Doc Thompson at The Cincinnati Freedom Expo: A new age of radio at The Blaze

Doc Thompson’s speech at the Cincinnati Freedom Expo had for me a tinge of sadness even though it was electrifying in delivery. It was sad because before he spoke two men had stood on the stage for a moment as giants in the radio business, at least locally within the Cincinnati area. The man who introduced Doc Thompson was Brian Thomas of 55 KRC who is a wonderful person and has been with the liberty movement from day one. He does a show from 6 AM to 9 AM every weekday morning that has done much to fan the flames of freedom over the years. Doc Thompson just over a year ago worked with Thomas at Clear Channel Radio but as fate would have it is now part of a national show on The Blaze radio network that Glenn Beck has started which utilizes the Internet in ways that are innovative and pure from a moral standpoint. My sadness came as I thought of all the battery operated radios I have had over the years where I would listen to AM radio at all hours of the day and night learning infinite amounts of information from minds communicating over vast distances to be received in the privacy of my own home. Even as a young child of 8 years old as I turned on my radio to listen to WLW at 2 AM in the morning careful not to get caught by my parents for violating my sleep, I felt the privilege of being an American with access to such stores of knowledge passing over invisible airwaves. As an adult I have participated in radio as a frequent guest and used the power of debate to articulate complicated arguments that are most successfully framed in such a fashion. I love radio, and some of my best friends are radio people because we share the value of such thought freedom. Unfortunately the reality of knowing too much is the result of such relationships, and this was the cause of my sadness as I watched Doc speak during the following clip.

The radio as it is today is dying. It is being replaced with Internet radio, phone apps, and much more powerful and free means of communicating that stand to end the powerful rule of radio as controlled by the so-called public airwaves. My sadness is that I like Brian Thomas at 55 KRC a lot, and I feel that within the decade his job at Clear Channel will be in peril as the kind of leap that Doc Thompson has made with Glenn Beck will change the world in a way that has not yet been foreseen. Doc and his producer, long time friend Skip are truly on the cutting edge of technology with their all Internet radio show on the powerful Blaze Network. Doc’s style of radio is traditional American with copious amounts of humor. Doc like Glenn Beck likes to tackle stories that are very critical of the government, and it is the government who runs the FCC, Federal Communications Commission. Under the First Amendment this should be no problem. But radio people will testify privately that they have the same problems with the FCC as controversial figures often have with the IRS. It is well-known that when controversial, small government types put a light on themselves, the risk of being audited by the IRS goes up dramatically. The IRS is not shy about imposing themselves upon targets under the laws they helped shape to “inconvenience” the lives of the people they audit. The threat of IRS audits is enough to change human behavior to stay away from any conduct the IRS might not approve of. The same kind of performance goes on with the FCC. If a radio station does not do enough “balanced” content a radio station is often audited by a FCC regulator and this can spell big trouble for a station trying to stay in business with ad sales and any revenue streams they can manage offering free content over the airwaves. This is a hidden tyranny that few know about but those who are close to the business. For instance, hypothetically speaking of course—perhaps a radio station provided too much content attacking public schools as incompetent and that the government took notice deciding they wanted to crack down on the station for “unfairly” targeting public education. The concern is that public education is a shared government program, so the FCC activists seek to crack down on the violating station providing their government co-workers with a little help. They audit the station’s programming and determine that the program director needs to provide more opinions from both sides of a political debate even though only one side represents the truth, and is accepted by the listening public. Offering false progressive oriented information just to appear “balanced” has a negative impact on the listening audience whom the station seeks to appeal to in order to sell advertising space. But failure to comply can mean the revocation of the FCC licenses for the station. This is how the media has become so liberal over time is through this type of activism on behalf of the FCC. The same content challenges come on television, and producers of content have had to learn to dance around the regulations to appease auditors.

The government grabbed this control with the Act of 1927 where the Commissioners had total power over the fate of professional broadcasters. They did this in the fashion that they always do, by declaring that the airwaves where in the “public interest.” From the outset public radio waves as quickly as they were discovered, or rather invented as a means for utilizing through technology, was taken over by government statists like President Herbert Hoover who declared in 1924, “radio communication is not to be considered as merely a business carried on for private gain, for private advertisement, or for entertainment of the curious. It is a public concern impressed with the public trust and to be considered primarily from the standpoint of public interest in the same extent and upon the bases of the same general principles as our other public utilities.” Hoover was of course wrong and was being influenced at the time by the global push for communism which had infected Europe. To stave it off from the education institutions in America, Presidents like Hoover tossed sacrifices to the statist oriented big government progressive advocates in return for peace; much the way station directors do for FCC auditors in the present time. The result has been a gradual erosion of the First Amendment from day one in radio and this is why I was sad watching Doc Thompson speak. It wasn’t for Thompson that my heart went out, but for Brian Thomas and the station he works for that struggle with the FCC. Doc Thompson who is now working for Glenn Beck is totally free of that FCC drivel which should have never been put in place to begin with.

The Internet is driving big government types insane with worry, which is why there are constant attempts to tax and regulate the Internet which in its current state is the perfect example of laissez-faire capitalism. The government starting with Al Gore has tried to lay claim that it was he (government) who created the Internet so that they can hope to build in the minds of society the moral means to create some modern form of the Act of 1927 allowing the FCC to regulate Internet content and put a stop to all the free expression that goes on because of the unregulated content where competition crushes bad ideas, but encourages creativity. It is because of the Internet that blog sites like this Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom site can thrive and bypass the regulated controls of newspapers and television. It is because of the Internet that Doc Thompson now has the potential to reach listeners all over the world instead of the meager power of a radio station throwing information to the airwaves controlled by the government.

So far, the government has not been able to control the Internet with a moral argument that has duped the public, and it is driving them absolutely crazy. As of this writing the CISP (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) passed the House of Representatives by a 288-127 vote, receiving support from 92 Democrats. It will move to the Senate and then to the president’s desk. That bill has been proposed in the same spirit as the Act of 1927 and is a gateway for the government to regulate Internet usage and information exchange. The Internet powered by new media like blog sites, YouTube and Internet radio like The Blaze hosted by Doc Thompson has far more power than any FCC controlled business because good ideas will be accepted by the public, and bad ones will be flushed out the way capitalism is supposed to work under a laissez-faire system. The FCC has harmed the flow of information in an attempt to control the behavior of on-air content in the same way that the government has destroyed the economy, through tampering, meddling, and coercion. Because of the FCC Brian Thomas cannot say whatever he wants whenever he wants to, and put at risk his reputation to his listeners if he believes the risk is worth the reward. For him, the decisions are already made. He can discuss content in a certain way so that he does not violate the FCC license of the company he works for. If he crosses the line, because of the license renewal process, management can reel him back under control, and this is the direct result of government intrusion into broadcasting. CEO’s and other managers trying to keep their professional broadcasting companies operating, have learned to stray to the political left in order to keep auditors off their backs and keep advertisers secure. To understand how serious this situation is watch this broadcast between Doc Thompson and Matt Clark on WAAM radio in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Doc Thompson now on the other hand only has to worry about Glenn Beck. Doc is free to do and say what he pleases and the risks are completely on his shoulders. For instance, when Doc shared the hallways of Clear Channel with Brian Thomas during the fall of 2011, Doc would wrap up his show each day with a five-minute segment “What have we learned today.” It’s a fun segment that allows for a lot of humor, and is an aspect of his show that his audience enjoys. On The Blaze network Doc and Skip do over 10 minutes of the segment and have a tremendous amount of fun doing it. Most of the segment is deeply critical of modern government and the outrageous hypocrisy that is often associated with institutionalized sacrifice. Doc’s show has only been active since January of 2013 and is quickly growing in numbers. After listening to Doc now for a couple of months and noticing how it has evolved, the success of it is a foregone conclusion. It is successful because it follows the rules of laissez-faire capitalism and will soon crush the kind of radio stations that I have grown up listening to because the FCC will not allow direct competition. The government has declared itself owners of the airwaves and have put themselves out of the emerging market. It is because of the FCC that the Internet is a thriving, vivacious place of anything and everything at any time a day, the way the American economy is supposed to be. For instance, last week my Jacuzzi had a heating element that went out in it, so I took the removed part up to a pool specialty shop where they told me they couldn’t find a replacement. Discouraged, my wife went to Ebay and looked up Jucuzzi heating elements. She found a match for our tub that was $22, about $40 cheaper than I was expecting. She ordered it, it arrived by UPS and I installed it within a few hours. The tub was back up and operating again in no time at all while I was in attendance watching Doc Thompson’s speech. Ebay is a dynamic market driven supplier whereas the carefully controlled regulated pool store could not help me get what I needed. If not for Ebay, I may have had a really difficult time getting a new heating element. The same kind of flexibility is what is happening to the First Amendment in public broadcasting. The old radio business model is dying, whereas the new one represented by Doc Thompson is growing rapidly.

The sadness I felt at Doc’s speech wasn’t so much in that the old radios of my youth were becoming extinct. It was more like witnessing a young child who was born and immediately had its legs cut off so that it could never run away too far from mother government and had just now been seen for its handicap. Such a comparison was only noticed in a side by side analysis. The FCC put the clamps down on free thought in a direct reaction to the great communist threat coming from across the pond, and what America ended up with was broadcasting which reflects the mixed economy of our present society—full of diversity, and content, but always possessing a subtle reminder that America could do better, have more, and reach much loftier heights. It’s the thought one has who visits Disney World and sees that there are wheel chair ramps up the Swiss Family Robison House in Adventure Land which reminds viewers that the ADD had their input on the creative impulse of such capitalistic endeavors represented eloquently in amusement parks. More and more listeners of radio programming are switching to Doc Thompson on The Blaze radio network from 6 AM to 9 AM Monday through Friday to hear the unregulated truth separated gleefully from the long arm, and nanny state FCC. Shows like what Doc Thompson and Glenn Beck are producing on the Internet is what radio should have always been. But radio never had a chance, because of the government’s innate instinct to behave as European statists devoid of logic, encapsulated by a mask of goodness, only to discover the roots of tyranny were uttered in the well-intentioned words of Herbert Hoover which created the Great Depression prevailed. The Internet is all about laissez-faire capitalism and this has never been truer than the wonderful work Doc Thompson produces each day in thought, humor, and news delivery. His show can be heard anywhere in the world where the Internet can be received and is the future of America and the continuous pursuit of freedom.

