Graves did not know that the rest of the world outside of Knoxville, Tennessee failed to recognize the Second Amendment and she stated in court that she did not know that her gun license was not valid in New York City.
Progressive minded media and politicians poked fun at Meredith Graves and her backwoods naiveté. Who needs to pack a gun—and who doesn’t know that New York City outlawed personal firearms? This isn’t the wild Wild West!
Mayor Bloomberg came out and defended the aggressive arrest of this unassuming woman by stating in a press conference that Graves had been caught with cocaine in her possession as though his city had done a great thing by trampling all over the American rights of the married thirty-nine year old.
The political intrigue increased as Representative Frank Nicely of Knoxville proposed legislation to the Tennessee State Assembly called House Resolution 585 which read, “We remind the citizens of New York, especially those residing in New York City, to drive carefully through the great state of Tennessee, paying extra attention to our speed limits.” In short, Frank Nicely was threatening anyone from New York driving through Tennessee with speeding citations unless Graves was freed from unlawful firearms prosecution.
Graves posted a $2000 bond and plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge to avoid the three and a half years in prison she was facing. By pleading guilty she gave the court case-law to use in future cases, but in fact, her plea was obtained under threat—not by a sense of justice to the law.
It is interesting how some of the amendments in the Bill of Rights are respected out of convenience for advancing the progressive political agenda in America while others are ridiculed openly. It was within the last couple of weeks that Jeff Neely, of the GSA took the “Fifth” while testifying in front of Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee over extreme abuse of tax payer money. Neely was more than happy to stand behind the rights of the Fifth Amendment to keep from implicating himself further in one of the most embarrassing government scandals in recent history. The Fifth Amendment protects against abuse of government authority in a legal procedure. Also, countless civil rights activists and other progressive groups constantly beat their drums to the strength of the First Amendment, the abridging of freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. These are amendments to the Bill of Rights of The United States Constitution and they are very valuable, and they deserve to be protected with vigor.
However the Second Amendment is attacked by the same forces that support the First Amendment as if the two amendments weren’t equal. Also the 10th Amendment is routinely abused—most notably by the recent Obama Administration using yet again the far-reaching “commerce clause” to override state sovereignty and pass national health care which is currently in the Supreme Court awaiting a verdict of constitutionality. The progressive minded New York State, specifically New York City will use the 10th Amendment to declare they have a right to ban firearms within their city even though the citizens have a constitutional right to bear firearms protected by the Second Amendment.
Americans like Meredith Graves who come from places like Knoxville, Tennessee have been routinely chastised by progressive groups for years as they protect this duality in Constitutional emphasis. To Meredith Graves, the medical student studying to become a doctor, all the elements of The Bill of Rights are equally important. She did what she believed was the correct thing; she saw signs at the 9/11 Memorial indicating no firearms, so she checked her gun at the door. For that bit of honesty she was slandered by Mayor Bloomberg for cocaine possession, jailed, forced to spend thousands of dollars in legal fees, and ultimately coerced to stand in front of a judge and plead guilty to a law that is itself unconstitutional, giving the New York gun ban validity in the eyes of the court because she was enforced to provide a plea that supported a progressive political agenda.
Meredith Graves had no choice but to lend power to the unconstitutionality of the New York gun ban by pleading guilty—because if she hadn’t she could forget her future as a doctor. She could forget her life with her husband while she dwelled in jail. Her life would have been turned upside down and ruined for doing what was right and pleading not guilty under the same protection that Jeff Neely of the GSA used. The Bill of Rights was the same in both cases, only Neely used the Fifth, and Graves used the Second. The Fifth is recognized by the courts, the Second is not.
Under the protection of the Bill of Rights Meredith should have been able to plead the Second Amendment with the same strength as the Fifth, the First, or the Tenth. Meredith Graves should not have served one single day in jail for exercising her rights. Instead the security at the 9/11 Memorial should have thanked her, and handed her gun back to her when she left.
Graves was used by a legal system intent on gradually eroding away the American Constitution with case-law created by coerced pleas obtained under duress. Politicians in New York accused her of being a drug dealer, and politicians in her home state threatened retaliation against all New York drivers through Tennessee using the Tennessee Highway Patrol as their own version of a political weapon. Abuses were distributed against Meredith Graves and the American legal system with an audacity that is disgusting if viewed under the lens of Constitutional purity, but is business as usual under modern legal interpretation.
Once it was realized that Meredith Graves of Knoxville, Tennessee—wife, medical student, gun possessor and future doctor was simply a woman who wanted to see the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, and not a drug dealer, or gun runner–politicians, lawyers, and media washed their hands and threw her back to the community she came from without apology or concern. Like fisherman who thought they caught a big fish to fry up and consume, Graves was thrown back into the water when it was realized they weren’t allowed to eat her. They reluctantly cast their rods back into the water looking for a new meal to consume and further erode the freedoms of all Americans with unforgivable infringements to personal liberty. The latest victim was Meredith Graves who was simply one fish in a vast ocean. Who will be next?
This is what people are saying about my new book–Tail of the Dragon
Watch this! In fact, watch every single video on this posting at least once. Then send this link to your friends and family. Your lives depend on it.
Oh, dear reader—not all of you—because most come to this site to gain a foothold into just a bit of sanity in a world gone mad……………..but some of you…….the ones who hate me, and wish I would just stop————you are reading here out of anger hoping to find some way to twist my words around so you can end my work. You are reading here to preserve your way of life—because you are a government employee of some kind, or perhaps you are one of the idiots who found yourself seduced many years ago by the womanizing Lyndon B. Johnston and his Great Society, and you want to stop what I put up on this site every day. You wonder why people like me just don’t shut up and pay our taxes. You want me to just work, and work, and work to pay for the mindlessly insane programs you and your politicians voted for—and you expect me to support them with my value for the rest of my life. Well, I have news for all you fools of the Great Society, and of Roosevelt’s “NEW DEAL,” I don’t want it, I’m not going to support it with a quiet nod of obedience, and certainly don’t want the worth of my work to be poured into the useless abyss of more government. One of the reasons for my growing abhorrence of public education and government programs in general is articulated wonderfully in Mark Steyn’s most recent book, After America. You can see a public speaking engagement from Steyn below in four parts to get more of a taste of who, what, when and where our nation has went wrong, and why doing more of the wrong behavior will not solve the problem.
In a government gone mad the current debt per person if equated out over 306 million Americans is $13,072, but because of progressive politics, not everyone pays taxes. In fact, it’s only the richest percentage of that number who actually pays tax. The average debt per “taxpayer” is $74,074 divided over 54 million people. That’s what “democracy/communism” looks like and why there are often mindless chants from those who don’t pay much in taxes for taxes to increase—just to clear that up before we get into the really shocking numbers. In fact our debt is so bad due to progressive politics like The New Deal and The Great Society that there soon won’t be enough money in the entire world to pay our debt. Below is just one of the top ten most disturbing statistics from Mark Steyn’s After America. You can see the rest at this link:
2) John Kichen of the U.S. Treasury and Menzie Chinn of the University of Wisconsin published a study in 2010 entitled:
Financing U.S. Debt: Is There Enough Money in the World — and At What Cost?
The fact that sane men are even asking this question ought to be deeply disturbing. As to the answer, foreign official holdings of U.S. Treasury securities have usually been less than 5 percent of the rest of the world’s GDP. By 2009, they were up to 7 percent. By 2020, Kitchen and Chinn project them to rise to 19 percent of the rest of the world’s GDP, which they say is….do-able. Whether the rest of the world will want to do it is another matter. A future that presumes the rest of the planet will sink a fifth of its GDP into U.S. Treasuries is no future at all. But on Big Government’s streetcar named Desire we have come to depend on the kindness of strangers. — P.10
The federal government is so bad, corrupt, reckless, and blind to any vision of the future that America is spending $126,839 per second. Our government is spending $7,610,350 per minute! Every hour of every day in America we are spending more than $450 million on government programs, on government schools that are ineffective, on government employees like the GSA who have for years indulged in exotic trips to national conferences. On Social Security that is insufficient, Medicare that is plagued with corruption and needless medical expenses, on a military that protects the world at our expense.
