Ignorance of the Marxist Obama: Follies of a school teacher gone mad

One of the most disturbing comments made by President Obama after Justice Roberts tipped the Supreme Court scales in favor of upholding the tyrannical Obamacare law as Constitutional was a reference to the greedy CEO’s of insurance companies who collect huge bonus checks. (It’s at the 1:40 mark on the video below)  Upon hearing this it reminded me of the heart of Obama’s problems. It displays why the President is having a hard time raising money these days, because he is essentially against the wealthy in America. The people who do give him money are those who work in fields that have little appreciation for money, such as actors and philanthropists who have lost touch with reality. The President even though he denies it, is a functioning socialists going as far as an extreme Marxist. No advocate of capitalism—the blood of the American economy—would say the kinds of things he does about the wealthy if they in fact embraced capitalism. Obama does not. He’s anti capitalism, which is defined by the stupid statements he has made about the wealthy.

Obama’s hatred for those who create wealth explains why he does not understand why his health care law is bad for the American economy. Since I know Obama’s people read my site regularly, let me help him understand why he is such a menace to American business, and why he is suffering economic failure during his term.

Obamacare targets businesses that have 50 employees or more, and requires them to cover insurance costs or pay a penalty enforceable by the IRS. This means all small companies like department stores such as Walmart, Costco, Target, Kohls, Home Depot and thousands of others will now be required to provide insurance to their employees. Of course the employees will think that’s a wonderful thing, because employees who are making minimum wage or just a little better will now have good insurance that is very affordable. The cost of that insurance is coming directly from the ownership of these businesses. The employee cost for these employers will dramatically increase as a result of Obamacare. Obama’s answer to the CEO’s of those companies is that those owners should not receive million dollar bonus checks for running a good business because in Obama’s eyes, the CEO has an obligation to pay those bonus checks to their employees. That is a philosophy right out of Karl Marx—and is essentially Marxism. The belief that the wealthy have an obligation to the employee is Marxism. This move will force companies to keep their employee hires under 50 employees to avoid Obamacare. They will now get rid of cashiers and use self check out, and utilize every method of minimal staffing to keep the amount of employees under 50 so they don’t have to live with the mandates of Obamacare.

But the real impact of Obamacare will come to the middle-sized manufacturing business with sales of 10 to 100 million per year. Typically these companies have employees of 75 to 1000 and often pay just a bit better than department stores like Walmart so the one great benefit they have to offer to their employees to entice them to work for their company is health insurance. In many of these companies I would predict 25% of the employees work for these types of manufacturing companies as opposed to Walmart because the manufacturing company offers insurance where the others do not. That is free market selection and it’s natural. Walmart has determined that they are happy to have workers who just want to make extra money, and are not looking for health insurance options. And the medium-sized manufacturing company is looking for the kind of workers who want more out of their employment than just money. Employees in the medium-sized company also want security.

Many of these medium-sized companies are headed by owners who spent 20 to 30 years building up their businesses. I personally know many of these people so I know what is on their minds. They offer a slightly better wage than Walmart but cover insurance costs so they can have a secure employee base to manufacture the goods they’ve spent a lifetime developing with customers and suppliers to fulfill a market need. The company owner has done the work of taking a risk in developing a new idea or product, and they hire a work force to deliver those products to the marketplace.

Often, because the workforce has been trained in public education by Marxist teachers like President Obama they may look with jealousy at the owner of these companies and dare proclaim that the owner and his top management employees should not drive exotic cars—they should not own condos in Florida, Hilton Head, or Hawaii, and they do not deserve to go out to eat at nice restaurants everyday, or have the ability to take the afternoon off to play golf. The employees typically believe they are entitled to some of that wealth of the owner because they equally share in the business.

Well, the employees do not share equally in the business. At the end of the day, the typical employee goes home and thinks nothing of their jobs till the next day. The difference between the worker and the owner is the owner takes the risk, and that risk in America is rewarded with riches. That’s capitalism, and it makes the entire economy work. The owner and his top-level managers take their work with them everywhere they go. They answer the phone at 2:30 AM from an overseas call when a supplier fails them. They worry when FedEx leaves their “hot” package on a dock in Mississippi when it should have arrived in Louisville 5 hours ago. When there are a lot of employees in a company at least 5 to 10 times a year there are lawsuits from former employees, workman’s comp claims that are bogus, FMLA restrictions that are abused and other legal issues that the employer must contend with just to stay in business. On top of that, there are federal compliance inspections, state compliance inspections, and local arm twisting that goes on requiring money to be thrown at the problems to make the trolls go away.

The life of the business owner at best is difficult, and they deserve to drive the nice car, they deserve to have a summer home in Florida, and they deserve to eat well—because they took the risks and shouldered the burden of creating a job so the employees have somewhere to work. Without the owner doing these things, there is no job. If the owner decides that it’s not worth it, they will toss in the towel and close shop putting hundreds of people out of work. I’ve seen it happen many more times than once personally. I’ve seen it happen so bad that I do not blame such people when they decide it would be easier to just work a job like everyone else rather than deal with a new legal issue every month, and all the other pains of business only to be told that no matter how much the owner has given—it’s never enough.

The business owner up to the legalization of Obamacare offered their employees insurance out of the kindness of their heart. They offered it as an incentive so they can get a higher quality of employee. Now, Obamacare has taken that act of kindness and personal initiative away from the owner. Now the owner is required to provide the same thing without their choice. It’s now a requirement, not a choice. Obama sees this as “social justice.” Because he’s a Marxist Obama wishes to empower the workers of the world to take away from the economic elite so everyone is equal. Obama foolishly believes that health insurance providers and business owners will continue to shoulder the burdens of doing business with all the barriers that currently exist if there is no profit in the end for them to enjoy. Obama through Obamacare is taking away the fruits of the ambitious—the people who wish to have a better than average life—and is giving to the 14 million who do not. Obama wishes to make the average worker equal to the business owner so everyone can have a summer home, and everyone can drive a luxury car, and everyone can be equal in the world. But Obama’s ideas are naïve, ill-conceived, and are a parasite to capitalism.

The wealth of a nation will depend on the amount of capitalism a country participates in. Obamacare infects 1/5 of the entire American economy with open Marxism. Combined with the socialism of Social Security, and the Medicare acts from the 60’s, the scales of capitalism will not survive. Obamacare is an attack on business owners who take the chance to create a business. Business owners already have public schools digging into their pockets, local politicians on city councils, county trustees all who wish to increase taxes to usher in a project to legitimize their personal political legacies. State and federal regulations are imposing. The legal system is parasitic and the only incentive that a business owner has is “profit” to continue with the headaches involved in operating a business every day. Obamacare takes away that profit, which is the only thing that motivates many of these people and that does not make them evil—not in the least. Obamacare is the ultimate “leveling” of the playing field in favor of the workers—which is Marxist rhetoric created by a poor despot that has ruined Europe by the name of Karl Marx.