The Beauties of Liberty: Human evolution advances

Beauties of Liberty Many people outside of the Liberty Movement believe incorrectly that all members of the Tea Party and related libertarian leaning activity are the work of old people and stuffy traditionalists who simply want to rewind America back to the 1950s. That is not the case as a core group of freedom fighters representing a growing demographic gathered for some table pounding and beer slinging at the Hofrauhause in Newport, Kentucky and proved convincingly that America is changing for the better. After the booming success of the Cincinnati Freedom Expo just across the Licking River at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center this group gathered to outline the next steps of freedom advancement. The event was a planned meeting of some of the most dedicated and dynamic individuals in the freedom movement which went on till the small hours past midnight. And of this rather large group, at 45-years-old I was clearly one of the oldest at the table with Doc Thompson sharing with me the fatherly role compared to the youth driving the content. Across from me sat three women who by any standard were very attractive and represent accurately the future of liberty in America. When the revolutionaries of 1773 gathered under The Liberty Tree in Boston to launch the pursuit of freedom that would create the idea of America, the meeting at the Hofrauhause in 2013 was made of the same type of minds. The women pictured above were none other than Libertarian Girl, known famously for her Barbi doll appearance and passionate love of guns that are .50 caliber or larger, Rachael Proctor from the Tea Party Patriots who is nationally known for her protests against public education indoctrination elaborately broadcast on Fox and Friends, and of course my wife, who does more than anyone will ever know in making it possible for me to do the work I do here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom. If the liberty movement of 1773 was called The Sons of Liberty the women gathered before me would hold the updated title The Beauties of Liberty.

ENDIRS I enjoyed listening to Libertarian Girl argue with the two guys sitting next to me about the evils of public roads, and the statism of the police who attempted to harass her upon entering the Hofrauhause by going through her bag. After nearly getting arrested she arrived in front of me to argue the merits of freedom over statism, decriminalizing marijuana, attacks against the second amendment, and the many jarring follies of the current President. I thought to debate her over her marijuana beliefs as I stand against all drugs because of the mental “evasion” qualities typical of them, and just enjoyed the banter because it was intelligent. Libertarian Girl represented a new kind of young, attractive woman who is not the prissy fashion model of yesterday who couldn’t name how many states are in The United States, or even know who the vice president was. Libertarian Girl was deeply intelligent, and very passionate, and nobody was going to mess with her. The Hofrauhause was crowded at 1 AM, with people dancing on the tables and making quite a ruckus. Libertarian Girl moved about the room in a high cut skirt displaying the tattoo of a garter on her upper thigh and a low-cut top that hid very little. No human being at the Hofrauhause turned away from her appearance as she strutted confidently about the room warning all not to engage unless they wished to meet with a slaughter. When a few “considered” engaging her in some fashion her response was a standard, “don’t f**K with me.” It was a pleasure to dine with such a woman who let my son-in-law know that her real name was Mary. Young, fearless, deeply intelligent, and willing to engage in fisticuffs of conflict in less than a second, I knew I was meeting the youthful representative of the modern Liberty Movement that will someday populate stories of folklore. shoot

Next to Libertarian Girl was Rachael Proctor who is the Regional Support of the Southeast States for the Tea Party Patriots. Rachael is involved on many liberty fighting fronts, but it was her appearance on Fox & Friends that linked her passions with mine so integrally. When her daughter had been exposed to open indoctrination at her public school Rachael went from being a well spoken and extremely articulate young woman to a vicious protector not only of her child but of American liberty, and capitalism. When her first-grader’s participation in an Earth Day program at school was discovered teaching their class a song with the following lyrics, the gloves came off. Rachael-Proctor-of-TPP

Recycle, bicycle, don’t you drive by yourself
Don’t buy those plastic products on the supermarket shelf.
Boycott, petition, let the big business know
That if we mess it up here
there’s nowhere else we can go.

Rachael and I got along fabulously because of our shared interest in public education reform specifically focused on ending liberal indoctrination of young people using tax money to do it. What impressed me most about Rachael Proctor was her firm grace, sweeping knowledge of national affairs, and an obvious commitment to her family. She and my wife got alone wonderfully as they are both mothers actively involved in a pursuit of liberty. Neither woman was a crazed lunatic or social malcontent. Both women a decade ago would have been socially expected to be runway models for Victoria’s Secret, not slamming mugs of Dunkel at the Hofrauhause in Newport and discussing the evils of quantitative easing. Times have changed for the better.

Even though the women across my table impressed me, our group was a big one, with a lot of planning going on up and down it that will be revealed in strategic bursts in the months to come. Next to me toward the middle of the group was Doc Thompson and his producer Skip from The Blaze radio network. During our meeting Glenn Beck gave Doc the “green light” for a special show to cover the Boston Marathon Bomber who had just been taken into custody a few hours prior. Across from Doc was my friend Matt Clark, a talk radio host from Ann Arbor, Michigan on WAAM. Next to Doc was Sharon Poe who helps me keep track of all the school levy business in and around Southern Ohio. Next to them were some “illustrious politicians” who will go un-named. And down the table were Ann Becker President of the Cincinnati Tea Party with Chris Littleton and a small army of number crunchers whose political geekness would make the stars of the popular television show Big Bang Theory look like unsophisticated trilobites. There was a lot of yelling with both ends of the table shouting down to the other as the limbs of the modern Liberty Tree bloomed in the drunken halls of Newport’s Hofrauhause. The chance for such a diverse group to meet in the same place at the same time wasn’t neglected.

The participants in the new Liberty Movement are not the grandparents who regret their acceptance of LBJ’s Great Society, or addicts of Social Security who supported FDR because he gave them free stuff and just now have come to their senses regretting youthful voting decisions. These new freedom fighters are attractive—AND—intelligent, which makes for a very dangerous combination. If I had to guess I would bet that the three beautiful women pictured above, these modern Beauties of Liberty have read more books just between them than the entire town populations of most American communities. To make matters worse for those who stand in the way of freedom, the truth is on their side. Libertarian Girl has all the right in the world to wear her mini/mini/mini skirt to the gun range and fire off rounds with a .50 caliber machine gun. The Second Amendment gives her that right and she knows it, and anybody who stands in her way is itching for an intellectual beat down. When Rachael Proctor discovered during her very busy life that her child’s public school was attempting to indoctrinate students against capitalism in favor of socialism (the green movement) she went on Fox News and took the argument to a very high level, forcing changes in education not just in her school, but education institutions across the country. These new women of the Freedom Movement are not the stereotypical beauties who might hang out in casinos waiting for a victim to come away from the tables as a winner so they could move the world in their favor based on sexuality. These new Tea Party women have the physical traits fully capable of siren songs rivaling any sailors tale, but have the added threat of intelligence—and truth in their arsenal, which was a welcome realization. In addition to the sign stimuli of the sexes, there is wit to these freedom fighters that makes them a breed onto themselves, and an important part of the new phase of liberty which is spreading not by legislation, speeches, or even logic—but by the youth. Young people like Libertarian Girl, and Rachael Proctor know they have been scammed and have decided they aren’t going to take it anymore, and in so doing, are set to usher in a new age for the human race—one that is centered on freedom, and ends with the evolution of the human being into something better than what it has ever been prior–free people capable of governing themselves by reason, not legislation carefully concealed behind the threat of coercion.

Making of ‘Tail of the Dragon’ The Novel Part V: Morality beyond the limits of political law

Many people used to say that someday I would learn my place, and stop being so rambunctious. They said that someday I would turn down the music and place my foot lighter on the accelerator. They used to say that once I did some jail time, or paid enough fines that I would “settle down.” That was nearly three decades ago, and those people if they are still alive themselves, have stopped tapping their foot waiting for it to happen. They have had to accept that after all the many, many times that I have stood in front of judges, all the countless times I have had patrol car lights behind me, and even the times that I represented myself in court because my legal representation was incompetent and not able to defend my cases to my satisfaction, that their dreams of defeat would come. People who have stood against me, or wished for me to fall in line with typical human acceptance of authority have had to give up on their dreams of my compliance. What they never figured out was that I learned when I was very young that the American legal system was made up of social looters who were more interested in making money, than justice, and the intent behind law was not the protection of private property—as its supposed to be, but in the rule of a political class over the “common man,” and I have fought that tendency since I was a 5-year-old child with my Big Wheel. And I haven’t kept my opinions to myself over the years. Instead I have taught them to my kids which can be seen in the below video, which is Part 5 of the Making of series chronicling the creation of my latest novel Tail of the Dragon. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS. In the video, my daughter and her husband accompanied my wife and I to the Indie Gathering Film Festival in Cleveland, Ohio to accept an award for a short film I had entered for competition titled The Overman, for the best experimental film category.

