Mt. Healthy’s Class of 2012: Punishing parents for loving their children

When a Mt. Healthy star football player recently graduated his family cheered extensively, according to the Mt. Healthy superintendent. The young man’s family cheered so much that the ceremony was held up by the superintendent untill the cheering stopped. You can see in the clip below how the superintendent purposely stopped the next name from being read off till the arena was once again silent as she had instructed prior to the graduation ceremony. The Mt. Healthy superintendent was working from a political agenda that is spreading across the country in 2012 and the threat of keeping the student’s graduation certification for not following the school rules is not an isolated case in Mt Healthy, Ohio. The superintendent could have allowed the next name to be read, and everyone would have heard, but she purposely stopped the ceremony so she could enforce the nationwide agenda circulating around Department of Education under the leadership of Emperor Obama.

The school for that small display of fanfare from the graduating student’s family felt it had the community authority to enforce twenty hours of community service for not following the school rules. The superintendent of Mt. Healthy and her staff are of course insane in their beliefs, and way out of line. The school even if they did have students sign a document before the ceremony taking responsibility for any outlandish behavior do not have the right to enforce such a measure. The school of Mt. Healthy has forgotten that they are but employees of the parents and students, not a governmental ENFORCER of bureaucratic policies! The effort of the Mt. Healthy superintendent is further proof that public schools are progressive institutions intent on destroying individuality with subtle messages of communism. The Mt. Healthy school district has no authority to force the young graduate or his family to perform any community service as reported by Channel 9 News, yet they did anyway and audaciously proclaimed themselves judge, jury, and executioner.

This behavior exhibits how far reaching public schools see their roles in the modern family, and the intention is to prevent exhibitions of this kind that highlight the efforts of individuals. All the students as mandated by the Obama Department of Education are to be treated equally whether they are black or white, boys or girls, tall or short, skinny or fat, straight or gay, fast or slow, all sounds wonderful taken at face value. But the real intention is not “equality” and “fairness,” but rather selling collectivism by stamping out individuals by discouraging solitary endeavors. This is the same policy that allows progressive politicians to use the so-called “civil rights” movement or “war on woman” to manipulate mass groups of voting blocs to achieve communist aims that are revealed behind the proclamations if looked upon closely. Individual praise is frowned upon in these crusades. It is only sacrifice of the individual for the sake of the collective that they highlight for the good of the masses.

The message sent to the Class of 2012 at Mt. Healthy is not fairness for the next student to be called after all the cheering, but to let every member of the arena know that individual Excepetionalism will not be tolerated. I listened to the Mt. Healthy superintendent give a few interviews defending her position, and the reporters of course pandered to her crimes, but attempting to sell the far-reaching authority of the Mt. Healthy school district on behalf of fairness and maintaining order for future graduations is rather pathetic. This action by the school district of Mt. Healthy is simply a disguise for the real intention, destruction of individual endeavor. At the Mt. Healthy graduation ceremony cheers for the collective Class of 2012 was acceptable. Cheers for individuals as regulated by the Gestapo superintendent of Mt. Healthy are not.

This trend in public education advocated by the teachers and administrators, many of whom function under socialist leaning philosophy to begin with, is to show that individualism is to be scorned, and collectivism embraced. The message that no one child is special is the common mantra of our day–it is the essence of public education. Educators are less concerned about math scores and knowledge of history. Their primary concern is to make sure that students do not believe they are special in any way unless they play a sport that unites the pride of the school in the community. Individuals are not embraced unless they serve the collective institution. Public education through their government monopoly status and big labor unions are pursuing progressive policies at the cost of the local tax payers. In Mt. Healthy the superintendent there attempted to obtain a tax increase the day after a recent failure by sending a message to the community that they will continue to see tax increases bi-annually forever unless they break down and approve the tax hike. School districts like Mt. Healthy behave like this because they do not view individual families as sacred, but simply as part of the collective blob that makes up their district. So they see no reason why everyone should not support their efforts with tax increases as it is the school district that sets the law in communities. That’s why the Mt. Healthy superintendent thinks she has a right to enforce “community service” on the parents of a graduate if the student doesn’t wish to do it.

Tax payers were always told that if they loved their child, they’d vote for a school levy, because public education is essential to creating a well rounded adult. But what we we’re learning is that public education is truly a process of destroying individual identities so that adults will cast away any notions they may have of growing up uniquely. For the proof and a very audacious example of this public education strategy listen to this administrator tell his class of 2012 that the students in the ceremony are “not special” but are in fact much the same. If you take the time to watch through the first couple of minutes you’ll hear this educrat profess that there is a reason all the student’s caps and gowns make them all uniform—because the intent is for them all to be seen collectively, not individually.

The push for collectivism comes from governments desire to live. So long as society is made up of a collective whole, and not a bunch of free thinking individuals, school teachers, tax auditors, and Washington educrats will have jobs serving the collective blob of people lacking individual identity. Individuals who can do for themselves may find they have no use for government, or the silly socialist schools of public education. Government workers at all levels find themselves promoting collectivism instead of the American principles of individualism because that’s the only way they can keep their very lucrative jobs under the monopoly of government schools, is by keeping people from asking any questions and blindly following orders no matter how ridiculous.

The situation in Mt. Healthy is not the only one of its kind, but it deserves special notice, as the parents of the popular student have refused to do the “community service” demanded by the school. The school revealed too much of their real intentions at the graduation ceremony for the Mt. Healthy Class of 2012. And thank goodness they did, so tax payers can really see what they are paying for. Public schools no matter what the community are teaching open socialism with tax payer dollars, and they will continue to do so until communities demand to put a stop to it. These teaching methods come from the Federal Department of Education, so are not alone the work of the Mt Healthy superintendent. But the responsibility to refuse unjust mandates does fall on the individual families who find themselves attacked by these government schools as they attempt to hold the diploma hostage from students in order to force social change upon the community. This tactic by the superintendent at Mt. Healthy is no different than creating pay-for-play sports to push for levy increases, or cutting busing to punish parents for failing a school levy. Or teachers who march on their school boards with threats of strikes to drive up their wage costs. This time, it is the superintendent who seeks to carry out the Obama platform of progressive education which if given the proper name would be called red communism in full bloom. Communism is all about destroying the individual in favor of the collective, and this is what is going on at graduations all over The United States in 2012. And it will continue until communities stop taking it, and decide to push back, like the parents of the student in Mt. Healthy have done. It is parents like those that make America the greatest country on earth. The rest of the world would take the punishment without question, but not in America. And not in Mt. Healthy. As long as parents like that produce children like that star football player, America will be just fine—and the socialism that the schools intend will perish, one school at a time by simply saying “NO” to the authority of the school, “NO” to the mandates from the DOE, and “NO” to more tax increases which promise to bring more of this behavior with more socialist teachers and their ideologies of individual destruction.

Wayne Allyn Root Speaks about Scott Walker: Diana Fray goes to jail

I would have loved to hear from the Bill Cunningham speaking with Wayne Allyn Root on the day after the historic Wisconsin recall election of Governor Scott Walker, as opposed to the same Bill Cunningham who campaigned against Issue 2 in Ohio working against his friend, Governor Kasich who faced a similar battle in Ohio. The good Bill Cunningham had a wonderful conversation with Root on 700 WLW relishing the first major victory against the mobs of public sector unions and the tyranny those groups have inflicted upon America, as Walker emerged victorious with a 53-47 victory.

The big difference between the Scott Walker situation in Wisconsin and the John Kasich situation in Ohio is that Kasich had a law to defend, Walker had to defend himself. The unions targeted the Republican reforms on collective-bargaining in Ohio by seeking to repeal the entire law. The unions spent millions of dollars and collected more than enough signatures to attack the collective bargaining reform law to keep it out of their lives. The cost has been just as predicted, many schools, police, and fire departments have had to layoff workers to meet their budgets, because Issue 2 was repealed in Ohio during the November 2011 election. The unions were fighting on two fronts, as they also had to spend their national time and money fighting in Wisconsin gathering signatures to recall the governorship of Scott Walker removing him from office entirely, just because the unions didn’t like him.

