Replacing John Boehner: Meet J.D. Winteregg

For me the situation is clear, I’ll support J.D. Winteregg to run against John Boehner in the primary coming up as opposed to the other challenger who spoke at the West Chester Tea Party in a short introduction and debate against my neighbor Eric Gurr—a very nice guy, smart man, but too much of a political insider.  J.D. has a new penny feel about him, and after hearing him speak, I believe he is incorruptible.  I’ve known a few people over the years that can walk through the valley of sin without falling to temptation, and Eric has that presence about him.  It will take that kind of person to knock off Boehner, and do what is required in Washington D.C. in the seat that Boehner vacates.  But don’t just take my word for it, watch the debate for yourself—where both J.D. Winteregg and Eric Gurr introduce their basic platforms and do a bit of Q & A at the end through debate fashion.  Both guys did a pretty good job at this early stage.  Neither are slick politicians—but that’s a good thing when it is considered that the task at hand is to knock off the Speaker of the House—the third most powerful job in the entire world.

John Boehner has been in Congress representing the 8th District since 1990.  He’s been in that position my children’s entire life, and they are now both married and having kids of their own.  He’s been in Washington too long.  I know he’s a nice guy, but I’m sure the same could be said of Obama privately.  Boehner is just bad for the job.  It became clear to me that Boehner had fallen in love with Washington D.C. when he was caught on a hot mike talking to Joe Biden about golf before the President addressed the nation with a yearly speech.  Obama obviously has intentions to grossly expand government which is a real and serious threat to everyone’s livelihoods who actually work at real jobs—and hob knobbing with the powerful elite while they do it is just neglectful.  It has become obvious that Obama and John Boehner are not that far apart on many issues.  Boehner plays the Republican act for the cameras, and fundraising speeches, but it is obvious he doesn’t believe what he says because he doesn’t act on his promises—such as someone’s going to “jail over the IRS.”  Boehner like Obama just delivers lines of dialogue and seems to believe in nothing.

When a politician like John Boehner “compromises” he’s done, not because compromise is a dirty word, but because the implication of that task states clearly that a person is willing to yield their values for the collective good of democracy.  The trouble with that is the other side does not function from a value system, so compromise to them costs nothing—because they have nothing to yield.  The compromise exclusively comes from those who do have value—people like Boehner—and he has for over twenty years compromised, and compromised, and compromised until he has allowed the Republican right to be pulled so far to the political left that he could likely hold a job right now in the Clinton White House of the 1990s.

Boehner plays too many Washington games, and he loses most of them. Whether it’s the government shut down, the debt ceiling, Health Care which was rammed through Congress on his watch, his failure to go after Obama on several potentially impeachable offenses—Benghazi, the IRS, the NSA, the political appointments, Boehner has shown that he’s comfortable in Washington.  He likes it and for a representative from Ohio, he is not representing it in the Belt Way—giving politicians like Obama leverage in all negotiations.  It is obvious that in the poker games of Washington, John doesn’t know what he’s doing, or what his opponents are doing to him.  Boehner is continuously out-maneuvered by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for God’s sake—and those people are complete idiots.  I am convinced that Boehner was elected Speaker of the House not for his skill as a Speaker, but for his naive complacency—his aloofness toward the crimes going on in the House under his nose which is enriching its members.  Boehner is Speaker of the House to keep the status quo functioning with excuses and promises while the trio of Reid, Pelosi, and Obama run him down over and over like Enos on the old television show, The Dukes of Hazzard.

On a rainy January in 2011 I went down to John’s office during lunch to speak to his “people,” the same guys who were in the audience scouting the competition trying to knock off their boss in the video above.  I wanted to give Boehner a formal letter, and actually hoped to catch him in town, as I knew he was back home at the time.  When I got to the office, they hadn’t seen Boehner even though he lives right down the road—and that little aspect of Boehner’s management style spoke volumes about the current Speaker of the House—he’s out of touch.  Boehner after 20 years in Congress has been out-witted one too many times and the way he attempts to overcome his intellectual naiveté is to play golf with his enemies and compromise.  When Boehner compromises with Obama it is always the GOP which gives up something because Obama is a classic thief—a looter who gains everything he has in life by taking from others.  Obama never gives up anything because he never earned anything.  John Boehner on the other hand has always done for himself—but he gives Obama equal value at the bargaining table with a compromise.  It’s like going to a garage sale and buying a new television in exchange for a pack of stolen laundry plucked off a neighbor’s cloths line.  Boehner has the television; Obama has the bag of laundry.  Boehner gives Obama the television, and Boehner gets a bag of laundry that the owner eventually comes looking for and thinks that it was Boehner who stole it in the first place, because it’s in his hands.  Obama goes home and watches football on the television while Boehner defends himself in court for stealing laundry from people’s back yards.  That is what Democrats call “compromise.”

The Speaker of the House should know how to defend himself from those types of political games, but Boehner clearly doesn’t.  Like Enos in The Dukes of Hazzard, John Boehner is a good man pushed around constantly by the Boss Hoggs of Capital Hill, and he falls for just about every scheme imaginable.  He has been kept as Speaker because the thieves, looters and barons know that they can continue their crimes against the tax payer so long as John Boehner is in charge—and that is just an insult to the people of the 8th District, and to himself.  It is painful to watch Boehner struggle through all the various controversies that the Obama administration has served up to him, and he misses again and again the opportunity to deliver a spike.  It’s like watching a child in tee-ball who can’t swing a bat and hit the ball set up on a tee.  It’s just pathetic.

So it’s time for Boehner to go and send a message to Washington that an established (powerful) Republican can be knocked out of his seat by someone new—someone like J.D. Winteregg.  If the Republicans fail to gain seats in the House after the Obamacare debacle, then they are complete idiots anyway—and hopeless beyond repair.  Obamacare is not just a ball placed on a tee for the GOP to hit, but it’s already been knocked out into the field for them.  All they have to do is run the bases.  So losing Boehner in the primary is of little consequence to the GOP.  We can afford it as an investment into a new kind of government where the Speaker is actually in his office when he’s in town, and doesn’t think first of playing golf while the other side is pulling his underwear up over his head like a Three Stooges skit.  It’s time for someone else to take John’s seat, and for me it would be J.D. Winteregg.