Because of my thoughts about speed, and the legal system I had no problem telling the operators of the film festival that I would arrive at 10 AM that morning from Cincinnati. My daughter and her husband wanted to go with us, so we planned a motorcycle trip for the weekend up to Cleveland. I wanted to take a break from the writing of Tail of the Dragon to accept the award, so we decided to leave on a Saturday morning, spend the night at the Holiday Inn at West Lake where the film festival was being held, then return on Sunday. At 5 AM in the morning, we hit the road on my Boulevard motorcycle. My son-in-law rode the GS750 that he bought from me the year before, and my daughter rode their Kawasaki Ninja. However, my daughter had never ridden a motorcycle on her own. Previously she had ridden on the back of the Ninja with my son-in-law, but that was the extent of her motorcycle riding experience. So I promised her we’d take several breaks along the way. Her only real concern at the time was that she only had a temp permit, and was concerned that she’d run into trouble with the law being so far away from home on just a learners permit. This was the way I came up with the plot line in Tail of the Dragon where Rick Stevens gets pulled over by the police while on a learners permit in Tennessee. My daughter was taking a big risk riding a very fast motorcycle as her first real riding experience, and over such a vast distance. But as I’ve always taught her, without risk the rewards are often not very profitable, so she desired to take a risk in hope of rewards and push herself in a way she had never done before. 600 miles over a weekend on a motorcycle at over 80 to 90 MPH the entire time as a beginning rider with only a motorcycle temp license was challenging, and I was proud of her.

We stopped short of Columbus well before the sun came up to get a feel for how she was doing. Early in the game, she was getting used to the bike and the speed, so we were able to move on up the highway making a few fuel stops and a traditional breakfast at the Cracker Barrel—which we tend to do when traveling as a family. Much of the time we were traveling at over 90 MPH as the sun was coming up which was spectacular. It’s the kind of experience that cannot be explained to people who have not participated in that kind of activity. With me the speed is necessary. I was scheduled to arrive in Cleveland at Lake Wood around 10 AM to get my booth set up and report for the screening of my film. But I set such deadlines knowing the pace I typically travel at, which is faster than flight if TSA lines are accounted for. I can often travel to far-flung cities quicker than an airplane can load passengers, takeoff, and land dispatching their customers. So I often take full advantage of that ability.

Many people over the years have told me that my driving tendencies are reckless, but this is based on the perspective of “average” people who desire to be led around like cattle by a political class afraid of their own shadows. Never-the-less, my attitude has put me into a lot of trouble with the law. The goal of these legal altercations has not been justice on behalf of the safety of mankind. The goal is to use the law, which has set speed limits unnecessarily low so that politicians can have the opportunity to have a tax increase against the public in the disguise of “justice.” The point of my new novel was to illustrate this fact based on my many experiences in front of judges and police officers. My editor at American Book at one point challenged one of the confrontations that Rick Stevens, (the protagonist of Tail of the Dragon) had with a police officer—as there were several—and didn’t believe that a cop would behave in the way I described in the novel. I explained to her that I had been in nearly the same exact circumstance in real life which involved a gun, and that Rick Stevens story had its roots more in reality than in fiction.

We arrived in Cleveland to meet the day ahead of the other contestants even though many of them were already staying at the hotel. We were the first to arrive in the networking room, which is the way I like to perform my business. We set up our table and did our work at the festival. I shook hands, signed autographs, posed for pictures and received my awards. When the other filmmakers went to a party at the hotel bar that night, my family was in our hotel room working on philosophy concepts and taking notes from the day. My son-in-law does a lot of thinking of his own and had many thoughts to capture from his observations, and my daughter naturally does as well. She often stays up late every night writing down ideas, editing pictures and doing research, so we don’t attend many parties. We socialize in a festive fashion on VERY rare occasions. I spent many hours after everyone went to bed working on a re-write of the completed Tail of the Dragon manuscript based on some of my observations from the previous day.

The next day, we awoke, had a nice breakfast and said goodbye to everyone in Cleveland. We hit the road with the same fury for which we came. At a fuel stop, my very fatigued daughter let the Ninja fall over as she was extremely tired from the hard riding the previous day and so far during our trip south. The bike’s fall bent the shift shaft that went into the gearbox preventing the Ninja from shifting out of second gear. This essentially halted our progress as it would be impossible to do any highway driving without the ability to shift out of second gear. My son-in-law and I went to fix the bent shaft and get the bike operating again. My daughter felt terrible. She was tired, strained to her limit, and still nearly 200 miles from home. She was caught between the tough spot of wanting to complete the journey and hoping that the motorcycle was broken beyond repair to relieve her of having to ride it back home. For people not used to such long rides, a 90 MPH journey on a crotch rocket over 200 miles of highway is tough. The wind beats at the body in terrible ways and there is no way to shift a seating position to become more comfortable. She was tired, and her legs weren’t working very well from being deprived of movement which is why the bike fell over during a fuel stop.

But she toughed it out once we got the bike operating again. We stopped just above Columbus for dinner after spending most of the afternoon fixing the bike in a parking lot. Once we arrived above Columbus we were close enough to home that she knew she could do the last hour and a half on a full stomach. She swore to me that she’d never ride that far again, and it took her a long time to get back on a motorcycle. She was never so glad to arrive home as she was that day. The first day had been fun, but tiring. The second day had been too much. It did occur to me on the way home to back off the gas, and drop down to 75 MPH or even 65 MPH. But I was worried that if we yielded to the circumstances that my daughter would always feel that the situation had conquered her, instead of her conquering the situation. As a father, I did worry about her blanking out from the strain and crashing all over the highway. But I wanted her to know that I trusted her, and her desire to not let me down was a gift from me to her in delivering her to a conquest that she will know all her life as one she didn’t walk away from.

When my daughter was a little girl, a bully spit on her while she played with her sister and friends at the playground. He had been showing off for his friends and was older by several years. My kids were targeted because I had been known in our neighborhood as the most vicious advocate against marijuana sales anywhere in southern Ohio. I caused such a ruckus over the sale of marijuana in my community that I knew all the cops by name as they came to my house so often. After a while I gave up calling the cops because it was revealed to me that they were involved in the pot sales directly and passively. In fact I had a next door neighbor who was a cop and he fought me viciously as he thought I was a NARC, and made sure everyone knew it, not only in the neighborhood but also on the police force. I gave up on the legal system when it was realized that it was corrupt beyond repair, and my experiences thereafter became my novel The Symposium of Justice. Once it became known that I would not yield to my neighbors who wanted to buy and use marijuana we went into a stalemate since the law was technically on my side. So they sent their children after my children which is how the little boy spit on my little girl. My daughter has always been a very confident person, full of life, and the look on her face when she came home with spittle on the front of her shirt was one of the moments that could have shattered her for the rest of her life. The intention by the boys was to impose their will upon her with force and push her into social compliance. They were bigger and meaner and the message to my kids was that they would have to submit to the thuggish authority of the neighborhood bullies or suffer the consequences. So I packed my kids and their friends into our car and tracked down the bullies at their house where I “forcefully” made the guilty boy apologize to my daughter in front of his father—who had actually encouraged the behavior. About a month later some much older boys, from 18 to 20 years old gathered in front of our house across the street in a mob of about 30 young people and harassed my 9 to 10-year-old children for riding their bicycles on the sidewalk. My wife called me at work, so I rushed home and instantly engaged the boys in “aggressive confrontation.” The police never came, the owner of the house stayed inside looking out their upstairs window hoping that the fight would go their way, but it didn’t. The boys were forced to disperse in retreat. The next morning there was a broken egg at the end of my driveway where some smartass thinking they were tough threw an egg from across the street to land on my driveway behind our family car during the night. They were testing the waters to see if I would let it go. That night when the sun went down, I bought two dozen eggs and lunched them at the home blasting the windows and doors with slimy yoke and broken shells. The homeowners were in their living room watching TV, but never came to the window or even opened the door. And they certainly didn’t call the police, not with the amount of pot they had in their house which nobody wanted to address. The cop next door was friends with the owners of that home, and did not make a move either. Watching all this activity my children learned about justice in life, and what sometimes has to be done to get it. This is why my daughter exhausted from 600 plus miles of riding a motorcycle across the state of Ohio twice in two days struggled to keep the bike upright and conquer her exhaustion to arrive home save and sound. The whole point of riding the bike herself and not just sitting on the back with my son-in-law was so that she could prove to herself that she could achieve the feat. And she did. If I had interfered with her as an adult, I would have done her a disservice. It was my job when she was a child to interfere and kick the crap out of some neighborhood kids that were harassing her because I was teaching her not to give up…….as a father. But coming back from Cleveland, Ohio after a weekend film festival, she had to live up to what she had become as an adult. It was hard, I was worried she might not make it, but I was more worried about what would happen if she didn’t fight through it and conquer a lingering fear.

These thoughts and history are what went into the fearless nature of Rick Stevens in my novel Tail of the Dragon. When we arrived home, I again wrote pages and pages of dialogue and thoughts about what I had witnessed. I was proud of my daughter, and everyone who had traveled those roads with me that weekend. The climax for many would have been getting the award at the film festival. But for me, it was only a footnote. I like getting awards, and enjoy the company of people at those kinds of events. But it was the journey I remembered most from that weekend which is why there isn’t more footage of the actual festival in my video. For me, it was the boldness that my daughter tackled in her challenge of riding a motorcycle to Cleveland and back during a weekend on a learners permit at high-speed that mattered. The experience would have been denied to us if we stayed within the parameters of the law, as concocted by politicians. I have learned over the years such as in the situation with my neighbor and the many trips to court that I have personally endeavored in; that the law is more adequately used to restrict the lives of people more than it is dedicated to justice, or “fairness.” So I typically consider law as a second-hand notion. This attitude is reflected in my characters from Tail of the Dragon exceptionally well. It also makes it a unique work of thought. Readers of Tail of the Dragon get the rare opportunity to climb into the mind of outlaws like Rick and his wife Renée Stevens to discover aspects of themselves that long ago yielded to the parameters of fear that has been imposed upon them tragically. The idea of freedom is as foreign to them as the surface of Jupiter is to a villager in the Congo. It makes me proud when my family goes on trips like the one to the film festival with me and overcomes a number of obstacles to enjoy a fine meal in utter exhaustion just north of Columbus on a hot Sunday afternoon an hour and a half away from home.