The audacity of this attempt says everything about what union politics represents. Their attempt to remove a sitting governor not for corruption, or unethical violations against the state constitution, but for reforming collective-bargaining and being too aggressive for their liking was the primary motive. The public unions tried to do against Scott Walker what they have done to every governing body for more than 80 years, and that is impose their collective will upon politics to shape legislation to their liking. But Walker stood strong during the entire attempt to remove him from office, and the Republican Party stood with him firmly, which led to the first major victory against the union mob in union history.

Kasich was not so lucky. Republicans did not stand behind Governor Kasich the way they did with Scott Walker because too many Republicans had climbed into bed with the unions over the years, and could not pick a side in the modern civil war going on between public and private sector jobs. When Issue 2 was defeated, it was a sign that the labor unions advocating open communism could not be beat, so the situation looked grim for Scott Walker.

When Bill Cunningham was growing up, unions seemed to be an unstoppable force. My own dad is about the same age as Cunningham and told me before the first time I went on WLW to speak with Scott Sloan about the tyranny of the teachers unions, “The unions will get you. You have to watch what you say.” My dad, like Cunningham saw firsthand all through the 60’s and 70’s how labor unions driven by communist leaders would destroy the lives of people who stood in their way. To speak out against the unions meant conflict, and many people wish to avoid conflict, so they yielded to the unions for many years which resulted in disproportionate budgets favoring the public unions. Politicians seeking to hide their part in the scam promoted tax increases to hide their fear of the unions.

All public unions function in virtually the same way. Whenever a union president faced a city council, township trustees, or a school board, the standard behavior is to use their union members to protest ANY wage reductions, or insurance premium increases with radical displays and public threats. Most recently, it was Diana Fray who just received 51 months in prison for her theft of a quarter million dollars from her union to take vacations and purchase real estate. She went from being a crusader for the collective mob of her union to a criminal within only weeks of being discovered for her crimes. The only thing that changed was a slight shift in public acceptance. Labor union presidents steal money all the time from their employers with the threat of force. They do not earn pay increases based on merit, but upon coercion. This is how unions have managed to extort so much money from the companies they work for, and from the tax payers, is through threats and intimidation. The only difference for Diana Fray is she didn’t just steal the money from the tax payers, but from her own union too, which in a world of twisted reality, finally crossed the line.

The unions threatened Scott Walker with even death during his first year and a half of office, attempting every trick of thug manipulation used since unions began. They chanted, they attempted violence, the issued death threats, they attempted public humiliation and finally they attempted to use the force of law to batter Walker out of office.

But what Walker has been the first to do on a large-scale is to show the formula for beating these collectivists which every state and local government can now see for their own eyes, and that is to show that the power of the individual is more powerful than the collective mob if the individual simply does not care what the mob thinks, feels, or considers. Walker like Kasich was hired to do a job through an election and if people didn’t like the results of that job, they can vote him out in the next election. Kasich had his efforts cut out from under him as a result of the union referendum. Many voters simply did not vote in favor of keeping Issue 2 because they lacked the courage to show up at the polls, which yielded Ohio to the power of collective force represented by the unions. The unions attempted to remove Walker from office because they wanted to stop the reforms he initiated, and did not allow him to run his full term because they knew that Walker’s reforms would solve many budget problems. They knew if people saw this secret for themselves, they would no longer support public labor unions. So the unions attempted to do what they know best and that’s force a man from office because he went against their wishes.

Scott Walker showed as Hank Rearden did in the book Atlas Shrugged, that the coercion of the labor unions, like the coercion of the law, did not have any real power that they did not steal from someone else. The unions do not have better ideas, they are not the best employees, they are not the most efficient–they fail in every conceivable way. They only succeed when they can force others to act against themselves by coercion. Scott Walker did not yield, and because of it, the unions have been exposed for not having any legitimate power or claim to greater portions of the public treasury. All the unions have is the threat of force, of being a potential menace to those who are in love with peace. This has been a profitable formula against conservatives who would rather make money than fight, and would rather appease than argue. In the mind of the conservative, they can always make more money, so they give away their treasures hoping the looting mobs of the public unions will leave them alone, but it only made the situation worse. Each time the mob came, they asked for more and more money until the public had simply had enough.

Now that it has been seen, this resistance to the mob rule of the labor unions will begin to escalate, and organized labor will continue to fail in pockets all over the country, and it should. Taken as individuals, the union members are just the same as the rest of society. They are not evil incarnate. But in the collective body of a public sector union, the mob becomes the most evil entity on the face of the earth. They exist only to rob, and pillage anyone they can so they can secure wonderful communist lifestyles for themselves exhibited so well by Wayne Allyn Root in the broadcast above. The life of the union member requires the looting of others to survive, which is why they are one of the most corrosive forces in politics today. Finally, people are starting to stand up to them, and have realized that the greatest power there is in the entire world that is more powerful than any gun, any protest, any public display against the mob is to simply learn to say “NO.” Saying “no” takes away the power of the union and everything they represent. It stops the ability of the collectivist parasites from further extracting from the taxpayers any more money without revealing that they are actually functioning as a gang of thugs with one purpose, to loot and destroy everything until there is nothing left—and thus fulfill the life of a treacherous parasite.

Yes, it has been a good week, Scott Walker will remain governor of Wisconsin, and Diana Fray will go to jail for several years to live with the other criminals of existence, which is where she and every union member deserves to go who attempts to live off the work of others without a care to the lives they destroy in the process. The only sadness I have is that Ohio had a chance to be the first, but in the final hour, they blinked and the unions prolonged the inevitable for just a few more months until Walker finally beat them. Most of the time the only difference between victory and loss is in the courage of other individuals to rally to the cause of courage. In Wisconsin, there was courage—but in Ohio, there was not—and because of that, many people will lose their jobs in the long run and the misery will be extended because people did not have the guts to make the right call at the right time and instead played politics at the expense of honor.

Lakota Mismanages Taxpayer Money: The reason behind pay-for-play sports

Listen to this teacher from Wisconsin in the clip below right before the recall election of Governor Scott Walker. It is these kinds of public employees that have driven up the cost of education at every school in the United States and is what they more often than not seek to teach our youth.

It is those kinds of employees who have created a situation in my home school district of Lakota that are devastating for the parents sending their children to the school. At Lakota over $160 million dollars of tax payer money is already allocated toward educating the students of the community, however, according to the teachers union, that’s not enough. The average wage per employee at Lakota is $63K per year and makes up approximately 80% of the total budget. Yet the Lakota School Board along with superintendent Mantia has said that they don’t have enough money, so they seek to twist the arm of the tax payers in a hope to pass a school levy. They do so at Lakota by cutting busing for students, and have been charging to participate in sports programs. This has enraged many in the community who expect participation in sports to be part of the public education experience. The fees at Lakota during the school year of 2012 will be the highest in the State of Ohio at $550 per student per sport with no cap for families. You can read in more detail the article from the Cincinnati Enquirer about this issue in case you missed it.

http://westchesterbuzz.com/2012/06/01/the-price-of-pay-to-play-lakota-to-have-highest-fees-in-region-next-school-year/

I have spoke with many parents in Lakota, many of them upset that the cost of passing a school levy for them individually is far less than paying $550 per sport for their child. If the parents have 2 children in school and each of them play two sports, that particular family is out over $2000 a year, so they have said to me that they will vote in favor of a school levy so they can save money, even though they don’t agree with the politics.

I have told these parents that the system is rigged this way by the OSBA to push school boards like the one at Lakota to place the financial pain back on the parents so that union contracts can be satisfied without interruption. I told them that if they allow themselves to vote yes for a school levy because they want to save the $2000 in fees, then they are simply tools of organized labor.

