The Panic Driven Lakota Looter: Helping the pro levy side find some help

If you are a Frito eating, couch sitting, pill popping insecure parent who is seeking a free education for your children off the backs of residents in the Lakota school district I want to help you with an announcement.  The school principals working with the various PTO groups at Lakota are frustrated that there aren’t more social degenerates to join their ranks in this election of 2013.  They are concerned that there doesn’t seem to be the same “passion” for helping to pass a devastating tax increase this time around.  At least that is the word from within their pro levy ranks.  Outwardly, it is business as usual—apply socialist leaning tax increases to brainwash children into mass collectivism—and lie, cheat and steal to accomplish the task.

So just to make this election a little more balanced, I want to help those enemies of intelligence by distributing their advertisement for a Pro Levy rally that is being organized by the Endeavor PTO group—the type of people I called “latte sipping prostitutes” during the last election.  CLICK HERE TO READ THAT ENQUIRER ARTICLE AND REVIEW MY OPINION OF THESE PEOPLE.  They are at it again, but this time fewer people seem interested in helping the school principals dodge Ohio state law working in favor of tax increases with brain-dead, neurotic levy supporters as their foot soldiers of social destruction.  So for those who are stupid enough to vote for a school levy and secretly seek a baby sitter to watch their children because they are too lazy to care for them personally, below is an event you will want to attend, to be around like-minded pro tax supporters.  As for the rest, here is a glimpse into the mind of social menaces disguised as smiling community patriots.  In reality most of them are simply latte sipping prostitutes with asses………………..well you know the rest.

Hello Endeavor Staff and PTO!

Thank you for sharing your personal emails with me so I can efficiently communicate levy campaign information. (A couple of the staff emails I received are not valid, so please communicate this information with your colleagues.  Jen and Kym, please forward to everyone you can!)  We have two important events coming up as we head into the home stretch of the campaign and we need our Endeavor community to help us make them successful!

October 26th Caravan and Rally!

 

Join us at Endeavor at 9:00 am for this fun event to generate excitement and encourage early voting!

We will dress up our cars and caravan through the community on our way to Plains where we will meet up with the rest of LAKOTA  at 10:00 am for a brief rally, celebration and prizes.  We will have decorating supplies on hand along with donuts and coffee to fuel our spirits.  (Feel free to bring your own decorations as well!  You can print “For Lakota” logos at forlakota.com.)

Following the program, join the group as we head to the Board of Elections to cast our ballots and be counted!

Bring your friends, bring your neighbors and LET’S GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!

Please let me know if you are able to join us so I know how many supplies to purchase.  Let’s make Endeavor’s caravan the most impressive!!!

October 30th Canvassing!

 

I PROMISE it won’t be as bad as it sounds!  Endeavor already filled a phone banking session back in September and made HUNDREDS of calls in less than 2 hours – and everyone came out alive!  🙂  Now it’s time to fill a canvassing session to get people out to VOTE!  As the people who participated in the phone banking can tell you, we are not trying to convince “no” voters to change their minds.  We are simply getting information out and reminding people of the importance of actually casting their ballots.  The levy committee will provide training, including a script and materials. We will travel in teams of 2 so you don’t have to go alone!

We are sharing a session with Heritage on Wednesday, October 30th.  Endeavor is committed to filling 20 spots (10 teams of 2).  We will all meet at Heritage at 4:30 pm for training and then head out from there.  Missy (Heritage’s principal) and I will provide pizza for our awesome volunteers before we hit the pavement.   Please consider volunteering about 3 hours on this evening to help get the “yes” votes to the polls!  Research proves that door to door communication is absolutely critical to winning any campaign.

Please let me know if you are able to support this effort so I can let the committee know how many routes to prepare.  Thanks!

If you cannot participate on the 30th, but would like to help another day, please follow the link below to Sign-Up Genius.

As it can be seen, the principals of several Lakota schools are behind this effort and there are scripts, phone banks and all out attempts to turn NO voters into Yes voters.  They are supposedly doing this on their own time, to avoid violating Ohio law which states that school employees cannot support levy activity. It doesn’t matter to anybody that many of these plans, emails and phone calls do occur during work hours.  But when it comes to what a lot of these school principals get paid at Lakota, a few weekends of time volunteered is worth it to them. Look at what they get paid, seen on the No Lakota Levy website.
2012 Salary Analysis: Lakota School District

Click here to see for yourself! 

http://www.nolakotalevy.com/salaries.html

It becomes clear quickly what’s in it for the school administrators at Lakota.  It’s all about money, and they need enough mindless supporters to jump on board and support their financial scam.  Unfortunately, because of the efforts over the years of educating the public, more people than ever know what is behind these types of games.  It gives me great pride to see that No Lakota Levy has evolved into such a respectable organization that provides so much wonderful content.  It has come a long way from a website that my daughter and I put together on a shoe string budget.  Some of the smartest minds of the Lakota business community are behind the website, and it shows.  I am very proud and happy to share a community with those people as they have taken No Lakota Levy to new levels of competency.

Without groups like No Lakota Levy, there is no defense against the kind of school sponsored activities described in the literature above from the PTO group.  No Lakota Levy today is a kinder, gentler version of a tax fighting organization than when I was with them, but that doesn’t reduce their effectiveness.  I feel more passionately over the wrong doings that occur within the education industry than most people do, so my attitude over public education has reflected that social position.  I obviously do not like supporters and employees of public education for philosophical reasons that I see detrimental to the human race—and capitalism.  The current members of No Lakota Levy are good community minded people who simply wish the facts of the education nightmare currently going on in the Lakota school district be known, and on their new website, they let the facts tell the whole story without a lot of emotion to drive the temperament—which is very good.

The reason for this upcoming Lakota levy, for the proposed impact on businesses, residents barely scraping by, and all the tax payers about to be rampaged with 20% increases in their health care costs due to Obamacare, is to support the salary structure shown above, from the No Lakota Levy website.  The reason that the principals of the schools mentioned are hard at work building a network of levy supporting zombies to do their dirty ground work of tax increase promotion is to protect their wage structure with perceived value hidden behind layers of emotion.  They are protecting their jobs which pay outrageously high benefits for being simply glorified baby sitters, and they need the levy to continue their corrosive pillaging of the Lakota community.

The reason the numbers of people volunteering for these PTO rally events is declining is because more people than ever know why Lakota is financially strapped.  It’s not for lack of money, in the same way that Washington politicians just approved a debt ceiling increase over $17 trillion while tax payers are paying more money to the government than at any point in American history, the government is still spending more money than they are taking in—Lakota plans to spend more money than they take in because of poor management choices—which become glaringly clear when the salary structure is shown.

I’m normally not a person who calls other people names.  I actually do listen to people who think differently than I do.  However, I have learned with these levy supporters that they are fanatically ignorant to the facts of reality and they truly wish to hurt other people with their misguided world view—and neurotic sentiments.  I find them despicable, detrimental to the furtherance of human evolution, and woefully destructive as thinking sentient beings.  I have grown to despise them for their desire to harm entire communities with high taxes based on no fact driven analysis which stays with every single property owner of Liberty and West Chester Townships for most of their lives.  The short-sightedness of the levy supporter angers me greatly.

But even I have a little compassion for them when they try to host a rally, and nobody wants to show up because everyone thinks they are idiots.  They’ll have the usual levy fanatics—the kind of people who still think they are high school cheerleaders and feel so guilty over what crappy parents they are, that they think by passing a levy with all their volunteerism they can show their kids how much they care.  But a vast majority of the people will sit on the sidelines and resent the bastions of greed which the pro levy supporters at Lakota represent because they understand the end game.  The sum of the entire ordeal is in the extraordinary wages the school employees make, and their willingness to use children as emotional hostages in order to secure even more money for themselves at the expense of everyone.  For that reason I think these levy supporters are the most disgusting people I have ever met, and deserve to feel the pain of reality with a NO vote on November 5th.

Rebel Republicans Versus The Old School GOP: How Cindy Carpenter’s War Chest Gets Filled, and Why

Of course John Boehner and the rest of the Republicans caved as the debt limit neared.  Business and politics are so sinfully entangled that they can no longer be viewed separately, which is a tremendous problem.   Shortly after the deal was done and the Democrats and Republicans agreed on a bill that did nothing to Obamacare, the Republicans yielded once again to the radicals in Washington prompting Boehner to call his golf buddy 700 WLW talk show host Bill Cunningham to brag about it.  It is also noted that Cunningham’s other good local friend is Sheriff Jones who is about to be a special guest at Cindy Carpenter’s fundraising reception.  The network of the old statist bound GOP was clear in those defining moments of American history where the temperament of the nation moved to the left yet again because of the corrosive politics about to be unveiled.  

To understand what is going on with the Republican Party at the level of Washington D.C. it is best to look at examples within our local communities where the characters are better known, then understand that the same type of intermingling of ideals driven by crony capitalism is taking place.  When it is said that John Boehner is a dirty dealer willing to sacrifice conservative values in favor of a deal the context of Boehner’s construction must be understood.  The people who put him into power in the first place must be examined—then their reasons require understanding as to motive.  Understanding that, all one need to do is look at the Butler County Commissioner Cindy Carpenter fundraiser and study who was involved and why—because it is the same political machine that supports John Boehner.1FUND RAISER INVITATION

Many of the people in the following story are people I know, and the nature of the described activity is something that disgusts me.  Some of them I grew up with, and I think a lot of.  I disagree with their actions, but I like them as people because while I represent the New Rebellion of Conservative Republicanism, and they represent the Old School Machine Politics of the GOP, we have in common a love of capitalism.  The biggest differences between us are their love of crony capitalism and my love of laissez-faire capitalism.  Both views are far superior to the socialist leaning Democrats who are philosophically based on wealth redistribution.  At least the characters below are creating jobs, expanding the economy, and making the world better.  However, the alignment of business and politics should be forbidden, but as it will be shown below, is the dominate concern of the parties involved.  Politics should not be about using government to advance business ideals, but unfortunately, that is the current way of doing business, and it shouldn’t be.