Some might read what I’ve said here and think that I am a bad parent for encouraging my daughter to break the speed limit, and drive under improper endorsements. Those are the same type of people who spit on that same child and earned my wrath when the police had conspired with them to clear me from a neighborhood so that marijuana sales could flow without opposition. And it is that type of utter hypocrisy which causes Rick Stevens in Tail of the Dragon to thumb his nose at the government of The United States and take his fight to the death under the mantra “live free or die.” For Rick Stevens, he meant it. And the way to make the words come to paper came from rides like the one to a Cleveland film festival with my daughter who was stepping into her adulthood with the fearless conquest of obstacles that most cower from in trepidation only to punch through the other side in a life of illumination that shines through in virtually every action of human endeavor.

It was never my intention to grow up in a typical fashion to become a nice compliant adult that does whatever a political class determines in their infantile wisdom to be sufficient to the human experience. In that regard, I have always been on a quest for the “super human” experience. I have taught my children nothing short of living their lives as “super humans” themselves. And upon delivering my children into adulthood I am not done with parenting. Only now, the students are not my biological children but the inquiring minds of those who know there is more to life than what they see before them, and lack the faculties to meet that life. For such minds, being an average human will not be enough. They must become more so. For them, I present Rick Stevens and the greatest car chase in the history of the world in the novel Tail of the Dragon.

Glenn Beck’s New Book ‘Control-Exposing The Truth About Guns’: coming to the Cincinnati Freedom Expo April 19th

When Doc Thompson comes to speak at the Cincinnati Freedom Expo on April 19^th, 2013, he is going to bring with him copies of Glenn Beck’s new book titled Control-Exposing The Truth About Guns which isn’t released until April 30^th. Ann Becker is planning to offer the books in a raffle door prize as a chance to win for the guests who attend. Doc Thompson is the morning national radio host of The Blaze with his on-air partner Skip who will be in attendance with him.

41KH0Dh3mUL__SY300_

The Cincinnati Freedom Expo will be an excellent chance to get the new book well before anyone else in the country and the money raised for the raffle tickets will go toward a good cause announced at the event. Beck’s new book is timely, and very important. It’s all about the real story behind the progressive push for gun control.

When our founding fathers secured the Constitutional “right of the people to keep and bear arms,” they also added the admonition that this right SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

It is the only time this phrase appears in the Bill of Rights. So why aren’t more people listening?

History has proven that guns are essential to self-defense and liberty—but tragedy is a powerful force and has led many to believe that guns are the enemy, that the Second Amendment is outdated, and that more restrictions or outright bans on firearms will somehow solve everything.

They are wrong.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. In doing so, he takes on and debunks the common myths and outright lies that are often used to vilify guns and demean their owners:

The Second Amendment is ABOUT MUSKETS . . . GUN CONTROL WORKS in other countries . . . 40 percent of all guns are sold without BACKGROUND CHECKS . . . More GUNS MEAN more MURDER . . . Mass shootings are becoming more common . . . These awful MASSACRES ARE UNIQUE TO AMERICA . . . No CIVILIAN needs a “weapon of war” like the AR-15 . . . ARMED GUARDS in schools do nothing, just look at Columbine . . . Stop FEARMONGERING, no one is talking about TAKING YOUR GUNS AWAY.

Backed by hundreds of sources, this handbook gives everyone who cares about the Second Amendment the indisputable facts they need to reclaim the debate, defeat the fear, and take back their natural rights.

The book can be ordered in advanced at Amazon.

George Lang on 55 KRC with Brian Thomas: Success in West Chester, Ohio and why

It shouldn’t be astonishing to hear, but Brian Thomas of 55 KRC had difficulty hiding his surprise during an interview with George Lang, who is a trustee from West Chester, Ohio. Lang was fresh off a vote where he stood against the other two trustees on the board who wanted to file for a federal grant to build a new sidewalk in the community he represents. During the interview Lang explained to Thomas that building sidewalks was not a part of the core competency of local government and was irresponsible. Brian Thomas has a history of advocating such small government positions and was noticeably impressed by Lang in a conversation that should be the standard for every politician in America. Hear it for yourself at the clip below.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Lang’s comments is that he didn’t attempt to do as almost every politician has done for decades and take credit for the success of West Chester as a township due to his political leadership. Instead George Lang made it known that the success of West Chester is not because of any policies of government. The success of West Chester is not because of any law that was created by the trustees. The success of West Chester is because politicians like Lang have managed to create an environment where businesses can make money, which brings jobs to the township, creates tax revenue, and feeds the economic life blood of the community. Without jobs, there isn’t any money for anybody to spend on restaurants, shopping complexes, or on any form of charity. George Lang understands that the secret to success in any community is to keep government off businesses backs as much as possible so that a friendly commerce environment is conducive to growth.

It is very tempting for a typical politician to declare that the success of a community like West Chester is due to the construction of sidewalks, or the quality of the schools. But the truth is that communities are not built by government in any fashion, they are established for good or bad by the quality of the residents who live there. In the case of West Chester, where there is a pro business environment, investment makes sense to entrepreneurs. They come to West Chester to make money, not to serve some altruistic purpose. The only reason that a business would endeavor to set up a place of exchange where they offer goods or services is for the benefit of profit. The byproduct of that profit is in jobs provided to the community, and money to spend on other businesses. Without business, a community is a failure. There cannot be success if there is no business. If there are no jobs, there is no money for other businesses, and there are no taxes for the government to loot from. In essence, there is nothing without business.

Brian Thomas was surprised that George Lang understood this very basic economic principle, since it would appear that most of society at large has failed to come to grips with such an elementary idea. The school system Lakota in West Chester is one of the largest in all of Ohio, and they are proud of their Excellence with Distinction awards obtained for over a decade of consecutive years. The government workers at the school wish to believe that the cause of their excellence is in their wonderful skills as employees. But they are wrong. The cause is that the children who come to their schools and attend their classes are better than children from other classes in other schools. With government schools, one teacher is not better than another since they are all trained the same way and are motivated by the same profit structure. Collective bargaining in union contracts means that bad teachers get paid the same as good teachers so every school has good and bad teachers proportionately no matter what the school or the pay rates as pay is primarily dictated by years of service and not performance. This means that the elements that make one school better than another is the quality of the children who attend, and that quality starts in the home. In West Chester there are an above average number of homes with two parents, most of which have traditional families. Unemployment is low with government dependence on welfare being nearly non-existent. The children who show up at Lakota come from families that value private property and respect responsible behavior, and have parents who participate in children’s lives. As I have said many times, all the employees of Lakota could be eliminated with a RIF and replaced with employees fresh out of college from every position, and Lakota would still be ranked Excellent with Distinction. The children would perform the same, because the parents tend to care about their kids, and those parents tend to work in jobs in and around West Chester.

The quality of a community begins with the number of businesses in it, and the amount of money they can make. For proof look at any community anywhere in the world where government has stuck its nose into the affairs of entrepreneurs and it will quickly be noticed that these places have empty buildings with signs in them looking for suckers to lease them. But nobody in their right mind would sign a lease in a community that has a looting government that wishes to stick them on a cross to suck out their life in service to the altruistic aims of a pathetic name-plate addicted politician. Most of the time politicians attempt to do as all government does, especially schools–they take credit for the success and efforts of others with collective ownership. These types of politicians are like those football fans who leave a stadium after the quarterback of their favorite team throws a last second touchdown to win the game. Upon leaving these fans declare, “WE WON.” They are mistaken. The quarterback won with his individual effort. The fans simply sucked off his success to share in the glory of victory. Government schools do this all the time, and politicians are notorious for performing such social looting. They wish to believe that just because a business posts a profit after four quarters of activity that they had some input into that success because they built a sidewalk, or created some foolish zoning ordinance regulating signs and other forms of advertising. But the politician is actually worthless. All they can really do for their communities is fulfill their core competency obligations which is to protect private property. Anything more than that is theft and looting of other people’s effort.

George Lang is only one of three trustees in West Chester. One is a registered Democrat who is no different from the typical fan at a football game. They proclaim “they” win but the reality is that they only sit on their ass and watch others do important things. The other one is a registered Republican, but behaves like an extreme socialist from Greece. That particular politician is the kind of football fan that watches the game at home and falls asleep in their chair with a bag of nachos lying across their bloated belly and wakes up four hours after the game is over and declares, “WE WON.” Meanwhile the warriors on the field of battle who actually played the game have long showered and are at home playing video games on their Xbox unites. With only one trustee of any real worth understanding that creating a pro business friendly environment is the key to economic growth and community prosperity West Chester has thrived. If those other two trustees could be replaced with other politicians like George Lang the success West Chester could experience would be explosive. But any community could have success if they thought like George Lang. It is because they don’t that Brian Thomas was so surprised by an elected politician who actually understood that the key to success in politics is to sit down, shut up, and let the players on the field play the game. Stay out-of-the-way of business, and politicians will bring wealth to their communities. The more they tamper, the worse their economies will be.

Barack Obama’s ‘The Road We’ve Traveled’ : Support given to Fabian Socialism’s “Free Enterprise into ‘X’”

How dangerous, and to what extent is Barack Obama a threat to The United States? Well, if you happen to be a Fabian Socialist, he is a dream come true. But if you happen to be constitutionally minded traditionalist who takes great pride in the history of America, Obama might as well be Satan. Barack Obama appears to be so in love with Fabian Socialism that he named his Hollywood produced campaign video shown below after the famous book by socialist Stuart Chase, titled The Road We Are Traveling. Obama called his video The Road We’ve Traveled, hosted by none other than Tom Hanks. The comparison is more than a coincidence; it’s an insider’s nod to the kind of economic theory by Chase who helped give FDR’s New Deal its name – an act that Barack Obama reveres greatly.