Obamacare and progressivism must be eradicated from the American language. It’s no longer cute or even funny to just simply make fun of how stupid Barack Obama and his legions of looting politicians are, because they are attacking a way of life that has been the best in the world—even for the poor. It’s time to call a spade a spade, and a joker a joker. Obamacare is an attack on the way of life for every American in a hope to delude America to the will of the weakest links—and it’s appealing. Obamacare must be repealed—repealed—repealed! Then it must be stepped on—spit on—and torn to shreds! Then it should be flushed down the toilet where all the worst of human waste goes to join its brothers and sisters in the sewers of our civilization with items of like-mindedness. Because it’s time to take the gloves off and fight with bare knuckles and defend those who create from those who simply loot, rob and steal. That is the essence of Obamacare, and now the highest court in the land has made theft an act of collective salvation—and that’s where the line was crossed.

It’s time to call the lazy—lazy. It’s time to call out the looter—as a looter. It’s time to ridicule the social parasite for what they are. It’s time to stop tap dancing around the sensitivity that progressives use to destroy our society with kindness. It’s time to identify the values of what makes America great and expose what doesn’t, and from now on, this site will be dedicated to that task as if it wasn’t already. For now on, the greatness of America will have a voice—and I will make sure I do my part in giving it to those who haven’t had it up to this point. Obamacare has infuriated me to a level I have not recollected feeling. It is in essence an attack on my country, my way of life, and every person I care about—and I don’t take that lightly.

ObamaCare Tyranny: The Supreme Court Lets America Down and PUNTS

Speaker Boehner instructed the Republican Party members not to spike the ball at the Supreme Court ruling on Obama Care. But it wasn’t the Republicans who had the ball; it’s was the looters of the Democratic Party starting with Obama given to them by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the individual mandate for that tyrannical legislation under the ability of congress to tax American citizens, so the ball is now in the court of congress where it should be repealed.

The ruling by the Supreme Court shows just how dangerous it is to allow members of congress to act as activists as they did under the congress of Nancy Pelosi, to the marching orders of Barack Obama. Because the Supreme Court passed the responsibility to congress they have essentially stated that the people of our nation have a responsibility to vote in favor of the law or to strike it down, and that must come from the upcoming election in 2012.

Right now the Republicans could repeal the entire law, but the Senate which is still controlled by power grabbing progressive Democrats will not allow the repeal to go through. So that means that the type of politicians, typically Republicans, who will vote Obama Care down must gain a majority in the House and Senate in the elections of 2012 otherwise Obama Care will impact our society in a major way by the year 2014. The Supreme Court ruling of June 28, 2012 puts the responsibility completely on the quality of the American people to decide what kind of government they want.

Progressives of course desire an America that is made up of stupid, half-witted, lazy, drooling mouthed Neanderthals who will mindlessly bobble head yes to anything the power grabbing reformers of our Constitution like President Obama wish to impose. This is why no matter what the President does, almost half of the American people will say yes because they are lazy, welfare yielding sloths that seek to live their lives at the expense of the economic activity of others. Half the nation has been bred in the American public education system to be mindless drones sitting in the nest of mother government waiting for a worm to be fed into their mouths. The other half still rebels against that imposing mother and those are the ones who are outraged at this Supreme Court ruling that will have lasting consequences.

This is the danger of electing lawyers as President. This is also the danger of electing Constitutional teachers who are Marxist activists who bend the rules of the Constitution to fit their radical agenda. The Supreme Court elected not to have an opinion on the wisdom of such a law as they stated that it is Congress, the body of government that is supposed to directly represent the people of the United States who have the responsibility to either keep or repeal Obama Care.

It is a very dangerous slope that we are currently on, because under the law, lawyers have demonstrated that they can manipulate any line of dialogue in a law to mean anything they wish it to. By upholding the individual mandate the Supreme Court has empowered generations of power grabbing presidents yet to appear to attempt the same type of activism that Obama and his cronies endeavored to pass ObamaCare through strong-arm tactics and massive public manipulation. The Supreme Court has just allowed my unborn grandson to become a victim before he’s even born. He must buy government health insurance just because he lives. The moment my daughter delivers him into the world, he will become obligated upon adulthood to buy healthcare by mandate of a tyrannical president, and a progressive congress of thieves who desire to steal from him so that those who do not have the ambition to care for themselves can have health care.

Obama and his minions are simply drug pushers who seek the weak and downtrodden to buy into their addictive services of government servitude, and under ObamaCare they have now been given a free pass by the Supreme Court to force the strong and productive to care for those who lack ambition. Obama and his aggressive activists have crossed the line. The Supreme Court was our last defense on the rule of law, and they chose to pass—which is fine. They put the burden on the people to pass or fail ObamaCare based on the elections of 2012.

If Americans want ObamaCare, then vote for a hippie tree hugging, boot licking, globalist Democrat. If you want ObamaCare repealed vote for anyone with a party affiliation of Republican. Government will continue to grow if people continue to feed it, and by voting for politicians like the looter Obama. Politicians who get elected by promising to give away free stuff will be more of a threat in the future than they ever have now that the “individual mandate” has been upheld by the Supreme Court. Their lack of decision means that the quality of our politicians must go up dramatically. America cannot allow congress to be filled with the kind of looters that it has traditionally. CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF CONGRESSMEN ARE CURRENTLY IN GOVERNMENT. It is truly frightening that the Supreme Court has put the fate of our nation in the hands of those people. But that is the situation and we must deal with it as a nation.

I had less faith in the nation and the legal system at the end of the day than I did at the beginning. I think the system is irrevocably broken and is driven by the worst kind of people in the human race—the politician. My opinion mirrors Justice Kennedy. It was Justice Roberts who was appointed by President Bush, which made the deciding ruling. Bush was a progressive just as Obama is now. Now America can see how dangerous it is to allow activist presidents like Obama and Bush to place into the Supreme Court weak willed legal annalists. It was Roberts who should have been the vote that repealed ObamaCare, and that did not happen. Now we have a tragedy of epic proportions and the American people will have to clean it up.

The first step to improving our government will be on the Fast and Furious Contempt vote that extends into the Congress over Eric Holder. With the evidence being so overwhelming that the Obama gang is the modern version of Al Capone’s Chicago only without the open murders, Congress can begin by showing they have a backbone by sending some people to jail for their open crimes against American society. If the people do not support Congress in these actions, then the game is already over. At that point it would indicate that there are too many Obama addicts with their hands out, and the democratic process of our republic no longer functions, and new measures will have to be enacted. The Supreme Court declared today that they cannot rescue America through legislation. Only the American people can by starting at the voting booth. And if that doesn’t work, then more severe measures will be required. Because I will not personally leave a society to my grand kids that requires them to pay others just for the act of breathing—that will not happen on my watch.