They say that money is the mother’s milk of politics and it is absolutely true that you cannot run a campaign without money.  A few well-off politicians fund their own campaigns and do not have to take money from donors.  Those who are well-off were successful and are proven leaders who should be in the greatest position financially, socially, and philosophically to represent a republic.  Others, whose personal finances are less substantial, find themselves obliged to use a variety of methods to accumulate the money necessary to run for office.    This is the kind of person that John Boehner is, and County Commissioner Cindy Carpenter.  It is among the career politicians, however, that the fine art of raising money so that they can continue holding office has become a way of life that varies between the moral and the immoral role of government infringement into individual lives.

There are always individuals who have businesses that can either be helped or hurt by political office holders.  They tend to be generous donors to the campaigns of incumbents who will make the decisions that will positively or negatively impact those business owners businesses, thus the concept of crony capitalism was born.  Power-hungry nut jobs who would be successful in no other endeavor find they have power over businessmen and women because they hold the regulatory purses of a community.  Smart business people find that to appease these parasites, they must contribute money to purchase the loyalty of the politicians and once they have them in their pocket, they keep them in place to preserve their business interests.

There is yet another source of “donations” to incumbents that is less well-known.  In the not too distant past in Butler County it was common for the holders of elective office to require as a condition of employment that their subordinates register in their political party and work the streets when election time came distributing literature and actively campaigning to get their boss re-elected.   This even went so far as to have office holders subtly require that their employees  make contributions to their boss’ election campaign.  There was a not too subtle suggestion that promotions or continued employment depended on the size of the contribution.

If you have the opportunity to ask anyone who was in the employment of Butler County 20 years ago and you will easily confirm this.

The system existed because the non-union county employees are “employees at will.”  That is to say, they can be let go without any explanation, union workers have used this practice to advance their cause for years, and is yet another by-product of crony capitalism.  This is the cause of most government employees nationally who are unionized.  Unfortunately instead of the situation in Butler Country where such the trend was to push for employees to become Republican, union employees are pushed into voting for Democrats.  Both use collectivism to advance a political cause, and are wrong in their approach.   There is no civil service system on the county level as there is in the Federal Government where government employees have a myriad of rules protecting them and preventing them from being discharged at the whim of the elected official.  This Federal system is the result of laws enacted after President Garfield was assassinated by a disgruntled office seeker.

The question comes as to whether or not this practice still exists.  Imagine if you would the case of a county commissioner.  The commissioners have no direct employees, but they do control the budgets of every department in the county.  The good will of a commissioner can ensure that your budget is not “trimmed” as much as might be otherwise appropriate when it comes time to tighten the belt.   County commissioners also approve a wide variety of land use rezoning.  They wield, as a result, a great deal of influence that can be turned to the purpose raising those pesky donations that are so necessary to run for office.

This said, might one not wonder why, during October 2013, when the Butler County Commissioners are approving the budgets for the various departments of county government by Commissioner. Cindy Carpenter held a political fund-raiser on October 17th and from the guest list shown on the enclosed picture, the objective is easy to determine.  Each Monday from October 7th, through the 21st, the commissioners held public hearings to review and approve the budgets of the various county departments.  See how it works; donate money to Carpenter’s campaign and hope that the doors of government are opened to the financial donors.  Businessmen after all don’t provide contributions out of the goodness of their heart, but as an investment.  Under a political system of crony capitalism, they really have no choice, if they want to be in business, or stay in business; they have to pay to play ball.

Commissioner Carpenter was Clerk of Courts prior to becoming a Butler County commissioner.  Between 2006 and 2008 she raised a total of $5,215 from various county employees.  The Clerk of Court’s office employed 67 individuals and received contributions from 81 county employees, elected county officials, and the family members of county employees.  These contributions ran from $5 to $1,000 and were even given by Sheriff Jones.

In 2010, the year that Commissioner Carpenter ran for the office of county commissioner, she raised $12,535 from 79 county employees, elected county officials, and the family members of county employees.  But the size of the donations ranged from $10 to $5,785, the latter again being from the Sheriff.    County Prosecutors donated $550.  The County Engineer donated $250. The Treasurer donated $200.  The Auditor donated $120, but strangely, the Recorder donated nothing.

Now, let us look at the list of people on the 2013 fund-raiser.  We again have Sheriff Jones.  Suddenly, we have the Recorder, Danny Crank, appearing on the list of the “host committee,” which translates as big donors.

The Sheriff’s interests are obvious.  His budget consumes over half of the general fund so it’s easy to see why Jones would be interested in assuring the goodwill of a commissioner; someone who will always vote to support his budget?  In 2011 during the Issue 2 campaign Sheriff Jones worked with Bill Cunningham of 700 WLW to defeat the collective bargaining reform bill enacted by John Kasich.  Jones bragged at the time about what a good job he had done securing his funding and managing his budget under the current collective bargaining restrictions.  What didn’t get talked about was that he had managed to stack the commissioner deck in his favor to help secure his funding and avoid the kind of budget shortfalls that most elected officials suffer through, who don’t have politics so firmly rooted in his corner.  Would Jones have the ability to manage his collective bargaining agreements if he didn’t have commissioners like Cindy Carpenter working so closely as an alley——–we’ll never know, because the relationship is common in Butler County politics and is as stable as sunshine in the desert.

As for Mr. Crank, one might suspect that he’s making up for lost time and has figured out that maybe he’d better catch up with the other elected officials in the donation category in order to protect his office from political pressure from the inside pushing him out.  Again, we’ll never know if the influence is corrosive or not because it is ever-present.  Only a complete acceptance of laissez-faire capitalism would end the practice described and the massive amount of money generated through taxes and distributed for the benefit of political contributors in the current crony capitalism system shown in Butler County and its politicians.

Then there is of course from the invite list Ms. Bea Lyons.  Her husband is a judge, whose budget is approved by the commissioners.  Tara D’Epfanio is also a county employee.  Joe Mulligan is a member of the Middletown City Council.  Any possibility that the county might make decisions that would be helpful or harmful to the city of Middletown?  And look at all the other township trustees on the list, why are they there?    Then there are the business men who either own or work for people who own large tracts of land and have major interests that are constantly before the county commissioners: Schwartz, Terry, Todd, and Wunnenberg, three of those four I know personally, and like.  I know why they are there, and so do they.  They aren’t looking for pictures of Cindy Carpenter to put on their desks.  They need to protect their investments from the looting tendencies of government, or advance their businesses using government to eliminate their competition.

The only people on this list who do not have financial interests, whose budgets are not controlled by the commissioners, or who are not family members are the other two commissioners: Dixon and Rogers.

There is no question what’s going on, everyone knows it.  And as I said at the start of this article, I’d rather deal with crony capitalism than socialism, so I like most of the people mentioned.  They are not bastions of rebellious conservatives the way I’d like to see the Republican Party.  They are not bad people, but are all caught in a bad system that began with the introduction of government into the affairs of business, and the destructive tendency of collectivism to introduce itself in both political parties.  I support candidates who refuse collectivism, who are independently wealthy, wise, or otherwise proven, and have no desire to live in a public office.  Those who make politics their business for more than a term or two, or an office or two, climbing their way up the ranks kissing anyone’s ass they can kiss to get them someplace powerful are people I want nothing to do with, and I don’t want my tax money feeding them anything.

John Boehner was built by the same system that supports Cindy Carpenter, and it is also why there is next to no chance of removing him from power.   In Washington Boehner has become very wealthy through the kinds of crony capitalism that is obvious at the Carpenter fundraiser.  Boehner is not the nastiest culprit in Washington, Mitch McConnell is quite a bit worse, but he has had to make enough deals that it compromises his moral authority.  After Boehner has compromised himself with dealings in order to generate money for his “war chest,” he has lost the ability to have firm political convictions which represent the people who elected him, and the republic of America is weaker because of it.  He is in the same position as Cindy Carpenter is in. What if Cindy told Sheriff Jones that she was supporting cuts in his budget that he disagreed with?  Where would the money for her “war chest” go?  The answer is that she would lose her office, and she would lose her influence, and ability to sit down with the real power of Butler County, the capitalists.

The best choice for future candidates is to vote for people who don’t need the money, and don’t want to do a public service job for their entire lives.  If voters continue to vote in favor of career politicians, they will get the same results and attract the kind of people who are terrified of actually performing in a capitalist system and fall in love with a name plate of power which sits on their desk given to them by donors who expect favors for their investment.  Those types of politicians then become the types who believe that society serves them, and that it is the duty of an electorate to provide babysitting services while they scream like tyrants at their subjects with the audacity of a Roman Emperor.  They believe such things because crony capitalism gives them false power by making the strong, the creative, and the intellectually superior beg like dogs at the feet of weaklings who get themselves elected to office by promises they can sell to the highest bidder.

