governmental system from the local schools all the way up to the federal government is built around a looter mentality where the participants have rigged the system to extort legalized plunder from the tax payer for spectral services that actually amount to nothing. For perspective, what government is doing for us is similar to what bottled water companies are doing. They are collecting water, putting it in a plastic container, and selling it to us like they are doing us a favor. But in reality we can get our own water easily, and don’t need a bottling company at all. The bottling companies have created the “perception” that their water is better than water that falls from the sky. Government is doing the same thing with education; they are teaching our kids in an old archaic fashion that is grossly too expensive when a computer could do a much better job for most of the topics. Homeschooled kids outperform public educated kids in virtually every category, so if the goal was to improve the actual education of children, schools would explore the answer as to why. But that is not what is desired, because government education is a “make work” program that is similar to the bottled water company. Government does the same thing with housing, with social security, with medicine, with transportation, with food production, they have their hand in everything and in reality they are simply making it seem that they are working on your behalf when all they are really doing is just selling a service you could get easily on your own. They only exist to “create” jobs, not results.

The weakness in government skill level however is exposed when they are actually required to “manage” costs, instead of simply asking for more money. During the discussed Lakota school board meeting, my family and I spoke about if I should go or to continue with our plans to take my son-in-law out to dinner for his birthday. I decided to take him out for his birthday because my time is worth more than sitting with a bunch of dysfunctional, unskilled, malcontents for an hour and a half and listen to the administrators bungle around the hard decisions in a comical display of ill-equipped politicians who are attempting to cover up the fact that they have no courage, no fortitude, and no idea how to make a proper decision. Because they know that they are part of a system designed to loot from the public treasury, and they’ve benefited from that system so are not equipped to point out the flaws. Your local school board knows it. Your local superintendent knows it. And your local congressman knows it. Every member of the Super Committee knows it. It’s all a scam designed to loot money from the public. For more information and video on how this works, check out this article:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/legalized-plunder-you-have-been-scammed-at-every-level/

It is a sad state that we have so many government employees who are not paid based on performance but just to sit in a chair and wear a suit. We have allowed them to cruise along making excessive amounts of money for doing virtually nothing. They are exposed when they are required to actually do something, and the problem is epidemic, it’s across the entire political spectrum from top to bottom.

It is in these losers that we place our trust to eliminate a 15 trillion-dollar deficit, to educate our children, to care for our elderly. If the lack of effort on their behalf does not spell out for you the magnitude of our country’s severe failure in virtually every category, nothing will.

America is due for a complete, philosophic identity calibration. It is time for our nation to figure out once and for all what it is. Are we going to continue to be the home of the free, and land of the brave…….or are we just simply a society of looters, which our politicians reflect regarding our general society?

The answer to that question will determine the fate of the United States of America, and that decision will happen on your watch dear reader. You and you alone will decide what is to become of our country. So you better chose correctly.

Cuts, Cuts, and More Cuts: Protesting “Target” for trying to open on Thanksgiving

Doc Thompson on 700 WLW covered a topic which demonstrates the epic clash of ideas in our modern-day. There is a man who is circulating a petition to prevent Target, the department store, from opening on Thanksgiving Day; because he’s concerned that it will interfere with his Thanksgiving dinner, since he will have to head in to work early to prepare for the late night opening. My first thought about the man is that he can choose to work for Target or not to. Those are choices within his control. But he does not have a right to alter the business strategy of Target to suit his Thanksgiving dinner. It is his job to alter his schedule around his employment. For Target to open on Thanksgiving is a market driven need. Target’s existence is not employee driven its market driven. That is the key discrepancy of our modern problems. Listen to that broadcast at the video below:

This discussion about Target’s Thanksgiving plans comes as the smoke cleared from the Middletown City Council 4-3 decision to lay-off nine of their firefighters. The money just isn’t there. So the decision was to cut those jobs. What makes the decision worse and more impactful to the community of Middletown is because of Issue 2 being repealed, city council must lay-off the last hired, who also happens to be the cheapest. If Issue 2 would have held, the fire department could have let go of an employee who is just milking their way to retirement, who has obviously declined in performance over the years who might make 80K per year and must instead let go of two firefighters who only make 40K to attack the budget deficit goal. It’s nothing against the older employee, but they are simply too expensive, and if they are not performing at a 80K a year level, they should be let go so the fire department can keep the two firefighters who only make 40K. So Middletown had to cut 9 firefighters to meet their budget demands.