Every single day in America we are spending over $11 billion dollars, just to be open for business. Over the course of the year it comes out to over $4 trillion dollars. All that money is spent, and what do we have to show for it? What is the value of the purchased services? Can America stay the greatest country in the world following these numbers? What is left for the children of tomorrow? What happens to the world if America defaults on its debt?
Many people, especially government employees like school teachers and administrators refuse to believe that it is they who are on the leading edge of this chaos. It is they who have taught society now for two decades to embrace global policies rooted in socialism and to end American technological and manufacturing dominance in order to “save the planet.”
Not all teachers in public education are bad, but unfortunately they live in an idealistic world which is formed on the philosophies of Immanuel Kant and Karl Marx, and they seek to bend the rules of reality to their distorted vision. Progressive presidents like Woodrow Wilson was president of Princeton University and was a devastating president that paved the way for a century of gradual American decline. Lyndon B. Johnston was a high school teacher as his first job, and Barack Obama was a teacher at Chicago University, and both of those presidents have shown they are not equipped to head anything resembling an economy. Between the two of them, they are almost exclusively responsible for many of the numbers mentioned above. America does not need more teachers in The White House. History has shown that in so doing America lends itself to the same bankrupt spending habits currently seen in every public school in the country—and our kids are coming out of school being taught by those types of people.
Progressives have “progressed” America right off a cliff, and people like me have every right to demand a return to sanity. I am not committed to continuing the ridiculous programs of the progressive movement. I personally like rugged individualism, I love the spirit of American adventure in the 1800’s and I believe that the “can do” spirit of that period combined with what we know of modern science is the key the world needs. But I do propose a rejection of virtually everything progressive politics has brought to America and recommend sending it back on a ship to Europe to reside there in the Dark Ages of history with the ghosts of Martin Luther (the religious figure) and stacks of former Popes.
Progressivism does not work. It does not work in public education. It does not work in the creation of the welfare state, and it is not the ticket to a free and just society. It is a dismal failure that requires quick assessment, acceptance of malfunction, and rejection by the American people within the decade, otherwise—it will be too late and America will fail on their watch.
So if you are one of the people reading this and you don’t like it—tough! Now, watch this last video at least three times, because it will take that many times for the information to sink in. After watching this you will see that there is no way to continue with the programs of TheGreat Society. There is no way to maintain the New Deal. There is no way to do anything that President Obama wants to do. If America is to survive, it has to go back to before progressive politics infected our society. That is not inflammatory language. It’s a fact of life. Let Tony Robbins explain it to you now.

I was so angry with so many people over the attempt to eliminate me from the political scene by the progressive education funding apologists that I had made a decision to turn up the heat even more and get personal in the levy fights at Lakota–so I called my political enemies “latte sipping prostitutes” and described how and why which became all the rage in Cincinnati. (CLICK HERE TO REVIEW). I had made a decision to break away from the orthodox approach and get even nastier since it became evident that the Lakota school system did not respect the wishes of the voting public and were positioning themselves for a fourth levy attempt, so I didn’t even listen to the interview I did for Scott Sloan’s show on 700 WLW during his morning program, which was very controversial, and difficult for me personally. It was strange to be referred to as a sexist, a woman-hater, and an activist on the same rhetorical level as a “Wall Street Occupier” making the interview shown below one of the most difficult I’ve ever given. In the interview at one point Scott stated that I had weakened my argument by yelling louder than the pro levy factions. But I didn’t agree. I yelled louder than my political enemies for the same reason a parent yells over screaming, disrespectful children—to get their attention and let them know that their behavior is intolerable. The pro levy people attempted to take my very targeted comments and apply them to all women of the world—especially Lakota, because it diffuses the attention away from the groups I had in mind. It’s an old strategy that has worked to advance many radical agendas over the years, and it was surreal to find myself involved in the middle one. But deep inside I knew I was saying what everyone was already thinking—but dared not speak for fear of ridicule—such as what I experienced during this very difficult interview. Click the video to listen.
I knew as I hung up the phone that most people understood what was happening by the way the Enquirer article was quoted, the way that it aligned itself as a paper with the public relations intentions of the Lakota school system. I knew my supporters would see this event as the political assassination attempt that it was. I knew such an attempt had been in the works for quite a long time, and that it was initiated by a sitting school board member to eliminate me from the political scene. I knew that other school board members were attempting to break bread with my friends at No Lakota Levy to soften our resolve against their reckless financial proposals. And I also knew that financially strong community advocates were putting serious pressure on several business owners through the Lakota school district to weaken their stance supporting No Lakota Levy. That pressure gave rise to the scholarship foundation mentioned in the interview which was not expected by the pro levy groups at Lakota and set off a violent reaction which prompted this character assassination attempt against me. The hard-core levy supporters who were the targets of my comments knew that if I were involved in taking away their extortion measures with a positive community campaign that they would lose their stranglehold on the district so they came after me with all guns blazing.
But you never quite know who is on your side until you face a crisis, and as Scott and I parted ways after that interview I had a sense of where the weak links were on my side quickly, and I had to decide to completely rebuild my efforts alone. Given the way the Cincinnati media quickly piled up against me biting down on the hook cast into the water by the pro levy, pro union, progressive feminists, it appeared that I would be fighting in the future differently—which I was prepared to do. So I didn’t listen to the interview, or read the paper, and haven’t now for over a month.
But something unexpected happened almost immediately following my interview with Scott Sloan. People were pulling me aside, men and women, and were—thanking me. At first it was just a couple of bold personalities who I thought were just trying to encourage me not to give up the fight, which was never in danger anyway. But from their perspective, they were concerned. In the days after, leading all the way up to yesterday—at gas pumps, restaurants, meetings, community events—there have been many people who have personally came up to me and thanked me for speaking on their behalf against “the mob” as they termed it. So many people approached me in the weeks that followed with such statements that I decided if 100 people came to me and thanked me for my very aggressive comments lambasting the pro levy government education supporters then I’d go back and listen to the Scott Sloan broadcast and post it here on Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom.
Yesterday I heard from my 100th person, a man who told me that it was about time that someone stand up to those cackling hens who think they can cheerlead all of society right down the crapper. I will admit that these comments were relieving, because you just never know. I knew my comments would get attention, which is why I made them, but I wasn’t sure they would be successful solidifying how many people really feel about being openly scammed by progressive social engineers attempting to do to our communities what they do on the national stage.
In fact it was a woman who told me just a few hours after my interview with Scott Sloan that I said 90% of what everyone already thought and that she knew I didn’t mean all women when I made my statements. She recognized that the targets of my comments had no other defense but to attempt to pull all women into their quicksand just as they’ve done over the entire feminist movement. The man yesterday told me that the “bitches had it coming” and he hoped that I would continue to call those progressive terrorists out by name as I did in the interview above.
What these pro levy people, and progressive activists don’t know is something that I only suspected at the beginning of that Scott Sloan interview—was that millions upon millions of people are frustrated and tired of the crying diatribes that many progressive activists use to advance their cause. In the case at Lakota it’s the radical mothers who are in the minority but seem unable to isolate their protective instincts from the logic of reason regarding funding decisions that affect the entire community—young and old alike. The radicals of my community are not unlike the racial radicals in Florida who want Zimmerman crucified to solve some social ill they are trying to advance in yet another progressive platform using the unfortunate death of a black child as their launch pad. Nobody in the media calls them progressives parasites for using a grieving family as a key to manipulating an entire society, but most reasonable Americans can see the sham for what it is—but they are taught by society to keep their comments to themselves otherwise they will be attacked—like I was.