Rich Hoffman Supports A School Levy: No……………………guess again

Obviously William Schmidt is baiting me to comment on the school levy situation in Springboro where I have praised the efforts of Kelly Khols, even though her board is putting up a renewal levy.  Schmidt and I have frequent banters back and forth and occasionally I use his arguments upon these pages as platforms for discussion.  He represents the normal pro education viewpoint and brings things to my attention that keep me plugged in to how “those people” see the world.  I am against Springboro’s renewal levy.  In fact, I support a complete disassembly of the public education system as we know it to be rebuilt as a competitive undertaking.  Public education is like the Harlem Globetrotters, they look good as long as they play the Washington Generals, but let them play in the NBA against the Heat, or the Lakers—who does anybody think would win?  The NBA is a competitive driven business where teams are forced to get better through competition.  The Harlem Globetrotters is a circus act of trick shots and nonsense.  That is why public education resembles the Harlem Globetrotters and not the Miami Heat.  I want to see education methods that make schools like the Heat and less like the Globetrotters so I do not support throwing money at schools through taxation.  However, my friends at No Lakota Levy who have much milder thoughts about public education than I do like the trend in Springboro of leaving a decreasing taxation footprint on the community over the coming years.  I used an add prepared by No Lakota Levy reflecting that sentiment on a recent posting which drove Schmidt to make the conclusions cited below.  CLICK TO REVIEW THAT ADD.

Once again in a Rich Hoffman blog I see a reference praising the Springboro schools.

I salute (and envy!) Springboro, which is reducing the tax burden on its citizens. The renewal levy on Springboro’s November ballot will be set at a lower mileage rate to reduce taxes from that levy by nearly 15 percent. This is $1,353,800 per year, and $6,769,000 over 5 years. Congratulations on a job well done!

Although Rich didn’t seem to write the above himself, his praise of the actions of the Springboro Board in the past would certainly make it seem that he is in support of their actions and the reference above.  Isn’t this the real news of the day– that Rich Hoffman is supporting a school levy.

It is also news that no one — not Rich Hoffman, not NoLakotaLevy, not Daryl Parks, not the so-called transparent Springboro School Board is telling the public what the tax reduction would be if they vote down this renewal levy in Springboro.

This tells me that politics is the motive.  We all know that Kelly Kohls, Jim Rigano, David Petroni will look like failures if their levy fails because the school could not “live within their means” if the public says no to the renewal levy.  They won’t tell the public what their tax reduction will be if they vote down the renewal levy.

What Hoffman, Parks, NoLakota, Springboro Board all ignore is that the success of their schools all hinges on the extra efforts the teachers give beyond the letters of their contracts.  We are talking about hours and hours each week.  No casino money, state auditor money, shopping center money provides for that.  The people above want to flat out reduce the cost of labor.  That is their only goal.  They hope that the teachers will continue to work just as hard as their salaries are being held down — in fact they demand that.

But it is ironic that Hoffman, Parks, NoLakota, and Springboro base their hopes on the passage of a school levy.  They should, instead praise the selfless efforts of their teachers who continue to work extremely hard as their communities continue to vote down levies and take the staff’s efforts for granted.

Still, let’s not bury the lead story here.  It is quite newsworthy when Rich Hoffman supports a school levy.

William Schmidt

Well, I’ll make it clear since William has drawn a false conclusion, that I am not with Kelly on the renewl levy in Springboro.  Many people in West Chester and Liberty Township wanted me to run for school board at Lakota and I promptly instructed them that I had no desire to see that system remain intact.  I could not be elected to a school board position to do to it what Obama is attempting to do to America, and that is disassemble it from the inside.  I just don’t operate that way, and that would be my only intention for getting involved, dismantlement.  Relatively speaking, Kelly has done a good job in Springboro, but it’s not what I’d like to see.  Kelly’s renewal levy does not introduce competition to public education allowing those measures to come about.  The system Kelly is currently advocating is still a system that steals from tax payers to basically pay for the Harlem Globetrotters to perform circus acts with our children—raising them to become clowns.

When I share personal moments of my life with readers here, I do it to show how I think things should be done. I am of the thinking that children are wonderful before they get to age ten, but after that, most children learn to “mature” and lose their ability to quickly learn, adapt, and overcome obstacles.  I have been enjoying recently the Fox Television show Master Chef Junior and have been amazed at the level of food preparation that those children have displayed at such a very tender age.  Some of the work they are doing is truly remarkable, and a lesson to everything that is wrong with public education.  Kids are taught to be stupid in public education; they are taught social restriction, pecking order politics, and how to confine their imaginations to the limits of a socialist teacher instead of their limitless intellectual capacities.

My daughter was watching me read an Incredible Hulk comic book to her son the other day and I could see the pain on her face.  I raised her and her sister the same way as I am doing with my grandson, which I share with my reader here in the clip below.  I know my grandson cannot understand the words I’m reading to him, so I teach him intuitively in a visual way the foundation concepts he will need to be able to apply to reading later.  I use comic books to read to him because it is a visual form of learning, plus the characters are engaged in story lines that define right and wrong—which I can use to help the young fellow set his own internal parameters.  That I am doing such a thing should be extremely obvious to the casual viewer.

And that is how I raised my daughters, mentored many other young people over the years, and will continue to do so.  It is how students learn.  My wife thought the moment was cute, so she recorded part of it.  Modern public education does not do the things I was doing in the video, they do not make value assessments between right and wrong—bad behavior or good.  They do not seek to open the mind, but to close it—so not to question the nature of their teachings.  My grandson is only just a bit above one year old in that video and he knows intuitively what’s going on.  He has no point of reference to judge against, but make no mistake, when he’s twenty to thirty years old he will find himself reflecting back onto my intonations of emphasis when referring to the topless woman on the comic pages, the heroics of Hulk, the shadiness of the villain and how it could be determined by his eyes, and the resilience of heroics.   My daughter was sad because she is literally alone among her age group where her peers do not share her hopes, and illuminating outlook on life.  I couldn’t be there for all her friends, and the people who have come into her life when they were the age of her son, and it makes her sad to see the context.  Her sadness is in realizing that very few people do these kinds of things with young people any more—which used to be common.  Our society trains commercially our entire civilization to be 18 to 25 years old, then everything is downhill from there.  We ignore the magic of youth, and the wisdom of age in favor of the sexual throttling of hormone driven sentient beings.  And public education has sought to perpetuate this destructive trend by putting shackles on the mind of the youth instead of wings.  Instead of showing a commitment to creating young people like those shown in the Master Chef Junior television show, public education produces the half-dead sloths seen in Farris Bueller’s Day Off and it makes me absolutely sick.

So while I do like to see Springboro schools running their tax burden on their community backwards, it is not enough for me.  It’s enough for No Lakota Levy who has evolved into a fiscally conscious organization instead of a politically active one—which is my interest, but until Springboro, Lakota, Fairfield, Mason, Lebanon and all other schools are off the federal payroll, and curriculum is driven by actual market forces, I am not interested in a single thing the public schools are doing.  I don’t want to see children growing up to be the Washington Generals, but Labron James and Michael Jordon.  I want every kid to aspire to be Chuck Yeager, Walt Disney, Stan Lee, Steven Spielberg, Bruce Lee, Gordon Ramnsey, Ayn Rand, Bill Gates, and any other great person.  And people don’t become great learning to stand in line and take orders.  They become great because their minds were allowed to be.  In almost every case, great people have supportive parents and a family structure that allows minds to bloom.  Almost never is it a school that inspires a child to greatness—it is nearly exclusive to a strong parent, grandparent, or both who intervened in the mind of a young person from being destroyed by public education.

When Schmidt says that the success of schools all hinge on the extra efforts the teachers give beyond the letters of their contracts he is lost to the ways of instruction and how young minds process data.  Public schools teach kids to become stupid as they start out quite brilliantly.  Public education is all about putting out the lights of a child’s mind and I think it is preposterously outrageous to fund that destruction with taxation.  So to be clear, I do not agree with Kelly Kohls and the Springboro school board’s renewal levy.  I think the parents should pay for their own kids to attend their educations.  I should not have to help pay with state tax money, or local tax money off my property the further destruction of children just so parents can have a baby sitter to watch their children during the work day.  As a parent, and now as a grandparent, I do take the extra time to mentor children and I know why it’s important, and how much energy it takes, and it’s not something that can be purchased from the government.

All public education is capable of producing is the Washington Generals.  Anything of real greatness comes from some other element outside of a school.  It does not come alone from a teacher, or their efforts toward students as suggested by Schmidt.  Without a solid foundation even the best teachers will fail, because the mind of a child is often ruined during the first years of a child’s life.  The final act of destruction begins the first day of kindergarten and only gets worse from there.  Things are this way because the human race has incorrectly allowed it, by placing the focus of prime age and value on the wrong age bracket.

The “Indecent Proposal” of Communist Plank #17: Get control of public education — 1958

There is 100% without any doubt what-so-ever that communism infiltrated American public schools for most of the 20th Century, making an extraordinary push in the 60s and 70s.  Once The Department of Education was formed in 1979 it was already too late, but even still it was reported that even under the Reagan White House, a communist plot was being hatched to teach communism to American students.  The reports crossed President Reagan’s desk—so he knew about it.  CLICK HERE FOR PROOF.  At the start of his presidency Reagan vowed to put an end to Jimmy Carter’s Department of Education, but never gained the political clout to do so.  After the assassination attempt on Reagan and his massive tax cuts to get the economy started again, he had gambled all his political capital at the time, leaving The Department of Education to become further entrenched.  He was at the time at war with Russia and communism was the declared enemy as it was the cause of the Vietnam conflict, the near tragedy in Cuba, countless insurgents in Central America and of course the space race with Russia.  The hatred for communism is what advanced NASA into formation and put man on the moon as a declaration of capitalism.  So Reagan surely wasn’t surprised by the reports that crossed his desk announcing open communism was the aim of American schools organized under the department of education.  This brings us to the latest and one of the most devastating of the 45 Planks of Communism from the 1958 book The Naked Communist, which is being covered here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom plank by plank.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW ALL 45 OF THEM.  #17 is probably the most dangerous plank of them all—and one that is most obvious today.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

 