Even Losing The Bucs Are The Best: What is really behind team sports

I’m still on the fence about professional football; my interest in it has declined greatly over the last several years because of how it facilitates collectivism, and education institutions supported by left-winged radicals.  Football is a fun game that is cool, yet serves as a cover for the content being taught in these institutions, and the general collectivism exhibited by them.  For instance, a graduate of Ohio State University generally says “we” when referring to the school they attended—and they do this in the same way that people say “we” when referring to their favorite sports team.  “We scored a touchdown in the third quarter,” or “we lost a close game,” are just a few examples, and the behavior is learned in the education institutions.  Because of its “coolness” football serves as cover for all the bad things happening in the class rooms being taught by liberal leaning educators.  Society accepts the bad so that they can have the good, the entertainment of high school football under the Friday night lights, or a Saturday NCAA game between Ohio State and Michigan, or the fabulous Sunday afternoon football of the professionals—who are all the best and brightest of the college and high school players.

To compound matters, my favorite team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a bad year—a new coach learning his way around the NFL has struggled to find his niche as he pushes out the last remnants of the Raheem Morris era—targeting specifically Josh Freeman—the starting quarterback.  So there hasn’t been much to cheer for on my end, however, as I’ve stated emphatically on several occasions I would be a fan of the Buccaneers if they never won another game—because I support the ownership—not specific players and coaches.  I support the culture that the Glazer family attempts to create around their Tampa football franchise, and admire the grit of their ownership.

This grit was on full display during Monday Night Football against the embittered Miami Dolphins on the night Warren Sapp’s jersey was retired at half time.  Sapp was drafted by my favorite coach of all time, Sam Wyche who also drafted John Lynch and Derrick Brooks—three guys who could have only found themselves brought to the same place at the same time by someone like Wyche.  Since that period of time, Tampa has tried to duplicate that chemistry again, and have relentlessly tried various options trying to find that same intense spark.  They have had some small fires, but no explosions they way they did in 2002 when they finally won a Superbowl by the team that Wyche built-in 1995.  Wyche was at the front of Pirsig’s train.  Up until that Monday Night game the Bucs had lost all their games, most of them by narrow margins, but a loss is a loss and they were looking for their first.  They played with a passion that was entertaining, and admirable and reminded me why I have always loved that team—they have a never say die attitude which I find enchanting—even when they lose.  That mentality comes from the ownership.

I would rather be a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who lose every game they play so long as they played like they did on Monday Night Football the night that Warren Sapp’s number was retired.  If they lose, it’s OK with me so long as they take off their rivals head while doing it.  That is why I like the Bucs—and always have.  It will continue as long as the Glazers keep the spirit of that team with a philosophy which embodies that behavior.

Maybe it was something Sapp said to Greg Schiano the head coach of the Bucs prior to the game when the two had dinner, but on the following Sunday Tampa beat the crap out of the Atlanta Falcons with an effort that looked Superbowl worthy.  Football is that kind of game; it’s a game of capitalism that has many socialist tendencies looting off it for their own survival.  I love the capitalist elements of football, but I despise the socialism.  And of all the football teams in the world the only one I actually enjoy with any sense of loyalty is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

But I never say “we” when referencing the Bucs………….it’s always “they.”  They do the work, they do the hitting, they take the chances, and they win or lose the games.  I do not share in that activity with them.  I simply enjoy watching them try.  And that is the biggest difference between how I see football, and most everyone else.  For those others, they have an unhealthy relationship with football that opens their minds to statism coming through their education institutions that cause them to say “we” when dealing with the actions of others.  When the word “we” comes into play, football is a bad thing—because it allows those who do not actually contribute to the victory to believe that they helped win a game—and that is socialism.

When the beer belly father cheers on the kids of a high school football team, generally such onlookers are reliving the days that have passed them by—with their advanced ages they can no longer run, jump and leap through the air—so they cheer on the young little saplings with great enthusiasm and say “we” because that is the only way they can touch such memories—is through others.  When the middle-aged guy makes a bet over a college football game with his cubical all decked out with paraphernalia of his alumnus and declares that “we” will bet “you,” he is living his life through the college students of that college team with a dangerous form of collectivism.  His most glorious days are now behind him and only the college football team can recapture them for him.  Or when there are drunken fights at a professional game over whose team wins or loses, the participants are really fighting over the lack of control the team outcome has reminded them really occurs in their actual lives.  So the reminder is something to fight over—to suppress the knowledge that all their cheering and prayers had no bearing on the outcome.  I don’t watch the Tampa Bay Bucs for any of these reasons.  I watch it for the warfare displayed on the game field; I watch it for the capitalist gains of better players suppressing those at a tactical disadvantage.  I watch it for the hard hits, the strategy, and the passion of winning—or trying to.  I watch it for the spectacle……..purely.  In that regard, Tampa could lose the rest of its games for the next 10 years and I would still be a fan so long as they played the way they did on Monday Night Football on a November evening when Sapp was memorialized and the Bucs won their first game of 2013.  If it were the last, it would be fine with me, because my love of them extends beyond any tentacles of collectivism, but the joy of living, bleeding, fighting and surviving to fight another day and wrestle from an opponent a hard-fought victory that is as elusive as a purple moon in a sun blazed sky.

The Perfect Plan of a Communist White House: Obamacare–the attack on America

It doesn’t happen very often but sometimes I run across something that I don’t think I could say better.  One such thing is a bit of commentary Wayne Allyn Root wrote about Obamacare that I thought was simply fantastic.  After reading it, I concluded that I wouldn’t change or add a word.  In it Root states clearly what Obamacare is all about as a progressive creation and it is something that every American should read.  From my readers here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom I get dozens of these types of articles every day by email, and unfortunately I can’t often use them because the script is usually not up to my standards of analysis.  The submissions are often interesting but are either too extreme or constructed off pure frustration.  Other times they are laced with incomplete thoughts reporting only the results of things, and not the cause.  With the Wayne Allyn Root article, seen below, he digs down to the heart of Obamacare in a way that I agree 100% with, and he managed to do it at around 1200 words, which is quite a feat. 