As to health care, to learn more about how the entire industry is changing, CLICK HERE. ObamaCare will stop this progress. The free market will speed it up. And the success or failure of that progress will determine directly whether you live or die. That is what’s at stake.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Joe Biden Bails on Coming to Butler County, Ohio: Buying votes with the promise of easy jobs

The number one problem with politics was displayed vividly for all to see when it was learned that Vice President Joe Biden planned to visit Hamilton, Ohio on Monday June 25th to rally his base of public sector workers, firemen, police, and teachers by reminding them of their accomplishment a year ago to remove the law that would have reformed collective bargaining in Ohio. When the media announced the VP visit every single article proudly framed the story as though the people of Butler County were privileged that a member of the royal elite were actually going to pay attention to “little ol’” Hamilton in the scheme of global politics. The political left is such a convoluted entity that they actually celebrate activity which prevents the management of tax money.

Yes, it’s true; if Biden had visited as planned to Hamilton he would have brought jobs with him. Think of all the police officers who would be on staff that to shut down the roads so the tax payers could not use them, to make way for Biden’s motorcade. Think of all the teachers and firefighters who would be paid to stand around Biden to pose for pictures and video cameras. At least the teachers would be off for the summer, because they only work 9 months out of the year, but the rest of the public workers whom Biden sought to pander would be assembled by our tax dollars to make way for a self-serving political speech on behalf of the Obama campaign. During Biden’s visit if I desired to go to the auto store to get a new oil filter for one of my cars, I wouldn’t be able to because the public employee cops would have shut down all the roads for another public employee in Biden to simply make a campaign stop that serves him and his boss all of which is completely paid for by the tax payer, including the transportation that brought Biden to Hamilton in the first place. I would say that my need to get to the auto store is far more important than the speech of just another public servant.

But too many people think of Washington as a faraway place where the “big people” do all the wheeling and dealing in America, and when one of them comes near our homes, we feel privileged to be so near those nameplate gods. Such hero-worship is terribly misplaced and all who relish such thoughts are delusional voters that are a menace to our republic. The reality of Biden’s visit is that he is playing Chicago style politics set by the Obama administration. I mentioned this weeks ago when Team Obama set up their office in Mason, Ohio. They are showing the country that they are going to attack the very heart of the Republican Party by campaigning in one of the most conservative areas in the entire world, Butler and Warren County, Ohio. They are going to attack the turf of John Boehner who lives within miles of where Biden would be speaking, to let John know they are going to hit him where he lives. And it’s well known all over the country what the situation at Lakota Schools is and progressive groups everywhere are seeking to protect their public sector utopian plans. These progressive groups are terrified of the type of reforms we are forcing here because if the dominos start falling in public education in Butler County, they will fall all over the nation. So Biden planned to remind the public workers of their small victory last year when they managed to gather enough signatures to repeal Issue 2, otherwise known as Senate Bill 5 ending John Kasich’s work as governor before it ever got started.

Biden like his boss Obama know that normal people are not dumb enough to continue to vote for them, so that is why they are pushing for more illegal immigration, and targeting minorities who are hungry for government checks—otherwise known as “Obama money.” The Obama camp knows that if they do not give people things, nobody will vote for their ridiculous political philosophy so they aim to always expand government by creating more government jobs. That is their idea of creating jobs, adding more teachers that will only raise our taxes, adding more firemen who will spend most of their days playing Medal of Honor at the firehouse on Xbox, or cops that sit on the side of the road giving out citations for seatbelt infractions and we pay those positions nearly six figure salaries to do such simple jobs.

Biden knows that nobody will listen to his message unless he pays them, which is what would be going on at his little speech. In Butler County there are 51,000 registered Republicans and only 13,000 registered Democrats. Without question many of those Democrats are public workers, which are why they will vote for Obama no matter what crimes are committed at The White House, because they want some of that “Obama Money.”

The problem with Senate Bill 5 was not that over a million public worker and their mommies signed the petition, it was that the Republic Party was split over the issue; otherwise the repeal would have never made it. In a state of over 11 million people it was only 2 million who voted for the repeal. Most of the Republicans stayed home because of the infighting that went on over whether or not “collective bargaining” was fair. It was internal dilemmas that won the repeal, not the effort of the public sector workers.

But in Butler County unlike the rest of Ohio there is no confusion. There are five major Tea Party groups within 20 miles of where Biden planned to speak, and there is a very strong 9/12 presence. Butler County has one of the strongest tax fighting groups in the country standing up to public education and of course, Speaker of the House John Boehner has his home in Butler County. Most of the people I know moved to this region because we don’t like high taxes, we don’t like government housing; we don’t like big government of any kind, so we certainly don’t have a desire to pander to excessive amounts of government workers like teachers, firefighters, and cops. We’re happy to pay for what we need, but we don’t want a lot of them, because they tend to vote for tree hugging hippie, gun grabbing Democrats, and that is not a welcome sight in Butler County.

I truly hope Obama plans to continue to use his resources on trying to show that he is not afraid to campaign in John Boehner’s hometown. Because I personally want to the opportunity to rob from Obama what he seeks to accomplish. There are a lot of “Joe the Plumbers” in Butler County who could catch fire nationally and cause severe problems for the Obama camp in his election bid if he chooses to continue this strategy, and that prospect has many of us who find Obama repulsive salivating for a chance to knock him down a few more pegs.

I was disappointed to read that Biden cancelled his visit. I already had a press release ready to send to media all the way to Columbus offering comments in defense of Senate Bill 5 and attacking the Biden visit. Just last night I made sure I had my contacts right at MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News so we could get on camera opposite Biden’s visit to dispute his comments. Because campaigning in Butler County for Obama and his minions will not be a taken lightly. Speaking for myself, I take the intention of the visit the way Obama intends it, as a shot at conservative America. I see it as talking smack on the basketball court and that kind of dialogue will be answered, be assured of that. And the answer will not be protests along the presidential motorcade that can easily be edited out of the media coverage. Rather counterpoint opinion will be offered on all the major networks and any ground gained by pandering to the public workers will be undone 20 times over by pointing out in the media what the real intent of the Obama camp is—to purchase votes at tax payer expense by creating more government jobs that will vote for embarrassments like Obama not because they agree with the Obama philosophy of socialism, but because they want some of that “Obama Money.”

Even though they cancelled this time, the Obama people are looking at Butler County with lust in their eyes because the radical Obama knows that within a year of today he will be cast out of office, and will be a has been that won’t be able to order a bell boy to carry his luggage. So he’s taking his shot at conservative America now while he can, and when he comes—we’ll be ready to make him regret it.