Be sure to watch the videos on this site as supplemental material to this text from top to bottom, it tells a story.  It is very important.  I have the very unique position of growing up during a time when all this was happening, coupled with an unusually clear photographic memory extending back to age two. I can still remember smells, facial expressions, sentence construction, etc., of events from my first couple years of grade school even with the logic filters turned on that comes with age.  Without knowing what communism was, I determined as far back as the first grade that the entire system was wrong and that it should be rejected.  My teachers in grades kindergarten, first grade, second grade and third grade all had conferences with my mother trying to put pressure on me to conform to classroom politics, which I simply refused, instinctively.  I didn’t know why, only that I should.  I was paddled, given detentions, grounded, isolated and pulled in every direction imaginable, but I never yielded not even an ounce—and I am very, very proud of that fact today.  The year I was in the second grade it was the bicentennial year of 1976 and our teachers allowed all the students to celebrate by dressing up as Revolutionary War heroes, as The Department of Education had not yet been created which would eventually aim to put an end to such patriotic endeavors.  Our second grade teacher took us to the little school-house on Princeton Road, the old single classroom building Hughes which was being restored at the time to study up on the Declaration of Independence and American Constitution.  I remember thinking then that the formation of public schools was wrong in the methods they were using to teach.  But I didn’t question it too much as I was watching Little House on the Prairie during Monday evenings with my mother and saw the schools in America had pretty much always been the same way, top down collectivism that was strictly contingent upon the quality of the teacher.  If the teacher was a bad one, the entire class would suffer.  On the rare times that the teacher was exceptional, a small percentage of the children in the class might find something unlocked within them and become better.  They entire system seemed inefficient and wrong to me.

To understand why communists wanted to exploit the weakness of the American public education system which I identified in the 2nd grade, one needs to understand the way the male mind sometimes uses sex as a weapon.  The KGB in Russia was undoubtedly shaped by the male mind, so such phallic comparisons are appropriate once you get down to the discussion of psychological motives.  Communists wanted to destroy capitalism, and they wanted to erode away American value from the inside out.  If there was any doubt of this read the book by Ayn Rand called We The Living, which I will come back to,  describes how the U.S.S.R was forced to think, and lays the groundwork for KGB infiltration into America forming The Department of Education, domination over the teaching unions, and molding a new generation of administrators through the university system.  The entire complex ordeal can be understood through the motives of sex.

The #1 reason a man wishes to sleep with his best friend’s wife, or the reason a man might be hired, or otherwise coerced to seduce the wife of a rival is so that the value of the love the man shares with his wife will be weakened—hopefully weakening the man—(the husband).  When one man sleeps with another man’s claim on a bed partner, he displays power over the man who made the commitment.  When the husband learns about the penetration of his sacred love nest by another man’s phallic presence, that woman will become tainted to him—likely forever.  The love union between the husband and wife will become forever weakened and any products of that marriage will began to erode away.  The process doesn’t happen quickly, but over time, often taking many years.  The only defense the husband has is if he is aware of the nature of the attack and can find a way to deal with it.  This is the nature of nearly all the fantasies that are carried out all too often when men seduce the bed partners of their rivals, and this includes rivals within the family, brothers, sisters, step parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.  The act of sex in these cases is similar to the ancient belief that in cannibalism, if the heart of an enemy was eaten, then some of the power of that enemy would transfer over to the attacker and he’d become more powerful.  Modern men, if they wish to diminish other men, attempt to do so through the women those men love, and if successful, can crush the rival directly and indirectly.

The KGB wished to taint the American education system in the same way that one man wishes to sleep with a rival’s wife.  Using communism to infiltrate the ideals taught to the next generation of children it would plant the seeds of discontent in the mind of the participants.  The same way a woman who has been seduced by another man, her husband’s rival might find herself beginning to question the power, intelligence, and potency of her husband after allowing herself to open up to another man, the unarmed young American student once invoked with communism will forever question the merits of capitalism.

From the fifth, through the tenth grade I found myself perplexed by the term “Let’s Party” which was so incredibly popular in public school, as almost every kid I knew used the term.  For reasons I couldn’t put my finger on at the time, I avoided such terms because they seemed contrived—foreign, and I wanted nothing to do with them.  I certainly would not have guessed that the American enemy at the time, Russia had originated the term.  After all I was at the opening night of Rocky IV and it was all about the capitalism of Rocky fighting the mechanical nature of communism in the boxing ring.  At the movie theater seemingly my entire school had shown up, the theater was one of the really big ones at Showcase Cinemas, and it was packed.  My date was a highly sought after young woman a few years older than me who was dating a Bengal player and was the next door neighbor to one of my best friends—and male rivals.  I knew exactly what I was doing by taking her on a date to see Rocky IV.  The Bengal player got over it but my friend never did.  During the Rocky movie, communism was defined as the villain.  It was clear, but all the kids I grew up with missed the real villain.  Nearly all of them after the movie concluded declared one place or another as the destination for their term, “Let’s Party,” which is what they did.  They gathered in groups of eight or more became increasingly intoxicated—non thinking, loose sexually, and displayed their vulnerabilities to each other openly.  I of course avoided those kinds of entanglements and took my date elsewhere.  But the entire evening I kept hearing the term “Let’s Party” and found myself disheveled by the phrase for reasons that were purely instinctual.

“Let’s Party” was a term used in Ayn Rand’s We The Living  when members of the communist party youth movement would use social gatherings to meld themselves together through collective embarrassment.  The purpose of these “Parties” was to defame sacred beliefs, deflower young women, and lower the expectations of young men, so that everyone would view everyone else as equal to one another.  The term, “Let’s Party” 60 years later was floating around my classrooms and coming from the mouths of young Lakota students on a regular bases—but how, and why.  Now thirty years later, the term “Let’s Party” is universally understood, and accepted.  Everyone seems to know what it means when perfect strangers utter it.  My rhetorical response has always been of sarcasm when someone asks me to perform the task.  I would say—“what are we celebrating.”  That of course always draws blank stares as they do not know what to say next—because the phrase was not created as a thinking mechanism but as a non-thinking activity.  If the term does not conger up drunkenness, sexual misconduct, weakness, and other primal human desires, then the aim is mysteriously vacant from the minds of man—because most people let others do their thinking for them—which is how the KGB infiltrated American schools politically through the front door and right under President Reagan’s nose.  The KGB knew that Reagan was a very good communicator and that in the short run, he would bring down communism in Russia by crushing them economically.  But the KGB had another plan, if they couldn’t beat capitalism directly, then they’d undermine it the same way a man seduces a woman to get into the head of a rival.  The scouting report on Reagan was that he wasn’t very good with the details, so they struck at his weakness, using the newly created Department of Education to bring communism directly into The United States.  The KGB seduced American education, planted deep seeds of doubt, discontent, and phallic presence, and let the slow destruction begin.   CLICK HERE FOR PROOF.

There is no hesitation on my part in declaring that Communist Plank #17 has been fully implemented, and it goes unsaid the same way a couple avoids discussing their sexual mistakes of the past, or lovers that they had shared a bed with outside of their relationship.  Communism has tainted our education system deliberately and the shame of it keeps everyone from talking about it.  So much time has passed that teachers of Common Core, Race to the Top, and virtually every curriculum in The United States find themselves preaching soft communism, or open socialism to American children thinking that they are teaching “American” ideals.  But they’re not.  They are teaching communism disguised with seductive terminology such as “social justice,” “fairness,” “equality,” and other communist expressions decorated under the flag of Democratic politics, supported by a progressive label.  I know it’s true because I personally watched it happen step by step and had the unique aptitude to chronicle it from a very young age and never become seduced by it.  This has allowed me to name the villain because shame does not keep it off my tongue.

I wasn’t sure how serious the situation truly was regarding communism being taught in public schools until I read We The Living.  Before that book I was searching for answers and everything came back insufficient to explain the problems I was observing.  But after We The Living, I realized that what the communists of the 20th Century had performed was a global infiltration of the philosophy of Karl Marx and put it into the minds of nearly every student using stolen tax money to commit the crime.  The situation is actually much worse than I thought; it is a thing of nightmares.  Communism in public education is not a conspiracy, it is a fact.  The evidence is clear and it puts every child taught under that system in danger.  When I spoke about the Rocky movie of my youth, it is true that most of those partiers went on to live somewhat normal lives, raise families, maintain jobs, and own property becoming good American citizens—at least compared to other people on planet earth.  But I can declare that the theater at the time in the old Showcase Cinema had well over 300 people in it on that night and of all those including my date, maybe only one or two have lived fruitful lives into their 40s and 50s without massive amounts of destruction brought upon them because of their acceptance of social collectivism.  Most of their high blood pressure medicine, their need for Viagra, and the many failures they stare at in the mirror every morning can be traced back to their teenage years and their utterance of the term, “Let’s Party,” which was given to them by 1926 Petrograd, the communist export of the newly formed U.S.S.R.  And the kids of today are much, much, much worse off.

Just asking your children dear reader what they learned in school today, and you will see the aims of communism coming out in their report.  Forget the modern names given, study the content, and you will see the truth.  Think of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.  The disguise is meant to deceive, and communists have performed such a deception hiding behind the term, progressive.

Communist Plank #16: The roots of NAMBLA in American society

To prove that America has long been infiltrated with communism as stated in the 1958 book The Naked Communist I am covering each of the 45 Planks of Communism cited there to provide the proof.  CLICK HERE TO READ THE LATEST INSTALLMENT.  When it is understood to what extent communism has been quietly placed into our culture during a very delicate time in American history, it can then be understood what is happening to the world in the modern age.  So let us explore the meaning of Plank # 16 shown below.