 

Barack Obama is a doomsday president—meaning I believe he is deliberately seeking to wreck America from the kind of country I grew up in—and trying to make it into the kind of country he thinks it should be based on his childhood in Jakarta, Indonesia.  He thinks he is doing the righteous thing, in a similar way that terrorists believe that they are doing the right thing based on Allah, or the Devil—or whatever demon haunts their thoughts.  Bad guys always think in their minds that they are doing what’s right—they seldom ever want to hurt others for the simple joy of hurting.  Barack Obama is a domestic enemy—there is no other way to understand his actions.  While it may not be popular to say such things, the facts point to the noted reality—Obama and his clan of progressive scum bags wish to destroy America starting with the medical industry through its entanglements with the economy.  Obama’s America is not the John Wayne America—it is an anti-imperialistic one that seeks to bring down the great “evil” beast from the inside out.  Obama is not loyal to the American working at the local McDonald’s unless they wish to join a communist labor union.  He is not loyal to the gun shooters of Kentucky, or the hot rodders cruising the streets of Gatlinburg, Tennessee.  He is not loyal to the suburbanite conservative living in Butler County, Ohio .  Obama is loyal to dismantling The United States to fulfill the work of his childhood mentors, and he only partners up with people who will help him with his intended goal of destruction of the earth’s last superpower in favor of global equality—particularly for places like Jakarta. 

 

Last week Obama declared over the cries against his Obamacare program, that America should commit more resources to the country’s roads and infrastructure.  He declared that Europe was building roads, China was building roads, and Brazil was building roads.  But what he didn’t say was that all the countries he mentioned were either politically run by socialism, or out-right communism.  Obama is a communist—he’s not even a soft tempered socialist—he’s a hard core—KGB rotten, scum bag communist—the kind that was warned about in the 1940s and 1950s.   It does not matter if he is a card-carrying communist the way his mentors were during his childhood.  What matters is what he believes—and how his actions give it away.  Lawyers typically lie, cheat, and do whatever they have to in order to win their case.  Obama is a lawyer—he will deny, deny, and deny until the end of existence.  The truth will never come out of his mouth—because it’s not in him—at least not toward the American people.  I have to believe he is probably good to his family—he’s probably honest with his children, and someday I’m sure they’ll spill the beans to what their dad believed deep in his heart.  The evidence points to that conclusion now, and it’s a heart that doesn’t bleed red, white and blue—cowboy westerns, self-reliance, and American ingenuity.  Rather Obama’s heart only bleeds red—the red of places like the former USSR and the global universities who believe to this very day that communism is the way all governments should function.  These were the beliefs that gave young Obama his thoughts which were given from fathers who were communists, radical socialists, and revolutionaries too busy with their life to teach the little boy anything useful.  Obama, the man—lost of any fatherly influence can only be considered great in his own mind if he fulfills the dreams of this fathers—his childhood role models—who were in some cases card-carrying communists’ intent to destroy America.  Obama by his actions has shown that he wishes to fulfill their intentions.  This makes him a domestic enemy from the perspective of traditional America and he would be prosecuted by the law—if he wasn’t at the head of the highest office in the land and had the Department of Justice eating out of his hand like a farm-yard cow chewing straw through an electric fence. 

 

When I was a kid, there were often arguments that big time wrestling, the kind of stuff seen on TNT today, where Hulk Hogan, Jessie the Body Ventura and many others participated in, was fake.  Many wanted to believe the story lines, the plots that took place out of the ring—and refused to believe that some of those characters were actually working together—and that the whole thing was only a show.  Such is the state of modern politics.  Publically the political participants might appear to spar over some issue, but the whole thing is only a gag—meant to tell a story.  Deep in their hearts, all the politicians think alike as they were all taught in the same places by the same types of people—college professors like the radical nut jobs at Columbia University (read the link at the end of this article).   Obama is the political version of Hulk Hogan—a character invented by big time politics to tell a story and disguise the real intent behind Obamacare.  To pull it off, politics needed a communist who would swear under oath that he was a capitalist, who leaned toward Islamic faith while declaring he’s a Christian, and that he was born in Hawaii when it has been proven that the birth certificate was a fake.  (Click to Review)  That’s not to say that Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii, but the mystery surrounding his birthing records continue to be just cause for speculation.  Obama has spent millions of dollars trying to hide his past for some reason that is still not been proven sufficient—besides his saying so.  So with that set-up to provide context, enjoy what Wayne Allyn Root had to say about the true intention of Obamacare, and be sure to share this with those who need to hear it:

 

Why Obamacare is a Fantastic Success

By Wayne Allyn Root

There are 2 major political parties in America.  I am a member of the naïve, stupid, and cowardly one. I’m a Republican. How stupid is the GOP? They still don’t get it. I told them 5 years ago, 2 books ago, a national bestseller ago (The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide), and in hundreds of articles and commentaries, that Obamacare was never meant to help America, or heal the sick, or lower healthcare costs, or lower the debt, or expand the economy.

The GOP needs to stop calling Obamacare a train wreck.  That means it was a mistake, or accident. That means it’s a gigantic flop, or failure. It is NOT. This is a brilliant, cynical, and purposeful attempt to damage the U.S. economy, kill jobs, and bring down capitalism. It is not a failure; it is Obama’s grand success. It’s not a train wreck.  Obamacare is a suicide attack. He wants to hurt us, to bring us to our knees, to capitulate, so we agree under duress to accept big government.

Obama’s hero and mentor was Saul Alinsky, a radical Marxist intent on destroying capitalism. Alinsky’s stated advice was to call the other guy a terrorist to hide your own intentions. To scream that the other guy is ruining America, while you are the one actually plotting the destruction of America. To claim again and again. in every sentence of every speech that you are saving the middle class, while you are busy wiping out the middle class.

The GOP is so stupid they can’t see it. There are no mistakes here. This is a planned purposeful attack. The tell-tale sign isn’t the disastrous start to Obamacare. Or the devastating effect the new taxes are having on the economy. Or the death of full-time jobs. Or the overwhelming debt. Or the dramatic increases in health insurance rates. Or the 70% of doctors now thinking of retiring- bringing on a healthcare crisis of unimaginable proportions. Forget all that.

The real sign that this is a purposeful attack upon capitalism is how many Obama administration members and Democratic Congressmen are openly calling Tea Party Republicans and anyone who wants to stop Obamacare terrorists. There’s the clue. Even the clueless GOP should be able to see that. They are calling the reasonable people, the patriots, the people who believe in the Constitution, the people who believe exactly what the Founding Fathers believed, the people who want to take power away from corrupt politicians who have put America $17 trillion in debt, terrorists?