As to why Biden cancelled his trip—it would seem that the Obama people forgot that most of the public workers in Butler County were off for the summer, so there wouldn’t be anybody they could gather up on such short notice to stick in front of the cameras at Biden’s speech. But when school starts back in August, and all the government school teachers come back from their summer long vacations, look for team Obama to try several more times as their minions of looting public sector employees show up with their mouths open and their hands out looking for more “free” money freshly looted from the pockets of the tax payers.

The Evil in Greece: Trying to lead those who refuse to open their eyes

To those who wonder why I personally spend so much time writing about the evils of socialism and the general degradation of the human race the world over, I would like to direct your attention to the clip below. The video I have in mind is at the 4 minute mark, but the whole bit by Glenn Beck on his GBTV show sums up quite wonderfully what drives me.

I remember very well when Beck over a year ago on his Fox Television show predicted much of what is now going on in Greece and Egypt. Many in the industry wanted his head for his wild speculations about socialists and Nazis in Europe working their way into American politics. The clip above shows just how real the situation is.

It is not my fault that most people cannot add up the facts of what they see. Even worse, many people have a hard time even seeing the facts for their true worth. Glenn Beck obviously does not have this handicap which is a relief. I have never had it, and have spent much of my life spotting problems well before anyone else even thought there was a problem. Make no mistake, communism is here in America. It’s in our businesses, our schools, and our government. Socialism was brought to America by naive politicians after World War II as presidents like FDR experimented with socialism and over a long period of time people gradually accepted it. But the end game is what we can see in that video. That is what tomorrow brings if it is not stopped right now. It is to avoid that future shown in the above video that I put forth so much effort, because understanding it now will alleviate a lot of violence later. There is no denying that the world is fracturing even though most people chose not to see it. For those who do refuse, or are so tainted by ignorance that they cannot see, send this story to them so they can learn, and understand what the cost of compliance is. Refusing to act when decisions are required is the same as taking aggressive action in favor of turmoil when surrendering decisions lead to the perpetuation of tyranny among free people.

Emperor Obama’s Circle of Monarchs: Protecting the boss any way possible–just like the mob

The more that Emperor Obama’s circle of monarchs attempt to deflect away from their boss his involvement in the Fast and Furious case, the more foolish they sound. It is truly the act of cowards to even suggest that the entire investigation is a Republican “witch hunt” in an election year. It is even worse to suggest that the investigation of Eric Holder and Barack Obama is racially motivated since both public employees are black men. The issue is rather simple, Emperor Obama and his administration got caught manipulating a gun running operation that ended up costing American lives, and somebody must be held responsible. The gun running operation was started way back in 2006 under the Bush administration. But in 2009 a gun grabbing new President Obama in a quest for firearm reform laws under a Democratically controlled House and Senate escalated the operation to what is now known as Fast and Furious and it backfired. Obama only has himself to blame.

Congress has no choice but to act. To do the job they were elected to do, there will need to be people in the Obama administration that must go to jail and lose their jobs. The signs of a cover-up are obvious. We’ve been through this kind of thing with Watergate, and Nixon lost his job. We’ve been through this with Reagan over Iran Contra, and heads did fly. We’ve been through this with Clinton and his multiple scandals most notably Lewinsky Gate where he lied to prosecutors and attempted to delude the crime much the way Obama is, by legal justification over the dialogue used. All those presidents in spite of what good they may have done during their terms were severally injured in the context of history and Obama will certainly be remembered most for this epic debacle.

It is insulting to see Emperor Obama’s employees as defiant as they are, counting on the foolish and uneducated to rally to his defense with emotional pleas. The Obama administration got caught in doing what many have always suspected, committing crimes while in the White House and seeking to rewrite the Constitution through bench legislation and legal challenges to hide those crimes.

It is true that Emperor Obama has a right to invoke Executive Privilege. But he does not have a right to control the impression such a privilege has on a public who has been burnt by these abuses of power before. Nixon will always be known as a crook because of his use of Executive Privilege. Reagan will always be known as accident prone and a forgetful man because of his use of Executive Privilege. Clinton even to this day is thought of as Slick Willie because of his frequent use of Executive Privilege to hide his crimes from public eye, and now Obama joins the list.

Emperor Obama would not have invoked that right if he were innocent. If his hands were clean, he’d gladly show them to all, but invoking Executive Privilege has the same implication as taking the Fifth in a court of law. It may be a right to use, but taking it means guilt to those who hear it. What is being denied is the evidence to prove the guilt. But the impression is created in the act of hiding the evidence.

If there is evidence that our education system has produced too many lawyers all one has to do is look at this Fast and Furious case. All the reasons that our legal system is failing can be seen in the comments coming from The White House attacking Republicans for even investigating Holder. Like a typical lawyer who is defending their client in court over a crime that is obvious to everyone, the typical lawyer will twist the words of logic any way they can to defend the guilty. In Holder’s situation he lied to Congress openly, and that is very serious. Obama’s team attacks the investigators by saying in general terms, “He lied because the question should have never been asked—as determined by us.” The Obama defense has implied that the only reason there was an investigation over Fast and Furious was to bring down Emperor Obama which is simply disingenuous to any concept of the law which is typical of a group of lawyers who do not respect the law as much as their ability to manipulate it.

The ultimate sign of guilt is when a guilty party attempts to hide their crimes behind a skin color, and that is certainly prevalent in this case. The progressive use of “racism” as a way to shut down any opposition to their advancements is now as useless as schools who claim that their bad behavior is “for the children.” The way to easily detect a progressive is that they use emotional arguments as a defense to hide their true guilt. To see what they are really after, all one has to do is look behind the accusations to the actual behavior.

In Fast and Furious it is now evident that there is much to hide in the documents Congress attempted to subpoena and The White House is directly guilty otherwise they wouldn’t have evoked Executive Privilege to keep them from the public. Because of Obama’s actions through his minion Eric Holder he will go down in history as one of the most corrupt presidents and it won’t be because he’s black. And it won’t be because he was or wasn’t born in the USA. Obama has chosen to associate with radical extremists in his past, and he has attempted to paint a picture of himself that is clearly not true. As a president, he is a power hungry tyrant addicted to attention. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth and appears to have no strong convictions about anything. President Obama is guilty of being an activist administrator who like so many judges in our judicial system has ruled from the bench. Obama wanted to push for more gun grabbing laws and being inexperienced in his first years in office was way too aggressive in the things he said through emails and letters proving that activism. It is that political activism which cost lives of that he is guilty.

Obama has been known to use the Justice Department as his own personal political enforcement wing. Most notably I think of the way the Justice Department encouraged the Black Panthers of harassing voters at a key polling place and how the Justice Department is suing Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona because it has been Sheriff Joe that has been so aggressive against illegal immigration and in going after Obama’s birth certificate. The Justice Department under Emperor Obama has certainly gone after individuals because they attempted to stand in the way of Obama’s power grabs.