The cause of the school fees is not lack of money; it is mismanagement of the money given to the districts by the tax payers. Cutting sports is proportional to the cuts of busing in that sports costs are somewhere between 1% and 2% of the total budget. When a school board cuts their support of funding sports, they do so in order to cover the expense of heavily padded labor contracts, and they hope the imposition on parents will force tax increases on the community to cover the labor demands.

In Southwest Ohio 82 percent of the 49 school districts are charging pay-to-play fees for high school sports yet just across the river in Kentucky such fees are rare. The strategy is designed by the Ohio School Board Association to extort money through financial hardship to force tax increases. In Kentucky union membership is not required, but in Ohio it is. Public schools in Ohio are a closed shop, and this forces labor costs up through collective bargaining who seeks to gobble up all the tax dollars for their union interests. This leaves no money left for sports, leaving children struggling to pay for their fees. It’s a dirty trick organized by teacher unions to manipulate taxpayers, and it’s rather disgusting.

The public sector unions at their heart are socialist organizations intent on open communism. That is why so many of the radical teachers who advocate leftist policies are drawn to big labor public sector jobs, because it keeps them out of competitive work environments which is the only place that communism works– in theory—in the minds of the extreme liberal, in their utmost fantasies. Communism in real life does not work, and it never works—and that is what the cause of the sports fees are. Parents are forced to accept small bits of communism from radical teachers because they don’t want to pay the extraordinary fees to play sports. The extortion tactic forces upon the family trying to give their children the best of everything, higher taxes that go on forever, so to avoid the school fees they must accept the taxes. It’s a dishonest practice that should be viewed with the same anger that the theft by a common criminal is viewed, because the intentions are the same—theft, extortion, and coercion through financial torture. What else is it?

Personally, I do not want to pay for teachers who think the way that educators shown in the video above think. I would seek to terminate their employment from my district because they are just creating trouble for our nation to solve later with incorrectly educated students. Many political looters speak of the need for education, but they always leave out the most important part of education, and that is getting a “quality” education. A district that does not manage the extraordinary taxes that the Lakota district already pays is yielding to the radicals of the unions at the expense of parents and children. School boards are not in pursuit of quality, but simply a lottery ticket of hope that if the district pays for a teacher that they are going to get the desired results. Most often, they do not. All too often the money buys a left-winged radical intent on bringing communism to the minds of our children and teaching them failed economic policies, and that is not acceptable.

The proper reaction to the extortion measure of school fees is to force the district to pay the money where the district desires it. If the voters wish for their money to be spent on busing, then the school board should do that. If the desire of voters is to have their money spent on sports, then the school board has an obligation to do so. But what has happened at Lakota, and 82% of all schools in Southern Ohio is they take direction from the OSBA to protect the labor contracts of teachers with gold plated benefits that the tax payers do not enjoy themselves, and that is why the children and their families are made to suffer. There is no other reason, and the public reaction to these extortion methods are the task of our day to define for generations to come. Appeasement today only leads to tyranny tomorrow, and for the parents who would rather pay the tax than the fee, that is exactly what they are choosing, which their children are watching—and learning.

The solution is not to yield and allow the mismanagement to occur, because it does not solve the problem. Letting it go, only delays the problem for some future time for a future family, which is how we arrived at this situation in the first place.

Karl Marx: The evil advocate of individual destruction

I do not believe that Karl Marx intended to deliver the most evil political philosophy known to the human mind on purpose. It would appear that Marx, being the helpless, poverty-stricken despot that he was, wished to become powerful as he looked about Europe and saw the classes of those above him. He knew he would never reach any lofty social heights in his lifetime without stealing some of that influence from the bourgeoisie class. Marx did not have the benefit of living in America where the closest form of a socially classless society existed. If he did live in America, he might not have died with only 11 mourners at his funeral leaving behind a wife, and life of extreme poverty. Yet Marx and his writing were discovered by the intellectual elite, and even newspaper editors in America were giving voice to Marx and his writing partner on The Communist Manifesto Friedrich Engels because they sensed correctly that the plight of the poor and down trodden was the path to power. The intellectual elite knew they were too weak for actual battle and sought to utilize a mob of peasants to capture political control from the kings, queens, and the nobility of Europe. Intellectuals for centuries had been looking for a philosophy to bring about the utopian vision of a society created by Sir Thomas More in his book Utopia published in 1516. Marx, with all the foolish innocence of a beggar placed ideas to paper and the intellectual classes used him to gain power over Europe in the middle 1850’s. What followed was a century of death, destruction, and the near eradication of human innovation globally. Marx brought to the world decay in the form of his political philosophy called Marxism, which morphed into socialism maturing into communism, and all the gains made in America advancing the spirit of the human species had found its destroyer.

Today Presidents like Obama do not call themselves Marxists, socialists, or communists—they term it progressives. School teachers, politicians of both parties, many media personalities, actors, actresses, producers, music industry tycoons, and even Wall Street Bankers consider themselves “progressive” yet have their roots directly tied to the work of Karl Marx. To see the evidence, all one has to do is look in their neighborhoods and the evidence of “collectivism” will be seen in great abundance. Collectivism is an evil of thoughtless enterprise. No one brain controls this evil, its methods of destruction are generated from a collective belief that all participants are moved by a “will” that transcends thought, so mob will rules through democratic participation. Marx sought the complete eradication of private property so that every member of society could work according to their capacities and consume according to their needs. To his way of thinking, this was the only way to prevent the rich from living at the expense of the poor. Since he was so terribly poor, he was concerned about “leveling” the playing field so people like him could have a say in his fate. After all, he could not afford property of his own, and he obviously lacked the will to obtain it himself. So he built a philosophy that allowed for the legal theft of other people’s property so that at least they would not have more than he did. Communism became the philosophy of the lazy; those who would rather take from others so that they could not have more than the communists did as if such a thing could justify the communist’s lack of ambition.

I saw communism in full bloom just the other day as I was on my way to the Kings Island Amusement Park in Mason, Ohio. A large complex of apartments had sprung up out of the only ground left in Mason from which to build called The Palmera. These are high-end, luxury apartments which would be expected in Mason, perfectly located to take advantage of the excellent Mason Schools, local shopping, and highway access. At first glance it would seem nice to offer renters a chance to move into the community of Mason at a fraction of the cost property would garner of the same quality, but that is until one thinks about election time. Apartment dwellers are notoriously vociferous to pass school levies when a public school asks for higher taxes, because the apartment dweller does not directly pay the taxes, the apartment owner does, yet the apartment dweller does get to send their child to school for free. So they almost always vote in favor of school levies, because they don’t have to pay the tax increase directly—someone else does. This is the Marx idea of forcing on society “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” Since the apartment owner is rich enough to build an apartment complex, they are rich enough to pay the taxes required by the “needs” of the community.

Nobody involved in this scam would call themselves a communist, and most of them probably never read Karl Marx. But over time, the education elite who did read Marx gradually encouraged all involved to just accept these communist ideas as a reality. The school is doing its part in destroying private property by gradually increasing taxes to the point of discouraging ownership. Administers of the community through regulation control the owners of the apartment dwelling allowing them to participate in the upper class of district management so long as they generate taxes without question, and the tax payers have learned not to question anything for fear that the IRS might audit them, so they keep a low profile and allow communism to spread gradually replacing capitalism as the economic engine of The United States.

Marx’s basic premise is that socio-economic statuses for different groups, the proletariat and the bourgeois ruling classes are defined by their relationship to private property and the means of production. Marx believed as many long-haired, dirty, grimy, tree hugging hippies believe to this very day that by eradicating this relationship of property that peace on earth will finally be realized. It’s an excessively naive view of the world, and has failed time and time again due to the fact that such a society always requires administrators, and those administrators always attempt to rule through dictatorship. In the case of the Palmera Apartments in Mason, the apartment dweller, (the non-owners) gain enormous voting power because of their sheer numbers. The bureaucrats of Mason City government get to impose fees on the developer of the apartment and keep a leash on their control of their own property so to best serve the apartment dwellers. These fees pay their administrative costs, but also keep the developer from gaining too much personal power.

