I’m a Hard No on Issue 2 in Ohio: Legalizing marijuana is a horrible idea and an attack on American exeptionalism

I can’t think of a single good thing that could come from the legalization of marijuana in Ohio, which is what Issue 2 is all about in 2023.  Low-life losers who want to desecrate a red state with a significant liberal policy desire have been eager to exploit the lower threshold to change the Ohio Constitution to accommodate the legalization of pot.  When Issue 1 failed to pass earlier in 2023, which would have raised the 50+1 margin for amending the Ohio Constitution, the pot advocates grew eager to put the issue on a ballot as soon as it became apparent that the threshold would remain low.  Out-of-state money and influence have lost their advocacy on a federal stage, so suddenly, states that could easily change their Constitutions and are vulnerable to these kinds of policy attacks, which essentially bypass all legislative controls and give the law-making ability to radical lunatics, are seeing this legislative assault.  And already in some states where marijuana has already been legalized medically and recreationally, the degradation of their culture is obvious and Ohio has been a target for them because of its conservative nature.  Polling is undoubtedly in their favor as we now have a culture of people taught in public education to turn to every mind-numbing device that pharmaceuticals can market for relief.  Pot is one of the worst drugs that has ever been known because of its effects on the human mind.  You know you have a society that has gone to pot by the way they drive and giggle at dumb jokes.  In short, pot lowers the expectation level of any performance standard in society, which is the point of America’s enemies wanting to poison our culture.  And ultimately, why Issue 2 in Ohio is on the ballot.  It’s about desecration of something good, and turning to pot legalization is just the tip of the iceberg.  There is nothing good that can come of it. 

Oh, I’ve heard the ridiculous John Boehner talking points, the former Speaker of the House who stepped out of that office and into becoming a lobbyist for marijuana.  He and I have many mutual friends in the Butler County Republican Party, and his fall from grace has been embarrassing.  And how he was ever considered one of the most influential people in the world and a beacon of conservative value shows how flimsy that opinion is among most politicians.  So this isn’t just a Democrat thing, but it’s a RINO thing as well.  These people will talk about the benefits to business that marijuana legalization would bring to a state, the increased revenue that throws more money at politicians that don’t spend what they are given with much care at all.  And to talk about pot as a “pro-business” state platform is complete foolishness.  I get it; a lot of people have used pot recreationally and think they have to justify its destructive effects for the rest of their lives.  I see the impact everywhere in slow people, slow drivers, slow drive-thru workers, and slow-minded employees who have their minds turned off due to the detrimental effects of pot consumption on the human brain.  And pot advocates want more of that?  Of course, all capitalist-hating slugs of humanity want to slow down the threat of competition with poison, which is all pot is.  A malicious ingredient that is intended to destroy minds, not benefit them.  The pot lobby has hidden behind advocacy such as “you can make a rope with cannabis,” and that it’s a whole new industry that could bring revenue to the state as if those things justified legalization.  But what we know about marijuana far outweighs any conjured-up benefit of the plant itself as a cultivated new market share. 

Passage of the legalization initiative is looking in favor of this destructive drug; it’s trending about the same as what defeated Issue 1 earlier in the year and is supporting the new Issue 1, the death cult of abortion, for November of 2023, at around 56-57%.  There are a lot of people who like to kill babies and do drugs, and they are winning the culture war.  But it doesn’t help when Republicans join in the mess, which is undoubtedly the case with pot legalization in Ohio.  Full disclosure: I have never consumed marijuana.  That has been by choice; I’ve watched what it does to people.  I have lost many friends and family over my opinions on pot, and I’m perfectly fine with pushing people out of my life forever for their use of marijuana.  I am a strict no on marijuana consumption on any basis, even on the medical front.  The value of a human mind to me outweighs any physical virtue of numbing pain and pot without question, exacerbates depression in people, propels suicidal thoughts, and stimulates the tendency toward schizophrenia.  There are a lot of people who have tried pot and used it recreationally who will declare that it never impacted them in such a way.  But there is a percentage of people who do, and the effects are devastating.  But I am against all forms of intoxication.  If I had it my way, people wouldn’t be able to drink and get drunk.  I’m against it all, especially pot.  There is nothing good in destroying a mind, and that is what the consumption of marijuana does to people.  When foolish people without much knowledge of history say to me, “But the Indians used it, and they loved nature and were a peaceful people,” I reply, “That’s why the Indians were so easy to beat and destroy.  Because they smoked too many peace pipes and consumed marijuana.”  This is why the enemies of America want drugs legalized so that they can destroy the intellect of what makes America exceptional to begin with.