Of course there are more costs associated with these public employees besides just raw wages. At the Lakota School District the No Lakota Levy group figured out that the average employee at Lakota makes over $67 per hour of employment or $130,000 per year by the time all their benefits are factored in, and that is how a savings is made when lay-offs are implemented. The front end salary makes up a huge difference and when that is applied across a workforce of 20 to 200 it adds up to a very large number. Have a look at the math in calculating the public employee costs at Lakota here:

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/lakota-teacher-overall-compensation-is-130219-per-year-vote-no-the-lakota-school-levy/

Yes the firefighters showed up like all those other crazy public employees usually do and protested the lay-offs, but they forget that they are not management. They do not have a right to manipulate the management structure. They do have a right to find another job if they don’t like the conditions of employment, but they don’t have a right to scream like a bunch of little children to keep their job, just like the protestor at Target does not have a right to dictate when Target opens for business. Of course members of management hate to do it, nobody likes to lay off a worker, and nobody likes to fire employees, but it’s a reality of any management when the budget dictates. I’ve had to do it more times than I can remember and they all hurt. But when the money isn’t there, that is the grim reality. Check out video and the story from Channel 19 here:

http://www.fox19.com/story/16043399/firefighter-layoffs-to-be-discussed-at-middletown-meeting

But Middletown isn’t the only city going through this kind of thing. Monroe City Schools is having public meetings to try to figure out what they can do to close a $2.7 million dollar deficit. Monroe is looking to their southern neighbors in Lakota and Mason and seeing the tremendous tax increase resistance going on in those districts and is trying to avoid that same controversy.

http://www.pulsejournal.com/news/local-news/monroe-schools-face-2-7m-deficit-for-2012monroe-schools-face-2-7m-deficit-for-2012-1285331.html

Of course the clueless public worker who believes that all the jobs in society were created for their convenience will simply propose that taxes be increased to meet the budget deficits. This is the response at Lakota where the superintendent who is supposed to manage the finances of the district simply stated after the third levy defeat, “But the teachers have already taken a pay freeze.” Well………so much for management letting the employees know how hard-nosed the superintendent will be in reducing costs. Instead of exploring possibilities of approaching the teachers union to reduce their employee costs on the district, which are currently ridiculously high the superintendent says the teachers have accepted a “wage freeze,” as if that were enough! I’ve shown you at the link above how much those Lakota employees cost the taxpayers, and the obvious next step would be to reduce those costs to balance the budget approved by the community. That would be the next step if public workers thought the way the rest of the world does. No, instead, they only know how to lay-off workers or ask for more taxes to pay for their distorted view of reality. Management is virtually non-existent in public service and that’s how everything got out-of-control in the first place to deliver us upon this current crises.

But that’s not all; Cincinnati City Council which is now largely liberal because of the protest vote against supporters of Issue 2 will have to solve a much larger budget gap than they did a year ago. Here’s how it went exactly one year ago when the previous city council attempted to solve their budget problems. Council never solved their problems from then till now. Check out this link!

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2010/12/22/its-the-end-of-the-road-budget-problems-for-everyone/

Postal workers are now protesting the closing down of a sorting station in Cincinnati, because the Postal Service is also broke! They think somehow by their chanting money will magically appear in their budget. They like the Target worker in Doc Thompson’s radio broadcast think that their jobs exist for their livelihoods, not the public they are supposed to serve. It seems beyond their reasoning to conclude that higher taxes to pay for their extraordinary benefits are not an option. Somewhere at some time someone told them that government creates jobs and since they now worked for the government, then they’d be cared for all their lives. Nobody told them that the utopia would collapse on itself when the money ran out and the pension payments were due. The politicians who made those promises are most likely in the Bahamas drinking pina coladas through a straw, living out their lives of looting off the public sector in relative security and comfort. Now all the promises that were made by those thieves are expected to be kept, and that means that some people will have to lose their jobs to fulfill those promises.

I think back to all the commercials that aired during the Issue 2 campaign when it was said that if we wanted to keep our firefighters, our police and our teachers then we needed to repeal Issue 2. People like me declared such statements as an outright lie.