Governments in general all have a tendency toward socialism, because they function as a collective, not as individuals responsible for their own thoughts and action. The blob mentality of no property ownership, no ownership of ideas, or even of personal relationships are destroying the human race, and it can all be hung presently on the gutter bum, Karl Marx and his legions of leeching intellectuals. In The United States the government sued Microsoft for having a monopoly, to gain control of a company becoming too big and powerful. Today, that company is only a fraction of what it once was. And now Facebook has been artificially propped up by government so that it can tear it down again and take away from people the freedom enjoyed there. Facebook as I’m writing this is being attacked by government to level the playing field for others, and to gain control of the business. The behavior is more reminiscent of communism than capitalism, because the administrators of our economy are tampering with the ownership of assets in order to facilitate who does what according to their abilities, and who needs what according to their needs. Those determinations are made by the “collective,” by the mobs of the masses and it is sheer evil. Evil because the mob can determine what someone else does with their property. In the case of the Palmera Apartments the building code administrators and local school will decide the costs of the project. Up front the code people do. But after the apartments are built, the schools can increase their cost by raising taxes at the will of the mob. The owner will then have to decide to absorb the cost increase of the taxes, or raise their rental rates, which might push out the apartment dwellers because the apartments will then become too expensive. The intent of the mob is that by using communism, the apartment owner is forced to surrender their profits, their means of production, to the “collective.”

Marx wrote “In place of religious and political illusions, the bourgeoisie had substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation. Charter that had once protected people’s freedom had been cast aside for one unconscionable freedom—free trade.” Those are the words of a man with no products in his mind to sell, and possessing the lack of will to work in order to do so. Those are the words of a beggar on the side of a street with his hat out in hopes of a hand out. You can hear the same types of words today as communism comes from the mouth of President Obama. One of his biggest knocks on Mitt Romney is that Romney made money at Bain Capital and is a “rich guy.” This comment only has merit in the context of thousands of voters who have been trained to be communists in their public educations by teachers who embraced Karl Marx with passion—because as we know—those who can’t do in real life teach. So they seek communism to disguise their lack of talent and personal ambition. This was the path of Obama, a dope smoking, fatherless youth looking for answers in an unfair world. As a college kid he hung out with Marxist lovers and ministers who looked with envious eyes at those who they considered their betters. These parasites schemed ways of using the collective to bring down those who towered above them by using the communism of Karl Marx. Obama who has no experience in making money of any kind, and has become wealthy by looting as a public official can only give jobs away that the American taxpayer creates. Romney actually created jobs in the private sector, but to the communist that is a sin, because the private sector means, “ownership,” which to them is the ultimate evil. They think in this fashion because they have been seduced by communism.

Another one of Karl Marx’s famous quotes is that “the abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for real happiness.” Communists in our own country working at first through the ACLU and labor unions sought to remove any content of religion from our schools and courtrooms, out of dedication to that Marx quote. Even though many of them would not consider themselves communists, their behavior as a collective dictates the will by the mob, which is the foundation of communism. Just by functioning as a collective, they function as a communist.

Karl Marx is far more prevalent in the life of the average American than they’d like to believe. Communism has many spokesman, many more than capitalism, because in capitalism it is the will of the individual that it serves, and thus all individuals prosper. But in communism, it is the collective will of the mob that rules and the individuals are consumed within its destructive fires to become advocates of doom believing they are freedom fighters. But the only freedom they are fighting is the freedom to think, do, and own property as one may wish. The collectivists of communism are seeking to eradicate freedom all together in a utopian pursuit of peace on earth, even if it means killing the people who stand in their way of peace.

Every time I hear a person of supposedly high intellect profess that they believe that Karl Marx was a genius, I instantly see before me a lazy slob who is afraid of their own shadow, a social parasite of the highest order. I see a destroyer of mankind. I see a would be slave master as they would just as soon put on the shackles of serfdom in order to save the lives of the masses with a complacent slow death putting out the fires of personal liberty in exchange for mass sacrifice to mother earth. The attempt to slowly warm Americans up to communism is in 2012 an unbridled sickness.

Cincinnati’s mayor Mark Malory has been heavily involved with communist Chinese governments and even my district school of Lakota has been working with Chinese schools to bridge the gaps in understanding between the two countries. China has no intention on bending its communist philosophies more than they have with the 1997 inclusion of Hong Kong back to the motherland—a capitalist city being reintroduced to the communist mainland. The attempts by modern China to work with American political leaders and public schools are to assist in the global process of bringing America into the fold of red communism and away from capitalism entirely. The goal of communist China and communist Russia, and socialist Greece, France, and Spain as well as communist Vietnam, communist North Korea etc., is to bring down the bourgeoisie nation of America as a whole, to level the world’s playing field by mowing down The United States and its powerful economy.

The communist infestation in America has been going on for many years, and many who are reading this right now will want to call me a conspiracy theorists and a right-winged radical. But those names come from the communist in you, which has been bred through your school, your job, your family, your politics, and your fractured economy. It has been bred into you by the enemies of America long ago, before your birth, and they have guided your mind to the work of a bearded, broke fool living in London, England as he wrote his masterwork of communism, Das Kapital influencing the catastrophic economist John Meynard Keynes. It would be Keynesian economics that would put The United States into a spiral of debt and create irrational economic models that would destroy capitalism, create large central planning bureaucracies intent on the spread of Europe’s beloved communism.

Like all parasites communism lays dormant within the culture of it’s pray until the time is right to leap forth and destroy the entity of its feeding. In America, we have for too long fed without knowledge this phantom menace, this prophet of doom known as Karl Marx who planted the seeds of our destruction within our intellectual class, the teacher, the professor, and the media tycoons who grew up listening to the rants of Jane Fonda and her naked body crawling all over our imaginations preaching the seduction of communism. It’s here before us, it’s feeding off of us, and if we don’t put a stop to it, it will destroy us completely with no care for the lives that made up our individual endeavors. We will be sacrificed by communism to the gods of collectivism to serve the blood thirsty desires of a mob intent on its own destruction, thoughtless, blind, and manipulated by lack of personal responsibility toward a great swarm of parasites striving to live for one more moment before their ceaseless hunger consumes itself.

That’s how communists sold socialism to America.

The “War on Women”: A complete fiction designed to keep progressives in power

I just received an email from The White House that is rather disgusting and is even further proof that the so-called “war on women” is a simply a collectivists push to unite all women into a voting group dedicated to progressive politics. The strategy being used currently against Tea Party Republicans and other conservatives regarding the upcoming election is the same used against me over the Lakota Levy fight where I called my political enemies Latté sipping prostitutes because they so easily sold themselves to their public school for such a cheap price. The levy supporting women in my community were so enraged that they tried to paint me as though I meant all women with my comments. They did what Obama and his White House are doing now, attempting to pull all women into a thoughtless voting bloc of collectivists who can’t think for themselves. Read the email below as I received it from that same White House.

Do you support equal pay for women?

It’s been nearly 50 years since Congress passed the Equal Pay Act, but today a woman who works full-time still earns just 77 cents for every dollar earned by a man.

That’s not just unfair. When women, who make up nearly half the workforce, bring home less money each day, it means they have less for the everyday needs of their families. That’s bad for kids, it’s bad for communities, and it’s bad for the entire country.

So President Obama is supporting the Paycheck Fairness Act, which is designed to update the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and help close the pay gap. Congress is scheduled to vote on the legislation this week.


To help raise awareness of pay discrimination and make it clear that it is a problem with serious consequences, we’ve put together a series of e-cards to highlight the issue.