 

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

Over the last 30 years American society has been under siege mysteriously by a rash of court cases driven by money grabbing lawyers hungry to charge $300-$500 per hour to their clients.  The lawyers learned their tactics during their law degrees by professors already trained in the ways of communism—only under different names.  Any doctrine that embraces collectivism over individuality has its roots in communist propaganda planted generations before even the law professors received their educations, so the concepts of communism were taught without naming the name allowing entire generations of young lawyers to advance communism thought thinking they were actually fighting for civil liberties.  This has resulted in court cases removing the Ten Commandments from public places, allowed defiling art to attack symbols of American heritage, and created many millions of pages of case-law in civil rights litigation that have shaped our society to such a radical position that children are presently suspended from school just for making the shape of a gun with their hands.  The meaning behind such measures is fear from law suits leaving public schools to over-react from fear of parasitic lawyers that might bring lawsuits should a school shooting erupt.  The communist intention of the law to begin with was to attack the concept of the Second Amendment so that children would grow up in a world not accepting the use of personal firearms.  The school was not devious in suspending the students for pretending to shoot other students in normal games of “cops and robbers” they were simply protecting themselves from the potential of future lawsuits.  But it was lawyers who created the case-law which provoked such a fear in the first place and the roots of that desire came from Communist Plank #16.

To prove the validity of the claim made by the book The Naked Communist one only need to look at the ability of the organization known as NAMBLA to rise to prominence and use the American courts through the ACLU.  NAMBLA is openly wrong, and unquestionably evil, yet it is advanced and defended publically as a way to attack the First Amendment by pretending to defend it.  NAMBLA is a byproduct of the International Lesbian and Gay Association which is supported by The United Nations and is protected by politicians like Hillary Clinton.  Working together, these organizations have openly attacked American tradition by seeking to twist The Bill of Rights legally to invoke public hatred for those same Rights.  This was the intention of communist infiltration of the legal system specifically targeting civil rights.

 

 

The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is a pedophile and pederasty advocacy organization in the United States that works to abolish age of consent laws criminalizing adult sexual involvement with minors,[1][2] and for the release of all men who have been jailed for sexual contacts with minors that did not involve coercion.[1][3] Some reports state that the group no longer has regular national meetings, and that as of the late 1990s, to avoid local police infiltration, the organization discouraged the formation of local chapters.[3][4] Around 1995, an undercover detective discovered that there were 1,100 people on the rolls.[3] As of 2005, a newspaper report stated that NAMBLA was based in New York and San Francisco.[3]

In 1993, the International Lesbian and Gay Association achieved United Nations consultative status. NAMBLA’s membership in ILGA drew heavy criticism and caused the suspension of ILGA. Many gay organizations called for the ILGA to dissolve ties with NAMBLA. Republican Senator Jesse Helms proposed a bill to withhold $119 million in UN contributions until U.S. President Bill Clinton could certify that “no UN agency grants any official status, accreditation, or recognition to any organization which promotes, condones, or seeks the legalization of pedophilia, that is, the sexual abuse of children”. The bill was unanimously approved by Congress and signed into law by Clinton in April 1994.

IN 1994, ILGA expelled NAMBLA and two other groups (MARTIJN and Project Truth) because they were judged to be “groups whose predominant aim is to support or promote pedophilia.” Although ILGA removed NAMBLA, the UN reversed its decision to grant ILGA special consultative status. Repeated attempts by ILGA to reacquire special status with the UN were eventually successful in 2006.[23]

Gregory King of the Human Rights Campaign later said that “NAMBLA is not a gay organization … They are not part of our community and we thoroughly reject their efforts to insinuate that pedophilia is an issue related to gay and lesbian civil rights.”[24] NAMBLA responded by claiming that “man/boy love is by definition homosexual,” that “man/boy lovers are part of the gay movement and central to gay history and culture,” and that “homosexuals denying that it is ‘not gay’ to be attracted to adolescent boys are just as ludicrous as heterosexuals saying it’s ‘not heterosexual’ to be attracted to adolescent girls.”[24]

In 2000, a Boston couple, Robert and Barbara Curley, sued NAMBLA for the wrongful death of their son. According to the plaintiffs, Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, who were convicted of murdering the Curleys’ son Jeffrey, “stalked … tortured, murdered and mutilated [his] body on or about October 1, 1997. Upon information and belief immediately prior to said acts Charles Jaynes accessed NAMBLA’s website at the Boston Public Library.”[8] The lawsuit further alleged that “NAMBLA serves as a conduit for an underground network of pedophiles in the United States who use their NAMBLA association and contacts therein and the Internet to obtain and promote pedophile activity.”[8] Jaynes wrote in his diary, “This was a turning point in discovery of myself…. NAMBLA’s Bulletin helped me to become aware of my own sexuality and acceptance of it […].”[25]

Citing cases in which NAMBLA members have been convicted of sexual offenses against children, Larry Frisoli, the attorney representing the Curleys, argued that it is a “training ground” for adults who wish to seduce children, in which men exchange strategies on how to find and groom child sex partners. Frisoli also claimed that NAMBLA has sold at its website what he called “The Rape and Escape Manual” that detailed how to avoid being caught and prosecuted.[26] The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) stepped in to defend NAMBLA as a free speech matter and won a dismissal based on the fact that NAMBLA is organized as an unincorporated association, not a corporation. John Reinstein, the director of the ACLU Massachusetts, said that although NAMBLA “may extol conduct which is currently illegal”, there was nothing on its website that “advocated or incited the commission of any illegal acts, including murder or rape”.[27]

The Curleys continued the suit as a wrongful death action against individual NAMBLA members, some of whom were active in the group’s leadership. The targets of the wrongful death suits included David Thorstad, a co-founder of NAMBLA. The Curleys alleged that Jaynes and Sicari, who were convicted of the rape and murder of their son, were members.[citation needed] The lawsuit was dropped in April 2008 after a judge ruled that a key witness was not competent to testify.[28]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Man/Boy_Love_Association

As a result of the existence of NAMBLA which started in 1978 there are countless rapists, pedophiles, and sexual deviants that have been allowed to openly express themselves which directly attacks the moral aptitude of America.  Communists knew that if the American people could no longer differentiate between right and wrong they would lose their way and fall to the collectivism of communism by default seeking safety in numbers.  The attack against American civil liberties through the mask of defense was to frighten, outrage, and move patriotic sentiment away from The Constitution, and toward social collectivism opening the psychological door to communism.

In this way lawyers have been used to destroy the American family through easy divorce legislation, cases where schools can infringe upon family through inference, and children are not even allowed to make certain shapes with their hands so to quell the sentiments of the collective society.  Individuality has been attacked for the “greater good,” and the cases that paved the way were those centering around NAMBLA—which were so extreme that once accepted, case-law allowed the book of interpretation to be opened widely so that right and wrong behavior were no longer applicable.

This has always been the intention of Communist Plank #16, and the result is all around American society today.  It is the cause as to why most people simply shake their head in bewilderment when they hear the latest atrocities on the nightly news and seek collective activities of association to protect their fragile minds from further imposition.  The intention of global communists during the 40s and 50s were to bring to the next century in America a nation that had no moral ground to stand upon allowing communism to penetrate the borders of capitalism and destroy it forever.  Capitalism is an economic system where the morally good tends to succeed over the bad, so judgments of value must be removed before communism can be accepted by mass society.  The intention of Plank #16 was to achieve this eradication of value so that communist driven economies could flourish in the open with no other options of acceptance available and the path to that behavior has been paved through the open attack of value through American civil liberties by organizations like NAMBLA.

Hunting RINOs In West Chester, Ohio: Why nobody should vote for Stoker or Wong

I nearly fell off my motorcycle traveling down RT 747 the other day laughing when I saw that West Chester trustee Cathy Stoker had the term “fiscal conservative” over her name on a campaign sign for reelection.  Then her partner in crime, Lee Wong had a sign very nearby that had the picture of an elephant on it displaying that Wong was a Republican.  They are the kind of Republicans that progressives dream of, Republicans like those portrayed in the HBO series shown below–Republicans that are really Democrats shaped by 100 years of European progressivism.  (Hint–its only a matter of time before Tea Party types get their own representation on shows like the HBO series.  Stay tuned to The Blaze on The Dish Network to see what is coming for tomorrow)  Those two politicians are extremely funny, misleading, and is the perfect definition of the term “RINO” (Republican in name only) which has emerged over the last couple of years to describe machine politic Republicans who have captured the party over the years and represent a progressive position that is quite to the left of the political center from the World War II generation.  Stoker is listed as a Democrat in past elections, but her campaign sign clearly attempts to avoid that association.  These RINO types like Stoker and Wong, are naturally trying to appeal to the strong Republican base which resides in West Chester, Ohio but they are far from traditional conservatives.

It wasn’t long ago that Senator Bill Coley at an event with John Kasich confided in me his frustration with the term RINO.  Coley attempted to attach pay to performance for teachers in Ohio, but the idea hasn’t taken leaving him to openly support school levies—which is why he was trying to convince me he wasn’t a RINO.  Deals and compromise are part of American politics, according to RINOs—which is how they ended up moved off from their original conservative positions.  Currently Ohio governor John Kasich is seeking a way to bypass the Ohio legislature so that he can expand Medicaid.  Kasich wants to use the poor through Obamacare as a vehicle to win votes for his 2016 run as president.  And West Chester congressman John Boehner is looking for anyway he can to cut a deal with President Obama and Harry Reid so he can resume his golf game without feeling guilty about the government shut-down.