That’s because they are Saul Alinsky-ing the GOP. The people trying to purposely hurt America, capitalism and the middle class, are calling the patriots by a terrible name to fool, confuse and distract the public.

Obamacare is a raving, rollicking, fantastic success. Stop calling it a failure. Here is what it was created to do. It is succeeding on all counts.

#1) Obamacare was intended to bring about the Marxist dream- redistribution of wealth. Rich people, small business owners, and the middle class are being robbed, so that the money can be redistributed to poor people (who vote Democrat). Think about it. If you’re rich or middle class, you now have to pay for your own healthcare costs (at much higher rates) AND 40 million other people’s costs too (through massive tax increases). So you’re stuck paying for both bills. You are left broke. Brilliant.

#2) Obamacare was intended to wipe out the middle class and make them dependent on government. Think about it. Even Obama’s IRS predicts that health insurance for a typical American family by 2016 will be $20,000 per year. But how would middle class Americans pay that bill and have anything left for food or housing or living? People that make $40K, or $50K, or $60K can’t possibly hope to spend $20K on health insurance without becoming homeless. Bingo. That’s how you make middle class people dependent on government. That’s how you make everyone addicted to government checks. Brilliant.

#3) As a bonus, Obamacare is intended to kill every decent paying job in the economy, creating only crummy, crappy part-time jobs. Why? Just to make sure the middle class is trapped, with no way out. Just to make sure no one has the $20,000 per year to pay for health insurance, thereby guaranteeing they become wards of the state. Brilliant.

#4) Obamacare is intended to bankrupt small business, and therefore starve donations to the GOP. Think about it. Do you know a small business owner? I know hundreds of them. Their rates are being doubled, tripled and quadrupled by Obamacare. Guess who writes 75% of the checks to Republican candidates and conservative causes? Small business. Even if a small business owner manages to survive, he or she certainly can’t write a big check to the GOP anymore. Money is the mother’s milk of politics. Without donations, a political party ceases to exist. Bingo. That’s the point of Obamacare. Obama is bankrupting his political opposition and drying up donations to the GOP. Brilliant.

#5) Obamacare is intended to make the IRS all-powerful. It adds thousands of new IRS agents. It puts the IRS in charge of overseeing 15% of the U.S. economy. The IRS has the right because of Obamacare to snoop into every aspect of your life, to go into your bank accounts, to fine you, to frighten you, to intimidate you. And Obama and his socialist cabal have access to your deepest medical secrets. By law your doctor has to ask your sexual history. That information is now in the hands of Obama and the IRS to blackmail GOP candidates into either not running, or supporting bigger government, or leaking the info and ruining your campaign. Or have you forgotten the IRS harassed, intimidated and persecuted critics of Obama and conservative groups? Now Obama hands the IRS even more power. Big Brother rules our lives. Brilliant.

#6) Obamacare is intended to unionize 15 million healthcare workers. That produces $15 billion in new union dues. That money goes to fund Democratic candidates and socialist causes- thereby guaranteeing Obama’s friends never lose another election, and Obama’s policies keep ruining capitalism and bankrupting business owners long after he’s out of office. Message to the GOP: This isn’t a game. This isn’t tiddly-winks. This is a serious, purposeful attempt to highjack America and destroy capitalism. This isn’t a trainwreck. It is purposeful suicide. It is not failing, it is working exactly according to plan. Obama knows what he’s doing. Stop apologizing and start fighting.

Oh and one more thing, Conservatives aren’t terrorists. We are patriots and saviors. We represent the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. We are the heroes and good guys.

Darryl Parks Earns the Uber Man Card: Standing up to the FCC in a big way

Here is the official explanation from 700 WLW as to why Darryl Parks is no longer employed by Clear Channel, or hosting his Saturday radio show.

Darryl Parks has stood by me in tough times, especially when saying controversial things were needed.  When 700 WLW desperate to separate themselves from the memory of Doc Thompson supported the antics of a bunch of Lakota Levy supporters to assassinate my name, Darryl was there to stop it.  Darryl Parks built the modern-day 700 WLW and he was a much respected executive at Clear Channel.  Darryl made Clear Channel a lot of money.  So it meant a lot to me that he put an end to the hit pieces against me from his employees on the radio following things I wrote which took an uber-man card to write.  Darryl is one of the few people still working in the media that appreciates, and gives out man-cards when a man stands for something he believes in.  So it’s my turn to support him for standing up for himself, and his radio industry in the face of an imperialistic FCC imposition that is being launched against AM stations in 2014.  Darryl after a series of executive meetings wrote a blog posting that took an uber-man card to write because not a single other soul working in the radio industry had the guts to call out the FCC for what they are trying to do—which is another topic that we will explore in much more detail in subsequent articles.  Not long after that blog posting, Darryl Parks was fired from not only 700 WLW, but from Clear Channel.

Below is the blog posting Darryl had written, as he wrote it.  Knowing a bit about Darryl, I have a pretty good idea what he was thinking.  The radio industry is under attack by the federal government through the FCC.  Darryl likely rationalized that he could end his career quickly like a man, or quietly like a mouse—slowly over time the way the other people in his industry have chosen.  The FCC is making dumb decisions based on the opinions of a very successful radio man—and he wanted to make sure they knew what a bunch of idiots they were.  So he told them in a way that only Darryl Parks could.  It took serious balls to do what he did—it took an uber-man card, which is very rare in this modern world of sell-outs, pussies, beta men, and back-stabbing social climbers.  Most people attending these meetings with Darryl would likely agree with him, but all of them lacked the courage to say anything about it—because it might cost them their career.  This is how evil spreads, when good men do nothing—especially when they know better.