Pick your favorite, then email it to your friends or share it online:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/equal-pay

 

I could argue those facts in great detail. There are a lot of factors that go into any discrepancies in pay seen. I would say from experience that in today’s world, if a man and a woman are going after the same job and both are equally qualified; the woman will get the job. The world that the White House is talking about where there is a war against women simply does not exist in reality. Only in the minds of old hippies and progressive advocates is there a “war on women.”

The “war on women” is a complete fabrication with no merit. It’s made up to advance socialist political philosophies. It’s that simple. It’s a social desire that belongs on the muddy grass at Woodstock in the 60’s with all the left over drug paraphernalia.

Matt Clark at WAAM covered this “war on women” recently on his radio broadcast in Ann Arbor, Michigan. His broadcast digs deeper into this rather sad political stunt that is simply a distraction designed to stuff ballots at the voting booth.

This kind of garbage will continue until women begin to be honest with themselves, and start to act as individuals instead of a voting bloc. The “war on women” is a complete fiction and is in the same category as the “global warming” movement. Both are progressive platforms designed to distract voters into emotional decisions, and are predatory upon the sanctity of women everywhere. To cast all women into a collective pool is an insult they should be angry with, and to allow The White House to use them for yet another power grab is disgusting. Yet it continues, and will until voters stop it at the ballot box. Because until then, predatory politicians like Barack Obama and his minions of evil will continue to use emotional ploys and reactionary rhetoric to steer a voting bloc they have little respect for, but for a mark in their corner during elections.

The Twentieth Century Intellectual: Banning Bake Sales for Children

How do we know that public education and our colleges have been complete and utmost failures and do not deserve one more dime of tuition hikes or tax increases? How do we know our federal government staffed with generations of employees “taught” in these education institutions are abysmal in their ability to perform even basic tasks needed in a business/political economy and are treacherously deficient in their abilities? It’s easy just look at the results produced. Our society has arrived at a level of utmost chaos that defies common sense, and we have the educrats and government bureaucrats of our socialist leaning society to thank for it.

Glenn Beck in the video clip below from his Oval Office series discusses in great detail how the government has stepped in to ban “bake sales,” for the good of the nation. And it’s not adults, or even teenagers that are attracting attention from the long arm of government these days. No, the biggest threat of tax avoidance and those pesky permit fee evasion violators that pay the salaries of thousands of middle level bureaucrats are 9 to 10 year old children. That’s what the government is cracking down on now. Look for yourself!

Common sense isn’t even on the radar these days, and after watching that video, big changes are needed in our society immediately. A society has failed when it seeks out 9 year old children to loot off of, because the adults are picked dry and cannot alone carry the burden the government employee mandates on society to sustain their socialist, European lifestyle. A society has failed utterly when it is children who are made to suffer at the hands of a poorly conceived philosophy advocated by the twentieth century intellectual. When you see one, give them your thanks.

Communist China Honors Lakota: Dean Hume and baseball for the “Spark Magazine”

The reason I have very little respect for the modern educator, and specifically, the public education employee is because they have a tendency to support open communism even if they aren’t aware that they are.  Communism in America has gained a foothold through intellectual educator types, which Barack Obama, Lyndon Johnston, and Woodrow Wilson all advocated.  They called it progressivism so to make it appear that The United States was not following the path of their rival the Soviet Union, who was still considered an alley until the 1950’s.  During that entire time, communism seeped under the doors of our borders through our intellectuals’ infatuation with Europe and the concepts of socialism spreading there under the work of Karl Marx. 

I was reading through the West Chester Buzz the other day and I noticed a picture of the outgoing principal of Lakota East Keith Kline sitting at his desk with a flag display of the American flag with the Red Chinese flag and I had to check my eyes.  Then I read the article, which you can see for yourself here. 

http://westchesterbuzz.com/2012/05/22/chinese-students-to-learn-english-from-spark/

The article was about how Lakota participated in a principal exchange program in April where Kline went to China’s Jingman NO. 1 High School in the Hubei Provinceas the Chinese principal Yuan Ye came to Lakota East.  Yuan Ye was amazed at the creativity of the Lakota students and decided he wanted to take 100 copies of the Lakota East’s Spark Magazine back to China for students there to analyze and figure out how to emulate.  This had Dean Hume, Lakota East journalism teacher and Spark advisor elated saying, “I think it is a grand slam in the 9th inning with two outs for the English department.”  Apparently for Dean, it’s very important that a school in China wants 100 copies of the Spark Magazine.  You can see that magazine for yourself here:

http://www.lakotaeastspark.com/

I personally like some of the kids who work on that magazine quite a bit, both present and former.  They are intelligent kids full of ideas, and I thought about them as I let my feelings about what Dean Hume and Keith Kline said wash over me.  Last September I gave a 3 hour interview with one of the Spark reporters just prior to the election, and the story was pulled—it appears by Hume so not to give the side of the story of the No Lakota Levy, which sounded like censorship to me.  It made me very angry because I had granted a very detailed interview that was very personal, and the story was shelved because the school wanted to pass the levy.  Several students reported to me that Hume would spend entire classes talking about me to his students and what a right-winged nut job I am, so to discredit me.  One student was so upset that they went to see Keith Kline about the smear campaign.  When I became enraged about it, some of these Spark students wrote to me and told me I had it all wrong, that Hume was a very fair and balanced teacher and that he treated me fairly in his classes.  I felt that they were just covering for their very radical leftist journalism teacher, but I listened to their comments out of respect for them. 

Knowing now a bit more about what Hume, and Kline thinks is a successful endeavor their behavior during the last election makes a lot more sense. China, being a communist country participates in excessive amounts of censorship, and has built their entire society around the concept of collectivism.  The individual does not matter in China.  This is why students are required to begin at 6 a.m. and stay in school until 10 p.m. with only a 3 hour break at 11:30. China does not care about the well-being of their students, only that they serve Red China as cells in a great collective body.  This is precisely why principal Yuan Ye was so shocked that the American students exhibited so much creativity, because in America individuality is still valued, and creativity comes from the individual thoughts of a sovereign soul.  Yet Hume thinks it’s wonderful that communist China wants 100 copies of his magazine so they can study it in a vain attempt to mimic the creativity of the American students, which of course they will fail miserably. 

Kline stated in the West Chester Buzz article “If I could marry their work ethic with our instruction there would be no stopping us.”  That statement alone indicates what educators all across the country have thought for over 100 years looking toward communism as the solution to the worlds problems.  In education circles China is the shining example in the world as to how society should be governed because they are a communist society, and education officials are in love with communism termed in their language as progressivism.  In communist societies, the collective serves the institution, property is “shared,” and censorship is enforced to keep outside ideas from corrupting the communist culture with crazy thoughts of independence and individual sovereignty.

The reporter who interviewed me on that hot September day before the election of 2011 acted as an individual and as they walked me through the halls of Lakota East many teachers and administrators peered at me with anger, since I represented the realization of another failed tax levy and future pay increases for their greedy labor requirements.  Yet the reporter handled the situation with a lot of class, and even as I gave the interview, I suspected it would never see the light of day, because the institution itself at Lakota East is attempting to become more like Communist China in it’s methods.  Kline himself stated, “The Chinese are trying to focus more on critical thinking skills, creativity, and teamwork, and want to get away from their test-driven structure, which is huge for them.  It is interesting because our country seems to be going in the opposite direction.”  He’s right about that.  American educators have been chasing China as the shining example of how to conduct society, and they have been doing it for so long, they don’t even see that it is communism that they are teaching students, not capitalism—the life blood of the American economy. 

There is a reason that China does not produce great films that the world craves to see, or produces music that is on our top 40 music charts—it’s because they lack creativity because they are a communist society serving the needs of the collective.  That is why they will always fail when it comes to creativity.  Their work ethic is fantastic because they have no sense of self—as a culture.  They do not value individualism, and it shows. 