Now, unfortunately people are learning who was telling the truth and who wasn’t, and they’ll come to regret what they’ve done to themselves. Chants, protests, and magic wands will not place money in your pockets and solve the problems. Only good management and strategic thinking will, and those who cling to the old ways will undoubtedly perish in the aftermath.

Things are about to get very, very ugly.

Watching Fisherman from the Mountaintop: Weak politics are the result of weak philosophy

Why are so many voters ignorant as to how they should vote?  Well, have a look at two of the reasons, pop culture and professional politicians brought together in a collection of imagery that appeases the senses.  Oh, its bait in the water……

In the wake of the 2011 Election, whether we are talking about the various school levies, the dysfunction of Cincinnati and their new city council along with the street car, or the loss of Issue 2, it is apparent that many people just don’t understand the higher concepts of how things connect.

Most people are too busy with their lives, too busy to pay attention to the critical issues at play, and it shows in the way they’ve voted. In Lakota our NO LAKOTA LEVY campaign placed the information on the doorstep of the voters and over 18,000 of them sided with our viewpoint, because the information was provided. But the weaknesses of our social fabric became very apparent when most of Ohio failed to understand the importance of Issue 2, or why they voted for a school levy, or why they voted for a street car, and countless other issues. It is not so simple to proclaim that those voters are simply stupid. It’s not even correct to suggest that it’s a matter of Republicans or Democrats, Progressives or Constitutionalists, it is a matter of failed philosophy at a basic, fundamental level and that failure is the social error of our day.

In the wake of the election and my performance many have asked me to run for one of the various political offices around town. It is difficult to explain to them I have no interest in such a thing. My intention is to return back to my mountain as described in my favorite book, Thus Spoke Zarathustra and return to philosophy, because that’s what I’m interested in. This is why it is so clear to me where society is failing. It’s not so much in their politics, it’s in their philosophy. They are fundamentally broken and therefore cannot understand how and why their politics reflect this fragmented structure. My politics and philosophy is that of the American Transcendentalist. My friends are Henry David Throreau and Emerson, not the person at the Friday Night Football game whom I might secretly seek approval. It is clear that such people who harbor such desires have consumed their minds computing power on tasks that are worthless, and thus do not understand the importance of political topics. Right before the election as I finished up an interview with Channel 5 and Channel 9 TV I was also in communication with my editor to turn in my manuscript as promised before she had to catch a long flight to a far away place. She wanted the second draft to work on while at the airport, and the flight itself and as I sent it, a surge of importance radiated from the task which far exceeded any of my political involvements embarked on that same day.

When a friend of mine requested why I don’t take action on my talent for speaking and articulating arguments I replied, “The world does not need one more politician, a school board member, a trustee, a mayor, congressman, senator, or even president.” I know several people who are good for these jobs and I am fine to let them do it. But to my eyes from my mountaintop perspective which I will not surrender, the world needs to think again because all the elections from now till the end of time will fix nothing if people act purely with emotion instead of intellect, as they did with Issue 2, and many of the school levies.

Emotion is that silly lure which the fish bites down on a hook as a worm sacrificed of its life wiggles from to attract the fish. The fish bites on the hook out of the emotion of being hungry, and the fisherman to capitalize on that emotion and weakness uses that emotion against the fish in order to catch it, and consume it. I do not wish to be consumed by the fisherman of politics. And I would advise my friends and neighbors against it as well. But I do not invest much of myself into those who wish to bite down on hooks and allow themselves to be caught. It is these types that I see voted against Issue 2. It is these types who voted yes for school levies. They are hungry fish too busy to study the conditions around the bait, and therefore are easy pray for the fisherman.

The fisherman in this case is the labor unions and the politics of that structure. They are a ruthless hunter who simply wants to fill their bellies. As a politician I would be at the disadvantage of being in the water with all the other fish to simply tell hungry fish not to bite on the hook, which they would anyway. This would lead me to a life of frustration and would result in me simply being wet.