I have spoken to many more hundreds, if not thousands of anti-levy supporters who are truly scared to speak out in public because they do not want the wrath of the activists to publicly humiliate them or their children. In the last campaign there were a lot of emails and personal correspondence where people showed their support of No Lakota Levy but did not want a sign in their yard because they were afraid they’d become targets by the radicals in our community who will stop at nothing to extort more money from the public to satisfy their unrelenting appetites for safety, security, and as much money as possible to throw at their children hoping it will overcompensate for their parental inadequacies. And a selfish labor force of union employees is all too willing to exploit this naive group of activists to loot more money for themselves. The rest of the community is far more experienced in business and in raising families and we can only shake our heads at the sheer stupidity of the whole scam. So when a person like me says what everyone is already thinking, it’s a feeling of relief, not shame that is the dominate emotion.
I had been keeping a count since March 15th of these people who thanked me, and the best one was last week, number 94. I was getting gas and a car pulled up across the pump from me. It was a Lexus and a businessman got out, someone who looked to me like he had children in the district and was a pro levy type of supporter. I noticed he kept looking at me as he pumped his gas–as if he were working up the courage to speak to me. As I finished up and was getting back on my bike, he stopped pumping and approached me. “Excuse me, but are you Rich Hoffman?”
“Yes I am,” I replied.
He smiled as though relieved. “I have wanted to contact you for a while now—I just want to say—thank you.”
I smiled as he shook my hand. “For what?”
“For putting those God damn, bitches in their place. For striking back at those Lakota Fu**kers and standing up for the rest of us the way you do. What you said took serious balls.”
I was shocked to hear him talk this way at a gas pump in the early morning before most people even had a cup of coffee. And he didn’t look like the type of person who would use such language. He was very animated. “Thanks,” was the only thing I could think to say. I looked at his hand and saw he wore a wedding band. “Does your wife share your beliefs?”
“She was the one who told me about you. She reads your blog every single night before she comes to bed. She’s very much a fan.”
“Well, that’s good to hear. You have no idea,” I replied.
Our conversation evolved into many other topics centering on his family and Lakota. He railed on about how high the taxes were and how dangerous it was for a small group of levy supporters to have so much manipulative power over a community of over 100,000 residents. We both agreed that it is done through extortion and force.
He left in his Lexus as I put my weather gear back on for my motorcycle ride feeling good inside. It is always good to hear when people see through the games being played to the essence of a situation. In this case, I had thought the man would be a levy supporter, not a guy on my side of politics. So he surprised me. In the wake of the March 15th broadcast on 700 WLW I learned that my frustration spoke on behalf of many thousands if the sample of 100 could be such an indicator. If 100 people went out of their way to tell me how they felt, there are no doubt 10 for every one of them who thought about approaching me, but didn’t. I like that math, and more than that, it is nice to see people finding their courage and beginning to call these progressive terrorists what they really are.
For too long we’ve all been too polite, too sensitive, too lack-luster. We admire characters in movies and TV shows that act boldly in their lives, but we find often we chastise the behavior in real life. And the enemies of America know we have this tendency, so they openly exploit our weakness with social terrorism. The way to counter that terrorism is with doses of it back in their direction. If the weapons they use are peer pressure manipulation through name calling and attacks on social and economic status in an effort to control political behavior, then it can work against them also. After trying everything else but that strategy I decided to turn up the heat and throw back at the social terrorists of my community the type of rhetoric they had been dishing out using my own special flare. I told those levy supporters what I thought about them. I was honest. And honesty is not something that we should ever apologize for. Sometimes it might hurt what we say and think, sometimes we might feel the situation wrongly, but the exchange of dialogue is necessary and when reason is not the governing factor, then fire must be fought with fire. In a raging inferno, water just evaporates to mist. That is what happens to the facts we present in the school levy fights. They come out of the hose cool, but the raging tempers of the estrogen driven radicals confusing biological protection for their young with endless financial justification for ever higher taxes becomes nullified at the point of attack—so a new strategy must be utilized.
For those 100 supporters over the last month who have given me that much-needed support, I thank you. It is hard to do anything that goes against the norm, especially when the strategy of your political enemies is to handcuff criticism of their actions with political correctness. This has taken away the ability of people to call things what they actually are. So when I decided to call the situation as I saw it, there was a risk that I might do what Scott Sloan suggested and that is lose supporters and validity in my arguments. And on that day as I hung up the phone I wondered if I had crossed the line. But over the last month, I realized that I hadn’t—that my descriptive terms were deserved, and appreciated by many people who feel run over by a process that can only be described as tyrannical. Fights like this one are not won by playing nicely while the other party kicks at your knees or groin. To win these fights you have to be willing to play every bit as dirty as they are—even harder. Because they have shown that they will not listen to reason, that they do not respect the opinions of the community majority, and will stop at nothing to satisfy their internal neurosis. So to the magic 100, thank you for letting me know you thought I did the right thing. It means a lot.
As you are reading this at 8:00 PM on April 25th 2012, Monroe Local Schools is having a special meeting with their school board to ask the public what to do about their multimillion dollar operating deficit. For some unknown reason, the district seems to believe that their costs magically spring up from the ground like grass, and they pretend they didn’t plant the seeds. The school board like all school boards everywhere plays dumb as to what put them into their financial situation to begin with, which are their labor costs. Monroe desperately wants another operating levy from the public to solve their financial problems, but they don’t want to end up like their neighbors to the south—Lakota and look like a bunch of bumbling fools going to the public three times in two years only to be rejected handedly each time.
It was only yesterday that Superintendent Mantia at Lakota and her public relations staff–that charges $60 per hour to the tax payer–made the final announcement that after several school board meetings, the school board finally agreed to cut 141 jobs to offset a $9 million budget deficit eventually slashing $10.5 million for the next school year. After the Monday night meeting similar to Monroe’s, Mantia and her empire of looters put out the call to the media around town that the cause of the cuts to the Lakota school system was the result of several levy defeats in recent years.
Serious……………..that’s what she said!
It’s no wonder all these schools are broke, no matter how much money tax payers send their way. Superintendent Karen Mantia of the Lakota school system makes $165,000 a year with up to a quarter million dollars in total compensation and she can’t even identify what the real problem is in solving her budget. What she does know how to do is complain about how sad it is that these 141 jobs are going to be cut, and how much every person on the layoff list has contributed to Lakota and the students. “They have served in every school, some in every grade level, and they have taught across the spectrum in many subjects. They have combined years of experience and the loss of these people is regrettable.”
She continued to say, “By experience, we know that we will receive some resignations in the upcoming months. We do have a recall list. We will recall employees up to two years as job openings arise and after that they will go through the usual hiring process.” Listening to the superintendent go on and on about how sad it is to lose all these jobs, it is easy to see what the priorities of the school are, and that is to provide jobs to the employees of the school, and the school believes that if they somehow cannot provide jobs to teachers and administrators then they have failed.
That’s the only way to explain Superintendent Mantia’s complete lack of understanding of what her budget problems are. She specifically stated that the problems were “caused” by the failed school levies over the last couple of years. She did not acknowledge the fact that the “cause” of her budget problems were that Lakota had too many employees making too much money on the pay role. She also did not say that she could have kept all 141 positions if she could have asked the labor union at the LEA to take a 3% pay reduction to save their “brothers and sisters” jobs at Lakota. No—nobody suggested that—except me.