In our government it is for this very reason that we have checks and balances, and Congress has no choice but to go after the criminals in this case, such as Eric Holder, and apparently now Emperor Obama along with anyone else. The cost of not doing so tells history that only certain people are required to live within the law. Lawyers/teachers like Obama can exempt themselves from the law if they are pursuing social justice since they are in pursuit of “collective salvation.” This his how Obama will justify his crimes as an American President to his own mind, but in the context of the law, he is simply just another criminal who used the power of his position to break the law, and attempt to rewrite legislation as he went along to make his crimes legal through popular consensus.

Heads must roll in the Fast and Furious case, and those heads will go all the way into The White House, and this situation could very well prove to be bigger than Watergate was for Nixon. But don’t ever expect Emperor Obama to step down like Nixon did once he was caught. Obama, because he has nothing else in his life but the power given to him through elected office will fight and manipulate any fact he must to survive one more day—because as a political looter he has nothing else to offer. His fear is that when he must return back to the private sector, he will be ridiculed forever as a thief and a fool. He will no longer have the world bow at his feet like the Emperor that he pretends he is. He’ll be just another common person without an idea in his head, or the effort to create one. He’ll be a “has been” in the worse extreme, a figure that was used by Democratic Machine politics to win The White House for one term and will be kicked to the curb as soon as it is discovered that Obama is useless.

In just a few short months not even Hollywood will host a party in Obama’s benefit because nobody wants to associate with a known thief even if the information has been suppressed through Executive Privilege. Everyone, even apologists know that doing such a thing is an indicator of guilt and that is a reality no lawyer can pave over. This is how Emperor Obama will be remembered as Congress will systematically decimate the layers and layers of crime committed under his presidency now that the smoking gun can be seen. And the fault will not be on anyone but Emperor Obama himself, and the minions who followed his order even to their own demise—like Eric Holder.

How To Remove a School Levy: Taking tax money back from the schools

The Cincinnati Enquirer recently announced that Lakota Schools had lost nearly half of all their school principals due to the financial struggles of three failed school levies. These Lakota principals have jumped off the ship citing upon their exit that they are uncertain about their financial futures and are either retiring or seeking employment elsewhere. That information is of course contrary to what they say in school levy campaigns, which is that everything they do is for the children. The mass exodus of these administrators to school districts they believe will continue their premium salaries and benefits should be an insult to the surrounding schools, and reveals what the true feelings are from these school employees. Administrators are essentially saying that they would rather leave behind the children who count on them because the district is attempting to solve their financial difficulties in favor of districts that are still throwing money at their public employees like there is no tomorrow.

http://westchesterbuzz.com/2012/06/21/lakota-losing-principals-at-high-rate/

One of the downsides to the Lakota School District deciding not to put a levy on the ballot in 2012 is that I will not get to attempt what the taxpayers in the Westerville School District are doing. For many years, those of us who have fought against tax increases have felt like victims of an organized political plot arranged between local politicians on school boards, and the radical teachers unions who have created for themselves gold plated benefits and wages at the expense of the tax payer. I have often complained that the average wage for the Lakota employee is $63K per year, but in Westerville, in Central Ohio, their average wage is $65K per year and trending towards $80,000 by the 2014/2015 school years. The spending was not stopped at Westerville as it was at Lakota because voters there approved by a narrow margin a 51% to 49% passage of a 6.71 mil tax.

See video of the repeal move against this levy at this link: http://vp.mgnetwork.net/viewer.swf?u=9ad6b34aea08102f8fb5001ec92a4a0d&z=OHV&embed_player=1

Usually, the story ends there, as it did recently in Southern Ohio in districts like Fairfield, Lebanon, and Little Miami who barely passed their tax levies with the help of huge apartment dweller votes, and serious organized labor rhetoric. Many voters once they approve for levy passage and see how the schools spent the money on teacher raises and other employee costs often regret their decision. And that’s what’s happening in Westerville.

With the help of the 1851 Center as their legal representation tax fighters have began to collect signatures to place on the ballot a roll back of that recently approved levy which is a tremendous act. Westerville is doing what all school districts who fight higher taxes are doing, and that is utilize the philosophy of the “best defense is a great offense.” Don’t wait for the radical union elements to push for further tax increases. Go after the tax increases already wrestled and manipulated by the educrats in organized labor, and rob it back to give to the tax payers who had it stolen to begin with. Such a move means that no longer on Election Day can organized labor put levy after levy on a ballot till it passes, then roll their naked bodies in the piles of money once they’ve legally stolen it without recourse. The 1851 Center led by Maurice Thompson has revealed a little known section of Ohio Revised Code that makes what Westerville is doing possible for every school district in Ohio who has suffered a similar fate. Read more about Westerville here:

http://www.ohioconstitution.org/2012/05/07/westerville-taxpayers-move-to-repeal-march-tax-increase/

I had a chance recently to speak with Maurice Thomson for a bit and he let me know that a few Southern Ohio tax fighters had contacted him but did not follow through, and he was still waiting to hear from them. I was surprised because I know the people involved and it seemed like the kind of thing that they would pounce on. Thompson is the Executive Director at the 1851 Center and directed the Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions. Previously Thompson served as an attorney for the Sam Adams Foundation in Chicago and practiced privately in Ohio and Illinois. His legal fees on these education matters are free. He has successfully litigated cases in the Supreme Court of Ohio as well as intermediate courts of appeal and courts of common pleas throughout Ohio on issues such as property rights, regulation taxation, corporate welfare, search and seizures and smoking bans. He’s also the author of Presuming Liberty: Using Ohio’s Constitution to Limit Government, Defending Liberty in Ohio: A Roadmap for Protecting Freedom and Limiting Government with the State Constitution, and he wrote the forward for the current pocket copy of Ohio’s Constitution. You can contact Thompson at the following website:

http://www.ohioconstitution.org/

Maurice Thompson has actually written a citizens guide to reducing school district tax burden that can be found at the 1851 Center site. Basically, what Thompson is advocating is that there is a very little utilized R.C. 5705 and R.C. 5748 that allows tax payers to reduce or eliminate most types of school district property and income taxes enacted through local levy elections. Specifically it is R.C. 5705.261 that permits Ohioans to use local initiatives to win the reduction or repeal of qualifying tax levies. Some of the rules for reduce or repeal of a tax is the voters must have approved the levy. The levy must not expire, and there can only be one attempt every five years. Read it for yourself here:

http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/5705.261

So for those who want to attempt this, be sure to take a page out of the union playbook and collect the ballot signatures during the summer while all the school employees are on their Caribbean cruises and vacationing at Disney World so that they can’t match your signatures with an attempt of their own to reduce their own levies with a ballot attempt of .000001 mil just to keep residents from being able to strike back at them, since another attempt would have to wait 5 years before trying again.