The answer is in the kind of material I sent back to my editor as she climbed on her plane and sent me a text. “WOW, so much is here! This is fantastic!” I nodded to myself with a satisfaction that far exceeded any victories gained on election night. No amount of drink and women in skimpy dresses would equate to the satisfaction of a compliment given from a higher plane of reality. For a book contains within it the power to elevate the mind of the fish into explaining to it that there is a world outside the realm of the pond from which it resides, a world that it can then develop tools to explore and use to it’s advantage. So if my editor’s reaction to this first edit is an indication, my mountain top musings will have more influence in the realm of the human race than an election result, or a political office. And this is the path of the American Transcendentalist, and that path leads to the mountaintop cave of Zarathustra. (My favorite book)

From that mountaintop where I desire to spend ALL my time, it is easy to look down to the pond and see the fisherman casting their polls into the water. Those fishermen have government shirts on, and many have AFL-CIO on them, so I can see what they are up to easily. When I see this I will climb down, get into the water and try to keep the poor fish from biting down on the hook to feed those fisherman that I see ruthlessly overfishing the pond at the foot of the mountaintop.

If I had my way however I would encourage those who swim in the pond that they are not fish, but a higher life form, and that there is room for them on the mountaintop with me. So rather than play the games of the pond, I chose to stay in the mountaintop to write from there so that others may be encouraged to leave the pond behind all together and join me on those lofty peaks, where life is much more interesting, and the content of things become much clearer. It means nothing to the people who come to realize such concepts to become a big fish in a small pond or even a small fish in a large pond, or better yet a big fish in a large ocean. That is the realm of politics at all levels. I would say that being a fish at all is the wrong way, because all are prone to the bait of the fisherman. The best thing to do is to leave the pond all together and become bigger than what you were so you aren’t even tempted by the bait on a hook.

The solutions to politics are not in the pond, it’s on the mountaintop. So any effort applied to the pond is a waste of time. This is why I played Wii Golf during the election results and did not celebrate, because the effort was simply a temporary fix to a larger problem. The long-term fix though is in my manuscripts, and whether or not people understand it now, or 100 years from now matters not. The process of thinking is the key to leaving the pond to higher plains of thinking and if I can do that for one, I consider it a far greater triumph than simply avoiding the hook of a fisherman cast into the water on November 8, 2011.

The Next Day Part 2: LAKOTA LEVY DEFEATED by 18,788 VOTERS!

(To see The Next Day Part 1 from last year click here):Doc Thompson of 700 WLW and I talked about the election results as the smoke cleared on the “Day After” the Election of 2011.


Many of the reporters I spoke with on Election Day wanted to know what I was going to do to “celebrate” on that very contentious night. “I’m going to play Wii Golf with my wife,” I told them, which garnered some strange looks.

While we did just that I did watch the numbers come in off The Butler County Board of Elections web site, so my mind was on other matters. Issue 2 failing demonstrates how the public unions have managed to garner 43.4% higher wages than the rest of us. They are an organization of deep radicalism that is prepared to yell, march, and even mislead to protect their hive just like a swarm of insects. I’ll have much more on that later, because my focus as the smoke is clearing upon the rising sun of Wednesday, November 09, 2011 was on the school levies.

Issue 2 was the fix to the school levy problem, and I saw that as the results came in, that the same “machine” of the public unions that we saw in the Issue 2 debate had taken its toll on the school levies. Little Miami on the ninth time passed its levy and Lebanon did also, both by margins of less than 200 votes. Both of those schools are on their second attempt within the same calendar year, and show clearly how school systems controlled by radical union elements seek to beat down the tax payer until the taxpayer just says yes.

To see coverage from Channel 5, Click the link:

http://www.wlwt.com/politics/29718008/detail.html

http://www.wlwt.com/video/28804024/detail.html

I was also dismayed to hear that Fairfield passed their levy. Fairfield like Lebanon has the very unfortunate situation where they have many apartment dwellers that do not pay taxes, but can vote. So they are prone to vote for school levies because by the time their landlord raises their rent, they’ll most likely move on to a new residence. But out of all the public schools in Southern Ohio, it was Lakota that was the focus and it was the third time that the No Lakota Levy group had organized to shoot that levy down. As the evening closed and I was on the 15th hole our Wii Golf game, it was apparent that Lakota’s Levy wasn’t just going down to defeat, but was going down soundly 54 to 46 percent. That means from the last levy attempt to this one, even after the district cut busing, cut electives, made sports pay-to-play, and even lowered the levy amount that the defeat margin actually gained 1% to spread the margin of victory from 6% one year ago to 7% now. Even with all the dirty tricks that get played, especially the massive sign theft and vandalism that went on during this campaign, voters saw through it. You can listen to Doc Thompson and me discussing this very issue right after I returned home from voting on Election Day.