Nobody is doing to the business community anything beneficial with the legalization of pot.  Nothing makes more of a human resource nightmare than the sudden belief that a bunch of workers can go outside on break and smoke dope because they believe it’s legal in Ohio to do so, and return to the job site stoned and impaired.  Even though alcohol is legal, people can’t show up for work drunk or drink in an intoxicated state on the job.  But the pot sticks around even longer.  I travel a lot, and in states such as Colorado, where pot has been legalized, the degradation of the state economy is evident at just a casual glance.  A state that values impaired thinking over productive output is asking for trouble, and that is precisely what legalizing marijuana gives you.  It will hurt Ohio much more than it will help put more money into the pockets of politicians to waste on dumb projects at the expense of intellect.  More vape shops to promote a degraded state of social value will push away more business than it brings in through the newly created pot business.  The ultimate consumer is numbing their mind and body in ways that make them less than they could be, and that is never a good policy.  It’s not like I didn’t have options to try pot.  I decided a long time ago, based on extensive experience, that I could tell stories about for days and days without pause, my history with pot and my decision never to consume it and to push people who did out of my life, sometimes very violently, that I would never consume marijuana.  I’m a very hard no on Issue 2.  I consider legalization an attack by hostile forces on the American dream, and regardless of what a loser percentage votes in favor of, I will never be a supporter and will always speak against it.  So far, it’s not too late, but I’m prepared for that next stage with increased vigor.  I’m not just “vote no” on marijuana legalization and have strong opinions about its social use.  This attack only inspires me to be a much more vocal critic of it.  And if the odds against that opposition is a trillion to one, that’s fine with me.  A trillion brain-dead, pot-smoke-infested fools is no match for an unrestrained intellect.

Issue 1 in Ohio, the Cult of Death: The evil that was happening in the land of Canaan is behind the modern Democrat intention to change the Constitution to include abortion

Ironically, all the same characters who support the Palestinian attacks against Israel support Issue 1 in Ohio. I, of course, am a hard no on Issue 1, which is an attempt to put a radical abortion agenda into the Ohio Constitution up to the 9th month. It’s an outrageous death cult that we are dealing with here that is precisely the same as when Yahweh granted the land of Canaan to the Hebrew people because the Palestinians in the area, the “indigenous people” were sacrificing their firstborn children to the gods of Baal, Moloch, and Ishtar and God had enough of it. So, the state of Israel was created to silence a vast evil that had been taking place. And no less than that is the scope of the problems with Issue 1. When the previous Issue 1 that failed in August of 2023, we knew this attack by the various death cults outside the state was coming. They had targeted Ohio because it had a low threshold to bypass the various conservative governments in the House, the Senate, and as governor and could change laws with a simple 50+1 majority. So as soon as Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court and kicked back to the states, some conservatives saw the vulnerability. But it was too little too late. A vote was taken to attempt to raise the threshold for constitutional adjustments to something more reasonable, like 60%. But the out-of-state money poured in, and the push for this death cult activated all the losers, the murderers, the slack-jawed drug users, the trans crowd, the gays, the two or three real Joe Biden supporters, the lowlifes, the criminals, and the Israel haters into voting in August in what was supposed to be a surprise election. But Issue 1 was defeated with around 57%, so now this cult of the death abortion issue is on the November ballot as the new Issue 1. And I would like to see it fail.

But on this one, I’m taking the long view.  I can see that the vile Democrats think they have this one in the bag with early polling, along the same lines as what Issue 1 failed on in August.  Around 57% support this cult of death for various reasons, the same reasons that Israel was constantly challenged by the temptations to worship Baal with human sacrifice.  When people wonder how the ancient Canaanites could have killed their firstborn children screaming for their lives just to appease a god, all they have to do is look at the supporters of Issue 1 in Ohio for their answer.  The same could be said of them.  What the abortion activists want to do to the Ohio Constitution and the money from out of state that set the table for it is nothing short of human sacrifice.  This proposal is so radical that even contentious arguments about the 20-week ban, the Heartbeat Law, and even parental notification will be thrown out the window without any legislative input, and the evil menaces out there have drool dripping from their mouths at the prospect of turning such a red state as Ohio is into a victim of blue state politics with a simple majority vote.  In an off-year election where a president isn’t on the ballot, Democrats think they will see a surge in support over Issue 1 and the pot smoking Issue 2, another subject for discussion.  I see teacher unions puffing out their chests already through extremely liberal school board members who they think will get elected because they supported this cult of death.  So unless something drastic happens with turnout on election day in November, it looks like a long fight is ahead of us on this one. 