The sum of these matters is this—tax payers do not have to be passive victims always waiting for a school district to attack them with never ending tax increases. There are measures right now in place to strike back at the labor union methods of placing levy after levy, after levy on a ballot until it passes—then attempting to put it on in the summer like they did in Pickerington to stack the votes in favor of the school employees since school was off everyone’s mind. That district finally passed their levy after several attempts. Lawyers at the 1851 Center like Maurice Thompson are licking their chops for an opportunity to help right the wrongs that are going on in Ohio Schools at the expense of children for the gain of extremely self centered public employees who are out-of-touch and just plain greedy. But people have to call them, and let them help. Tax fighters have to be willing to collect signatures, but most of the people I know who fight these things have done all this activity before, so it isn’t difficult. I plan to call Maurice if Lakota ever manages to sneak one by in my district. But for those who have had them sneak by, like Lebanon, like Fairfield, like Forest Hills, like Little Miami, I recommend you call Maurice today and begin the process of removing those levies and showing the school boards that the tax payers of your districts are not going to take it.

We do not have to sit around waiting for school districts to keep pushing and pushing and pushing a tax until they get it passed, forcing taxpayers to just endure the higher tax grudgingly for the next 4 to 5 years until they try to raise taxes again in order to pay for the extraordinary salaries of their public employees. Now taxpayers can strike back, and do so in a huge way. And the way is being paved in Westerville with the help of Maurice Thompson at the 1851 Center. The wave of the future is not in tax increases initiated by bloated school districts but in the removal of them by the citizens who refuse to take the initiatives lying down. Such vigilance is the best way to bring fiscal responsibility to school districts by forcing changes that the schools will not enact upon themselves because of the radicalism of the unions that infect them.

As for Lakota, they will learn that they can succeed quite well without those middle manager principals, and that all along many of those administrators were just useless positions that could easily have been picked up by the assistant principals or a promoted teacher. The urgency at Lakota is only because the residents have taken the effort to manage our costs by saying no to tax increases. But for the other districts around Ohio who have been unfortunate in having taxes raised behind their backs after intense struggles—such as Little Miami who put their levy on the ballot 9 times—there is now a tool that tax payers can use to shut down those levy increases so that there will soon be no place for the bandits to escape to, forcing them as public employees to deal with the facts of reality.

France Will Fail Economically Within a Year: How to detect a socialist

Over the past weekend France had their elections and it was the Socialist Party behind President Francois Hollande who won the majority in the parliamentary elections. The first statements made from Hollande’s Socialist Party upon the news was that they plan immediately to raise taxes on big banks and oil companies, levy a 75-percent tax on incomes higher than $1 million Euro’s and hire 60,000 more teachers. Sound familiar?

Here in The United States, it is not a coincidence that Democrats specifically support almost identical measures. That is because raising taxes on the rich, and expanding the public sector with mindless contributions to the field of education are policies of socialists, so even though union leaders and politicians who call themselves progressives and Democrats laugh at the notion that they are socialists—their behavior identifies them as one. Their denial of their commitment to socialism is a conscious one. For many years they have attempted to sell communism to the American people by changing its name.

A similar comparison would be to declare that they are not football players because they actually play baseball. The commitment to a particular sport is the difference in the title. To those individual players the difference between the two is worlds apart. But to the spectators who attend football and baseball games we might consider all the players of both games under the designation of “athletes.”

In politics if a government believes that the playing field must be leveled so the creators serve the workers, we would call them socialists. Within socialist circles there are of course variations that have specific roles for specific games within politics, such as Democrats, progressives, Marxists, communists and so on. It is easy to become confused when left leaning politicians and political philosophers show different variations and differ from one another on the political left. Bertrand Russell for instance believed that all human beings should work a four-hour day and that managers of industry should not make more money than the workers who do the labor. He actually disagreed with Karl Marx on many points, almost as many points as he disagreed with capitalism. William Du Bois, the famous advocate of the civil rights movement was in many ways a rational pragmatist that I personally agree with on many issues, but then he would stick his foot in his mouth with tremendous praise for Soviet dictator Josef Stalin upon the death of that mass murderer. Noam Chomsky at times as a modern philosopher for the left advocates openly for complete anarchy and is the voice behind the current Occupy Movement. His comments easily betray the desires of presidents like Francois Hollande or Obama. Obama without question is a socialist. He may very well be a hard-core Marxist. He may be as extreme as an open communist. That is to say that if he were playing sports, he’d be a baseball player, a basketball player, and a football player. He’d be a jock in sports, an athlete of the highest order. In politics Obama plays all the sports, bits of Marxism, bits of socialism, bits of communism, all the while calling himself a Progressive Democrat.

What socialists always error in is their blanket assumption that a name plate position will execute the results of their desires. For instance, as in France, they intend to create 60,000 teachers. It is the belief of socialists that school teachers are important in expanding the desires of their philosophers such as Bertrand Russell who was born in Wales and taught at Cambridge University and influenced many of the current minds occupying the French Parliament as socialists. Russell was the big advocate that working less contributed to more human happiness, and used the Great Depression as a platform to attack capitalism and advance his cause. He had great influence on most of Europe at the time which migrated across the Atlantic to FDR’s ears. It is largely Russell’s ideas that shaped the modern European concept of such early retirement, which are bankrupting Greece, Italy and Spain with France soon to follow. Germany just rose their retirement age to 67 and they are currently the most stable of the countries in the European Union because of decisions like that. Yet all of Europe currently are looking at Germany to bail them out of their financial woes because somebody has to pay for all those benefits due to non productive citizens who are living till age 70 and 80 yet retiring at age 55 and 62. The math just doesn’t work out and rather than admit that their social engineering gods were wrong from the halls of the great Cambridge University, they would rather steal the money from their neighbors to balance their budget resulting from their failed philosophies.

In The United States Obama’s commitment to socialism has pushed the national debt to nearly $16 trillion dollars before the conclusion of his first term. He has blamed everyone but himself of course, because he is fundamentally flawed in his thinking. His Marxist teachers at the University of Chicago and at Harvard lied to him, and he can’t come to grips with it. Obama coming from a broken home looked to education as a stabilizing force in his wrecked life, and the tragedy for a person like him is the same as finding out that a dad is not superman, or a mom an angel. For too many evenings Barack Obama smoked dope with his Marxist college students and professors discussing the merit of philosophers like Marx, Russell, Du Bois, and Chomsky.

But the theories have fallen apart under practice, and a lack of emphasis on quality has destroyed even the basic premise of socialism. We have learned here in America that hiring 60,000 more teachers or spending $200 million more on education will not improve the intelligence of our youth. Because quality is not the emphasis, most of the teachers will be proven to be complete failures who shouldn’t teach a turtle to walk let alone help shape the fragile mind of a child. Yet politicians like Obama will say that his plan for saving the American economy is to “create” more government jobs and that will somehow fix everything.