Gaining a whole percentage point said a lot from a community who had seen all the dirty tricks in the OEA/NEA handbook, the same dirty tricks that are being applied to all the other schools, especially Little Miami. The goal is to wear down the opposition gradually by attempting levy after levy after levy until the people standing up against the measure just give up. That is the way the unions operate, and is exactly why Issue 2 should go right back through the legislature, for a relentless pursuit to jam it down their throats till they run out of money and energy. That’s what the unions have done to the public after all. Make the unions defend against it next spring and summer, like we have to defend against tax levies every 6 months, and let’s see how long they last. They taught us this game! But in the case of Lakota, with a new superintendent, nearly $30,000 spent to shove another tax initiative down the community throats, Lakota lost ground. $12K of that $30K was spent just on consultants who advised Lakota how to garner positive public reaction to their message, which even as the closing minutes of the election ticked down, Sandy Wheatley pictured here laying on the ground at a party for the Move Forward Campaign was having to celebrate their efforts…………?????????????……….stated, “We said all along this was the community’s choice and it appears that the community said it is not ready to move forward.”


That wasn’t the worst comment. Here’s another, “I just don’t think people, who don’t have children in school, think about what the ramifications really are. They just don’t want to pay more money. Trust me, I don’t want to pay more money, but I have to make a commitment to the community I live in,” said Felice Fishman parent of two children in the Lakota school district.

“It is very frustrating,” said Chiqui Aull, who is a parent of two in the Lakota school district. “It doesn’t make sense to vote against it because everyone who owns property in West Chester just had their property go down.

“It is sad because people moved to West Chester for Lakota because of the school system and they could end up choosing Mason or Fairfield, who just passed a levy.”

Source: http://westchesterbuzz.com/2011/11/08/lakota-levy-fails-for-third-time-since-2005/

I find it absolutely amazing that all those statements from people who seem intelligent are all taken straight out of the union playbook of prepared emotional statements intended to manipulate the public, just like the unions did with Issue 2. As my wife and I finished up our golf game I wondered if those people even knew that they were “programmed” to believe such things. Probably not, their static patterns are so intrinsic to their state of consciousness that they utter things from their mouths which are not their own, which they’ve simply heard from someone else. They are unknowing foot soldiers to tyranny, a system that uses our kids, and our community in service of a larger system, an organism onto itself called unionized labor.

By gaining the extra point this time it disrupts this union plan created by the OEA and maintained by the OSBA in Columbus, with smiles of course, which uses incremental cuts to services in order to extort more tax money from property owners, and the residents of Lakota stood up for themselves, and that is good to see. To the parents who are in fact the selfish ones in this matter because they allow union radicalism to cloud their thinking, and have their entire focus on their little child within the bubble of public education, they fail to see the bigger picture. They forget that there are other elements to a community that make it great, with Lakota just being one element.

To paint the picture let me direct your attention to the spread sheet shown here which will give you some idea what a good friend of mine who owns nine local businesses ranging in value from $1 million each to $1.5 million pays in taxes. On Election Day he is already paying a substantial amount of money in taxes not only for his personal residence, but for his business properties listed in the spreadsheet. If the Lakota Levy had passed, he would owe roughly an additional $72,413.79 in taxes because commercial property is assessed at the same amount as residential property. Many of the parents, teachers and administrators who have large sums of money dumped in their lap because they work in the public sector and are accustomed to making 43.4% more than the rest of us, simply don’t fathom what that means, because they live in a bubble of their own reality. They would be inclined to say that my friend is wealthy, so he should “pay his fair share.” I can tell you what my friend says, “Why should I locate a business in Butler County if they are just going steal my money.” Short-sighted parents who only care for their little children don’t understand that it is the excellent commercial development along with the residential development that makes a community great, and the Lakota District is a reflection of that balance, not the creation of it.

People move to Lakota for the schools as one factor, but other factors include highway proximity, job creation, entertainment options, and tax rates. When tax rates are high, commercial property moves elsewhere and parents who have their kids raised sell their homes and leave to avoid the high taxes. That is the essence of the problem that all those people pictured in that party picture simply don’t comprehend. Those Move Forward supporters don’t see it because they are in an education bubble that we fund, and have lost touch with reality.