The biggest difference between a Fabian Socialist and a regular socialist is that the Fabian believed in a long gradual, patient change to society rather than one brought about by revolution such as the method used in the U.S.S.R. to deliver that country to communism. Fabianists rather took the slow route which was the preferred method of Stuart Chase.

Fa·bi·an (fâ¹bê-en) adjective

1. a. Of or relating to the caution and avoidance of direct confrontation typical of the Roman general Quintus Fabius Maximus. b. Cautious or dilatory, as in taking action.

2. Of, relating to, or being a member of the Fabian Society, which was committed to gradual rather than revolutionary means for spreading socialist principles.
[Latin Fabiânus, after Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus.]

— Fa¹bi·an noun

— Fa¹bi·an·ism noun

— Fa¹bi·an·ist noun[1]

Fabian Society, British socialist educational organization that advocates social change through democratic reforms. It was founded in London in 1884 by a group of intellectuals who rejected the Marxist theory of class struggle but wished to promote equality through collective ownership and democratic control of the nation’s resources. Devoted primarily to education and social research, the Fabians never constituted themselves as a political party. However, in 1900 they participated in founding the Labour Representation Committee, now the Labour Party.[2]

Stuart Chase (March 8, 1888, Somersworth, New Hampshire – November 16, 1985) was an American economist and engineer trained at MIT.^[1] His writings covered topics as diverse as general semantics and physical economy. Chase’s thought was shaped by Henry George, Thorstein Veblen and Fabian socialism.^[2] Chase spent his early political career supporting “a wide range of reform causes: the single tax, women’s suffrage, birth control and socialism.” ^[2] Chase’s early books The Tragedy of Waste (1925) and Your Money’s Worth (1928) were notable for their criticism of corporate advertising and their advocacy of consumer protection.^[3]

Chase was among the dozen or more prominent members of the temporary committee which conducted the affairs of the Technical Alliance which later formed into Technocracy Incorporated, (Technocracy movement).^[4][5]

Although not a Marxist, Chase admired the planned economy of the Soviet Union, being impressed with it after a 1927 visit. Chase stated that “The Russians, in a time of peace, have answered the question of what an economic system is for”.^[2]

It has been suggested that he was the originator of the expression a New Deal, which became identified with the economic programs of American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He wrote a cover story in The New Republic entitled “A New Deal for America”, during the week that Roosevelt gave his 1932 presidential acceptance speech promising a new deal, but whether Roosevelt’s speechwriter Samuel Rosenman saw the magazine is not clear.

His 1938 book The Tyranny of Words was an early (perhaps the earliest, predating Hayakawa) and influential popularization of Alfred Korzybski‘s general semantics.

Chase supported the isolationist movement and was against US entry in World War II, advocating this position in his 1939 book The New Western Front.^[1]

In the 1960s, Chase lent his support to the Johnson administration’s Great Society policies.^[1]

Chase is famous for the quote at the end of his book A New Deal, “Why should Russians have all the fun remaking a world?” — a reference to the “socialist experiment” in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).^[6]

He is quoted in S. I. Hayakawa‘s Language in Thought and Action as having said, “Common sense is that which tells us the world is flat.”

On pages 95 and 96 of The Road We Are Traveling, under the heading of “Free Enterprise into ‘X'”, Chase listed 18 characteristics of political economy that he had observed among^[8] Russia, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain between 1913^[9] and 1942. Chase labeled this phenomenon “… something called ‘X'”.^[7] Characteristics include the following:

A strong, centralized government.
An executive arm growing at the expense of the legislative and judicial arms.
The control of banking, credit and security exchanges by the government.
The underwriting of employment by the government, either through armaments or public works.
The underwriting of social security by the government – old-age pensions, mothers’ pensions, unemployment insurance, and the like.
The underwriting of food, housing, and medical care, by the government.
The use of deficit spending to finance these underwritings.
The abandonment of gold in favor of managed currencies.
The control of foreign trade by the government.
The control of natural resources.
The control of energy sources.
The control of transportation.
The control of agricultural production.
The control of labor organizations.
The enlistment of young men and women in youth corps devoted to health, discipline, community service and ideologies consistent with those of the authorities.
Heavy taxation, with special emphasis on the estates and incomes of the rich.
Control of industry without ownership.
State control of communications and propaganda.

It is clear that after watching Barack Obama for nearly five years as of this writing, he is attempting to bring to America the implementation of all 18 items on Stuart Chase’s list. For political insiders, who Obama’s title for his campaign video was a wink and a nod to their real intentions as most Americans had no idea what a Fabian Socialist was, the intentions are extraordinarily clear. Most people don’t even understand what the history of the Labour Party in England was, which was the party of Tony Blair who got along so very well with George W. Bush, so they won’t understand the subtle messages Barack Obama’s team used to communicate their intentions to the Fabian loyalists who currently make up so much of the current federal government in modern America. The American people have been sideswiped by a modern president that is clearly working from the playbook of Fabian Socialists like Stuart Chase. But the goal of the Fabians is not only as deep as Obama, but go back to the time of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnston. It is the Fabian Socialists who put their mark on The New Deal ushering in the era of “Social Security” and the “Great Society” which gave us Medicaid and Medicare. Those programs are now off the table of discussion as most Americans have found themselves using those socialist government concepts in some fashion, and as they will all say – “Of course I’m going to use the program. I paid into it, so I’m going to get out of it what I can.” Thus…………you can see the work of the Fabian Socialist—patient, calculating, manipulative, smug—knowing that once they made America addicted to socialism, voters would never turn it away. The same mentality has been at work behind Obamacare. The goal is not affordable health care, or even helping the poor. The goal is gaining federal control of 1/5^th of the American economy so that the government can dictate what we eat, where we go, what kind of jobs we perform, and what type of relationships we conduct ourselves with. The recent endeavors of Mayor Bloomberg in New York City are just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to what the Fabian Socialists wish to do with the government of our American Republic. In the video below, Glenn Beck provides video research into more aspects of Fabian Socialist, Stuart Chase, and their connection to modern-day President Obama.

The strategies of Stuart Chase were not the intentions of The American Revolution, our Declaration of Independence, or our state and federal Constitutions. Rather, Fabian Socialists have sought a legal way to supersede our traditional governments with scams designed to erode away our sovereignty slowly over a long period of time. The success in America that built the skyline of present day New York City, or virtually any business in The United States from “old money” came from the laissez-faire capitalism tendencies during the period directly after the Civil War. What the Fabian Socialists originating from London, England did with their version of socialism has been far more destructive than their direct attempts to destroy America in either The Revolutionary War or the War of 1812. Through the progressive era just ahead of Stuart Chase’s time, they have managed with patience to put the brakes on American economic development by saddling our politics with gradual elements of socialism aimed at specific demographic voting blocs. The aims of the 18 items listed by Stuart Chase are being actively pursued through the American education system, nearly every government office, and nearly every business in America who must deal with federal audits and inspectors to whatever degree. Fabian Socialism is in the life of virtually every American in every corner of the country, and they were put there with the Trojan Horse of kindness, compassion, and manipulative schemes. They have been furthered in recent times with videos like the one produced by the Obama White House delivered with the pleasant voice of Tom Hanks and presented in a way that any logical viewer would conclude to be reasonable, and even beneficial. But what the nice voice of Tom Hanks does not tell you with Obama’s subtle nod to one of his economic mentors in Stuart Chase was that David Axelrod, and the others who appeared in the video are the modern equivalents of the traditional Fabian Socialists. They don’t call themselves such things by name for fear that the American public would reject them, but they believe in the kind of government Stuart Chase discussed in his book, The Road We Are Traveling. So now dear reader, you know as Paul Harvey used to say, the rest of the story when you see propaganda films done about Barack Obama titled, The Road We’ve Traveled. Obama intends to say that the road mentioned in Chase’s book has already happened. In Stuart’s day America was traveling down that road, but under Barack Obama, Stuart’s goals have been obtained. That is why Obama’s public relation handlers changed the title from “we are” to “we’ve.” So observe what the enemy of capitalism is all about and their weapons which are in those 18 points. They are already here, and will stay unless they are defeated and vanquished. That is the reality of the Obama Presidency and the hidden intentions of its administration.

Doc Thompson at The Cincinnati Freedom Expo: Third time’s a charm!

883218_10151579628380520_1951080891_o Doc Thompson from The Blaze Radio Network is confirmed to be one of the speakers at the Cincinnati Freedom Expo at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center on April 19^th 2013. Ann Becker president of the Cincinnati Tea Party and Doc Thompson sealed the deal after Doc was able to clear his schedule for the event. It took some effort as Doc Thompson was filling in for Glenn Beck’s show in Dallas, Texas during the first week of April, and was extremely hard to get a hold of. Doc is the usual fill in for the Glenn Beck Program when Beck is off on vacation, which keeps Doc busy not only doing his own morning show on The Blaze from 6 to 9 AM each morning Monday through Friday, but Beck’s normal 9 AM to noon slot as well. Beck’s radio show has a footprint of well over 7.5 million weekly listeners so even though it’s difficult to do 6 hours of radio per day on those occasions, the effort is well worth the expense.

For those who are coming to the Cincinnati Freedom Expo and want to get pictures taken with Doc, be prepared to wear your tallest shoes. Doc stands over 6’ 4” and dwarfs most normal sized people, so keep that in mind. Doc is usually very gracious about doing those kinds of publicity things, so come prepared. The Cincinnati Freedom Expo will have a casual atmosphere where radio celebrities like Doc and 55 KRC’s Brian Thomas will be accessible which makes it unique for such a large event. Not often is such high-caliber talent able to interact with the spectators in a causal way, but that is the intention of Ann Becker’s approach to the Expo, which she describes as being essentially a giant Tea Party meeting. The early rumblings from the organizers believe that this event will become the CPAC of the Midwest, as it appears to be shaping into. Next year the talk has already evolved into making the event an all day spectacle to satisfy the intense interest. This year the event begins at 7 PM and should wrap up around 10 PM, and the content providers are filling up with the addition of Doc Thompson. FreedomWorks is hosting a booth, and The Tenth Amendment Center will also be prominently present just to name a few.