Even though all the politicians mentioned are all Republican, they are not all conservatives, at least not when it counts.  Stoker and Wong support openly many of the United Nations Agenda 21 methods of micromanaging communities by global influence and expanding Medicaid is the support of Obamacare in an indirect fashion—which might as well be considered open communism of the medical industry.  Kasich stands for nothing if he’ll buy into that concept just to win an extra 2 to 3% of the vote over Democratic challengers.  If Boehner wants to cut a deal with Obama, he has already lost, as Obama has displayed a willingness to lie, cheat and steal in order to achieve his political aims, which are not good for the Republic of The United States.  These kinds of people are why Tea Party patriots have begun calling them RINOs, which that same establishment has declared war against, so to preserve their cancerous hold on the name of the Republican Party.  The RINOs are fighting for the right to use the Republican name to get elected into a government jobs with great pay, prestige, and social benefits.  They perform the task with the same looseness that the socialist leaning West Chester trustee Lee Wong uses an elephant on his campaign sign to pretend he’s an actual conservative.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON WONG AND STOKER.

The Republican establishment is vowing to strike back against the resurgence of conservatism as many of them know that if the party returns back to the right—where it belongs, they will be left out of the political loop, so they are fighting for their very lives, as reported by the Associated Press below.

The AP reported:

From county chairmen to national party luminaries, veteran Republicans across the country are accusing tea party lawmakers of staining the GOP with their refusal to bend in the budget impasse in Washington.

The Republican establishment also is signaling a willingness to strike back at the tea party in next fall’s elections.

“It’s time for someone to act like a grown-up in this process,” former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu argues, faulting Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and tea party Republicans in the House as much as President Barack Obama for taking an uncompromising stance.

Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is just as pointed, saying this about the tea party-fueled refusal to support spending measures that include money for Obama’s health care law: “It never had a chance.”

The anger emanating from Republicans like Sununu and Barbour comes just three years after the GOP embraced the insurgent political group and rode its wave of new energy to return to power in the House.

Good luck, GOP elitists.
Your whiny soft core conservatism may work out East but it won’t carry the Red States

I have been to events with Republicans where 200 to 300 very high-profile “conservatives” gathered in one place, and I can report that only about 7 to 10 people in the entire room actually felt any real conviction for conservative values.  The rest of the Republicans were in the party to “cut a deal,” socialize, or sleep with their friend’s wife over wine provided by business donors hoping for some sort of regulatory relief.  They were in the party for what they could get out of it, not for the philosophic basis of the name “Republican.”  Naturally I have been invited into these circles because of my “skills” but when it was noticed that I was to the right of right, they realized I was one of the RINO hunters, and not a RINO—and it scared them.  Upon those discoveries, they attempt to play the same game that Senator Ted Cruz currently has to endure—and I suspect that the outcome will not fare well for them either.

To call yourself a conservative then behave like a liberal simply makes a person a liar.  In this year of 2013 Stoker and Wong have two challengers to their seats, and both are true conservatives the way I would term it, one is Matt King and the other is Mark Welch.  I personally know both men, and they are what the Republican Party should be moving to—away from the domination of RINOs who are only in politics to secure contracts for their business interests. More about Mark and Matt can be seen below in a quote from the Journal News:

Mark Welch, of West Chester Twp., said he’s running for a trustee spot in order to make the township more business friendly. The owner of Bajon Salon & Spa for 13 years, Welch said his business has had to work around the township’s strict zoning regulations.

“I got keenly more aware of community issues and it solidified my desire to do something for the community,” Welch said, of becoming a small business owner after a 20-year career in sales.

Welch said during an election two years ago he had submitted his ticket and planned to campaign, but bowed out at the last-minute because he didn’t want to take votes away from the other Republican candidate.

“I told them, ‘Two years from now, I will be back,’ ” Welch said.

Welch has since been serving on the township’s zoning revision committee and is a member of the West Chester-Liberty Chamber Alliance. Welch said it was after he placed a feather flag sign outside his business to promote the location that the township’s sign ordinance required him to remove it.

“It’s hard enough to stay in business these days … business are trying to create jobs and pay taxes and the zoning is saying, ‘Don’t promote yourself,’ ” Welch said.

Also vying for a spot as West Chester Twp. trustee is Matthew King, a Procter & Gamble IT contractor who moved to the township in 1998. King said he’s been drawn to politics since his teens.

“When I was high school I just thought Ronald Reagan was the coolest president ever and sort of got interested then,” King said.

King said he hadn’t considered running for public office until getting more involved in the community over the years.

“I’ve been around the area long enough to remember when a lot of the towns around were really thriving and I just want to make sure West Chester stays some place like that and doesn’t decline,” King said. “I’m concerned that our current board is a little too content.”

While many people outside the political machine feel honored to be invited to the kind of events where they can actually get to know powerful politicians, it doesn’t impress me, so I have no problem revealing the kind of behavior that goes on.  I simply don’t like people who don’t have strong convictions about things, so I don’t like many politicians.  When I attend social events where they are I know their primary interest is in how much money they can get out of me, and little else, so I am not enamored by pomp and circumstance.  The whole infatuation with the drama of any political class is left over psychological garbage donated to the human race from our European descendants—and should be shed away like the skin of a snake in favor of a healthier philosophy.

Last weekend a dear friend and frequent reader here talked about their long career in fighting against these types of people—RINOs who pretend that they are all about reforming schools, standing for fiscal conservatism, and defending liberty in The United States.  It is often emotionally draining to discover all too late that most everyone they ever knew were hypocrites using conservative politics to advance their financial power through career changes, or business connections.  Most people who are true to their philosophy find themselves suffering some sort of emotional breakdown when they realize that their friends are not actually friends, but parasites feeding of the social system of politics.  This person and I talked about the RINOs of yesterday’s politics and the RINOs of today, many of them I’m currently entangled with.  When I was asked how I dealt with the betrayal, the let downs, and the lack of any conviction from the RINOs in my life, I simply stated that I read a lot of books, play video games, and consume myself with my multiple hobbies.  I don’t need them in my life for anything, so I am not at any kind of disadvantage if they decide they want to disassociate with me.   And if they want to move into physical, or intellectual combat, they can be crushed easily—so they are of no worry—and that’s how they must be viewed.

RINOs are defeated by standing on convictions.  It is not the task of the masses to move to the political left to fit the career aims of John Kasich.   It is not the job of the conservative base to let John Boehner off the hook so he can resume his golf game and “man tan” regiments by cutting a deal with a communist president.  And it is not the job of conservatives to give socialists like Stoker and Wong more years to use the economy of West Chester as a platform to prop up Lakota schools, Agenda 21 sidewalk construction, and taking federal money to blow on pet projects of social malpractice.   It is not the job of people who are truly conservative to change their view and names of things to suit the people who wish to profit off politics.  It is their job to hunt tricksters down like the RINOs they are, and to kick them out of office putting an end to machine politics.  It is more important to have representatives in government than just a Republican as governor, or as Speaker of the House who will allow themselves to be drug kicking and screaming to the left using Overton Window tactics so to preserve their thirty year aims of being “career politicians.”

No Lakota Levy: Understanding the tax killing strategy of Jeet Kune Do

Leadership contrary to 4000 years of military action is not defined by how dependent a force of any kind is upon a solitary commander, but how well that force functions without direct input.  Many years ago a rival attempted to place doubt about my beliefs on leadership with the simple question—“how do you know you are a great leader?”  My response was, “if an organization can function without my input, then I know I’ve been a good leader.”  This of course set off the rival into a downward spiral of anger that precipitated his immediate demise—and rivalry with me.  Little did he know that my thoughts on leadership were shaped by many years of studying Bruce Lee’s martial art concept Jeet Kun Do where the primary function of adaptability is to behave in martial combat like water—taking the shape of whatever the battlefield conditions present, and using that form to defeat the enemy maintaining continuous evolutions driven by circumstance.

With all that said, I am very proud of No Lakota Levy.  They have a wonderful presence in 2013 and as all the tax levy supporters around Lakota have come to see, especially once they read Today’s Pulse this week and see all the wonderful graphs that are coming out—the same ones seen here—they are a stronger group now than they have ever been.  Without question this will leave the pro levy factions of Lakota schools mystified, as they thought they had the strategy all figured out.  But where they failed is that they identified what they thought was the battlefield generals and attempted to remove them with traditional politics—but traditional politics were not the strategy being implemented—and their tactics have solidified the voting base against them, not weakened it.

This begs the question that I’m sure Lakota is asking after seeing the signs beginning to roll out, the advertising presence in the newspapers, and the endless supply of commentators who are available to answer questions to the media—and the new website that has just been professionally updated for this new campaign.  Who is No Lakota Levy?

No Lakota Levy is not one person that will show up on a donor list in the newspaper allowing political opponents to target them with extortion.  Most of the No Lakota Levy people are under the radar and wish to stay that way because they have to rub shoulders publically with many of the levy supporters—so they wish to keep their involvement quiet.  They support the foundation of No Lakota Levy in other ways that are not traditional, to save themselves of the grief that levy supporters aim to inflict against them for not voting for higher taxes.