Instead the superintendent of Lakota and the school board continued to display that they have no idea why they have a budget problem. This is why they allow their budget costs to control them instead of doing what the rest of the world outside of government does and that’s control costs. Mantia sounded just as dazed and confused as Timothy Gietner did recently declaring that the Obama Administration would do nothing to get out in front of the coming Medicare/Social Security meltdown except raise taxes on the rich, as if it wasn’t the Obama Administration policies that caused the problem. Lakota schools and the rest of the school boards across Ohio are all guilty of the same kind evasion, they truly seem to believe that they did not cause their own problems by making public school jobs some of the most coveted positions available in the modern economy, because nowhere else can an employee work so little and be paid so much. All these public employees have a nice little scam going, as if they truly believe the solution to the world’s problems is to give everyone a government job and everything will solve itself. Gietner certainly believes such things, and his boss Barry Obama certainly does—and without question Superintendent Mantia of Lakota does. That is why she’s so sad to see all those jobs go, even though most of them should have been cut a year or two ago anyway.
I know one of the positions at Lakota that will be vacant soon is Keith Klein who interviewed today for an assistant superintendent position in another distirct. Klein is currently the principle at Lakota East. That’s good, because once Klein leaves Lakota will save an additional $110,000 per year in wages. Since enrollment will be down at Lakota in the coming years that means there will be many more employees like Keith Klein who occupy wages at the top of the pay scale will also be leaving to avoid the kind of things that are crawling around in the wake of good ol’ Keith. In fact, the layoffs that Mantia announced are just the start. Within a few years there will be a number of school buildings that will be empty as there just won’t be enough students to fill them, and thus—no need for the employees any longer. Lakota’s budget next year is set to be $154 million, and as enrollment demands drop off, and employees like Keith Klein continue to turn in their resignations saving the district millions with their departure, Lakota looks to have a promising future.
But school officials are having this activity happen to them by default because the communities have taken the steps of turning off the money to these bottomless pits of government school budgets. They didn’t come up with these management methods on their own, which is why Superintendent Mantia looks like she just got blasted out of a cannon, because everything that is happening to her goes against her training as a government school employee—which was to make good paying jobs off tax payer money. Suddenly the tax payers have said they’ve had enough, and no more money is coming, so the schools have to figure out how to solve their problems—like they should have always been doing.
Monroe schools hopes that they can avoid the fate of Lakota by dancing around the issue as long as they can. Hopefully for them–if they are lucky–they will see many of their top wage earners employed at their school retire or leave for another school system so that budget room will be freed up. This is how you balance a budget. If your revenue is limited, which at some point they all must be, then you ask employees to live within the budget with pay reductions, or you reduce the number of employees to meet your revenue. Throwing a fit like a small child is not acceptable, and spending even more money on public relations manipulation in an effort to make the public feel sorry for the management of the district is pathetic, and pretentious. Hopefully Monroe will learn something from Superintendent Mantia and not make fools of themselves with a lot of noise that essentially means nothing, because the voice of the public must be obeyed and not twisted maliciously as Lakota has attempted to do which divided the community in half politically. In the end the community will come to realize in Monroe what has been learned in Lakota, and that’s all government schools are microcosms of the macrocosm of government in general. And attempting to feed that monster is a worthless enterprise and the sooner people stop doing it, the sooner they can stop being eaten by a system that never stops being hungry and seeks to devour everything in their path on a mission to destroy private enterprise, private property, and enslave the whole world into more and more government.
It is amazing how tilted the table is when someone isn’t a liberal, progressive, or public employee thief yet uses inflammatory language to make a point—because the other side certainly does it. Wasn’t it Barrack Obama who threatened to blow up the Jonas Brothers to protect his children with a predator drone. Hmmmmmmm…….or what about when President Obama’s union brother Jimmy Hoffa said he was going to “take these sons of bitches out” meaning the Tea Party at a rally in Detroit during the election of 2011. Apparently, the rules are, if you are from one side of the political aisle, you can say and do anything you want. If you are from the other side, like Ted Nugent, or Sarah Palin then everything said will be used against you in the court of public opinion.
The newspapers carried the story with vivid language used by me to describe my latté sipping enemies in full text, which surprised me. Every radio station in town read those articles on the air to over a million listeners combined in the tri-state area of Cincinnati. I heard it on radios when I went to pump gas at the gas station, from the kitchens of restaurants when I went out to eat, and from the downed windows in people’s cars. It was on FM radio as well as AM radio all day long. It was my first time up close and personal in seeing the kind of progressive manipulation that I’ve watched happen to people like Mel Gibson after he made the film The Passion, Rush Limbaugh on many occasions particularly over his Donovan McNabb comments a few years ago, and Glenn Beck countless times. Growing up I watched how progressive film reviewers went after Clint Eastwood aggressively over every film he made, particularly the Dirty Harry films and Eastwood would purposely fight back with pithy comments of his own. This went on until Eastwood made the film White Hunter Black Heart and decidedly become more of a filmmaking moderate then progressives no longer saw him as a threat and started to let him off the hook.
Progressive antagonists have learned these character assassination tactics properly from people like Saul Alinsky—who was trained by the mob in Chicago—how to engage in public relations terrorism, and they have used those tactics to eliminate their political enemies with the same effectiveness. When a political enemy has the moral high ground they are to be put on their defenses by answering a negative—which cannot be overcome easily. In Mel Gibson’s case he was a wild and crazy party guy for years and Hollywood loved him for it. All during his Lethal Weapon films his antics with women and drinking were legendary and everyone wanted to party with Mel. But Mel had a very serious side, which started to come out in films like Man Without a Face, and eventually Braveheart referenced by Ted Nugent. After Braveheart Mel became a serious threat. Hollywood wanted more of that kind of material, but they failed to understand where in Gibson’s heart these films came from. Braveheart was a very passionate, patriotic film, but it was about the faraway land of Scotland. Mel Gibson gave studios what they thought they wanted with The Patriot, which was another Braveheart type of film, but this time centering on the American Revolution and that crossed the line of the progressive agenda. At that point, progressives in the film community started coming after Mel Gibson with their name calling terrorism.
Gibson responded to his critics by making one of the most obscure and controversial films in the history of cinema, The Passion. He showed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in all the glory a long time Catholic might envision, and he had a creative license to do so. After all—it’s a free society and anybody is allowed to make a film about the life of Christ and they have tried. They just didn’t do it as good—and with the horsepower of Mel Gibson. So the forces who seek to strip away religion in America and implement the progressive agenda had enough of Mel Gibson. No longer would his wild exploits with women be accepted, or his untamed drinking–many of the things that made him popular in the first place. Now Mel Gibson would be called anti-Semitic by his political enemies and he will carry that label for the rest of his life. It’s similar to being branded on the forehead in a puritan community for adultery.
My political enemies attempted to use all these methods on me even at the local level to brand me forever as a “woman hater” because I don’t support the progressive platform of women. The evidence in my life clearly shows that I love women, but in the court of public opinion, that doesn’t matter. Progressives are not interested in facts, they are only interested in what advances their agenda and there is a double standard. They are allowed to cast any aspersion desired since many of them don’t have any value system that allows them to feel guilt. The same tactics cannot be used back at them, by the rules they’ve established, because they hide their individuality into a collective blob of mob mentality.
This disparity has occurred down the basic line of good and evil. Those who are good in heart and mind even if they are wild and crazy guys like Mel Gibson tend to care too much to play this game, and they end up playing the game poorly losing almost every time. The typical progressive does not have individual value—their values are in group assimilation—so as long as the group is behind them, they are happy no matter what coercion methods are used. But for people like me, or Ted Nugent, or Clint Eastwood over the years, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh—people who stand individually out on that limb and take the risk of it being cut off—they are vulnerable, and the progressive assimilation knows it. Individuals have no support structure.