That is why the No Lakota Levy says that before there is ever another levy attempt that the administration at Lakota should sit down with the teachers union (LEA) and require them to bring their compensation costs into the range of the approved budget. That’s what the election was all about, what is the “approved budget.” This community is not in the mood for the silly union games of extortion, of inconvenience in order to force higher taxes. It is the responsibility of the employees of the Lakota School District to maintain the high level of service we expect. And we expect our management to control the costs. Not for the costs to control management! If there are members of the LEA who don’t want to comply with this fact, then look for a job in a different district and see if they are willing to pay for the bloated salaries. Those employees could be replaced easily with more affordable and eager young professionals.

So Lakota drop the union radicalism and play ball, or we will do this again, and if you think this effort was more aggressive than last time, I’m sitting on information that will make the next time even worse. So be smart, understand your role in the community, and don’t be ridiculous in your compensation. What you do next will determine much.

DOC’S LAW in OHIO: “Boogity boogity boogity, Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

(Do yourself a favor and watch every video on this article and try to do it as you read.  While this post may appear to take a break from politics, it really is just a different way of looking at the situation in the face of incredible opposition.  So strap in and hold on!  I’m letting you into my world a bit more than usual.)  Remember that song?   I do!   If there was one song in my life that most uttered my inner consciousness it is Sammy Hagar’s I Can’t Drive 55. That song is my life, except miraculously I never did jail time. I never had a drunk driving incident, or a terrible crash that I caused, but I had many reckless operations for burning rubber, eluding police officers, and EXCESSIVE speed. My very first ticket was 85 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. Some of my tickets were so excessive that the police mailed them to me because they couldn’t catch up. They had managed to get my license plate number but the speed was just too much to attempt to overtake from a dead stop. I have been pulled over by every vehicle the police department has, even helicopters.

Thankfully, when the speed limits finally went up to 65 here in Ohio and 70 all through the south, it gave me the needed margin to stay out of trouble and I finally stopped getting so many tickets. But I had lost my driver’s license till I was 26 years old from so many point accumulations. I had to drive illegally to bring my wife and children home from the hospital, because my license was suspended for the next 8 years!

I promised my publisher that I’d have the first edit of my new project to them by Election Day, so I was sitting at my desk listening to my buddy Doc Thompson on 700 WLW when he announced his new initiative called Doc’s Law. The manuscript I was working on involved much of my love of speed and cars in general so my mind was already geared into it, so I called up Doc to lend my support of his new, bold program.  (My Part is at the 17:50 mark.  But you’ll want to hear the Sean segment who is the first caller.)

People ask me often how I have so much time to write at this site, and work on these school levy fights, well, it’s because I’m in between projects at the moment. Well sort of. My new book, which I have been editing with my publisher, is due out next year, so I have a little time on my hands. I wrote the book last year before the first levy attempt at Lakota. It took about 9 months to bounce around between all the publishers and their readers, then about a month and a half of contract finalizations when one finally decided they wanted to do it. We are now in the “post production” phase of things and my time requirements will soon change. Right now we are trying to figure out what this new book is all about. Is it philosophy? Yes. Is it action-adventure? Yes. Is it a romance? Yes. Is it a political thriller? Yes. “But what do we put on the spine of the book?” I don’t know. At this post production phase all I can say at the moment is that the book is about a presidential race for the United States mixed with this video.

Don’t worry; we’ll get it worked out. These kinds of talks are a normal part of the process. But these were the kind of problems we are trying to work out on the publication end of things. As to the intensity of that video, that is a trip into my mind. So welcome!

As to speed limits, like most things, I never liked the word “LIMIT.” That is such a confining term. Limits are usually set by small-minded people with fat little fingers that can barely get their hands around their steering wheels. On the highway, I think in such a rapid fashion that 55 MPH was simply a mind numbing pace, barbaric in its mediocrity. 65 is a little better, and 70 is almost ideal. I almost always travel between 75 and 85 MPH. I think the way Doc does, my time is valuable and I want to get where I’m going. I don’t want to waste my time with some bureaucratic speed limit!