The design of No Lakota Levy was built on the strategy of Jeet Kune Do.  I don’t mind revealing this because I hope that both sides of political engagement will learn something from it.  For the school levy fighters out there who have allowed themselves to be picked to pieces by the statist controls of the labor movement, I hope that Jeet Kune Do will allow them to learn how to defeat their enemies.  Because if they do, they will save me a lot of time, and effort.  The number one failure that levy fighters fall victim to is that they allow the levy fight to become all about them—as they fall in love with the attention they get when being on the front line.  If they learn the ways of Jeet Kune Do, they will learn how to become like water, and defeat their enemies without actually fighting.  Bruce Lee built his philosophy based on Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and this is the pinnacle concept explored in that marvelous book on strategy.  For my enemies, I don’t mind letting them know something of my strategy because if they study Jeet Kune Do, they have a chance at becoming better people, and then—and only then—they may cease being my enemies.Lakota Page 2

Jeet Kune Do (also “Jeet Kun Do“, or simply “JKD“) is an eclectic/hybrid style of no style and philosophy of life founded by martial artist Bruce Lee[2] with direct, non-classical, and straightforward movements. Due to the way his style works, Jeet Kune Do practitioners believe in minimal movement with maximum effect and extreme speed. The system works on the use of different ‘tools’ for different situations. These situations are broken down into ranges (kicking, punching, trapping and grappling), with techniques flowing smoothly between them. It is referred to as a “style without style” or “the art of fighting without fighting” as said by Lee himself. Unlike more traditional martial arts, Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned, and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts. It was named for the concept of interception, or attacking your opponent while he is about to attack. However, the name Jeet Kune Do was often said by Lee to be just a name. He himself often referred to it as “The art of expressing the human body” in his writings and in interviews. Through his studies Lee came to believe that styles had become too rigid, and unrealistic. He called martial art competitions of the day “Dry land swimming”. He believed that combat was spontaneous, and that a martial artist cannot predict it, only react to it, and that a good martial artist should “Be like water” and move fluidly without hesitation.Lakota 3

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

I learned about Jeet Kune Do though my studies of mythology and philosophy of the East.  Although I do not agree with the collective tendencies of the East, I do admire their work ethic, and ability to deal with catastrophe.  Shinto Buddhism is particularly effective as a religious and personal philosophy for overcoming personal travesties.  Out of all modern martial artists, Bruce Lee was one of the most spectacular.  I studied him in developing my own techniques to be used with the use of the bullwhip.

Martial art weapons such as nunchukas, knives and swords are traditional with Eastern study, but for my interest firmly placed in the West, it is the bullwhip, which is far superior to all Eastern weapons that placed me at the door of Jeet Kune Do.  As all martial art masters understand, it is best to win fights before the other side even knows there is a conflict—and the mastery of such methods requires an ability to understand how to project targets before anybody else is aware of them.  The key to Jeet Kune Do is winning the fight before the other side knows that there was an attack.  Practicing with bullwhips has trained my mind to see targets and project their trajectories physically, and metaphorically.

Unlike the Saul Alinsky methods used by the levy radicals of big government which uses mobster tactics of mass, and fear to invoke change, Jeet Kune Do is a method of martial art that leaves Saul Alingsky’s radicalism defenseless.  With No Lakota Levy it is not Rich Hoffman that carries the movement; it is not Mark Sennet, or a group of business developers who don’t want to pay higher taxes.  No Lakota Levy strategically has been set up on the premise of Jeet Kune Do as opposed to Saul Alinsky, which guides the Pro Levy Movement.  No Lakota Levy still exists even after pro levy supporters attempted to use traditional methods to destroy the leadership base.  No Lakota Levy still exists even after a two-year cease-fire where pro levy supporters hoped that time would curb tensions and nurse the community back to sleep. No Lakota Levy is the actual spirit of the Lakota community that remembers the area when it was founded on post Revolutionary War sentiment, and was settled by rugged individualist, farmers, and hell-raisers who do not care for the recent progressive oriented New Englanders who migrated here to work at large businesses sent by transfers from the coasts.  No Lakota Levy is as old and mature as the ghosts of ScreamingBridge, reminding the entire community of the principles that founded the area and it will rise up in any form to defend itself from statist scum bags and communist trained minds shaped by Cold War politics.

I am proud to see No Lakota Levy rise formless and deeply supported with a structure that resembles Jeet Kune Do’s martial style.  It is like water that fills whatever glass that is there to hold it.  It does not need top down leadership because it is the actual spirit of Liberty Township and West Chester which drives it—and it will be around long after Lakota, county commissioners, trustees, presidents, or congressmen have come and gone many times over.  No Lakota Levy will still exist in a formless void to attack ghostlike any threat to the freedom of the community which decides to present itself.  The people who support No Lakota Levy know and understand that.  CLICK HERE FOR AN EXAMPLE.

 

 

Victory is won before the fight ever happens most of the time.  And this victory is already won.  All people need to do now is show up and fight by casting their ballot on Election Day and the rest will take care of itself.  Formlessness is the key to victory, and the way to destroy the methods of Saul Alinsky and his levy whores of statism.  No Lakota Levy will continue to be a force as a rotation of many different names will circulate through it to keep it fluid and effective depending on the strategic needs of the martial action.  Without getting too formal on my current and future plans it should be noted that The Blaze as a news source has nearly 19 million unique visitors and is utilizing a strategy very similar to Jeet Kune Do.  Glenn Beck has been the power behind that growth, yet over time many more voices have stepped in to carry The Blaze to levels of social and political influence that will pave the way for all news in the world of tomorrow.  The reason that is significant is because I’m friends with one of those voices, and we have plans that involve a great deal of Jeet Kune Do.  Nobody will be able to stop it because it will hit with the force of a tsunami that starts deep in the ocean and isn’t detected until it hits a land mass.  Meanwhile, No Lakota Levy will still be there to protect the Lakota residents from the ominous tentacles of government employees who wish to crush property ownership and destroy the minds of all its children.  To know that, it is needed to understand Jeet Kune Do and the power of being “fluid” like water.  And I do not concern myself with worry revealing to my enemies my strategy………….because they have already lost…………so it’s already too late. The metaphorical tsunami is coming…………and they won’t vote in favor of school levies.

The Ghost of Bentham: Needs of the many do not outweigh the few

Bill O’Reilly history will remember as one of the most influential people of the 21st Century.  His news show on Fox is an unmitigated success attracting millions of viewers every night Monday through Friday, but that is not the most beneficial aspect of O’Reilly.  O’Reilly will go down in history as one of the most prolific authors of all time as his Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, and now Killing Jesus will sell more books than any handful of top 20 New York Times authors.  His lasting memory will be in his literary legacy, not his television show.  O’Reilly is a “down the middle” kind of guy, and represents well the kind of mind that assisted in voting favorably many of the modern troubles plaguing our nation, such as debt management, welfare support, and public education statism.  That is why it was so remarkable that O’Reilly in the wake of the many debates on Obamacare finally asked the very important question on his show, “does the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”

The answer of course is that it doesn’t, no mob of collective rule has the right over individual citizens.  The needs of the many do not outweigh the needs of the few, and that premise destroys the basic premise of democracy—which causes considerable problems.  This is why O’Reilly finally asked the unsaid question on his show.

Any needs that the many may have over the few which is articulated with such questions are driven straight out of communist text.  It was philosophers like Jeremy Bentham who helped inspire Karl Marx to write The Communist Manifesto which would bring to the world the idea of communism directly attacking capitalism as an economic concept.  Jeremy Bentham (/ˈbɛnθəm/; 15 February 1748 OS – 6 June 1832) was a British philosopher, jurist, and social reformer. He is regarded as the founder of modern utilitarianism.

Bentham became a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law, and a political radical whose ideas influenced the development of welfarism. He advocated individual and economic freedom, the separation of church and state, freedom of expression, equal rights for women, the right to divorce, and the decriminalizing of homosexual acts.[1] He called for the abolition of slavery, the abolition of the death penalty, and the abolition of physical punishment, including that of children.[2] He has also become known in recent years as an early advocate of animal rights.[3] Though strongly in favour of the extension of individual legal rights, he opposed the idea of natural law and natural rights, calling them “nonsense upon stilts”.[4]

Bentham’s students included his secretary and collaborator James Mill, the latter’s son, John Stuart Mill, the legal philosopher John Austin, as well as Robert Owen, one of the founders of utopian socialism. Bentham has been described as the “spiritual founder” of University College London, though he played little direct part in its foundation.[5]

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

Karl Marx’s criticisms of Bentham[edit]

Karl Marx, in Das Kapital, writes:[104]

“ Not even excepting our philosopher, Christian Wolff, in no time and in no country has the most homespun commonplace ever strutted about in so self-satisfied a way. The principle of utility was no discovery of Bentham. He simply reproduced in his dull way what Helvétius and other Frenchmen had said with esprit in the 18th century. To know what is useful for a dog, one must study dog-nature. This nature itself is not to be deduced from the principle of utility. Applying this to man, he who would criticise all human acts, movements, relations, etc., by the principle of utility, must first deal with human nature in general, and then with human nature as modified in each historical epoch. Bentham makes short work of it. With the driest naiveté he takes the modern shopkeeper, especially the English shopkeeper, as the normal man. Whatever is useful to this queer normal man, and to his world, is absolutely useful. This yard-measure, then, he applies to past, present, and future. The Christian religion, e.g., is “useful,” “because it forbids in the name of religion the same faults that the penal code condemns in the name of the law.” Artistic criticism is “harmful,” because it disturbs worthy people in their enjoyment of Martin Tupper, etc. With such rubbish has the brave fellow, with his motto, “nulla dies sine linea”, piled up mountains of books.

”

Marx’s accusation is twofold. In the first place, he says that the theory of utility is true by definition and thus does not really add anything meaningful. For Marx, a productive inquiry had to investigate what sorts of things are good for people—that is, what our nature, alienated under capitalism, really is. Second, he says that Bentham fails to take account of the changing character of people, and hence the changing character of what is good for them. This criticism is especially important for Marx, because he believed that all important statements were contingent upon particular historical conditions.

Marx argues that human nature is dynamic, so the concept of a single utility for all humans is one-dimensional and not useful. When he decries Bentham’s application of the ‘yard measure’ of now to ‘the past, present and future’, he decries the implication that society, and people, have always been, and will always be, as they are now; that is, he criticizes essentialism. As he sees it, this implication is conservatively used to reinforce institutions he regarded as reactionary. Just because in this moment religion has some positive consequences, says Marx, doesn’t mean that viewed historically it isn’t a regressive institution that should be abolished.