Doc Thompson is one of the most entertaining radio talk hosts anywhere on the radio today which accounts for his consistent success. His brand is difficult for modern radio producers as he tends to have an old-fashioned sense of responsible world view but mixes it with sincere yet over-the-top comedy bits laced with satire. Doc has had a colorful history bragging often about the many radio jobs he’s been fired from. He has worked in Richmond, Virginia, Lincoln, Nebraska, Las Vegas, Nevada and Cincinnati, Ohio to name a few. It was when he was at 700 WLW that he and I developed a friendship while exposing the horrors and hypocrisy of public education with dozens of broadcasts reaching 38 states and parts of Canada living to this very day on YouTube. His most recent job was with CBS radio in Detroit before moving to The Blaze Radio Network at the start of 2013 working directly for Glenn Beck. He was instrumental in some of those stations winning 5 Marconi Awards, the equivalent of the Academy Award for radio excellence.

Making people laugh is important to Doc. His medium of choice is of course radio. He dabbles in many styles with sarcasm and satire usually present. Although he is candid and forthright he loves good spirited practical jokes. And he is not afraid of controversy as can be seen the following video regarding North Korea’s recent attempts to beat the drums of war.

When I first announced the Cincinnati Freedom Expo here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom I provided a list of all the types of people who shouldn’t come to the Expo, and given the length of the list, one would wonder if there was anybody left in the entire world who should come. CLICK TO REVIEW. The freedom movement does not fit nicely into the modern view of things from either the Republican side or the Democrat side. I wouldn’t even call it Libertarian. It is more of a philosophy shift away from the political emphasis which the media has steered social concern towards Plato–back to the epistemology of Aristotle. The current trend has philosophically migrated toward Plato for many centuries most accurately summed up in the great work The Republic. The philosophic idea of America rejected Plato’s form of republic and instead formed a republic based on Aristotle’s ideas of reason. These thoughts elude 99% of society currently, so the point is not one of political sway, but of re-teaching society what social progressives have sought to destroy in foundation philosophy. The best way to describe the current freedom movement is to point inquiring minds to The American Adventure at The Epcot Center in Disney World. For me personally, I consider that exhibit sacred as it allows visitors to understand what the kinds of people who are attending the Cincinnati Freedom Expo are fighting for. It is that type of America that Glenn Beck is fighting for, and why he has hired the unique talents of Doc Thompson. It is that America that I defend when I write here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom and it is the heart and soul of the Tea Party movement of which Ann Becker currently represents in the Cincinnati area.

The Freedom Movement is not for everyone. Recently I explained to some of my extended family members who are staunch Republicans that future presidential candidates like John Kasich, Chris Christy, and other machine politicians that fall under the tent of the John Boehner types, are not desirable for my support just because they can win elections by manipulating the masses to vote for them. My picks would be people like Dr. Benjamin Carson, Rand Paul, or the skeletal remains of Ayn Rand. I explained to them that I am to the political right of the current political right. I don’t consider myself at all a radical, but compared to the current Platonic political landscape, I am a radical in favor of capitalism. Of those three candidates, one is a man of color who is being condemned by the political left—(so much for civil rights), another is a white guy from Kentucky with a tendency to filibuster in the Senate, and the other is a deceased woman who is wiser as a skeleton than the flesh and blood of all Washington D.C. put together. All those candidates would be better than what current politics has to offer. The people coming to the Cincinnati Freedom Expo know it too, which is why they are coming to be around like-minded people and hear from people like Doc Thompson who are on the front of the freedom fighting movement. It is toward that commitment The Blaze under Glenn Beck’s direction is dedicated and why Doc Thompson is now a direct employee of Glenn Beck—to advance the cause of freedom in a way that is unique to Thompson’s radio style.

That style will now be on exhibit at the Cincinnati Freedom Expo as the feature speaker. If you have not registered for your tickets yet, then you better do so now. Starting Monday, the radio ads heard above will be broadcast on 55 KRC where Brian Thomas hosts his own radio show during Doc Thompson’s usual time slot. It is expected that the tickets will go fast once they are made public over the radio to the target audience. And now that Doc Thompson is scheduled, he will be talking about the Expo on his own show which is national. So it is advisable that you register before Monday to ensure that you will be able to get into the Expo. For more information on the Expo and the other speakers attending, CLICK HERE.

Ann has told me that I will be in the press box, so I expect to spend most of my time there. Feel free to come up and say hello. I don’t get to visit with all my readers here in person very much, so this Expo will be a great opportunity to touch base. And remember, especially ladies, if you want a picture next to Doc Thompson, be sure to wear heels otherwise it will be hard to frame your head in a picture with Doc due to his extreme height. Again, secure your tickets, mark your calendar, and be ready to arrive early. Be prepared for a riveting speech by Doc Thompson who has a lot of stories to tell about the fight for freedom and the cost of that fight. It will be an evening that will resonate for many years, and start a new trend in Cincinnati dedicated to the very, very few who reject the current philosophy of political order in favor of a new philosophy that embraces real freedom for only the third time in world history.

Third time’s a charm!

Donna Campbell’s Fight in Lebanon: “The Power of Pull” attacks capitalism with a “Sign Czar”

Why is the Tea Party always fighting for smaller government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets? Why is the Tea Party categorized by thugs, goons, government looters, despots, scum bags, rent-a-cops, union leaders, progressives, Fabian socialists, communists, school teachers, scandalous judges, kangaroo courts, money grabbing attorneys, left-leaning reporters, Obama supporters, and greenie weenies as being a terrorist organization? Because the Tea Party wants to do the right thing in government, they want to stop the corruption and otherwise scandalous behavior that normally is associated with government and return America to a time of mythical honesty conceived by The United States Constitution. Thus begins the story of Donna Campbell, one of the founding members of the Lebanon Tea Party, entrepreneur of the Liberty Tax Service for 7 straight years and area developer who has been so successful that her aggressive marketing strategies have allowed her business to out produce her local rival H&R Block which has been in business for more than 50 years and is a much larger company. Donna has found herself in court on and off for over the last year not because she robbed a bank, or urinated on a police car—but because she has been successful, and there are powers in the City of Lebanon who wish to see her put out of business and crushed because she’s a threat to them.

Not that a rival company in Lebanon would put money into the pockets of the political machine to set in motion the story of Donna Campbell, but it wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened under similar circumstances. Such happenings are difficult to prove and most of the parties lie under oath in a court of law anyway, so there is no way to bring such information to the light of day. But the evidence speaks for itself, and is incriminating enough to paint a picture of how government colludes to pick winners and losers using their power and influence to put people like Donna out of business if they discover that she is not part of the power structure they wish to support. The unspoken rule among many business owners is that they feel they must contribute to politicians in some fashion or another through charity events or direct campaign funding so to keep the parasites off their backs in some future time. In the case of Liberty Tax Service the success of her business has caught the eyes of power in a negative way, and they have come after her in a very aggressive manner. The story you are about to read happens all the time. It has happened with Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who invented a cure for cancer and has had to fight for 15 years against the FDA, it has happened to car companies who go up against the Big Three auto manufacturers, it has happened to Microsoft. What has happened to Donna Campbell has happened to just about anyone who comes up with a better way of doing something where more established organizations who contribute more money into the political machines of local, state, and national politics use their power and influence to crush their rivals because they can’t compete directly.

I have written about Liberty Tax Services before as the West Chester location was recently pulled across the coals for violating the sign ordinance in that community, a case that ended up being the topic of much debate on the Scott Sloan show with trustee George Lang defending Liberty Tax Service. The issue was that Donna’s businesses have been using human billboards to dress up and engage motorists at the roads urging them to file their tax returns at her establishments. The method worked as Liberty Tax Service has enjoyed thriving results. In West Chester the zoning commission determined that Liberty Tax Service was violating their signing regulations by using human billboards. Click the link below to review that case and listen to the WLW broadcast.

https://overmanwarrior.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/west-chester-trustees-hurt-a-business-george-lang-speaks-out-in-defense-of-capitalism/

Well the same thing has occurred in Lebanon, which is roughly 15 miles to the east of West Chester, Ohio, only to a much more aggressive extent. Lebanon as a small city still enjoys the political pull of small town America as most everyone in political office knows each other, so collaborations are common in such places. It didn’t take long after Donna’s Liberty Tax Service Lebanon location caught the ridicule of the city’s “Sign Czar” after posting more tax returns than H&R Block according to IRS data, to begin to feel the heat of city government. Lebanon actually employs a retired police officer with the full-time position to regulate signage within the city complete with a car, computer and lots of time to take pictures and send out certified letters regarding violations of sign ordinances. SAM_0420

The Sign Czar began engaging in harassment of Liberty Tax Service by exchanging dialogue with Donna’s marketing employee who did not show the retired officer much respect, according to court documents. The Sign Czar took it upon himself to deliberately target Liberty Tax Services marketing strategies for reasons only the Czar can understand leading to the exchanges with the Liberty Tax Service employee who boasted at times how successful their efforts were. This made the Czar even more vigilant. The Sign Czar under the authority of the City of Lebanon began to confiscate Donna’s signs all over town and dispose of them.