Their methods have worked for over 100 years—that is, until now. What the collectivist progressives do not understand is the ability of the individual to stand on their own. Mel Gibson has shown that he could care less what people say about him and he is proceeding on. Ted Nugent is obviously not in the least rattled by his little visit by the Secret Service, and he could care less if Mitt Romney decides to play the pussy game of the typical conservative and distance himself from Nugent, even after Ted offered his endorsement.Such people are no different from Judas betraying Jesus showed so vividly in Mel Gibson’s The Passion. For me, I’ve been kissed on the cheek by so many “Judas” types over the years that I simply wipe away the lipstick with the same disregard that I pick bugs off my face after a long motorcycle ride. It simply doesn’t faze me, because I expect betrayal and weakness when dealing with collectivists. Those weaknesses cannot be allowed to set public policy any more. To fight the progressive you have to no longer care what they think or say. You just have to act authentically from the center of your own conscience.
And do yourself a favor—if you haven’t watched it in a while, watch The Patriot, by Mel Gibson. It is because of films like that—that he suffers now. So show your appreciation by encouraging your families and friends to see it again. Stand by those who stand individually against the waves of tyranny–because it’s not easy, and their actions are all that stands between freedom and serfdom for everyone else.
World War III began on September 11th 2001 with the aggressive act of Muslim extremists provoked by many forces who desire to rule the world. Similar as to how Japan followed the aggressive tendency of Germany and Italy toward world domination–to be sorted out later, it is Russia, China, and the Muslim Caliphate who is seeking to do the same in our modern age.
I think I may have been one of the few people a year ago to state clearly my thoughts that the KGB had infiltrated our school systems, our government, and our media at all levels to bring about a slow erosion of the greatness that is America—not with weapons of war, but weapons of complacency. When I made those statements back in June of 2011 in a serious editorial, and much earlier with pure speculation, my thoughts about how aggressive American enemies were in destroying our way of life seemed more appropriate for science fiction than journalistic credibility, but as I watched a recent video by The John Birch Society about the rise to power of RT TV—otherwise known as Russia Today News, my doubts about Russia and the other American aggressors have been erased.
Through our schools, we have been taught to reject all value. They have placed every American into a straightjacket of doubt. They’ve taken away our war games on the playground by demonizing the gun. They’ve instead provided the distraction of sex to satisfy our aggressive whims. They have taken away our God, so to replace it with their own version. The Muslims have made it clear they will tolerate no criticism of their belief system and expect the world to bow at their feet or be destroyed.
This is a real problem. Speaking with people who tend to be radical Muslims is frustrating, since they chose to be second-handlers to rationality. They have allowed someone from a distant time and place to dictate their beliefs. It’s the same frustrating argument I’ve had with radical Christians who declare that there were never dinosaurs because they aren’t in the Bible. It’s the same argument I’ve had with Mormons who swear that Joseph Smith found the golden plates that founded that religion in his back yard. Or it’s the same argument that I’ve had with Buddhists who believe literally that Siddhartha Gautama fought off three temptations under the famous bodhi tree. All these forms of religion are a form of evasion which take the responsibility of discovery away from the second-handler who wishes for their thoughts to be given to their minds, not earned through observation and reason. Religion certainly has its place in helping a person understand the mysteries of their eventual fates, but the powerful dictators of the world have always used religion to club their subjects over the head into carrying out their tyrannical desires. Religion and its beliefs have been the cause of many wars, including World War lll.
It was only in 622 A.D that the prophet Muhammad performed the Hejira traveling from Mecca to Medina marking the start of the Muslim era. Ironically this is also the start of what is known as The Dark Ages, where religion attempted to suppress any knowledge of anything that didn’t fit their world view. Much like the modern radical Christian will reject science because knowledge threatens their belief system–such as rejecting that dinosaurs walked the planet, many religious fanatics in The Dark Ages believed that by denying science they could carry on the illusion of their evasion. Religious leaders encouraged this behavior because it created classes of second-handlers who were all too happy to allow a religious leader to think for them, and instruct them how to behave.
I’ve worked with several devout Muslims over the years and watched them do their prayer toward Mecca at certain times of the day and I’d ask them why the hell they were always on the ground praying. They would tell me that they’d hope that Allah would notice their obedience and that they’d follow the example of Muhammad, and that if I wished eternal life, I’d pray with them.
They would give me the look of fear when I declared to them that I don’t give my obedience to anyone—living or dead, of the flesh or of spiritual form.
“Americans, you don’t understand,” they’d tell me. I’d then remind them that they were technically “American” and that the reason there was separation of church and state in The United States was so that people could pray on the ground if they wanted to—or not. It didn’t have any bearing on the quality of an American whether or not they are Muslim, Christian, Mormon or anything else, because religion is not what makes an American. It’s the value that a person has that makes them American. Religion is just a reflection of value—it doesn’t “provide” value.
What is typical of most dictators is that they use “religion” or an idea that can unite a belief system into a limited frame of thinking and this is what is being done with the Muslim radicals and how those extremists were pushed into running airplanes into the World Trade Center—the symbol of the American economy. It is that act which caused America to destroy our Constitutional principals in pursuit of safety and spend ourselves into debt while the enemies of The United States licked their lips in delight as a hungry wolf eyes its prey.
China has worked with Russia before, so they are happy to continue their role of using their upcoming superpower status to buy up property all over the world particularly in the Caribbean, at the front door of the United States. Of course all these transactions are with smiles and handshakes, much in the way that Russia Today is catering to Ron Paul supporters to “earn” their trust, while actually planning sinister military maneuvers in the future. America can do nothing about these land purchases, because China holds such a large portion of The United States debt. Go ahead, read about it for yourself at the link below.
Americans have been trained to be second-handles, to be passive, to embrace peace, to turn the other cheek and allow our enemies to steam roll right over us. We’ve been trained by the enemy themselves, under the false flag of “peace” through the music of the Beatles, and the British Invasion, through the hippies, the racists, the feminists, the Neo Nazi’s, the religious fanatics, and the “academics,” to turn away and pass no judgment. “Judge not least ye be judged.” “Do not throw stones in glass houses.” “Turn the other cheek,” this is what we are told to do as radicals took our Ten Commandments down off the wall of our courthouses, and as Muslims showed their desire to build a Mosque on a “conquered territory,” (The World Trade Center Site) We turned away from our aggressors and turned on the television and watched Americas Got Talent. Our youth do not have the heart for war, and our enemies know it. American youth are more concerned about legalizing drugs and whether or not they can marry their same-sex lover, rather than thinking about Russia stealing away the American Constitution with subversion. Yes, many former KGB agents are sipping vodka and congratulating themselves on a job well done.
Yes dear reader—it has already happened and the enemies of America wish to cast the world into another period of The Dark Ages run under a communist flag. There is no question any longer, the intentions are right out in the open. The enemy has used the classic strategy from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War—they have prevailed over those who have already lost. America has already lost because it does not see a need to fight. The will to fight has been breed out of our young like a puppy neutered at birth, and they did it by infecting our minds with passivism. They did it by earning our trust then slitting our throats when we least expected it—metaphorically speaking. Just like those Muslim extremists watched closely by the FBI in Florida failed to act against the suspicious terrorists, because they were too passive, made that way by a radical religion who lashes out at anyone who questions their intentions. This is how airplanes were hijacked and lives were lost, and America attempted to spend money to solve the security breech when the real villain was our lack of ability to determine right from wrong in the first place. America hopes that the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA can do what we’ve all forgotten to do, and that is call a villain a villain. Americans have become evasive second-handlers because in just two generations, we allowed the enemy to destroy our minds, and our will to protect ourselves.