I will miss Darryl on the radio at 700 WLW.  But he knows what Doc Thompson already is doing, and my friend Matt Clark at WAAM, that the future of radio is not in FCC controlled stations.  Popular media personalities like Parks, Thompson, and even Ben Swann from Fox 19, have all had to make personal decisions in the face of comfortable careers where good pay and security might otherwise shut their mouths.  Swann left television in Cincinnati by his own decision.   Thompson was fired from 700 WLW as one of the last hires of Darryl Parks before Darryl was promoted to an executive job that was a nationwide deal.  And Darryl probably didn’t think that Clear Channel would fire him for what he said, but he likely didn’t care either because his industry under the current FCC policies will end anyway.  He was simply meeting the tragedy head on.  So read what Darryl said and consider the implication of his termination.  The posting which appeared on his 700 WLW blog site is shown below.  It is well written and full of interesting facts.  The worst thing he said about the FCC was that they were a bunch of “circle jerks,” which they are.  Darryl made an observed fact metaphorically speaking.  Should that cost him his job?  Of course not, especially when members of The White House have openly lied, cheated, and in some cases allegedly killed others to advance their agenda.  But when the FCC controls things and don’t like the views of those who refuse to “play along nicely” terminations will occur in a New York minute because the goal is not justice, but compliance, and the best way to hurt a person like Darryl Parks is in the check book and take away his voice.  It’s not like it was a conspiracy theory against Parks where the Obama White House or anybody else declared that Darryl had to go.  Rather the infestation of the FCC by Obama type federal employees is going after certain types of characters the way the IRS went after conservative groups.  In a publicly traded company that is very concerned about perception, the safe money is to keep your mouth shut and put up with the intrusion of know-nothing FCC “circle jerks.”  Well, not Darryl, he is a man who loves his man card, and won’t give it up in trade for a corporate suit, and the security of a “circle jerk.”  That is why I will always like Darryl Parks even if I can’t hear him every Saturday morning on 700 WLW.

Last Blog Entry by Darryl Parks at 700 WLW:

If you would allow me the indulgence of being the radio suit that I am in real life for just one blog, because something has me irritated in a major way.

There is finally a call, as the Federal Communications Commission put it recently, to revitalize the AM band.  You know create and ease rules to allow station owners to be relieved of horrible burdens.  You may have read about this in the press or online.  If you’re in the broadcast industry you may have read about it in one of the industry rags.

You think just one of these industry rags would speak the truth about the FCC’s ideas, suggestions and concepts?  Nope.  As Kevin Bacon’s character in Animal House said, “Remain calm.  All is well.”  What a joke the FCC is.  And sadly, what a joke the people in the radio industry are who are nodding along without thought or the ability to intelligently reason the basic concepts of physics.

While AM radio may suffer from numerous other issues, this will focus on technical limitations of the broadcast band and the ideas the FCC has moving forward.

AM radio or “amplitude modulation” was first.  Even back in the 1920’s and 1930’s companies like RCA which sold radios, owned stations and had the NBC Radio Networks knew of limitations on the band, limitations such as “static.”  RCA was so concerned about static they, through a really smart guy they employed, invented FM or “frequency modulation” and then buried the FM technology because they had too much money invested in AM stations.  The “static” you hear on AM radio is interference.

The AM signal travels farther at night than during the day.  Most AM radio stations change their signal patterns and/or reduce power at night to keep from interfering with other stations on the same frequency or adjacent frequencies.  Stations like 700WLW are considered a “clear channel” station, meaning the station’s signal is broadcast in a non-directional pattern and is the only station on that frequency at night.  The power is a booming 50,000 watts.  Stations such as WSM-AM, WGN-AM, WLS-AM and WCBS-AM are also “clear channel” stations.

Today, besides interference from other stations, the AM band is also being interfered with by computers, cell phones, even those new energy savings light bulbs.  This is why it may be more difficult for you to receive a good signal from an AM station these days.

Just last week at the yearly “circle jerk” gathering of broadcasters called the NAB/RAB Radio Show, FCC Acting Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn announced a “Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” with 6…count ‘em…6 ideas to rid station owners of horrible burdens.  What do these 6 ideas do?  Increase interference!  And no one.  Not one freaking person in the industry press will talk about this.  Obviously, they’re too busy copying press releases for their publications and pretending to be Kevin Bacon’s ROTC character.

Here are the 6 ideas proposed by the FCC.

Opening a one-time filing window, limited to current AM licensees and permittees, which will allow each to apply for one new FM translator station to fill in its service area.

An FM translator is a very low power FM signal, normally about 99 watts.  The FCC figures there’s so much interference today on the AM band, as stations interfere with each other, why not spread the pain and cause more interference on the FM band.  BRILLIANT!

Relaxing the AM daytime community coverage rule to allow existing AM broadcasters more flexibility to propose antenna site changes.

Translation:  Stations that are non-viable can change their tower locations.  (1) Non-viable stations probably don’t have the money to move a tower site, which will cost in the millions.  (2) If a non-viable station does change its tower site, rules would be relaxed on these stations allowing for more interference with other stations.  (3) If a non-viable station simply changes its daytime pattern at its current site it will cause more interference with other stations.  BRILLIANT!

Relaxing the AM nighttime community coverage standards, which will also provide broadcasters, who may have difficulty finding suitable sites, relief for towers and directional arrays.

Remember what I said about the AM signal traveling farther at night?  More AM band interference and more difficulty for the consumer to receive and hear programming.  BRILLIANT!

Also, does the FCC really think a non-viable AM station will be moving its tower site?  700WLW’s tower site is 40 acres.  Two towers, one almost 900 feet tall.  What do you think this would cost to build?  This is a non-starter.

Eliminating the AM “ratchet rule,” which requires an AM station to “ratchet back” its nighttime signal to reduce interference to certain other AM stations.

Here’s where I worry about the FCC and attendees at the recent NAB/RAB “circle jerk.”  Really?  You applauded this idea?  They are saying they are in favor of increasing interference on the AM band and making it more difficult for listeners to listen to stations.  WOW!

Permitting wider implementation of Modulation Dependent Carrier Level or MDCL control technologies, which allow broadcasters to reduce power consumption.

I know.  What the f*** does this mean?  Basically, by controlling the algorithms of modulation with the main carrier and the side-bands of the signal the station can reduce its electric bill.  But, as with every immutable law in physics there is give and take.  (1) By reducing the power and use of electricity needed, it makes the signal weaker and creates more interference on the listener’s end.  (2)  The FCC has noted that a reduction in signal power at certain modulation levels “inevitably exacts some penalty in audio quality.”  This means if an AM station uses the MDCL control technology audio distortion is created on the signal.  You guessed it.  More interference.

Modifying AM antenna efficiency standards by reducing minimum effective field strength values by approximately 25%, thus allowing the use of shorter towers.

“Reducing minimum effective field strength values” means a weaker signal.  700WLW’s main tower is what is called a “half-wave tower.”  That’s why it’s so big.  Stations that have shorter towers have what are called “quarter-wave towers.”  A half-wave tower creates a better and stronger signal.  The shorter towers proposed mean?  Yep.  More interference.