Socialists forget that somebody has to create the things that they give away to the lazy, the stupid, and the diabolically lackluster. If all the money the rich make is stolen from them and given to a bunch of lazy loafers, then what incentive is there for a job creator to take a chance at creating something if they cannot reap the benefit of their labor? Socialist because of writers like Russell believe that the rich land owners and managers of enterprise are exploiting the workers unjustly by living lavish lifestyles off the backs of the oppressed while they live sumptuous lifestyles with beautiful women, fur coats and exotic cars. But the truth is, the rich person created something which gave a job to those who lacked that ability, and they deserve the benefits of ownership.

Socialists miss the entire concept of ownership, and without that ownership their utopian society fails 100% of the time. France will bankrupt themselves within the year and it won’t take long for them to be worse off than Greece, because the government philosophy they are functioning under is a failure. It’s a flash in the pan that was over before it ever got started. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that people will have a tendency to irresponsibly vote themselves gifts, and that is what happened in France. The French people want their guaranteed vacations, their early retirements at 62 years old, and their medical coverage. But they don’t care where the money comes from. They are counting on bailouts from Germany or even The United States if their country can’t balance their budget because now that all of Europe is in a union together nobody is incentivized to lead themselves. This is why socialism fails. Without personal incentive, countries, governments, and people will fail without exception, because their lives are built on the premise of looting from others who do the work, so that they can loaf in the comfort of collectivism.

A socialist can always been identified by their blind commitment to education, and a belief in shared sacrifice. Their mentality is a disease upon the face of the planet and there is no question that there are some in a neighborhood near you. Because socialism is the political philosophy of the weak, and timid pacifist, and those are not the type who create jobs—so their commitment to socialism costs them nothing. All they have to do is sit back, vote in favor of socialism and miraculously food falls into their mouths without their effort to obtain it. This is why any society that commits to such a preposterous concept will eliminate themselves from the economical game of life.

The Tea Party and Me: Politicians only have themselves to blame–“No They Can’t”

Just a bit of a disclaimer—I hope it wasn’t thought that because the Lakota Levy attempt of 2012 has been called off, and it would seem that the school district is going to take measures to solve some of their financial problems, that I was just going to go away. Maybe the belief was that I would just go swimming, or do cartwheels in my back yard, because that is not my plan. There have long been issues regarding local politics that I simply couldn’t get to because the Lakota information consumed so much of my time. Well, not anymore.

I have seen the spike in hits here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom no doubt from many of my political enemies around town who thought I might take a break as they looked at my latest article about the West Chester trustees. I thought I’d take the time to address them before their imaginations get away from them. When it comes to my involvement with the Tea Parties around town it is true that I do support them. But when it comes to the politics of the Tea Parties, we have many differences, so my relationship is not one where I take marching orders from any group of Tea Partiers. If my articles seem to be motivated by Tea Party ideology it is where I am on common ground with them that those articles reflect. Much of the Tea Party movement is simply dedicated to educating the public and peaceful protest of big expensive government. Their danger to the political process is that those who have been playing games in broad daylight with tax payer resources now have a group to fear who intends to expose those acts in pursuit of fiscal responsibility, and they have a right to do so. That is called, “management” of financial resources. Actually, they have an obligation to do so.

Regarding Catherine Stoker and Lee Wong, I’m sure they think it’s unfair to be at the center of these investigations, but they are public servants—with “servants” being the operative word. They are not part of any political class of rulers, as much as they might pretend to be amongst themselves.

Where I differ from most of the Tea Party members is many are just a bit too far to the political left for me. Many of them that I know quite well I disagree with their desire to even play politics with some of the obvious instances of corruption that are openly known, and if I had it my way, there would be much harsher treatment of those crimes than just exposing the stories with the light of awareness. While many might consider me a radical right-wing advocate, from my point of view that’s only because they are so far to the left they have lost perspective. The Tea Party members I know are good people who still believe in the system of government we have now, and they wish to work within that system to tweak the republic back into some sense of honesty, which I think is a noble cause, and I support if it’s possible.

Personally, I don’t see hope in such a process. I think the bad guys should be rounded up and confronted directly and left to fate to determine the result. I have no desire to play patty-cake with bad guys and to me, a politician who openly lies and manipulates a situation—even a minor one so that they might personally advance their positions are bad guys and gals and I have no tolerance for it. None.

I have nothing personal against Lee Wong, but he got caught manipulating “the system” to his advantage over the Eagleridge crosswalk. Lee’s wife is on the board of the Beckett Ridge Homeowners association and it is very obvious by the mountains of evidence that Lee worked with Cathy Stoker to get a crosswalk put in for personal use at the expense of the tax payers. It was a feather in everyone’s cap and they used a disabled person to advance the cause, and it was wrong.

I started watching the West Chester trustees and their actions more closely because of the comments by Stoker in the Enquirer article against me where she jumped on the band wagon to attack me, so I have been looking to return the favor. Why she felt she should include herself in the obvious school levy campaign against me indicates guilt to some extent, so it drew my attention to her activities. When I saw how the two of them treated, and disrespected Trustee Lang, who I do personally like, I took offense to their behavior. To watch in the videos how Trustee Lee became so defensive and attacked Lang as being “unethical” really pissed me off to put it mildly. It reminded me of how this same group of politicians attempted to paint me as a “woman hater” in the Cincinnati Enquirer because they could not answer the questions about school funding that I brought up. It’s an old political trick where something you do is taken out of context and twisted around by a political enemy to mount peer pressure against the provoker. In my case it was a blog posting were I blasted a select group of levy supporters in a negative way once I discovered they were protesting against me outside of the local Kroger grocery store. For Lang he went through a trial a few years back and Lee attempted to shut Lang down in their spirited debate with that bad memory because Lee was trying to cover up the collusion he had been doing to have the crosswalk built. And believe me; I understand what Lang went through. It’s partly because of it that I am happy to say he’s one of the few politicians I respect.

So Cathy and Lee only have themselves to blame for the attention that is headed their way. I wouldn’t have been looking too closely if Cathy didn’t make herself part of my personal story and Lee obviously does not have a working relationship with a person I respect in Mr. Lang. So they can be angry at the West Chester Tea Party for paying close attention to the happenings in their community and questioning the way funds are allocated. They can send the zoning people over to harass the Grand Ole Pub because it’s no secret that they have been hosting the West Chester Tea Party social gatherings, although I wouldn’t say the owner is a radical right winged guy, just a lover of American nostalgia. And they can consult their advisors about how to proceed next. But they only have one person to blame for the attention that is coming their way—themselves. The kind of political games I witnessed over the Eagleridge crosswalk is exactly the kind of thing that has virtually destroyed America, and to ignore it is wrong. Without question Stoker and Wong believe they were doing the right thing for the community, so they saw no harm in undermining the political process by initiating the allocation of funding 6 weeks before the issue was even brought to the board and Wong had his neighbor initiate the deal before the trustees so it would be recorded in the public minutes of the meeting officially. The trick from Cathy Stoker to sucker Lang into agreeing to hear the testimony at the conclusion of the meeting only to have it used against Lang weeks later as a way to say the project is already done and he agreed to it is underhanded at best, and represents bad politics in the purest way. It is not the job of these politicians to “rule” on our behalf as political elites, and that’s how these trustees behaved, and it deserves to be exposed.