This is the path of even great schools like Lakota East, as the Chinese flag flies proudly on the desk of an American high school principal.  Educators and politicians want communism in America and they are teaching it to our youth.  The evidence is everywhere particularly among the attitudes that the educators exhibit.  For Dean, I’d be more proud if a school in Georgia wanted copies of the Spark to show their students in a world of competitive ideas, not a communist country where even a color photograph would impress them.  That’s the difference.  For an educator to be recognized by their idols in the education system of Communist China is a high honor indeed, and the focus of what they plan to spend our hard-earned tax money on—a path toward Communist America lead by the education elite and their censorship of those who oppose them.

It must be terrible to be so easily impressed.  For more info on China and how it got to where it is, CLICK HERE.  You will see our own future as it’s happening right now because of employees of public education.

Real Estate at Lakota: The Beauty of Captialism shown at Costco

I truly do feel sorry for the real estate agents who used to look at the school districts of Lakota, Mason and Fairfield, Ohio to help sell their homes. Because the housing bubble collapsed, and values have plummeted back to reality, it has forced many to look at other aspects of their communities for value beyond the schools, because communities are not just for young families just beginning their lives, but are for the adults who still remain long after the children have grown. And that reality has been difficult for many to grapple with as the changing economic situation has forced a re-evaluation of many values.

To the neurotic parent who believes that their child is somehow the responsibility of the community to raise and care for, or the real estate agent who wishes an easy home sale off such neurotic parents, your luck has run out, and you are learning that the world in fact did not revolve around you like many thought the sun once did around the earth, but that it is you who serve the community. You are not unwelcome. We do want you to sell homes, and we do want you to buy them. We also want you to enjoy the shopping, the restaurants, and the businesses that make up our community, but you must understand that it is the earth that revolves around the sun—and this is a devastating realization for the selfish school levy supporter.

I have never said once that Lakota could fail as a school during my fights against higher taxes. I have always expected Lakota to be among the best in the state even if at its very best it will fall well short of my personal standards since it thrives as an institution of collectivism, as all public schools do. But I have said that the cost of public education should be cheaper while the quality remains high. An example of what I expect from Lakota and Mason is for them to learn from the Costco business model where that wholesaler is able to offer all its products to customers at a 15% reduction on average, which is the job of its purchasing agents. Costco still offers excellent quality products, but at a much lower price than most anywhere else, and in public education this should be the goal.

I was thinking of Lakota while I was at Costco with my wife the other day, and I realized that if Lakota were to remain a great school in these changing economic times, it would have to find a way to lower its costs while still providing a superior product. That is the name of the game, and the success of how that game is played will dictate the future real estate value of our communities. High taxes just aren’t attractive to new buyers who may not see the kinds of value increases that took place in the Southern Ohio since the 1980’s.

I often wondered how long people thought real estate values would escalate as they have over the last 20 years. When I was in high school gas was under $1 per gallon and a $100,000 home was a mansion. These days $100K doesn’t buy you much of a home and gas is close to $4 dollars per gallon, all in just a very short time, which points to the mismanagement of the economy by the government in general. The home expectation in the Lakota School District is that the costs should be at least $250K to $500K and that simply isn’t sustainable. Home buyers are realizing that there just aren’t enough buyers to drive up the cost of their homes making the property ownership a good investment that outpaces the taxes with levy approvals. This means that once a buyer buys a home, they may not be able to sell it for more than their purchase price even if the school is excellent. So other aspects of the community must be made more appealing, such as lower tax costs, and a more business friendly community with less red tape from meddling trustees and zoning boards.

It’s not because I’m old that prices are so much different today. It’s all about inflation, not just at the Federal Reserve, but of the perception of what we get out of the investments. Many baby boomers have thrived with the low-interest rates and plentiful jobs America had through the 90’s when Bill Clinton and all his scandalous ways operated with a Republican house and senate to balance the budget and maintain that the era of big government was over. This was Clinton riding on the coat tails of Ronald Reagan’s economic policies of the 80’s and Alan Greenspan’s handling of the Federal Reserve.

During this time, there was a lot of money to be made, and baby boomers made it by selling properties and buying new properties with the equity of their investments building fortunes with foundations as stable as a house of cards. Greenspan was a very devote fan of Ayn Rand and was part of the Objectivism circle she had in New York, and even with the influences of a mixed economy, and a gradual push for more and more socialism in America, Greenspan held the economy pretty well together until his departure in 2006. That is when Ben Bernanke took over and by 2008, America slipped into a recession as a number of economic bubbles simply collapsed from years of pressure.

The criticism of Greenspan was that he was naive as to the sheer greed of individual investors and corporations who were prone to take the money and run instead of behaving like Reardon from the classic book Atlas Shrugged, or the principles of Howard Roark in The Fountainhead, both novels that Greenspan loved dearly. But such greed is due to other social factors and not the merits of capitalism, which are directly derived from weaknesses in a mixed economy, with a bit of capitalism sprinkled here and there for show and tell, with socialism making up the structure. As Greespan pushed for privatization of Social Security and other government programs, Democrats pushing socialism prevented those discussions, and the spending spree of the Bush Administration caused Greenspan to use every economic trick available to hold off the inevitable bubble from collapsing. But without Greenspan, Bernanke was no match, and the real estate bubble burst and the nation has plummeted into a depression.

The greed of the self-interested wither it be the Bilderberg group of world financial powerhouses using Bernanke to their ill intentions, or the desire of socialists like President Obama to collapse America under a George Soros plan to destroy America and give rise to a one world government headed by The United Nations where scoundrels and cut throat politicians like Bill Clinton is positioning himself for a key position within that new government, the rules have changed. It can no longer be taken for granted that just a few economic tweaks will solve all our problems, or a company can simply hire a lobbyist in Washington to fend off the political looters from stealing all their corporate profits.

Real solutions are needed in this modern age beyond just shuffling money from one place to another.  During the time of Greenspan residential real estate was sold almost exclusively on the school system it resided in, and now that has changed. Teachers unions not recognizing the changing economic factors continued to strike and make labor threats to drive up their wages, because they saw an opportunity to capitalize on the real estate trends. At Lakota the average teacher wage in 2001 was around $45K per year. Now just a decade later the wages are $63K per year yet nothing changed other than a strike attempt by the teachers in 2008. The service is the same, and the expectation of the community has not altered.

But those days are over. Now a community must actually work to keep itself solvent, and homes must improve on their actual value based on the merit of their competitive market circumstances, and not just the school systems they reside in. School districts themselves must do like the district governments, and that is keep their tax signature low so not to scare away investments. Local governments should not be naive on the opposite end of the political scale as Greenspan was toward private business and not properly accounting for the greed of a collective, which with all the protests members of the political left launched at Greenspan and President Reagan, they have shown to be just as greedy as the average Wall Street looter. The teachers, the fire fighter and the police officer have been just as ravenous as the executives of Enron or the Ponzi scheme of Bernie Madoff. The greed of the mob on both political sides has burst the bubble of the American economy, and now we must all survive.

Lucky for the districts of Lakota, Mason, and Fairfield, there is time to make adjustments before they end up like the have-beens of Sharonville, Princeton, and Reading. The schools could be removed from the economic equation and these areas would still be wonderful places to live because of their location and quality of living. The thing that would kill these areas in the future is in allowing themselves to be crushed by high taxes, which would then push those economies into Monroe, Trenton, and back to Middletown, which was devastated once before by the labor problems at A.K. Steel and the diminishing industry there. The solution for all these communities, particularly Monroe Schools, who is currently on an academic emergency is to take a page from the Costco playbook and find a way to offer the same product with the same quality or better, but with a 15% reduction in cost. If schools embraced that concept suddenly many economic factors would fix themselves with a fury. The only reason it hasn’t happened yet is a stubborn refusal to see the obvious—because greed stands in the way of reality in the minds of the public educrat.