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

Bentham was creating the foundations of utopian socialism at a time when America was fighting for its independence from the same imperial forces that created the left leaning philosopher.  Today, because of Star Trek using the character of Spock to utter the sensibilities of Bentham the entire world has come to believe that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, which is a communist foundation concept.  While Marx was critical of the looseness of Bentham’s definitions, he used the direction to shape his own philosophy of Marxism.

It is to support this foundation of collectivism that public education institutions have been targeted as factories of making students ignorant instead of brilliant, because the goal is to train the masses to be unchallenging servants to the political rulers of the current age.  By “dumbing down” the masses through the education process, modern statists do not have to concern themselves with being smarter than their potential rivals for power, and seek to keep the masses at their back with stupidity—which is the ultimate failure of Bentham’s philosophic premise.  The needs of the many simply become a mob of ignorant souls under any political system—and nothing good comes of it in the long run.  Man-kind simply regresses.

So the answer to Bill’s question is that, YES, it is morally wrong to enforce the needs of the many at the expense of the few—because often it is the few, the exceptional, and the driven that create everything that the many enjoy.  When the few are penalized, tortured, and ran into the ground—sacrificed like offerings to the Mayan gods of the Yucatan Peninsula, then society will crumble completely and the needs of the many will grow as there will be nobody to provide substance to them—since they pillaged all value from society with their unchecked demands.

Public Schools That Cheat To Pass Levies: Nothing is against the law when children are used for extortion

If anybody ever wanted proof that public schools are quite blatant in their willingness to break the law to pass school levies, just examine the latest article done by the Cincinnati Enquirer who did a good bit of reporting off a public record request.  They discovered that 49 of Southwest Ohio’s public school systems, nine use payroll deductions to raise campaign money which is illegal.  The guilty schools are Kings, Mason, Fairfield, Middletown, Loveland, Madeira, Mariemont, Reading and West Clermont.  Read some of the selected details of that article below or check the full story at the link.

The districts collect the employees’ voluntary contributions and forward the money to private campaign organizations.

It’s an illegal use of resources and personnel of publicly funded schools, asserts Christopher Finney, attorney and founding member of the Hamilton County-based Citizens Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST).

Finney cites Ohio Revised Code 3315.07, which states in part “no board of education shall use public funds to support or oppose the passage of a school levy or bond issue or to compensate any school district employee for time spent on any activity intended to influence the outcome of a school levy or bond issue.”

Finney says the practice is surprisingly blatant.

“It’s outrageous because typically the abuse of tax dollars to advance the cause of bigger government is usually more subtle,” he said.

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20131007/NEWS0102/310070021?gcheck=1&nclick_check=1

Other schools such as Lebanon and Lakota are not on the list, but are very careful about what they do because both those communities have activists reporting the many indiscretions committed by the public institutions.  They watch closely what they get caught doing.  Their crimes are harder to discover by reporters on their lunch time investigations.  If activist elements were not present, Lakota and Lebanon would easily join the above list.

The importance of this information is the display of the willingness public schools exhibit to break the law to protect their extortive tax increase practices.  They know that a public records request will reveal their actions, yet they do it anyway—and they don’t care if they are caught.  Their disregard of the law is malicious and they do it because they are a monopoly operation, and know that their customers have nowhere else to go but to their door step.

Of course this leads to the next question—what do these same schools participate in that they wish to hide?  To what extent are they willing to protect their actions, and reputations for the things that would truly get them into trouble?  And how often does it occur?  Readers here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom have seen parades of foul information regarding public school behavior for over three years.  We have covered sex scandals, bullying cover-ups, corrosive labor practices, financial rackets, and many other destructive activities that are being taught to the next generation of children in the terribly deficient public schools run by government monopolies, and what they all have in common is the inbred deformity of mentality driven by a lack of competition.

Public schools do not worry about breaking the law because they are their own judge, jury, and executioners.  They own the legal process, they are deeply embedded in the political system through the financial contributions of their labor unions, and they know that if they get into trouble locally, that their nationwide network of union thugs will come to their rescue with mass mobs of burning pitchfork radicals demanding all to turn away from the crimes committed.  These parasites use society’s children to hide their crimes with open extortion and are the biggest menace to society in our modern age—and they get away with it because nobody stands up to them.

The law discussed above gets broken because nobody has the guts to hold them to it.  There are of course a few “fringe” people who do, people like me and the friends who contribute openly to these pages, but most just keep their opinions to themselves afraid that the thugs will show up in the middle of the night and vandalize their cars and home.  They fear the same radicals protesting their places of business and making an embarrassment out of their lives as every skeleton in their closet is exposed by the levy radicals attacking ruthlessly all who dare question their practices.  Most people want nothing to do with such radicalism, so they stay silent, and allow the illegal activities that use their children as extortion tokens for peace as they sit in front of the television and watch fictional characters stand for something—while they stand for nothing.

No wonder young people are so angry, and lack so much respect for their parents.

The Patriotism of Saying NO: Avoiding the harm of corrosive, begging, levy supporters

The most ridiculous rhetoric that comes out of school levy proposals is that somehow it is considered a “patriotic duty” to vote mindlessly for tax increases.  Anyone who thinks this way needs to have their head examined.  I’m sure the Letter to the Editor writer from the Sunday October 6, 2013 edition of Today’s Pulse newspaper had good intentions when they suggested in the commentary below that over a 30 year span of time it is the community’s duty to continue voting yes on school levies because “it is what we do.”  The meaning is that a tax increase is an “investment” into the community and the reason is simply—because it just is.  The letter writer makes no attempt to understand why, she simply makes the assumption that it’s always been that way and it will always continue.  Read the letter for yourself.

Support levy, support community

 

As a Lakota graduate and an empty-nester parent of three Lakota graduate, I look at our community and see a wonderful place to raise and educate our children.  When I was in school in the 1970s, many senior citizens and empty-nesters supported the levies and my education.  It is what we do when we are invested in our community. 

Not all of us make use of our police, fire or park services, which are available to everyone, yet we support them financially because that is what you do in the community where you live.  Please don’t lose sight of the fact that even if you don’t have children currently in our district, our local schools are one of the best investments our community has.

Please take the time to research the upcoming school levy and you will see that Lakota continues to be a good steward of our tax dollars.   They have made severe cuts and have not had any new revenue since 2005.  Don’t you think as a member of this community; it is time to support our schools and our children?  Vote “yes” for the Lakota levy.

Of course I disagreed with that levy supporter, and responded with the following letter.  School levy supporters are one of the most corrosive aspects of existence.  They are similar to rust on a car.  If left untended, they just continue to grow and eat away everything of any real structure.  Their belief system is not only flawed, but is dangerously ignorant.  I have learned that saying NO to school levies is not only healthy for a community, but is the best way to rid communities of the corrosive nature of levy supporters who are parasites on everything that is economically viable.

The Patriotism of Saying No

The best reason pro levy supporters can come up with as to why Lakota needs a tax increase is because it is the patriotic duty of a community to throw money away on a glorified babysitting service.  Never do such people consider the cost to a community of passing tax increases.   Pro tax people are like panhandlers who camp out on the way to sporting events and make you feel guilty for not throwing a few bucks at them knowing full well that you’ll need the money for beer and hot dogs once inside.  The guilt comes in thinking that you don’t deserve beer and hot dogs while the beggar is struggling outside.  The question never gets asked why the beggar is begging instead of doing something else—because guilt avoids the question.

The question at Lakota is why they are begging for money they don’t need.  Why with declining enrollment do they wish a long-term tax increase on a thriving community?  Why is it a duty to recklessly throw money at a school because someone is an alumnus under different conditions 30 years ago?  And why do the employees at Lakota expect to make over 60K per year on average when the average tax payer makes much less? 

Pro-levy people expect voters to not ask those questions, but simply vote in favor of tax increases based on speculative community patriotism that has no grounding in reality.  They simply want money thrown into their begging dish to avoid the hard job of contract negotiations with a union that is up in 2014.  And to avoid those hard decisions, Lakota wants to impose a damaging tax increase that will last for many, many years, drive away businesses and crush people barely hanging on. 

So much for community patriotism.

When pro levy supporters makes stupid statements such as—a community should vote in favor of a tax increase because they are investing in a community they are advocating the destruction of communities.  There are no communities that have survived for 40 to 50 years that increased taxes on themselves every 5 years and maintained the wealth and economic viability of their community.  In the same way, a car that is left to rust untreated will slowly erode away into garbage.  A community that blindly raises taxes on itself to sustain armies of government worker monopolies will also destroy itself.  So the best way to save a community is to keep the public schools from destroying it with selfishly high taxes driven by corrosive labor unions.

Saying NO is management of a community’s resources.  Saying Yes is simply caving into the radical, half-baked claims of voters with a shallow knowledge of history, and a distorted concept of economics.  They should not be allowed to destroy communities unchecked, and saying NO is the best defense against them.  There is no evidence anywhere that higher taxes lead to a prosperous community, and there is even less evidence that the same Yes votes cast in 1970 have the same value as Yes votes in 2013—the assumption is that the cost of per pupil education have gone up tremendously since then yet children are performing worse scholastically.  Only a complete idiot would continue to do something just because they made the same stupid mistake in the 70s, 80s, and 90s……….”because it is what we do,” “we” being a community.  To do such a thing is a receipt for social decline and a future ghetto swapping out residents of productive output with more parasites of government mooching that will replace the hard-working home owner with a government subsidized crack dealer.  The path to community decline is in voting Yes for school levies, not the other way around—and is the misleading utterance of the entire parasitic school levy supporter.  They all share the tendency to ignore the facts in favor of “feel good” assumptions that have no basis in reality except in their own imaginations driven by mid-life anxieties and guilt over their skills as parents.  The way to protect a community is to reject those types with NO votes and get them out of our community—because leaving them alone will lead to a destruction of everything we cherish.