Manipulation of this magnitude is certainly within the realm of the KGB and even our own CIA. And the ramifications have already happened. The war has already started. Your town is already occupied. Your school, your government buildings, your White House no longer listens to the wishes of the voting public, but to those who hold their purse strings, and that money is no longer home grown in America. The new atomic bomb is not nuclear and destructive in its capacity. It’s economic and is aimed at devaluation of the dollar and crushing the standard of living for every American so that their will is broken, and that they will easily eat out of the hand of Putin, or The Muslim Brotherhood.
Yes, World War lll is already over a decade old. We just didn’t know the war started because we had our massive military ready to fight, we had our planes on the launch pad, and we had our missiles pointed where we thought the threat was. But the attack did not come from weapons, but from the destruction of the idea of what being an American is. And for that, no weapons are needed, just a corruption of our ideas, and a manipulation by the spies of the world who work on behalf of their governments—our enemies of war. Our enemies knew they could not beat us head to head in a military fight, so they used the oldest trick in the book taken from the pages of Troy—they used the Trojan Horse. But this time there isn’t just one enemy who has penetrated our ideological walls to get the enemy behind our lines, but many. And one of them is certainly Russia Today.
Before we get into the next Glenn Beck episode of The Oval seen at the end of this article, I’d like to show you a clip from my friend Matt Clark’s recent broadcast on his Clarkcast radio show heard on WAAM in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Matt has some wonderful audio that articulates magnificently the current condition of our youth and direction of our nation. Check it out:
As I’ve stated on many occasions collectivism is a disease of the human mind. Like the advocates of destruction so wonderfully stated in the broadcast from Matt, collectivists are philosophic terrorists intentionally provoking the collapse of all growth and human achievement. If left to their own devices, they intend to make all listeners to their diatribes flock like barn-yard animals to the seduction of their collectivism. They are philosophic terrorists because it is philosophy that builds everything that the human mind values. Without a positive philosophy that feeds the mind, the mind falls apart like water out of a container, and just becomes a mess of unorganized water molecules.
The collective terrorists of philosophy will declare that all water molecules are void of any individualism, and that the true state of their being is no different from a drop of ocean water. Collectivists have adopted this thinking from the philosophy of Buddhism and teachings of Confucius, the later who taught that one should never desire to leave their social station in life and climb for power. The teachings of collectivism began in Napal, and China and moved eastward and westward clashing with the individualism of the Occident over the borders of India, and Russia.
It was the hippie movement injected into American culture from KGB agents who sought out nirvana as the highest state of human achievement and this came directly from the philosophies of the East, the land where humble modesty has always been in vogue.
The destructive terrorism occurs when one attempts to combine the philosophy of eastern collectivism with the individualism of western philosophy that is primarily about the individual experience. When the two are mixed together you get the self-destructive, environmental warrior—hippie type. Those are the dangerous collectivists who believe they can do anything they want whenever they want to and that the cost for the behavior will be picked up by the collective society. That is the sickness of the people in Matt’s video. They are a danger to themselves and to the world around them, and they are breeding physically and spiritually.
Their message is seductive to the weak-minded, because there are no consequences for decisions made. The message of the philosophic terrorists is also seductive to those who lack courage, since they are encouraged to ride on the back of the strong and productive making them parasites to the good. This is why the philosophic terrorists are considered the worst kind of evil—because they cannot function on their own—they require the effort of others to function. And when the responsibility for their actions does fall on their shoulders once there are no longer enough of the strong backs to carry the collectivists any longer, they advocate a complete wiping away of the responsibility slate. They profess that someone else must pay for their actions.
This group of philosophic terrorists has grown so large that they now have their own President in the United States White House—in what some might call the first representative of The Weather Underground to occupy the Oval Office in order to execute further destruction of the philosophy of hard work and innovation that made America so great. The philosophic terrorists of collectivism have sought to put an end to America so that their collectivist vision of discombobulated eastern philosophic understanding can become a reality reflecting the fantasy of their minds. Yet it can’t, because reality desires what’s good for the progress of life, and life will seek out the good and reject the bad in every instance.
This is why Glenn Beck sadly has to build his own version of The Oval Office and sit in it to address the American people in the fashion that would normally be reserved for the President of the United States. To American peril the current president was built by the kind of people who Matt Clark featured, and seems determined to carry out the philosophic terrorist policies of a collectivist society—that is fundamentally anti-American. So Glenn presented his recent Oval Office speech with the theme of teaching Americans to take command of their own paths in life, to instruct the government to get out of their lives and not accept the help of the collectivists in government. Every American needs to take command of their own lives and respect themselves first, then in so doing, learning to respect others by acknowledging the value of existence.
The message of the philosophic terrorists behind collectivism is in undoing value. This is why they fail in relationships because they do not value themselves, let alone value others. This is why they fail in economics because they have no understanding of value since they believe that all obligations can simply be erased. This is why their societies fail, because they do not see the values of—values. They believe the world can be a mixed up conglomeration of multiple beliefs with no emphasis on good or bad, and that simply isn’t true and doesn’t even come close to working in reality.
The sad state of our current country can be blamed on the philosophic terrorists who advocate valueless collectivism irresponsibility stated for many years with the identical message covered by Matt Clark. Those types are everywhere in our public education system, they are in our media, they are writing the songs of our culture and making the films and television shows that we enjoy, they have been built within America by the architects of destruction to undermine everything that is good about America, and that must stop immediately, otherwise the last great place on planet earth that stands for freedom and the greatness of human achievement will be gone forever. This is why Glenn Beck is addressing his second episode of The Oval on the topic of taking personal command of American individual lives. Watch and listen carefully then pass on to a friend.
In September of 2011 at a No Lakota Levy group meeting I told our members that after this next campaign they should search among themselves for another spokesman who could change up the message if Lakota decided to go for fourth levy attempt in 2012. I suggested this for two reasons—first Doc Thompson and I had covered about every aspect of public school funding issues on 700 WLW, and had gathered nearly 20 hours of audio recordings featured here at my Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom site and the message was feeling tired. My hope was that a new face might be able to recharge the campaign efforts to match the musical chairs the Lakota school system utilizes in their campaign efforts. It makes me very proud to see that over the fall of 2011 into the winter of 2012 that No Lakota Levy has three such fresh minded spokesman to pick from on the next campaign. Second—I told our group at No Lakota Levy that I had a new book coming out in the summer of 2012, and that it would require most of my attention. While I would be doing national media events and press obligations, I did not want to be distracted with local political issues, and that I needed a break. Like I told them, writing is how I make a living, and my last book was in 2004, so it was time for me to pay some more bills with my next book that had been three years in the making, which of course they all understood.
A few weeks later I was speaking at a Lakota event with school board members Linda O’Conner and Ray Murray and I told them about my plans in 2012 involving my book. I told them that if this fall levy goes down that they better not think of putting on another one because I would be busy in 2012. When indications from Lakota were the same old games leaning toward a new school levy attempt, I decided to end my spokesman position with No Lakota Levy with a bang, instead of a whimper, because a whimper might send the wrong message to the community if I just backed out and let someone else from No Lakota Levy take over while I went to work promoting my new book. So having a much more colorful ending as spokesman fulfilled many of the strategy needs I had and more importantly allowed me to put my energy into the release of my new novel, Tail of the Dragon. (CLICK HERE)
My political enemies assumed that No Lakota Levy was paying me to be some sort of lobbyist and that if we were separated, then my work at this site would go away, and I would be removed from the political scene. However, what my political enemies didn’t know was that I always operated Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom as a news feed for not just No Lakota Levy, but levy fighting groups all over America. In fact I have daily readers in Europe and Australia, so my levy work has always been separate from my spokesman role for No Lakota Levy. Also, once 700 WLW decided to take more of a middle of the road approach to their broadcasts, there wasn’t as much need for my work in that fashion. And like Doc Thompson and I joked about just the other day—how much more could we say? People by now realize that the public school funding situation is a complete joke that is dominated by labor unions who are clearly not out for the “children.” So it was time to change things around a bit, and it was my chance to make some fireworks.