Arne Duncan Promises Money in Cincinnati: Another scandal at Lakota pushed under the rug

As Lakota Local Schools attempted to put out the fire of more inappropriate contact between a substitute teacher at Lakota West and a female student, “educrats” from all over The United States gathered in downtown Cincinnati to discuss how to improve education. In Southwestern Ohio a quiet battle has been raging that many didn’t even know had started. Those on the battlefield knew very well what was at stake. Public schools have been underperforming for years leaving children empty shells of propaganda going into their adulthoods and the teachers led by their labor unions have charged too much to do it. Tax payers have began to say no to tax increases on their properties that are losing value faster than nighttime temperatures in Antarctica. Suddenly the entire public education system is being exposed as an industry of looters, a simple service oriented government bureaucracy as useless as an attendant at the license bureau.

Over the last two years there have been many groups that have pushed back against the high cost of these service jobs in education, and have properly pointed out the broken nature of the funding structure which acts like a parasite on property owners. It is disgraceful for tax payers to learn that the teachers and administrators they are employing in their districts are making on average over $60K a year, and getting terrible results among the student population. Then it has been learned that the teachers are having sex with the students in great abundance, the service of the public employees to the public has not been good—it certainly hasn’t been worth $60K per year. In the Cincinnati region the news has been national with the largest and wealthiest districts like Lakota having serious troubles with scandals that have very much damaged the credibility of public education as an institution.

So it came as no surprise that the 2012 Labor Management Conference in downtown Cincinnati focused on transforming the teacher profession with over 600 people from 40 states attending consisting of school superintendents, board presidents, and union representatives to “collectively” unite the teaching profession. Even Arne Duncan the U.S. Education Secretary under Emperor Obama came, and among all those people not a single one was a productive citizen. Every single one of them are parasites to the economy, meaning they live off tax money without directly contributing to the nations GDP. So the essence of the gathering in Cincinnati was to put out the fires that have been raging against public education and to get control of the situation before that fire spreads to the rest of the country.

Of course at this conference all these “professionals” were told that they were critical to the futures of American children by the union leaders–so the educrats were all drinking the Kool-Aid. I know this because I saw the types of key words people use to find my articles and suddenly on Wednesday and Thursday this past week the popular search word, “Rich Hoffman No Lakota” came up over 150 times, and that hasn’t happened since March when the Enquirer story came out blowing open my scandalous comments calling levy supporters “latté sipping prostitutes.” So the buzz was on to deal with the “educator haters” of Southern Ohio, which to the labor representatives present I’m at the top of their list. But that is the “unofficial news” not intended for the papers.

The news that did make the papers in the propaganda arm of the Educrats public relations was that $700 million dollars in federal education grants are coming to the area, which is designed to alleviate the short-falls happening by local funding refusals of property tax increases and cuts of state contributions to districts. This is supposed to be a good announcement, as though the federal government was going to swing in and save public education from itself, and their high employee costs. All the participants of this conference are social parasites of tax money and they forget that the money coming from the federal government is tax money too, still provided by the people of the states. It’s simply a shuffling around of money to make the labor leaders happy and willing to work with the school superintendents for a couple of years while the anger toward public schools calms down.

To help promote districts of the area that are struggling, like Cincinnati Public Schools, which is suffering from declining enrollment, yet there are plans to go for another tax increase in November of 2012, public recognition was given. CPS was lauded for its ability to “collaborate” with union leadership and school administration. Arne Duncan stated, “unions and school leaders are getting along better these days, in part because they realize that American schools need to ramp up education or risk losing economic and political standing in the world.” The trouble with Arne’s statement is that his concern is in fulfilling the requirements of his boss Emperor Obama and the commitment to Agenda 21 for the United Nations, so global standards are the context of the statement. But for the people of Cincinnati, the parents of the 33,000 students at CPS just want their children to have a job—a real job. Not a government created job like the 600 people at the Labor Management Conference. Those aren’t real jobs; they are service jobs like a waiter at a restaurant, or a bagger at the grocery store. Real jobs make the food that is served or placed in the bags. The service job simply mediates between the product and the consumer. The focus of the 600 attendees of the labor conference presided by Duncan is to create more service oriented employees as products of their schools, and figuring out a way to consume more tax money to get it.

The climax of this Conference was the announcement that 50 parents, teachers and community leaders in Cincinnati will head to Columbus on May 30th to protest Ohio’s unconstitutional school funding system. When I first heard this news, I thought addressing the unconstitutional funding structure in Ohio sounded like a good idea, until I learned who was behind the announcement. A group called Prepare the Future of Southwest Ohio is paying for the 58 seat bus transporting protestors to Columbus and a group called Strive Partnership is supplying the food. These groups are working with Progress Ohio, the progressive political organization of Ohio, and the Ohio Federation of Teachers. So the attempt is a show of force by organized labor to extort more tax money from the state because local communities are refusing to increase taxes on themselves.

The trouble with “properly” funding education positions, and the reason these public employees and their minions of parental supporters are taking these measures is because they have seen the future and if the states leave the funding to the local school districts voters are going to force down the cost of education and these progressive “educrats” know that voters will reject more and more tax increases when it comes directly out of their property value. So the parasites at the 2012 Labor Management Conference know they are doomed with school funding unless they can get the money for their extraordinary pay checks out of the state where tax payers can’t see so clearly how the money is spent. When Scott Sloan asked me on 700 WLW why I don’t join up with these types of groups to solve the school funding problem I answered that these employees aren’t interested in the same thing that I am. I want to see education become cheaper. I want to drive down the cost per pupil. These educrats simply want to maintain the wage structure they were promised when they moved into an education profession, where they could be paid on average over $60K per year, cash in their personal days, work 9 months out of the year and have all holidays off, then retire at 55 only to be rehired the day after to become a double-dipper. They wish to maintain the scam. I wish to fix it for good by driving out all the looters of education. By my definition every one of the 600 attendees of the 2012 Labor Management Conference are parasites to the rest of America, and every one of them could be removed from their jobs because they could afford to spend two days in Cincinnati talking about nothing, to achieve nothing, and intend nothing but smoke and mirrors with an attempt to reframe their social argument.

That is why I will not go to Columbus with these educrats to speak in their favor to legislators in order to obtain for them more loot allocated toward public education. The $700 million that Arne Duncan is throwing at these labor leaders and administrators is equivalent to throwing some bloody meat to a pack of wolves. It will only appease the parasites for a short time before they are hungry for more. By then, Arne and his education employees across the nation hope that society goes back to sleep and forgets about the scam they are attempting to perform in broad daylight right in front of all our faces. But it won’t work, because just like them, the opposition is recalibrating our message as well, and they won’t like the result.

So no matter how much protesting they do, or how many meetings they indulge in, people like me will continue to report every scandal, every accounting error, every fault they perform with the intention of driving out the weak leaving behind only the strong and employable. The way to end consumption by a parasite is to take away what the parasite eats, and in the big business of public education, they eat money. And according to police in West Chester, the substitute teacher’s inappropriate contact between him and the female student was not sexual or criminal, and has been turned over to the school to deal with. So we’ll see what they do about it, even though they will surely attempt to keep it under the carpet. But they won’t be able to, because the public owns the carpet, and I’ll make sure we pull it up so we can see what’s underneath. And we’ll do it while all the educrats are at meetings patting themselves on the back and planning how to save the world—using our money to do it.

Reds Pitcher Aroldis Chapman Arrested: Behold the Superman

I listened with a level of fascination to the public outcry over Aroldis Chapman’s recent arrest for excessive speeding and driving without a license after being clocked going 93 miles per hour on I-71 on his way to the airport to pick up his girlfriend. The very same people who sit in the stands and cheer the Reds relief pitcher throwing fast balls up to 105 mph and is nicknamed the “Cuban Missile” because of his national heritage, turned their backs on the supposed reckless antics of Chapman during his late night run across Ohio to meet the flight schedule at the airport.

I can speak with complete authenticity that I understand Chapman’s situation, as I have been in precisely the same circumstance many times. As I’ve discussed here many times, I love to drive fast. In fact it’s the subject of my upcoming novel Tail of the Dragon, and the theme of that novel almost mirrors exactly this situation with Chapman. So I have to comment on this issue which I feel very passionate about.