When my family recently traveled to Florida over the summer my average speed was 88 MPH. Sometimes it was 105 MPH and sometimes as low as 77 MPH. I wanted to get there. Two years ago when my wife and I took a massive motorcycle trip to Key West on our Boulevard motorcycle my average speed was 91 MPH. When we left for home we departed Orlando at 6 AM and pulled into our driveway at 9 PM with an hour and a half of dining at the Chattanooga Outback Steakhouse. Much of the time in the mountains our speed was 115 MPH. At a rest stop down in Key Largo a fellow from the seat of his over-the-road Harley Davidson asked me why I had a Suzuki and not an American made bike. I said, “Because a Harley doesn’t have a drive shaft, and these big tires. I like to drive fast.”

He looked my big bike over. “It is impressive, but you are supposed to enjoy the ride.”


“I do,” I replied to him. “I enjoy it fast.”

About a month later my wife and I left our home to participate on a motorcycle membership run since I was the Vice-President of the Suzuki Club of North America in Ohio. I met the other riders at a McDonalds just outside of Cleveland at 7 AM as we left our house at 4:30 AM. From there our little motorcycle gang rode to the Freemont Dealership close to Sandusky, Ohio across the northern part of the state. We had our membership drive there with our motorcycles on display from 10 AM till 2 PM. As rest of the motorcycle club left to go back to Cleveland my wife and I went on over to Cedar Point for the rest of the day and rode Top Thrill Dragster.

We left Cedar Point at 8 PM and were home showered and in bed by 11 PM to watch Family Guy on the Cartoon Network. The only bad part of a trip like that was always watching out for police. I don’t get to enjoy all the nice sites along the way, because I’m always scanning ahead for cops. We did 500 miles of riding that day and we did it at speeds much of the time over 100 MPH and in the blackness of night, and we still had plenty of time to spend the day in northern Ohio to have fun without being rushed around due to time constraints.

One thing you notice when you do a lot of traveling is that the speed culture changes dramatically the further north you get. I think this has something to do with the map seen on the Right-to-Work states. Have a look.

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/the-next-civil-war-unions-versus-right-to-work-is-happening-now/

People in the south still embrace a frontier spirit of a sort. They are different from the progressive politics of the north with all those stubby fingered bureaucrats who want to control every part of our lives. You can see the tremendous difference of these two groups when you attend a NASCAR event. Upon seeing this video, it must be remembered that it was the south that first opened up the speed limit to 70 MPH. Because in the south, they love SPEED, and their smokin’ hot wives! Thank God for people like Paster Joe Nelms!

When Paster Joe said that I thought of the White House and I imagine that Obama and his wife probably had their faces melting off in horror. In fact, all the beltway types in Washington lobbying on K-Street and other places probably had the same reaction. Because culturally, we are not the same type of people, Progressives are a timid folk, and they drive SLOW! They think SLOW! They learn SLOW! And they expect the rest of us to be just as slow as they are. It’s not fair to those of us who can think fast, and drive fast to be hindered by the weak links of society!

I love the SPEEDCHANNEL! What a great American TV station. It’s not for those timid types, those people who drive 40 MPH when the speed is supposed to be 65! When I come up on such people at 110 I see the whites of their eyes in their rearview mirror. They smile in triumph, because they believe they are making the world safer! They believe just as the stupid school levy people believe that just by tossing money at a school their kids will get a good education. The same holds for the pretentious fool who blocks traffic in the speed lane. I met such a pompous lump of human excrement on I-71 south as he sat in the speed lane at 56 MPH blocked up next to a tractor-trailer. There was nowhere to pass as those two idiots stayed like that for about 15 miles. I came on him at 105 and almost had to screech my tires to a stop to avoid placing my car into his back seat. I was so angry that I had to leave the highway at Carrolton. My wife and I sat down at McDonalds, had a meal which lasted approximately 20 minutes until I could calm down. We hit the road again and I passed the guy at more than twice his speed about 20 miles outside of Louisville. That’s how slow he was going, and how much precious time of life was wasted. My wife and I had an entire meal in the time we would have wasted sitting behind that sluggish fool.