But that does not mean that I won’t fight the next levy attempts. I will still do as I have below, write and contribute articles exposing what is wrong with the situations surrounding public education, and I’ll do it in the same fashion as I have before. What I needed freedom from regarding No Lakota Levy was the straight jacket of being spokesman for a larger group. I found I could not maintain that confining position while at the same time putting on my sales hat to promote my novel. The two roles are just too opposed to one another that I didn’t feel I could commit myself in the same fashion as I had on the previous three levy attempts.
But rest assured, there will still be daily articles here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom, and I will give media interviews when needed. No Lakota Levy should be able to perform those tasks without me, but if I need to I will happily contribute to the next public debate over school levies as I have in the past. In fact the letter below is just an example of such contributions that appeared in the April 19th Pulse Journal. So levy fighters don’t worry, there is more resistance now than there was before and I will not stop doing what I’ve done all along. But while I am working on a national campaign for my new novel, it is disingenuous and overly confining to represent a group of people who simply want to keep themselves from being raked over the coals with tax increases. And also, I need the ability to call my political enemies latté sipping prostitutes. That’s important to me………………..I get tired of all that touchy, feely hand-shaking crap.
Now, enjoy my latest Letter to the Editor as it appeared in the Pulse Journal.
Another graduating class at Lakota will be leaving as the school year comes to a close. Doing a bit of math, it appears that Lakota will have nearly 1000 students leaving our facilities this year and in the years to come. That means Lakota will have declining enrollment for possibly the next two decades since the real estate growth has peaked in our community. That should take the pressure off the budget deficit considerably. That is good news.
But there are still calls by some to push another school levy even with this knowledge of declining enrollment. And to pave the way for a new levy there have been calls for me to apologize to the various PTA groups over things I said about them as evidence of this new levy push emerged. But what hasn’t been discussed was the reason for the anger.
If Lakota had proposed a tax and respected the votes of the people the first couple of attempts, the tension now wouldn’t be so high. But when there are members of the PTA groups and other pro levy factions who actively sought to boycott businesses and bring coercion to individuals they know voted against the school levies to “persuade” them to vote differently on the next attempt, then we’re not talking about simple politics anymore, we’re talking about something much more serious. If an election can’t be won without vandalism, coercion and media domination, then someone should probably check to see if they’re on the right side of things. Yet the only avenue explored besides drastic, punishing cuts, has been tax increases disrespecting the will of the voters over three elections so far.
Lakota should be able to balance its budget with fewer enrollments unless they do something reckless like give all their employees raises just for breathing air, which they might actually try, but not until 2014. If they do attempt another levy, I can promise a much more “colorful” campaign against them than they’ve seen up to this point, because this is getting ridiculous. The path of Little Miami is not the correct one.
The “Lash of Extremism,” I like the sound of that. Such is the title of a recent article by Steve Morrison of the Dayton Progressive Examiner commenting on my various controversies of late. Morrison is of course referring to my work as a bullwhip artist and performer—which to me is an American form of martial art. But for the progressive community they have to find something to attempt to turn the public against me so they resort to the same old tactics they have used for years—they call people names. You can see Morrison’s article at the link below.
Since the attempt of Morrison’s article is to paint me as a backwater, “cowboy type” that has no interest in an “advanced society” I have included pictures from my booth at the Indie Gathering Film Festival that is put on by a couple of my friends from the World Stunt Association of which I’m a member. My philosophic intentions are quite the opposite from how the progressive community believes. It is my premise that the intellectual elite who have formed the thoughts and feelings of progressive politics currently are incorrect, and therefore everything they support must be examined. I arrived at these conclusions by interacting with many kinds of people and enjoying contact with multiple professions over many years. My work with bullwhips as an art form has given me insight that many progressives are lacking in their education experiences and deserves examination in light of the progressive critique of my lifestyle.
Now my controversy was initiated when I called a group of school levy supporters at Lakota “latte sipping prostitutes” that was actually toned down language from what I wanted to call them. I was seeking to provide an explanation for their lack of value in money. But the mudslinging had been initiated by the pro levy crowd already and after two years of seeing first hand attempts at coercion, vandalism, and boycotts against voters who voted against the proposed school levies, I came to a point where I had enough of the crap.
Like any good strategy, it is good to provoke your opponent to see how they behave and—how their network works. To be honest, until this latest incident I had never heard of this Dayton Progressive Examiner or the writer. But like many who showed their asses that day of March 15th, much was learned by me of who, what, why, when, and where. I ran across Morrison’s article from a reader here who wanted to make me aware of it, and I’m glad they did.
Morrison in his article exhibits many of the primary traits that make progressive political involvement in public education so detrimental, and necessitates a fumigation process by the tax payers to remove them from educating our youth. If left unchallenged these types of progressive collectivists seek a destruction of everything people like me who value traditional American Excepetionalism cherish. Morrison in his article tries the same tactic that David Little attempted a year and a half ago—the standard progressive approach, poke fun at my use of bullwhips.In the following clip it shows a bit more of the film festival mentioned in a broader context and the “networking” room from the pictures above. Ironically, many of the creative types at these film festivals are progressively minded, and I get along with them because we all share a love of art, stunts, and story telling. We usually center our discussions on what we have in common, not what we disagree with. Where these filmmakers differ from other progressive minded people is they behave “independently.” They fund their own projects and take control of their endeavors from womb to tomb, and this is a critical difference between the “creative progressive” and the “collective progressive” which many government employees resemble most.
In the minds of collectivists, they only see value in people who work in other collectivist occupations, such as teachers, firemen, police, IRS agents and other government work, because it fits their mentality—group collectivity. My use of a bullwhip and commitment to traditional American arts is a threat to their value system, so they seek to belittle it hoping the masses will apply pressure against me to change my behavior. However—what they don’t know or understand is that it’s the individual that has all the power, and art forms that embrace that individuality is universally loved. I’ve performed whip tricks in front of thousands of people over the years in all kinds of formats and in a live performance, everyone enjoys the show. It’s a talent that has been very good to me. In the clip below, I’m the one with the fire whip.
The troubling aspect to Morrison’s article is that he called me “the preeminent anti-levy bully” and that I “live by the bumper sticker, ‘if you think education is expensive, try ignorance.’” He goes on to say that nobody likes taxes, but everyone should support without question the touchy, feely leanings of the progressive legislator. He states that taxes are a necessary evil because the alternative is “to write a check before traversing on any road, calling on any first-responder or sending your child to any school.”
Well, the verdict is in, and public education is not making children intelligent. In fact, I’d say the evidence is very clear that it is public education that is responsible for much ignorance in the world, especially in America, and it is bleeding heart progressives who have propagated that ignorance. Because you have to be pretty ignorant to believe what these people tell you. Roads are paid with gas taxes. First responders should be voluntary, and no labor union should be involved in those community positions. Many of them are playing Call of Duty at the firehouse as I write this all dressed up and nowhere to go until someone has an accident. And the schools should be paid for by the parents. It should not be a state or federal responsibility. It is not my responsibility to provide an education to anyone’s child. It’s the obligation of the child’s parents. And if public education did not have a monopoly on the industry, the costs would come down, and politicians would actually think about dealing with the funding problem in Ohio and pay for education with the taxes already sent to the state.