Many of the weak and timid minded—the types of people who lobby to create some of these ridiculous speed limit laws in the first place think that 90 mph is fast—and it’s not. It’s only fast compared to their slow, cumbersome minds. I drive that fast in our family mini-van, and I don’t think anything of those types of speeds, and I have not come close to crashing in over twenty years. So with a car of the quality that Chapman was driving, a Mercedes built easily for speeds of up to 150 mph, 90 mph is not a problem. While behind the wheel of a car like that, Chapman is in no danger to anybody, not even himself. I’ve driven faster than that for many of the same reasons, and I find it appalling that people are making such a big deal about Chapman’s need for speed.

This arrest of Chapman is a great example of how the laws of our society reflect the level of tyranny politicians have injected upon the human race. The speed limits are set to the soft minded of our people, of the lowest skilled, and pander to their slow reflexes and timid natures. Our laws do not encourage such types to think faster, to become better to adapt to the world around them—the laws pander to society’s weakest links in the same manner that everywhere in our modern age there are parking spaces reserved for the handicapped and physically ill. The intentions of such laws are out of compassion to the collective whole, and the average of that collective is brought down to a ridiculously low level of tolerance because the weak links of society bring down the standards for all of us and that simply isn’t fair or representative of freedom.

I have never been able to live within the speed limits of society. I find the limits the rest of civilization places upon itself to be mind-numbingly dull and ridiculously slow. The complaints I heard about Chapman were that he might have killed someone, and that he was behaving as though he were above the law—and each of those statements drove me closer to an eruption of anger that I haven’t felt for a number of years. Those who complained about Chapman’s speed and behavior are the same kind of people who have pushed for the overly regulated world that we currently live in. Government serves those docile personalities who are too lazy or apprehensive to compete in the rest of the world with those who are better than they are, who are faster, and who are stronger. It is those complainers of Aroldis Chapman who have brought socialism to the United States pushing capitalism into a dark corner of our social tapestry.

Many athletes find it very difficult to turn off their superior reflexes and talents when interacting with the rest of society in normal life. On the football fields and baseball diamonds of professional sports fans pay their tickets to see these superior human beings compete on the field of battle and they are cheered on for being who they are—for being what God created them to be to the maximum limit of their talent. That is why they are being paid such large amounts of money because the professional athletes are the first handers of society; they set the pace everyone else strives to achieve. The second handers are those who sit in the stands and watch the players play their game, they are the ones who cheer on the superior athlete to accomplish what they as second handers cannot.

In sports it is the fence that protects the second handers of society from the first handers on the field. Or on TV, it is the TV screen, or the radio that protects the masses from the superior men and women of athletics. When I heard the panic reaction from society about Aroldis Chapman’s excessive speed, I heard fear from society in wanting the assurance that they are protected from the interaction of the first handers. They want assurance that the laws created to protect the second handers will protect them from the superiority of Aroldis Chapman and the other superior minded human beings who stand above the rest in talent and intelligence.

When looked at in this way it is obvious why society has so many laws, and that is to protect the life of the second hander from competition. When I have passed by other highway drivers at double their speed I can feel the hostility from those drivers as they peer at my disappearing vehicle. They wonder why I can’t drive as slow as they do. What do I have to do that is so important that I can’t wait in line on the highway like the rest of them? Why am I so important? What makes me better than they are? For me, I drive fast to leave these types of mentalities far behind because there is nothing worse than a long trip staring at the lumbering tendencies of a second hander, a weak, “socially conscious,” broken link in the chain of society. The sight of them is not something I wish to observe for long periods of time, and I seek to move out ahead of them.

Why should Aroldis Chapman spend an extra 40 minutes on I-71 driving from Kentucky to Columbus, Ohio because the laws of the socially average wish protection from the superior driving skills of people like Chapman? It’s not Chapman’s task to restrict his God-given talents to live within the limits of the physically slow. It is the task of the physically slow to improve themselves and strive to be better. It is their task to recognize that a man of superior driving ability is coming up behind them rapidly and they should move out-of-the-way so not to cause an accident. It is the job of the inferior person to yield to the superior person. The superior person should not rub the nose of the inferior person in the muck of their own existence. But the superior person should encourage the inferior person to help them become better. The task of the superior person is not to be less than they are in society just to be “fair” to the second hander. That simply isn’t fair to people like Aroldis Chapman who is clearly one of the supermen walking on the earth presently.

This week the Ohio Highway Patrol is cracking down on seat belt violations and charging thousands of dollars in fines generated by the courts. DUI checkpoints are set up to alter the freedoms of individuals with impunity and all those laws were initiated to make the masses of society feel, “safe,” to pander to their fears and insecurities. There are simply too many rules, and they greatly restrict a free society in unnecessary ways and defy common sense. I’m not saying that there should not be speed limits of any kind or rules of any kind. But they should not be set around the parameters of the weak links of society. In Ohio, 65 mph is simply too slow. The speed limit should easily be 85 mph. I would argue that the only reason the laws were created in the first place were to appear to satisfy the whims of the panicky voters, the second handers so that revenue could be generated by the fines for breaking the law. The politicians will point to the fearful public and profess that the laws were created by request, but the real motive is to generate additional tax revenue for the state. That is the reason for all these laws, not the protection of its citizens.

Aroldis Chapman is not just a superman because he can throw a 105 mph fastball and has hundreds of strikeouts to close out victories for the Cincinnati Reds. Chapman even though he is a young man has learned to disobey certain laws in society so that he is not confined to a mundane existence. Chapman was born in communist Cuba and had a chance to compete in the Beijing Olympics but was suspended for attempting to defect from his tyrannical home country of Cuba. President Raul Castro met with Chapman personally and gave him a second chance because the second handers of Cuba wished to use the strength of Chapman to win sports awards for the nation of Cuba and gain world-wide respect, so Chapman was allowed to play in the World Baseball Classic. While participating in the World Port Tournament in Rotterdam, Netherlands Chapman attempted to defect again, to escape the communism of Cuba, and on his second attempt he was successful. He quickly established residence in Andorra and then petitioned Major League Baseball to be granted free agent status. The Cincinnati Reds jumped at the chance, and signed Chapman to at six-year contract worth $30.25 million. To gain all this it cost Chapman his relationship with his mother and father, two sisters and a girlfriend who had given birth to a newborn baby.

If Chapman would have followed the rules, he would still be a prisoner of communism allowing Cuba to loot his talent for a fraction of the cost he is able to get playing for the Cincinnati Reds. He left behind everything to gain everything and it’s his recognition that risk would buy him freedom that allowed him to become what he is today. It’s his tendency to break the rules that earned him freedom his parents could only dream about, and Chapman took the step to take it for himself, which will ultimately benefit his entire family much more than if he allowed himself to be picked apart in the best years of his life by the looting communists of Cuba.

Without question, Chapman sees this situation with the speed limits in The United States the same way. All he wanted to do was pick up his girlfriend at the airport. But he found himself arrested and thrown in jail by the second handers who are attempting to turn The United States into Cuba with more and more laws every day. And the same people who cheer Chapman on the pitching mound turned against him during his arrest, because they see in Chapman a superman that escaped the safety behind their televisions and radios and was functioning like a superior man in the world of the meek, and it scared them. It was not Aroldis Chapman who is in the wrong, he’s simply doing what he’s always done—it’s the weak-minded second hander who created the pathetically low-speed limit in the first place not to protect their lives from danger, but their minds from the reality that they are simply second handers and socially worthless next to the likes of a first hander like Aroldis Chapman.

I like Aroldis Chapman more than ever now. I was a fan before, but now my respect has doubled. I may actually go out and buy one of his jerseys to declare my support of this fine young man who is being ridiculed in society for being too “big” for the average standards of the political class and their pandering mobs of safety seekers.