Hey FCC.  The answer is not MORE interference.  The answer is LESS interference.  And you do that by turning off non-viable stations.  And before station owners start crying poverty, many of these non-viable AM stations have one thing that is worth a ton of money.  The land their towers sit on.

What do you think those 40 acres in Mason, Ohio are worth?

Darryl doesn’t have to worry about his man card.  They can take his job, but not his uber manhood!  He can get another job with all his talent, but manhood can’t be earned back once lost.  The blog posting was captured and posted with derogatory comments about Darryl by Fred Jacobs, CLICK THE LINKS ABOVE AND BELOW. Jacobs was one of the speakers at the “circle jerk.”  It seems he didn’t like Darryl’s opinion of his performance.  Click here to review.  It took a month for the “circle jerks” to read the blog posting and figure out what it meant.  Just like they don’t understand that more quarter-wave towers mean a message gets to fewer people because of the cluttered noise–yet that is just what the FCC intended all along because conservative political values are primarily communicated over AM radio, specifically large half-wave towers like 700 WLW.  Bravo Darryl Parks, for voicing your opinion against the FCC.  Fred Jacobs lost his man card a long time ago.

Doc Thompson From Topeka, Kansas: A new day for conservative values

As I listened to the pre-election rabble, particularly from 700 WLW where Scott Sloan and Bill Cunningham have shown they are willing to form their beliefs around program management and not core ideals, I thought of my friend Doc Thompson who had to leave the station shortly after the 2011 election.  I’ve talked to Doc about his last days at Clear Channel and found it surprising to learn that Cunningham for all his support of teachers in public schools did not support collective bargaining agreements at 700 WLW when it came to Doc.  Willie took up a lot of payroll and the station couldn’t afford another guy at the station with a conservative slant, which would be the next star of tomorrow, so they picked Willie and sent Doc off to fulfill his career elsewhere.   If Clear Channel operated the way public schools did, even Scott Sloan would be approaching the kind of money that Cunningham makes not off performance, ratings, or even years of service, but because a collective bargaining agreement said so.  So it was surprising to hear Cunningham and Sloan make the observations they did prior to the election, which will be covered extensively in the days to come.

As the 2013 Election came and went, Doc was on the road with his producer Skip in Topeka, Kansas on a tour with The Blaze Radio Network that had the new radio celebrities broadcasting in a different city each day and giving public appearances along the way.   Doc’s career has exploded during 2013 since joining The Blaze employed directly by Glenn Beck.   His current job and role is everything that he dreamed of working for several stations all over America before an exit from Clear Channel in Cincinnati, Ohio and Richmond, Virginia that might have otherwise ended his days on the radio.   Doc isn’t squandering the opportunity.

Doc Thompson is a conservative libertarian American radio host and political commentator. He hosts The Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson, a radio show on The Blaze Radio Network, which debuted January 21st, 2013. The show airs weekdays from 6am to 9am before the Glenn Beck Radio Program, where he has been a regular guest host since 2008. Doc also provides political analysis, appearing on various television shows such as CNBC’s The Kudlow Report, The Blaze’s Real News, The Glenn Beck Program, The Pat and Stu Show, and special election coverage from Virginia for CNN and Fox News. Doc has been honored to be a part of several teams, receiving a total of 7 Marconi Radio Awards from the National Association of Broadcasters.

Thompson’s broadcast style mixes reporting, commentary, and humor to reflect a conservative libertarian political philosophy with economic views supportive of the free market. Showcasing Doc’s passion and insight, his beliefs and comments are consistent as he discusses personal freedom, personal responsibility, and Constitutional principles.

Born and raised in Ohio, Doc’s career in radio has led him to work in the great states of Alabama, Virginia, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, West Virginia, and Michigan.  These years of traveling across America have proved priceless to Doc, as they have allowed him to meet fellow citizens from all walks of life and experience the differing cultures throughout our nation.  His entertaining program of political badinage, mixed with daily topical events, is fun, fresh, and different.  With a precise blend of candor, news, and humor, Doc’s show is enlightening and informative.  He exposes absurdity by lampooning those who deserve it and is driven by exposing the truth.  Doc regularly attends rallies, guest hosts radio and television programs, and performs speaking events all over the country.  In addition to Doc’s talent in broadcasting, he considers himself a “foodie” because he loves to eat, cook, and try new cuisine while traveling.  A self-admitted “pizza-snob”, Doc also enjoys cheap wine and expensive beer!

To truly understand Doc’s beliefs, here are just a few of his favorite quotes:

“Is life so dear, is peace so sweet…” – Patrick Henry

“I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility…” – Thomas Jefferson

“Doc, I want to hire you for the BRN!” – Glenn Beck

When asked to describe himself, Doc said…

“I’m just like John Stewart, except with very different views, and I host a radio show not TV, and I’m not rich, nor from New York.  Okay, that was a really bad comparison! Don’t print that!”

I grew up listening to 700 WLW and during the 1990’s enjoyed the Bill Cunningham Show.  I thought the guy was a real conservative, but as it turned out, it was all just an act, and 700 WLW have attached themselves to a sinking ship.  Cunningham is nothing but the next generation Jerry Springer and the station has bent their entire programming schedule around his temperament which will prove costly in the years to come.   Meanwhile, the one they let get away is more successful than ever and is steadily climbing into popularity.  The Blaze Radio Network is gaining traction by the thousands as listeners discover the benefit of good conservative radio that is not limited by a FCC license or controlled by salary hounds perpetually concerned about renewing their contract at the expense of others.   Doc no longer has to worry about those kinds of things.  He is as free as a radio talk jock can get, and it is so refreshing to hear someone like him on the radio—especially after a grueling election where the system staked against reason is ever-present and ominous.   Doc is a reminder that no matter how bad things look today, that tomorrow is a new opportunity to make things right, and within those opportunities are improvements that would not have been seen any other way.

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

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

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

Hello Endeavor Staff and PTO!

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

October 26th Caravan and Rally!

 

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

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

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

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

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

October 30th Canvassing!

 

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

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

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

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

Thanks so much!  Please let me know if you have any questions!