The final straw occurred when Donna had a sign maker print up 100 signs which went out over night before the Sign Czar began his shift at 7 AM. This angered the Czar and he used the offices of politics to execute his desires convincing the City to proceeded attacking Donna with a summons to municipal court for sign violations and a fine of $500 per day. This left Donna to hire the legal services of Eric Deters to defend herself along with the support of city council member Matt Rodriquez who informed her that Lebanon City Hall was awaiting the outcome of the West Chester/Liberty Tax case concerning the sign wavers. If West Chester Township was successful in removing the sign wavers from Liberty Tax Services, then Lebanon intended to follow. But the harassment of Donna did not stop as the Sign Czar intensified his efforts without a care for the 10-15 employees who directly worked for Donna. The intention by the Sign Czar was to put her out of business, his actions made that clear. The Sign Czar over the last year determined to confiscate any sign put out by Liberty Tax Services any time anywhere. Even when Donna had permission from other business owners to put a single sign in front of their buildings, the Sign Czar determined that it went against the city code. This same Sign Czar allowed H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt and other non-competing businesses in Lebanon to have signs out that were not directly in front of their businesses as can be seen by the photos. The city has kept the case alive to monitor what Donna did for the 2013 tax season. Donna attempted to legally comply with the unusual restrictions by saying “Aaron’s Rent recommends Liberty Tax” and place the signs in front of Aaron’s place of business. The City called Donna’s attorney and stated they wanted those removed also. The city also notified Donna’s landlord in a direct attempt to manipulate the landlord’s relationship against Liberty Tax Service. The City of Lebanon appeared to stop at nothing to put Donna out of business in their city, and West Chester has shown nearly the same animosity………but why. SAM_0429

This is why there is a Tea Party and why they stand for the kind of things that they do. Donna should not have to butter the bread of city officials in either Lebanon or West Chester to do business in those communities. If her signage is a turn-off to her customers, then she will go out of business, it’s as easy as that. Yet her sign wavers standing in costume out in front of her businesses have worked, making Liberty Tax Service exceed the filings of her rivals which is what productive businesses should always endeavor to do. But Donna didn’t grease the gears of the political machines, and for that she has paid dearly. To her credit, rather than cave under the pressure and offer the Sign Czar some extra money on the side, free tax services, or any other type of activity that might be considered bribery, she instead helped start the Lebanon Tea Party to help combat these kinds of evils which stand in the way of free markets where better ideas like hers can thrive under a capitalist system serving as the cornerstone of the American economy. This activity has made her an enemy of government instead of an asset. The government using the Sign Czar as the public mask of civility targeted Donna for elimination for the simple fact that she did not share in the beliefs of their brand of kangaroo court justice, where winners and losers are picked by the gods of government and the puny brains of retired police officers who do the job not for money, but the thrill to impose their will of enforcement upon the lives of innocence to fill the personal void of character for which they seem to lack. SAM_0433

In America, people like Donna should be celebrated, not drug through court with fearful arm twisting and threats of $500 a day fines because she didn’t try to go out of her way to make the Sign Czar happy. The public servants in the case of Lebanon and West Chester against Liberty Tax Services forget that it is they who serve Donna, not the other way around. Donna creates real jobs with real worth by offering a service that her customers truly desire. The young people who dress up in costume to advertise with dances and other vigorous ambition to direct business into Donna’s establishments are paid by their performance. On the other hand the City of Lebanon can only offer a job paid for by the tax payers to create jobs that are not needed, such as in the Sign Czar who has nothing to do but collect a pension from his years as a cop, and make more money from the government by harassing independent business people whom he decides he does not like for whatever reason. It is because of stories like this one that the Tea Party exists, still—and stands strong against the kind of anti-capitalist behavior exhibited above. People do not exist for government to live, thrive and enjoy lives of liberty under the toils of entrepreneurs like Donna Campbell. Rather, it’s supposed to be the other way around. The Sign Czar if he wanted to make himself useful should help Donna put out her signs and if the marketplace decided that she did not use discretion and restrain herself, then her business would fail as a result. It’s not up to some pin head bureaucrat to decide if Donna fails at business or not, which is the case in the City of Lebanon. It is for this reason that the Tea Party is still strong, and actually growing because people like Donna are sick of being pushed around, and they just aren’t going to take it anymore. And they shouldn’t have to. Government does not dictate to the people who elect them, they are not divine leaders with infinite wisdom. They are public servants and nothing more. If they do not help people like Donna they are an immoral impediment to the health and well-being of any economy, therefore marking themselves as threats to human civilization. For that reason, the Tea Party strives to crush such opposition to capitalism and return America back to an era where freedom is enjoyed, and the best and brightest can succeed in a marketplace not controlled by government sloths, but by the will and limitations of the individual and their private ambitions to drive the engines of society ever more toward horizons only imagined in the entrepreneurial activity of Americans always looking for a competitive edge. Building a better mousetrap that can succeed where before there was nothing but an empty building and a landlord who needs to lease the space to a brilliant mind willing to forge a path through the labyrinth of red tape known as the modern age of doing business, is what makes unemployment figures decrease. It is in this that America is successful or individuals like Donna are flourishing. The City of Lebanon instead evoked The Power of Pull to determine success or failure, and that is a violation to logic that cannot be tolerated. (CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON “THE POWER OF PULL”) Thank goodness Donna Campbell has decided to fight back, because it is due to people like her that the America Flag still is red, white and blue with fifty stars and stripes instead of a red hammer and sickle evoked from a long vanished enemy that never went away after the Berlin Wall fell in Eastern Europe during 1989. Rather, they moved to Lebanon, Ohio in an attempt at a new regime against capitalism—but instead ran into an immovable force in the spirit of Donna Campbell and her Liberty Tax Service.

Making of ‘Tail of the Dragon’: The philosophy of an Übermensch from the back of a motorcycle

When I was writing Tail of the Dragon I envisioned that I was working on a populist oriented novel that would be a throw-back to the kind of films I enjoyed as a youth like Smokey and the Bandit and Hooper complete with wild antics, car chases galore, and nonstop action. I can proudly report that those elements were successful. Yet while I was writing Tail of the Dragon the thought did cross my mind I was doing something unique that wasn’t quite so populist resulting in early reviews comparing my work to that of Ayn Rand which prompted me to go and read her novels to understand why. It was my publisher that made those first comparisons and informed me that my title wouldn’t be listed under general fiction, but philosophy due to the nature of the story. In hindsight I understand what they were getting at. Tail of the Dragon essentially does with car chases what a book I greatly admire did as a work of philosophy called Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance did as a travel story—it explores concepts of philosophy in the context of events occurring on the back of a motorcycle. In Zen, the author Robert Pirsig traveled with his son on a cross-country motorcycle trip to discover aspects of himself that were otherwise obscured by day-to-day reality. In my Tail of the Dragon Rick and Renee Stevens do something similar except they find themselves locked in a liberianesque type battle for their very lives at speeds of over 200 miles an hour in the greatest car chase ever told. I suppose that if I had just wrote a story in a populist fashion that my results might have been as intended—a modern homage to The Dukes of Hazzard or virtually any Burt Reynolds film. But I did extensive research in writing the novel putting my wife and I on several long distance road trips to scout out the locations I would write about in telling the story of Rick and Renee Stevens and their super human struggle to live their lives authentically against a rules based society locked in sacrifice to the many systems of existence. For the many readers who have read Tail of the Dragon and wondered how many of the locations mentioned in the novel were real, I invite at this time for you to ride on the back of a motorcycle as we did the research for the book and see for yourself how Rick and Renee Stevens came to life by watching the short documentary style video below. Part I is a series of videos retracing the steps that put life into the Tail of the Dragon novel and made it a story more akin to Ayn Rand’s Übermensch novels than Burt Reynolds classic action/comedy, which turned out to be a natural byproduct of motorcycle riding in harsh weather conditions.

Rick and Renee began their journey as a middle-aged couple with a grown child and an intense desire to do some of the things they had suppressed for many years. The novel essentially starts at the hotel Park Vista in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. In the sequences leading up to their arrival at the hotel, the descriptions of them arriving at the hotel in the pouring rain can be seen for their origin. When my wife and I visited this site looking for a plausible way to get the main characters into the action of the story with proper motive, it rained on us the entire time. In the video the unique features of the Park Vista can be seen clearly—and the views out every window are extremely dramatic, each complete with their own balcony.

Leaving the Park Vista for the actual Tail of the Dragon which is over 70 miles away by road, but less than 30 miles as a crow flies, it is impossible to arrive at the mouth of The Dragon in North Carolina without climbing the mountains nearly a mile above sea level putting us easily in the clouds. This is essentially the same route that Rick and his wife took in the novel their first time to the Tail of the Dragon which is a mystical road located on the western frontier of the Great Smoky Mountains. The road and terrain changes from Gatlinburg, Tennessee where the Park Vista resides to the Cherokee reservation town in North Carolina are some of the most extreme on planet Earth. In a very short distance particularly on the back of a motorcycle in the pouring rain like we experienced it, the plant life and atmospheric changes were extreme. As seen in the video once we crossed through the mountains and arrived in Cherokee we were able to pull off at a rest area and cross a unique suspension bridge that extended across a small river that runs through town. We sought shelter from the rain for a bit in a gift shop before resuming our journey just a bit more to the south then directly west for our destination.

The Crossroads of Time is a motorcycle resort residing at the corner of what has become known as the Moonshine 28 and the Tail of the Dragon respectably RT 129 and RT 28. This is where Rick Stevens has the race with the Lamborghini and makes the bet with Killboy to make a speedy run up the dangerous and winding road known world-wide. By the time my wife and I arrived at The Cross Roads of Time we had been on our motorcycle for many hours in the pouring spring rain and were freezing from the chilly air of late April. In the video my wife could be seen drying out and eating chicken strips at the bar and grill located at the Crossroads. It was from that seat where the first elements of the novel began to come together in my mind as I scribbled notes on my hands since all the paper I brought with me was soaking wet. Later back at the hotel I would more formalize my observations after the hard day of riding around the entire national park of The Great Smokey Mountains ending our long journey much later from the Crossroads at a wax museum at the very start of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Since the rain was so intense I kept my camera packed away and didn’t get much footage while riding the motorcycle, a situation that I was able to correct in my Part II video coming up in the next article.