So needless to say, I am a HUGE supporter of Doc’s Law. Because if you have business in Columbus, like I often do, or Cleveland, like I do sometimes, the time spent in the car is wasted. Why should I waste moments of my life to compensate for the timid, for the unskilled? For those who are afraid of their own shadows!!!!! Why? Explain to me why my life is worth sacrificing a moment for because the timid are afraid of the speed. If Ohio were to abolish its speed limit altogether, as I hope Doc’s Law will pave the way to, I could purchase a Bugatti Veyron Supersport and be in downtown Cleveland in approximately 53 minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Now that is efficiency! I could be in Downtown Columbus and parked in the garage in less than 30 minutes. I could be in Orlando, Florida in less than 6 hours, (I’d have to stop for gas). So why can’t I do it? Because of the slow minded progressives who want to regulate everything, including the time it takes us to get from one place to another!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, sure they sell it to us in the guise of safety like they always do. But who really wants to be safe? I see people participating in risky behavior all the time, particularly when it comes to their sex lives. Isn’t unprotected sex while on that road trip far riskier than the speed of a moving vehicle? Maybe if there weren’t any speed limits your husband would drive home from Chicago instead of waiting till the next day to fly out of O’Hara and seek the young women infected with herpes in the hotel lobby. Or the politician who slides the dirty prostitute a $20 for her to pretend his private parts are a corn dog, only for that same politician to bring home God knows what to his loving trusting wife who has bare-knuckled her perilous drive to the school soccer field to drop off the kids for practice.


I’ve been in several accidents at over 100 miles an hour. And I think that there would be fewer accidents if people drove faster because the mind works better at high speeds. Sure, the highway patrol will give you all kinds of safety statistics about death tolls. But they exaggerate things the same way they did with the Issue 2 campaign. “Issue 2 makes it ILLEGAL to negotiate for staffing sizes.” Hey, cops, yeah you guys sitting on the side of the road, if you have more than two hours to sit and do nothing but clock speeders, your department is over staffed. If there isn’t enough crime to justify you doing something else, you aren’t needed. It’s that simple. Most of the car wrecks are caused by the timid, which panic when catastrophe strikes. The speeder who thinks fast reacts better most of the time. And a wreck at 55 looks about the same as one at 100. The reason there aren’t more stats of people living in car wrecks at 100 MPH or more is because not that many people do it. Statistically most people linger along at the mind numbing pace of 65 MPH!!!!!!!!!!!! So the crash statistics are skewed to the masses of travelers who crash at less than 100 MPH.

I have news for you progressives in America. The majority of the population doesn’t want what you’re offering. My editor understood why I included the titles to certain songs in my manuscript. She told me to insert the lyrics into the action instead of naming them in the exposition. One of those songs was I Can’t Drive 55. But the one I was working on during Doc’s show on November 4, 2011 was Kickstart My Heart shown in the video at the beginning. Well here it is again but shown in a way that deep down inside every American craves, men and women alike. Believe me, I’ve been married over 20 years and raised two daughters, and I have told them what I’m telling you now. Drop the progressive crap and be what you were meant to be.

My youngest daughter who is 20 gave me some strange looks recently when we were on one of those trips to Florida and my wife and I thought she had went down to the pool, but was in fact still in the bathroom. She stayed in the there too long, about a half hour too long, let’s put it that way. As we finished up still thinking we were alone and were getting ready to head to the pool to join our kids there my wife asked me which bathing suit I wanted her to wear and I told her the American Flag bikini. So she put it on. My daughter then stepped out of the bathroom. It was an awkward moment.
“Have you been in there the whole time,” My wife asked.

“Yes!” she said trying to look upset. She looked at me as if I should feel guilty.

Instead, I asked her “What do you think of mom’s new bathing suit?”

“That is cheesy. I wouldn’t be caught dead in it.”

I looked at my wife, “See, now you know why I fight all these stupid school levies. Kids these days are learning all the wrong things.”

There is no shame in proclaiming what you like; there is only shame in being restricted by inferior minds who create social restrictions that are unnatural, processed, and terribly mundane. And the speed should not be set by the weakest of our society, but by the strongest, so that the weaker learn to be better. By catering to the handicaps of the slow-minded we do not provide ourselves any service of merit, but only collectively weaken what it is that makes America great in the first place.

So I ask you to join me in supporting Doc’s Law. It’s of epic importance and is a piece of legislation that is needed for the economic vitality of Ohio. And the only reason the police won’t get behind it is because they want a speed limit so they can use the citation revenue generated to fund the bloated public sector workers. Having a speed limit is all about having the ability to tax us in yet another way. It has NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING to do with safety.