It is hard for good people to grasp just how evil Issue 1 is, or abortion rights in general, are.  But then again, this isn’t a modern problem; it’s a death cult that has always been with the human race.  It was the reason that Israel was created in the first place, to stand against that death cult.   Over time, it has been hard for people to stand with Israel and the various death cults of the world and stand up for progress and human decency.  Many conservative voters will sit at home on election night; at least, the supporters of Issue 1 expect that to be the case.  They think they will sneak this one under the fence, just as Jezebelle had corrupted her husband and the nation into Baal worship and the eventual destruction of the Jewish people.  We have that same evil menace manifesting behind out-of-state abortion groups seeking revenge over the federal Supreme Court position by targeting states like Ohio for this vicious attack.  And it is an attack; there is no soft way to put it.  There are plenty of losers in Ohio at the various Democrat strongholds to get this Issue 1 passed, especially in the college portions of the state where Democrat politics have seeded themselves into an otherwise very conservative state.  But it would take an outrageously high turnout of conservatives to stop Issue 1, which is hopeful but unrealistic.  As a result, millions of lives will be lost, which makes those functioning from evil in the world very happy. 

But it’s not too late yet.  I would recommend everyone go out and vote.  Don’t take this one lying down.   History shows us that we will have to confront evil like this many times in our lives and throughout time.  And this is undoubtedly one of them.  Encourage your friends and family to get out and vote against Issue 1.  Vote against this Cult of Death that Democrats want to bring to our sacred state of Ohio. But be prepared for the day after the election; the liberal media is already poised to throw gas on the fire and show Ohio as a victory and a ripe target for radical politics.  What is being attacked is the core of Ohio values, and to turn it into a complicit blue state for the vile intentions of actual evil that have their fingerprints all over Issue 1.  So we cannot lose our composure.  There are many ways to fight corruption, and we certainly will have to.  But before we resort to those methods, we can solve the problem with an election, which would be best.  Fighting these death cults is a mandate of existence that will occur with intense voracity regardless of what is written on a page and called law.  Ethics can and will be defended irrespective of any legislative endeavor.  I would recommend that we all be much more vocal about these cults of death and not let them hide in the background of our society and to shame them into oblivion.  But first, show up and make your voice known on Issue 1.  Give it your best effort at defeating it at the ballot box.  Then, depending on the obvious outcome, but nothing is sure until it is, we’ll go from there to defend life from the grips of death that come from all Democrat policies and their desires of doom for the human race.

Show up and Help Teach People About Issue 1 in Ohio: Vote Yes on August 8th 2023

This would be a great place to be on Saturday, the 29th of July, 2023. Help people learn about this important issue and inspire them to Vote Yes on August 8th, 2023. On Aug. 8, voters can decide on a measure that proposes significant changes to the constitutional amendment process. If passed, the measure would require a 60% majority to approve a new constitutional amendment instead of the current 50% plus one. Additionally, citizens who want to place an amendment on the ballot would need to collect signatures from at least 5% of voters from the last gubernatorial election in all 88 counties, which is an increase from the current requirement of 44 counties. The measure would also eliminate the 10-day cure period that allows citizens to replace any signatures that are deemed faulty by the secretary of state’s office. It will be interesting to see whether voters will support these changes or not.

There’s an election on August 8th, 2023, in Ohio. It’s not too far away, so it’s important to start thinking about what you can do to get involved. Many people aren’t aware of the election, so it’s up to us to spread the word and encourage others to participate. Whether it’s volunteering to help with campaigns, making sure your friends and family are registered to vote, or simply educating yourself on the issues and candidates, every little bit helps. So let’s make a difference and help others learn about this important event!

Why We are Lucky to be Able to Vote for George Lang: Issue 1, and the pro-crime Democrats

 

There are a number of reasons to vote for George Lang to keep the 52nd House seat that he currently holds in Columbus, Ohio. One of the most obvious is that George has an ambition to make Ohio one of the most business friendly states in the United States which says a lot considering some of the states in America and their relationships with business. George understands that economies are not grown from the middle out, but from the top down. The “middle class” that liberals are always talking about is created by jobs. Without jobs there isn’t anything for a middle class to do. I don’t even like the term “middle class” because it assumes that some people are under other people and that just isn’t the way humans think generally, but in politics it’s an established term that Democrats use to describe people they want to rule over. George Lang is one of the few people I know who truly understands this relationship between people and business, and he is ambitious to allow business development to improve the lives of everyone around them. If it was only for George Lang’s pro-business stance, he would be the best person that you could hope to vote for anywhere in the country on November 6th 2018. I like a lot of people who are up for election this year, but nobody as much as George Lang. However, what really makes George special is his positions on firearm ownership, particularly Ohio’s need to have a stand your ground law.