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

Click here to see for yourself! 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

William Schmidt

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The AP reported:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Government Shut Down: Why federal land should be privatized

The government shut down has revealed an aspect of American culture that is beyond dispute.  The number of government parks and monuments that have been cut off from tourism is astonishing, and underlines why all federal land should be privatized under the free market system.  No government should have the ability to extort national landmarks or historic places as a way to increase their budgetary needs through monopolistic extortion.  No property should be federal land, and operated under the monopoly of government control and authority.  All land in America should be under private ownership.

Under private ownership there would be no ability for the government to shut down.  Parks would operate on a profit basis and would be open “for profit.”  By shutting down parks and tourist attractions operated by the federal government a giant underline has been proposed as to why this arrangement has been allowed to take place at all.  Government should not have the ability to stop access to land that is so-called collectively owned by all Americans.  Since government has stopped access, the best alternative is that all that land should be privately owned.  The cost of service would increase, but at least the pretense of politeness would be eradicated, and efficiency would be implemented where it is currently nonexistent.

Of course the reason the government owns so much property in America is the pinnacle problem of growing statism, where the state believes it has more authority than individual lives—which is an anti-American concept to begin with.  I considered this problem the other night while visiting Kings Island during one of my favorite times of year, the weekend Haunts that are dedicated to Halloween type activities in one of the largest amusement parks in the world.  I love going to Kings Island in the cool fall evenings where the park is open till 1 AM.

I was thinking about the government shut down as I stood under the Eiffel Tower listening to a very intense rock band group called Blood Drums.   The time was 11:30 PM, there were fog machines everywhere pumping large volumes of cloudy mist all over the entire park.  People all around me were enjoying the music and eating snacks from the various venders and the park was operating all its major rides till well after midnight as the moon peeked over the ominous nighttime clouds.   Government was totally incapable of providing anything close to the kind of experience found at Kings Island that I was enjoying.  If government operated Kings Island, the park would have closed at 6 PM, because government does not care about profit since it exists off the looted efforts of the wealth they confiscate.  They do not strive to be profitable, efficient, or even relevant.  They simply take what they want with the mass mobs of the very stupid at their back.  Government could not operate Kings Island, only private ownership.

The greatest park in the world is Disney World in Florida.  No federally operated facility is more efficient, or does more for science, technology, or the preservation of environmental resources than does Epcot Center or Animal Kingdom.  The Disney Parks are almost always open and occasionally they even stay open all night.  They can do this because they operate under the free enterprise system.  With that said, I have mentioned a time or two the McDonald’s that I love in Orlando located just to the south of Universal Studios.  I am most proud to be an American when leaving one of the Disney Parks late at night—around 11 PM after being there since 9 AM where I can stop by this particular McDonald’s which is open 24 hours a day and eat a Big Mac in their dining room till 2 or 3 AM.  I can do this because the free enterprise system has shown McDonald’s and the Disney Parks that there is a need for such things, so they operate their business options in such a way to facilitate the needs of “individuals.”

What is going on with the government shutdown is extortion.  The statists of government are declaring that either tax payers further fund the ridiculous demands of a monopolistic enterprise called the federal government and all their land grabbing tendencies, or Americans will be cut off from their national treasures.  The inefficiencies of government workers is never questioned, or their operating hours.  The only thing discussed is the fact that the federal government has the power to deny access to things that are……………….American and they are dead wrong.

On a visit to the Smithsonian, and the Achieves on the Mall in Washington D.C., I had an altercation with the security at both places because of the video I was taking.  The pin headed, cock-suckers who had the worthless task of standing around looking stupid all day drove me absolutely insane with their level of regulation, which was senseless.  Government museums and parks have way, way too many rules.  Whenever I have camped in a State or National Park I have always made a point to break their rules intentionally just to cleanse myself of their brain-dead mediocrity.  At the Smithsonian and the Archives the employees were over-staffed and had little to do.  They were just there to be there—hired by a faceless, statist government so that the employees could be counted as a “job created.”   Their usefulness was marginal at best, and I let them know it.

I have personally no tolerance for extortion, and closing down national landmarks because of fiscal issues in the federal government.  Government should not maintain property, or have the authority to shut down anything.  Private enterprise should have that option, and their hours and content should be regulated by their customer base—and nothing else.  The best that America has to offer is not in anything that has the word “federal” in front of it, so it should not be the template for future activity.  Private enterprise is the way to go 100% of the time.  Disney World is clean and well maintained not because of a federal law mandating it, but because they want to take care of their customer base.  And Kings Island at 12:00 AM was clean and tidy even with a ruckus crowd of teen age kids running around in the dark away from their parents.  The Kings Island staff could have waited till the park closed to clean everything up, but they still had people going around the park keeping everything tidy even when they really could have skimmed the task.  It’s the little things that make average things exceptional, and that is seldom if ever seen in a federally controlled property.

So why does the government control so much land if they are so inept?  The answer is in the merits of the government shut down.  And it is simply pathetic!

Lift Me Up To Fly Away: Five Finger Death Punch hits the target for liberty

When I was young I used to wear a KISS (the rock band) shirt that said on the back, “If it’s too loud, you’re too old.”  Back then, even though I didn’t do drugs, curse, or promote decadence as a “leader of the pack,” the same kind of parents who support school levies today were doing the same back then, and they hated me.  And I mean……………HATED me.  They’d declare on many occasions……………..”some day Rich Hoffman………….you’ll grow up.  Someday the music will be too loud for you and you’ll be like the rest of us.”  Well, let me update their sentiments.  I’m now a grandfather and have raised two daughters and been married for over a quarter century.  And “they” are still waiting, their fat jello packed asses destroying several sets of furniture over the last couple of decades are still praying upon the gods of statism for “maturity” to shatter forward progress.  I still play music loudly, and that isn’t going to stop.  Most of the music I listen to are orchestral scores, but occasionally there is a rock song that comes on the radio that I crank up all the way and roll the windows down, even in the hard of winter.  One such song is “Lift Me Up” (featuring Rob Halford of Judas Priest) by Five Finger Death Punch which for me is a throwback to the kind of music that was so popular during the pro-capitalist American period of the 1980s.  I LOVE this song, not only for the tempo, but for the lyrics.