To be angry at Lang, or the West Chester Tea Party—or any other affiliate is misdirected. Collusion in politics costs a lot of money, and years of that type of behavior has bankrupted our nation, and we have an obligation to fix it when we see it. So a note to the politicians reading this—you better get with the program. You can try to suck up to the local Tea Party groups all you want, but know this; I don’t work for them, or anybody. If I see bad things going on, I will expose it here for the world to see since our newspapers won’t do the task themselves. And I won’t stop until there are no more bad deeds going on in politics. It’s that simple. So choose your next moves carefully, and decide best how to serve your community. Because the methods of the past will not work in the future–the Tea Party wants to work with you to make a better world. I simply want to put every bad politician out of business and eliminate their job completely so we can all be free of them. Shaking hands does not achieve that for me. But life as it was will not be possible.

Jerry Sandusky Trial: The pain of doing the right thing

Over the years I have gotten into a lot of trouble righting wrongs that in my view were pure evil. Sometimes in these conflicts the other side does not survive the worst case scenarios and sometimes the decimation of the wrong doer’s public persona is worse than death to them, because they care so much what others think. Sometimes the wrong doers are single advocates of terror, and sometimes the terrorist is a large organization. But as I reflect back on my life at this moment I can honestly say that even with all the pain it’s caused, with all the conflict, with all the broken hearts that follow—I am proud to have never turned away from a situation like Mike McQueary did when he walked in on Jerry Sandusky raping a young boy in a shower. McQueary did what the law says you should do, and that is report the incident to a higher authority. The trouble is, when our world is laced with massive amounts of self-serving corruption, and weaklings of spirit, such authority cannot be trusted. No, in reality by the rules of the human race, McQueary had an obligation to that little boy to save him from the domination of a much older man—but he didn’t. He took the weak way out and left the responsibility of justice to the mob of collective campus politics where it was swept under the rug at Penn State.

Of all the adults I know, most talk tough one on one over lunch, or at the local pub, but when it comes to action, they are often afraid to act on their knowledge of justice just as McQueary did. Only Darryl Parks at 700 WLW seems to have as much conviction over the Jerry Sandusky trial as I do. I believe what Darryl says in this broadcast seen below from his Saturday show because Darryl has taken a similar stand on school levies, which exploit children to pad the pockets of public employees, and he often goes on bold crusades against wrong doers calling them out by name on the 50,000 watt flamethrower known all over the Eastern United States as the Big One. He does those things because often it’s the right thing to do, and these days very few people feel secure enough with themselves to take a stand of any kind. And this has led to the kind of evil that occurred at Penn State for a very long time where hundreds, probably thousands turned away from justice in blind servitude to the might of Penn State as an institution. Listen to what Darryl has to say on the matter.

Right now, there are children who are desperately looking for adults to emulate, to show them that becoming a man or a woman is not a cheap suit of depravity. When a child is being abused and it is well known, yet good people turn away from the situation then evil is allowed to rule and goodness has lost. It does not matter if it is a beloved sports franchise, a business, a neighbor, a boss, even a parent. If evil is allowed to rule without being challenged, then the word “good” has no meaning.

Darryl is right. Mike McQueary should have beaten the living shit out of Sandusky on the spot when the rape was occurring. McQueary should have turned Sandusky into a bag of broken bones, which he could have done. Without question McQueary probably would have lost his job, he would have been sued; he would have been castigated in the sports community and may not have found another coaching job. But he would have saved that little boy and perhaps many others over the years. He had a moral obligation to that child, and he turned away from it trusting “the system” to do the right thing for him—which of course did not happen. Everyone in “the system” chose purposely to do the wrong thing to save themselves and their careers. In the sporting world, every person that knew about Jerry Sandusky’s rape of children is guilty. And many did know, because as Darryl pointed out, nobody offered Jerry Sandusky a job after he left Penn State, because they didn’t want the baggage. Nobody will ever admit it in the light of day, but they knew which was revealed in their silence.

I’m sure Mike McQueary like many people in his position wish they could go back and do it all again. I’m sure he’s played it out in his mind thousands of times what he “should have” done, but didn’t. When people ask me why I’ve taken the positions I have, or said the things I have, or done the things I’ve done to people who have done wrong and accuse me of being extreme, and over-the-top, I would point to issues like this situation at Penn State. I will not have on my conscience the kind of torture Mike McQueary has experienced. Lucky for me, I’ve had court judges who think of these matters similar as I do, and could have put me in jail many times over, but didn’t because they recognized the situations for what they were. But that doesn’t always happen, and some of those old judges from my past are long retired and have been replaced by lifetime ambulance chasing lawyers just looking for steady work, and have very little ethics. So it is possible they might throw the book at a freedom fighter just because they can, so they don’t have to feel the guilt of their own decrepit lives by equal measure.

Right now, many reading this know of some little tyranny in their own lives that they are doing nothing about, and they are letting down the innocent with their inaction. They eat, they watch too much television, they rent too many movies in a hope to push those thoughts from their minds, but it doesn’t work—does it? No amount of alcohol or any other drug can fully push it from the mind once the imprint of a coward makes its mark. And that makes them diminished human beings incapable of running their own lives, raising children, running businesses or serving as politicians. In fact, my hatred of most politicians is over this very issue. Most of them are cowards who are seeking to redeem some little Mike McQueary moment in their lives by serving on a school board, or becoming a township trustee. But what they bring with them to the table is more of their cowardly behavior and they seek to make deals with other cowards because like minds think the same, and soon they have made victims of thousands instead of just a few leaving behind destruction and psychological mayhem in their wake. No amount of tax money stolen from the tax payers can purchase their ticket into heaven making up for the sins of their past. There isn’t enough money in all of human potential that can erase the sins of inaction once they’ve happened.

I won’t lie to you dear reader, life is much easier if you just turn away from the tortured children of the world, or avoid the punks, the losers, the dirty politicians who at every turn seek to make a new victim at the hands of their aggression. But in the act of turning away, your mind records it, and you will never forget the pieces of you that are lost by each transgression. It is not just depleted cellular growth that makes people old; it’s the pieces that fall away as we must remember all the times we’ve turned away from evil to save our own skins leaving another to perish at the hands of a monster. So personally speaking, there is much less damage in kicking the shit out the monster right then and there and letting the chips fall wherever, because the inaction will cost you more in the long run.