Currently the way Ohio’s laws of confrontation are written they favor a duty to retreat in hostile situations which greatly favors the ambitions of the malicious. If the intentions of Ohio’s Issue 1 are added under the potential of the Democrat running for governor against Mike DeWine this is very dangerous for individual liberty for all Ohioans. Democrats under Issue 1 want to empty prisons and put criminals back on the streets, and obviously that will lead to more crime for which the people being threatened have a “duty to retreat.” That makes absolutely no sense, but as Ohio law is written now, and under the empowerment of liberalism, from RINO Republicans like John Kasich and extreme liberals like Sherrod Brown Democrats are poised to really make Ohio a dangerous place, due to the intent behind the legislation they support. Like their poor economic theories of growth from the inside out which is completely foolish, Democrats believe that people can and should be reformed instead of separated from those who aspire toward value. The only way to make that relationship work is to bring down the value of everyone so that the criminal and social lunatics can have a seat at the table of society. Issue 1 assumes that the prison represents a value judgment for which Democrats resent, that criminals are a lower class of people as judged by other people. This is the same reason there are liberal “duty to retreat laws.” If you really get down to what a typical Democrat believes about guns and the potential of gun violence it is that using a gun to protect yourself or your property is reprehensible because it denies the desires of other people to share in what you have should they desire it. That is why essentially all Democrats are pro crime candidates, because they desire shared assets in society as opposed to protection of individual rights—in every circumstance.

People who look at my Instagram page, and my many other social media platforms might refer to me as a gun nut, which I am a long way from being. If the news did cover me in a story, they would say that I have an obsession with guns, which from their perspective is a very dirty thing. But truly I see guns as a huge philosophic achievement in the context of human existence. Their invention and implementation on a personal basis have advanced society in tremendous ways and is the essential foundation to everything concerning law and order. Without personal ownership of firearms, America would not be the great country that it is. If you really peel back the layers of American society into what makes it great, it is personal gun ownership. Everything else trickles off that essential foundation, just like the basic economic theories of a pro-growth GDP, from the top down, guns ensure that laws are followed, and that laws are intended to protect personal property—not the property of the state, but the property of the individual.

When we talk about our nation being more divided than ever this is essentially what we are experiencing, the idea of state property and individual property. Democrats want the state to control all property and to issue out fairness whereas Republicans believe in the protection of individual property. That leaves the ambitious to outwork the lazy and some people ultimately own more property than others. Some who don’t want to work for their ownership of property rationalize that as criminals they can steal from others, which deep in their hearts is a very Democrat way of thinking, which is why Issue 1 is supported by extreme liberals like Richard Cordray and why Ohio generally has laws of confrontation that favor a “duty to retreat.”

That is why George Lang is such a great Ohio representative. He understands this basic philosophical premise which most people don’t. He’s not afraid to go into a gun store like the great one in Liberty Township, Ohio–Right 2 Arms (I buy most of my guns from them) and give a statement about his support of “stand your ground laws” which means that gun owners do not have an obligation to retreat in a conflict. It is at the point of implementation the best way to deal with criminal behavior and when criminals are contained, business owners are hungry to expand economic activity. One goes hand in hand with the other. It is not a coincidence that America has more guns in it than people. And it also has the greatest economy in the world with no country even coming in a close second—especially not communist China. When I promote guns in my social media it is not to show a love of power and the ability to inflict death, it is in support of the tool which makes economic expansion happen. Without the gun there would be no order in American society. In places around the world where guns are illegal in every case social behavior is greatly scaled back and the loss of ambition which naturally cascades off that mental aptitude destroys free enterprise and the hope of acquiring wealth through economic expansion and the entire country suffers. I’m thinking of England as I write this.

George Lang understands this complex relationship between personal firearms and business expansion, and as a state representative he will support both. If Ohio can manage to get a real Republican governor there is a real chance at getting “stand your ground laws” implemented in the near future. When gun owners and concealed carry holders do not have an obligation to retreat, criminals lose a great deal of their power and in Ohio, a state that actually is considering Issue 1 where criminals can be released from jail and thrown back into society to fulfil the insanity of Democrat thinking, the basic foundations of gun ownership are all that keep a pro-growth state economy a possibility for the future. That is one of the main reasons that George Lang is one of the best Republicans in the country that anybody could vote for and if you are in the 52nd House District on election day, you are very lucky indeed to have the ability to vote for him.