All those programs that Morrison listed above are progressive, utopian fantasies. I don’t want free education for every American, because kids don’t value it if it’s free. And teacher unions take advantage of the monopoly, because everyone has to go to school by federal mandate and tax payers are obligated to pay for children they may not even care about or desire to help. Progressives have created a world where the spongy minded can ride on the backs of those who produce value, and that is not a correct system. The only people who benefit from such a system are progressive minded people like Morrison.
They call me the Preeminent Anti-Levy Bully because I have interrupted their fantasy of utopia, this world they’ve built through extortion. Well, it takes one to know one, and in this situation when a progressive calls me a bully, I take it as a compliment—because that is the pot calling the kettle black. It is their bully tactics–not by using muscle–but peer pressure that has caused many of the problems we are dealing with in every aspect of society today. It is because of them that there are bully problems in school, because the kid’s watch how the adults and teachers behave in politics–how can a teacher STRIKEwith their union and then tell a child not to bully another child? They can’t! Progressives at every level of politics engage in bully behavior and they are not used to anybody standing up to them—or calling them “latte sipping prostitutes.” They wish to believe they are more valuable to society and to their families than they really are, because like their politics inherited from Immanuel Kant and modified by Karl Marx, they are two people inside one mind. They are people of the living world, and they are people of some other fictional world that exists outside their understanding which they surrender logic to. The reason for their failure is embodied Kant’s term “there are two worlds: the world of experience sensed by our bodies and the world as it is in itself.” Progressives surrender their logic to this second world and believe through their collective vision that they are guided by faith made profitable by sacrifice. And the sacrificial victims are always individuals—which is the heartbeat of American Excepetionalism.
This is why a progressive can never answer a question, because their entire political belief is based on faith in a collective world and is not based on fact. Anyone who makes them look at the “world of experience” is a bully to them, because they don’t wish to see it.
So I proudly carry the term bully if that’s how they see me. It means they are getting the message. Of course my actions to their minds are extreme because I reject the premise of their entire existence—and why shouldn’t I? They require sacrifices from me while I require nothing of them. They require me to need their roads, their education, their fire department, their utopia! They need me to desire the protective blanket of their collective society, but I don’t want it! I reject it! And when I do, they call me names. And when I get mad and call them names back—or worse, they feel entitled to pull on all the resources of their progressive society to “bully” me into compliance to their wishes. That’s what they did on March 15th of which Steve Morrison played his part. He had his article written almost as fast as the Cincinnati Enquirer posted it, almost by the hour. They wanted my compliance at any cost. That is their message. And for saying such a thing, they call me the extremist—they call me the bully.

Dear reader, if you are still in denial that Barack Obama is a planted—created personality fashioned by the enemies of America you can stop your skepticism at this time. The new film by Dinesh D’Souza produced by the great Gerald Molen called 2016 will bring to light just how serious and to what extent Obama was placed into our culture to dismantle it. But you don’t have to wait to see D’Souza’s new film. The evidence is all around us. But first, check out a preview and short talk by that director at CPAC.
It is well-known that climate science is the altruistic fantasy of the progressive movement which is why Al Gore was the primary advocate and President Obama is now carrying the torch. To believe in climate science to the effect that the human race is so audacious as to actually overcome the effects of the sun and induce planetary warming with the pathetically small levels of greenhouse gas that our society emits, is preposterous. Yet progressive advocates who desire global socialism seek to use climate science to destroy all of society in an Aztec like sacrificial worship of the divine God called Mother Nature. But those mind-bending, catatonic, progressives are in error and in case you missed the memo, 49 former NASA scientist and astronauts sent a letter to the current NASA Administrator Charles Bolden admonishing the agency for its recent role in advocating that man-made C02 is a major cause of climate change. You can read that letter to Charles and see who signed the letter below. (CLICK THE LINK TO VIEW)
This letter went to the same Charles Bolden who was a figure of great controversy a few years ago. In 2010 Charles gave an interview where he revealed that President Obama told Bolden that his primary objective for NASA was not to send more astronauts to the moon, or even to bring about the next generation of the Space Shuttle. It was to reach out to the Muslim world and make them feel good about themselves.
Bolden in that clip obviously eats out of the hand of President Obama and is either so concerned that NASA will receive more budget cuts from Obama’s administration, or Bolden has been put in place to advance the global socialism Obama intends. It is clear that President Obama is not interested in NASA’s former greatness in being the kind of organization that invented Velcro and put men on the moon, but desires the rest of the world to become more proficient in their space programs with the United States out-of-the-way.
Many think that President Obama is a Muslim, although he has said that he’s not. It seems odd however that Obama would put so much emphasis on Muslims. He is not concerned with Buddhists, Hindus, Mormons, Scientologists, or even Christians—but Muslims. The employees who built the reputation of NASA have had to watch President Obama dismantle all their hard work with trivial nonsense and a pattern of behavior that anyone can see clearly.
Obama has purposely put a stop to NASA and done what the Soviet Union during the Cold War only fantasized about—ended the National Aeronautical Space Administration dominance in travel outside the globe in a progressive quest to honor Mother Nature. You see global warming freaks who wish to worship their incestuous Mother Nature desire to make their mother happy by ensuring nobody can ever leave Mother’s home. To make their mother happy, they are willing to cut out the legs of anyone who might escape Mother’s home. In this case it is NASA who promises to take mankind off planet earth, but progressives don’t want to see that happen, because they require captives chained to earth to believe their rhetoric and give them power.
If manufacturing and other industry were to move into space then who would listen to the preachings of the global warming freaks? To what God would the globalists sacrifice to? The progressive globalists would see that the control of their Mother Nature would be diminished as humans colonized the moon, and Mars, and built huge space stations to live in orbiting the planet. Mother Nature would have to look up at mankind as they leave her loving arms and she might be very sad.
The global warming freaks are like those suck-ass siblings who never leave the side of their mothers, and hope to bend the entire family around their illness in sacrificial service to their corrupt mothers. In this case it is Barack Obama who speaks on behalf of the global greenie weenies. His dedication to the Muslim religion is a convenient excuse to deter the efforts of NASA into productive executions of their energy. And then forcing NASA to buy into the global warming conspiracy by threatening to cut even more funding to the agency from the Obama Administration serves both objectives. Global warming advocates get respected NASA scientists to endorse their sorcery, while Obama pretends he’s making reasonable budget cuts. But in essence the action on behalf of the government is the threat of a thug bullying someone to force them to act against their reasonable thinking.
But not all NASA personnel is willing to play along, and that is the nature of their letter to Charles Bolden. It is commendable that those men and women named in the letter refuting the science of Global Warming as used by the progressive machine of Barack Obama and Charles Bolden were willing to stick up for themselves when it has been obvious that they have been coerced and bullied into action that was not in their best interest.
As we brace ourselves for D’Souza’s new film 2016 the evidence of Obama’s treachery is not in some far away conspiracy theory—it is happening right in front of us all. It is noticeable in many small ways. But it’s easy to see it in the big things too. Barack Obama is a climate science voodoo subscriber that desires to make Mother Nature proud of her children by not straying too far from home and cleaving to her breasts for milk and sustenance. The greenie weenies wish to make mother proud and chastise all those who wish to grow away from her grace.
In reality those global altruists are as sophisticated as the ancient Aztecs and their obsession with human sacrifice in a belief that the still beating human hearts ripped from a slain victim will bring water and food to their people. The modern equivalent is Barack Obama, Al Gore and other progressives who deem themselves the priests of a global mass sacrifice. They would see NASA destroyed and every American driving a Smart Car designed for children—because that’s how they see us all—as their children. That is, until a group of NASA scientists decided to stand up for themselves and the agency they helped to build—and told Bolden and his boss Obama—to go to hell.