Motorcycle riding in the Smoky Mountains is a uniquely American thing to do especially under adverse conditions. In my novel Tail of the Dragon, it was the perfect backdrop for my story of two people who decide that they are going to rebel against a system of living that has threatened to crush them mentally their entire lives—and dare to break away from the invisible chains that bind us all day by day slowly from cradle to grave. I did not intend to move away from the populist plot I had worked out in my head, but when on a motorcycle pushing your own limits and stepping out of all personal safety zones, stories begin to tell themselves and as an author the task becomes in plucking such events from the air and capturing them in a bottle for others to enjoy—or learn from. Thankfully, many have which is all I ever wanted. Every time I get the reports from my publisher of the book sales I enjoy knowing that readers are sharing in that captured magic residing in that bottle discovered on trips like the one seen above. I am happy to share a little bit about how the book came to life in reality with footage collected during the research phase of the novel, and provide nourishment to the inquisitive minds of the book’s growing fan base. In Part II, I will get into a bit more footage as my daughter and son-in-law were able to join me which provided the opportunity to capture some rather spectacular footage on the back of a motorcycle and show how the words that ended up in my novel Tail of the Dragon came to be the work of the Übermensch (overman).

The ‘Cold Dead Hand’ Video From Lost Thoughtless Brains: Hypocritical ideas from those “comfortably numb”

The Jim Carrey satire against Charlton Heston, southern culture, and the Second Amendment titled Cold Dead Hands is a blessing in disguise for those of us on the more conservative side of politics. It is good to see the mind of opponents for what they truly are without the public relations facades that often conceal the true activist nature of the subject in question. The radical goof balls on the left expect conservatives to take it when they dish out character assassinations, but they don’t expect it in return. In Carrey’s case he took a shot at a majority of America and their love of freedom guaranteed by The Second Amendment. The public knows Carrey has made a living off violence in his films, namely his use of guns in the film The Mask and a film career that really got off the ground when he appeared as a drug addict in the fifth Dirty Harry film with Clint Eastwood titled The Dead Pool. Guns have been good to Carrey, and watching him turn against them speaks openly about the hypocrisy of the left and the current culture of progressive Hollywood and the types of things they believe. The left will never attack Carrey’s radicalism shown in his video or the disgraceful rendition of asserting that Charlton Heston is trapped in some eternal purgatory because he is still holding onto his guns. Even when progressive leftists attack members of the conservative right, the right is attacked even further when they express outrage.

Over the last couple of days I received two emails from people who frequently read my work here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom and took note of some of my recent articles where I expressed outrage of my own. In both cases, they feel that indignation on my part is misplaced—and uncivilized, and that I should just suppress my thoughts for the ridiculous common good. Here are those emails along with my response.

C’mon Rich,

Looked at a recent blog of yours and found this
———
As a reader here, and casual participant, you can trust that I will not disappear into a void of oblivion because I set out in this war to win it, not to come to a drawl, or shake hands and make a deal. I set out to destroy my enemy—those who openly exploit children for their own selfish progressive desires.
———-
Why so violent?

And quit crying over the “Kroger survey” and stick with arguments that have some logic.

Maybe Kelly Kohls gets so much flack from friends of educators because she aligns herself with you. She loses me in her presentations as soon as she looks to you, manning the video camera, for backup facts.

I do think you need to change the tenor of your rhetoric. You seem to begging for physical confrontation and the search for educational solutions needs to avoid that.

William Schmidt

————————————————————————————————————–

I told you I am done with public education. I see them as a threat to our next generations because of the left leaning tendency of what they teach. If there were more balanced world views, I’d feel differently. But that’s not the case. Profit based strategies need to be the future of education as it tends to root out the good from the bad.

Since people have the memory span of paper clips, I have to remind them of the Kroger Survey for context. You are likely to see and read it at least 100 to 200 more times in the months to come. That was my bench mark of the type of people who support public education where I realized who supported the education system as it is and why.

You seem to ignore the comments of Becki in the Kelly Kohls incident. You pick what you want and paint things up the way you wish them to be. I don’t like to see people pushed around, and I see that happening a lot in public education from employees who forget that the tax payers are their boss.

Kelly or anybody else has their choice whether to align themselves with me. Obviously you are used to dealing with other types of people, because I don’t have a shortage who wish to do so.

You can speculate on my aims, but you can bet that there is a reason for everything.

Thanks for writing and showing me your mind. There is a lot there; I can understand your frustration.

Have a nice Easter,

Rich

————————————————————————————————————–

Dear Rich Hoffman, (as written spelling errors and all)

I do empathize strongly with Gen X.

1.But you people claim to have manners whilst minimalising racism?

2.You claim to have class while bashing on LITERALLY ENTIRE GENERATIONS?

3. You claim that Gen Z is the end of humanity, based on what? Your interpretations of the potential of a bunch of >10 years-olds?

4. You mock science for modern warnings about global disaster, but you long for the days of the cold war when nuclear annihilation was imminent?

You’re a bunch of jackasses. For a guy who mocks younger generations for being weak, you seem to have some pretty strong “mommy” issues. Newsflash, your generation was neither the first, nor the last generation to have broken families in it. Pussy.

Jason Ibanez

———————————————————————————————————————-

Who me? I am what I eat. And you are a snot nosed punk.

Rich

There are a lot more of those types of emails, but they happen to have come through within a short time of each other the other day while I was thinking about the Jim Carrey video. They are derived from the same kind of culture where the progressive left steps up and punches the conservative right in the face then runs off not expecting to be hit back. In the case of those emails when I am called derogatory names, or a union representative uses the word “war” to describe their plight against the tax payer it makes me angry, and I direct the anger where appropriate.

The Carrey video and the video above where progressive analysis is given praising the anti gun message, the commentator is happy and dancing on the grave of Charlton Heston because Carrey represents the progressive beliefs of that particular pundit. So it is only fair that those of us with conservative beliefs do the same when necessary and beat on the war drums ourselves when provoked. In that regard it is healthy to give progressives back what they dish out and then some, to teach them that it is not appropriate to use force, or coercion of any kind to advance a political agenda, which is what progressives are adamantly committed to. However it is not my fault that the generations before me who happened to be conservative were as Jason Ibanez declared above, allowing progressive to punch them without getting it back. Those days are over.

Jim Carrey probably does believe what he says about The Second Amendment. He does not connect the dots of his career with the rights of the First Amendment to play characters that speak out of his butt (literally) and to use guns like he did in The Mask to boost his career. The Hollywood culture which has been consumed by progressive Democrats, just as Ayn Rand warned about with Walt Disney and many others (CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF) is awash in hypocrisy in much the same way that public education believes they are on the moral side of goodness by teaching forced collectivism and anti-private property instruction against community tax payers. Most of the time the activists like the two email writers above, or Jim Carrey in his attack against the image of Charlton Heston fail to see how their actions in the microcosm are shaped by events in the macrocosm. They only look at their small piece of the pie and expect all of society to adhere to their viewpoint even if the cost is a loss of personal freedom, Constitutional revision, or the destruction of a movie legend’s memory.

When Hollywood attacks itself, as Carrey is doing against the recollection of Heston, the battle lines are clear. The difference is that now conservatives have learned that taking the abuse and mockery from the progressive left will not be tolerated. Carrey may not see the immediate impact of his actions against his next couple of films, but he has changed the way people see him. Before this incident I was a fan of his. I doubt I’ll ever watch another one of his films just as I haven’t seen a George Clooney film in about 10 years. I cannot watch those types of actors anymore knowing that they stand against the personal beliefs that I have, and when they remind me of it in such a glorious fashion, they dig their own grave—because I’m not alone. Many people think the way I do; they just don’t speak their thoughts. And if I didn’t know that, I wouldn’t even bother with this site.

The flyover states that Jim Carrey insulted in his video made him the star that he is today and those people will reject Carrey in the future. It will have an impact on his box office totals. Jim Carrey has successfully taken himself as an A List actor and put himself in the mind of America as an activist equivalent to Sean Penn, an actor that is impossible to watch without thinking of his communist oriented politics. For the same reason, Jane Fonda will always and forever be known as Hanoi Jane because of her support of communists in North Vietnam—no matter what she may have done in the rest of her life from playing in On Golden Pond with her father, to her workout tapes. In the history of her legacy, she will always be known as a communist, which most Americans reject when the word is not hidden behind the mask of progressivism. 70 percent of Americans have a genuine mistrust of government. About 20% of those people are willing to overlook that mistrust because government pays their paycheck—and pays them quite well to remain “comfortably numb.” Because the government cannot be trusted, The Second Amendment will always be needed in case the tragic worst case scenario should ever reoccur, which is another American Revolution. The Second Amendment is not for hunting, or target shooting, it is for warding off the government if government imposes itself too arrogantly upon the personal liberty and freedoms of the American people. It’s a unique concept in the world, and progressives in love with Europe find it appalling. In Hollywood where European culture is so revered and noticeably out of step with the rest of the country, Jim Carrey is just another activist showing off for his liberal friends so he can stay relevant. But in so doing he created his own legacy that he will come to regret. He won’t be known as the actor for the Truman Show, or even Ace Ventura. Rather, he’ll be known as the progressive stooge who danced on the grave of a Hollywood legend and took aim at the heart of America with a blind attempt to appease the extreme minority in Hollywood who holds the purse strings of the Hollywood money machine. In the end, Carrey will wish that he had said something as bold as Charlton Heston did, and that some future loser would attempt mock him in death with a song titled Cold Dead Hand, because when Carrey is no longer on earth, it will go as un-noticed as a fart lost in the wind of a career built of childish jokes and frail beliefs.

That is the legacy of Jim Carrey, throw him a fish–he’ll perform.