Five Finger Death Punch (also initialized as FFDP or 5FDP) is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2005, the group’s name is derived from classic martial arts cinema. The band originally consisted of vocalist Ivan Moody, guitarist Zoltan Bathory, guitarist Caleb Andrew Bingham, bassist Matt Snell, and drummer Jeremy Spencer.[6] Bingham was replaced by guitarist Darrell Roberts in 2006, who was then replaced by Jason Hook in 2009. Bassist Matt Snell departed from the band in 2010 and was replaced by Chris Kael in 2011.

Their debut album The Way of the Fist was released in 2007. Following its release, the band began achieving success rapidly. The 2009 follow-up album War Is the Answer further increased their popularity, leading to both of the albums being certified gold by the RIAA, selling over 500,000 copies each in the United States. The band’s third album, entitled American Capitalist was released on October 11, 2011 and achieved Gold status within the year. The band has played international music festivals including Mayhem Festival in 2008, 2010 and 2013, and Download Festival in 2009, 2010 and 2013.

Five Finger Death Punch are the recipients of the Radio Contraband Rock Radio Awards for “Indie Artist of the Year” in both 2011 and 2012. They were also honored with the Radio Contraband Rock Radio Award for Album (American Capitalist) and Song of the Year (“Coming Down”) in 2012.

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

What I like about Five Finger Death Punch is that they represent a growing independent movement that is emerging in Los Angeles culture—which is typically dominated by left leaning statists.  The same anger and energy that is driving the creation of songs like the above “Lift Me Up” are the same as those driving sales for Grand Theft Auto 5.  The emergence of this heavy metal rock band represents the growing freedom movement that certainly isn’t “Republican” but leans “libertarian.”  There is a growing sector of the world population that feels the pressure reflected in the lyrics to “Lift Me Up,” and they are looking for anything or anyone to follow to lead them to that destination.  On such destinations, statism is not the answer, or even a viable option.  For people who find the song “Lift Me Up” inspiring, blind compliance to authority is not an option.

In my own life I have a tendency to completely disregard rules I don’t agree with, and I don’t feel any kind of social obligation to obey majority rule.  To me, if the majority of society is a group of fools, I’m not going along with their collective sentiments as an individual.  To provide context to that statement, my children were nearly arrested for climbing on The White House fence during the Clinton years by the secret service, but weren’t because they were encouraged by me.  The other day there were jokes about my age and the knowledge people had that I have still been to court more times than the years of my life.  I have stood in front of court judges more times than anybody I know except for lawyers, and every one of those instances was attempts by majority rule through law creation to bend my will to the collective due to my open disregard for society’s rules.  So I have a lot of experience in that kind of thing and after many, many years, I am no closer to compliance now than I was at any point in my life.

So to those who told me nearly 30 years ago that someday I’d grow up and that the music would become too loud what they were really saying was that someday the statist system would beat me into compliance and I would learn to live with the results………..and that they couldn’t wait to see it happen.  When I pulled into their drive ways to haul off their children for some gallant adventure they declared to themselves as my car disappeared into the surrounding streets with the music levels declining as distance mandated they’d say to each other…………someday the music will become too loud for Rich Hoffman.

Well, it’s not, and I doubt the music ever will, because I love lyrics to songs like “Lift Me Up.”  The words in such songs reflect accurately how I have always felt, and continue to strive for every day of my life.

It ain’t no mystery
I’m all I have left
I’m pushing back running you over

I’ve been thrown down,
Run around
Beaten ’til I hit the ground
I’m telling you right now that it’s over

There’s no room for mistakes
All the parts are in place
Say what you will but say it to my face

Better back the fuck up
Better shut the fuck up
I’ll do what I want
And I’ll never give up

I won’t be broken
I won’t be tortured
I won’t be beaten down

I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Lift me up above this
The flames and the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away

Lift me up above this
The broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away

I’m gonna change history
Enlighten the world
Teach ’em how to see through my eyes
I’m gonna lash back check that fate as a heart attack
Stomp out all the ugliest lies

You can’t convince me to change
We ain’t on the same page
I’ve had my fill
There’s nothing but rage

Best get out of my way ’cause there’s nothing to say
Is that all you got because I ain’t got all day

I won’t be broken
I won’t be tortured
I won’t be beaten down

I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Lift me up above this
The flames and the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away

Lift me up above this
The broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away

I won’t be broken
I won’t be tortured
I won’t be beaten down

I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

Lift me up above this
The flames and the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away

Lift me up above this
The broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away

Lift me up to fly away
Lift me up to fly away
Lift me up

That song is a rebellion against statism, and it makes no attempt to hide it.  That song gives me hope that the entertainment culture has a movement rising within it that reflects the attitude of Five Finger Death Punch as a rock band.  Such people will not blindly accept the statism of public education, of Obamacare, of a one world order through the United Nations.  There is a growing subculture of open rebellion that is very similar to the one that came on the heels of the Jimmy Carter presidency, and with it the sentiments of Five Finger Death Punch who hit hard lyrically, controversially, and fearlessly proclaiming what everyone else is already feeling.  The reason we love that music loud is to hear it over the noise of the statist world, the social rhetoric of the current progressives, the school levy sluts, the eco-terrorists and every anti-capitalist in existence.  I do love such music loud………….as much so now as I always did.

Compliance is not an option………blind devotion to being ruled by some political, or academic elite is simply not going to happen………..not by me, or many people who I know.  They will not willingly give up their guns, they will not simply go to jail without a major fight, and they will not keep saying yes to higher taxes, more imposing legislation, more cops, TSA agents, NSA spies, FBI peeping Toms, and endless parades of IRS agents working for a huge government union that wants to control individual lives and behavior.  Peaceful transition from a free society into a statist one, now that the game is well-known, will not happen.    Young people do not have the money to subsidize baby boomers with Obamacare and still pay off their student loans for jobs that don’t pay for one of those things, let alone both.  An entire generation of young people let down, broke, and pissed off are coming to age and large statist governments think incorrectly that they will just roll over and………comply.  They will not!  Instead, they are looking for anything……….ANYTHING that will do as the song above states………….They want someone—-anyone to lift them up, and let them fly away from the nightmare created by years, and years, and years of massive statist governments that want control on every free mind that exits, and the byproduct of that action is rage driven by realized betrayal.  So turn up the music and let it out………..because many people feel it.  You are not alone.  When you hear that song on the open streets of West Chester, don’t be surprised to look at the car where the song emerges and see me driving.  It reflects my sentiments about the politics of our day…………….perfectly.
