Some words that come to describe an Idiot: mooncalf, zombie, congenital idiot, born fool, the mentally handicapped, cretin, moron, fool[1] In fact, it would appear that more than 60 million idiotic Americans are now part of the Progressive Zombie Apocalypse. I have shown you dear reader how to defeat these progressive zombies who are more politely termed as diabolical idiots. If you have forgotten what I’ve said and done in the past click the link below to review.
A quick look at the map of the United States below will show you where these zombies live because they voted for Barack Obama. The map is a county-by-county map of a recent voting record and it can be seen that more than 51% of the zombie voters who are otherwise idiots put Obama back into power reside in these small blue areas. That leaves the vast sum of the red counties unrepresented in American government and at the mercy of the zombies as they migrate out of the diabolical blue areas.
Progressive zombies might look and sound like the rest of us, but they aren’t. Much like the famous Michael Jackson video Thriller, all too often we learn too late that the progressive zombies are our own next door neighbors who have been seduced and consumed by a progressive agenda.
So follow my guide to defeating these progressive zombies by calling them out by name and letting them know that they will not suck the blood out of America without a fight.
But more than anything, do everything you can to avoid idiots, because it is the path of the low intelligence fool who first become progressive zombies. Pay attention to current events, read books, and attend Tea Party gatherings and you can go a long way to avoiding the sinister threat of becoming another progressive zombie in an apocalypse that is threatening America.
The rich have left me at the altar many times so I will not blindly defend them at a sacrifice to myself. I support laissez-faire capitalism which would make more people rich and generate more revenue in America. But I do not speak against President Obama’s “tax the rich” policy to protect the rich against government looters like Obama, but to protect America from socialism which is what such taxing policies are. In fact it is the exact policy of the current president of France who is a member of the Socialist Party. Tax and spend is what they do, and I oppose them because their philosophy is corrosive to productivity. So with that in mind, in reaction to President Obama’s comments to my local congressman, Speaker Boehner about his intentions to raise taxes on the rich, I publicly say let Obama raise taxes, and let him take the responsibility for the result. Let him have his tax increase on the rich so that he will learn the hard lesson that the money raised will only be a drop in the bucket for an ocean of economic problems that are destined to happen because of the Democratic Party’s commitment to global socialism. To fight Obama and his naive understanding of economics is to make yourselves the villains and allow him to snake his way around to continue undermining the Republican Party through the blame game. Obama ran his whole campaign on this “tax the rich” idea, so the American people need to learn the hard lesson of his ignorance. Sometimes the best way to teach a child that the oven is “hot” is to let them get burnt.
The “rich” will shelter their money in other ways so they will not be impacted so badly. The House of Representatives gains nothing by taking a hard-line in the sand on the issue. The snakes will only end up biting Boehner and the other Republicans in the end. Logic does not work with 51% of the American public because they elected a fool for president, so let them have their loot and live to beat them over the head with it when they fail, which they will without question.
To pay taxes is to assume that the product the government produces is good. I personally do not endorse the product the government makes. Their employees are paid too much, there are too many of them, and they are grossly ineffective, and I reject the product. So I will personally avoid through legal means every tax increase thrown in my direction—because I do not like the product. But it is time for the socialists to be called such—and not hide behind the mask of Democrats, or Progressives, and it is time for them to have egg on that face that is revealed for what they are. To fight a fool only feeds their plight as more fools through collectivism will follow like rats the fool in front of them, and its time to let them run themselves off the cliff and onto the jagged rocks below.
Whatever you call pure evil, the story below is the embodiment of it. If in the past you screamed for President Nixon to resign over Watergate you should scream the same thing of Obama over Benghazi, because it is much, much worse. If you declared that President Reagan should be impeached over Iran Contra, then you should say the same about President Obama and his Department of Justice head Eric Holder, because they are involved in much more sinister plans than anything done during that epic failure that would forever tarnish the reputation of Ronald Reagan. Benghazi has written all over it the worst of American politics, it involves death, sex, betrayal, and worse of all, a complete willingness by a sitting President to lie to the American public and to destroy the lives of everyone, and anyone to do it.
Glenn Beck has provided so far the best information about the Benghazi failure without over-the-top conspiracy theories. Many Americans simply are not evil, and cannot begin to wrap their minds around people who are—people who will do anything at any cost to win their position. And when it comes to the highest office in the world compounded with the fact that the players are extreme radicals, the recipient for destruction is self-evident to anyone who cares to look. Listen to these below broadcasts carefully and completely and you will learn all you need to know about the Benghazi situation that is behind the curtain of the General Petraus affair.
General Petraus was deliberately baited and set up to take the fall for a number of diabolical schemes that were already well in motion. And the Obama Administration is attempting to conceal their many crimes by making the entire Benghazi situation into one of sex which was the same strategy Clinton’s Administration used to cover up his perjury conviction in the House of Representatives in 1998, which many people forgot about, due to the successful distraction created by the Lewinsky sex scandal. The public was so infatuated with the presidential semen stains on the blue dress that they could simply not grapple with the severity of the perjury case. This is what you get when you elect lawyers into public office, and Obama is a radical socialist sympathizer who is also a lawyer. Click the bellow link to review the Clinton case.
By setting up Petraus to take the fall for the gun running operation that supplied the terrorists in Libya in order to overthrow Kaddafi, the Obama Administration had planted the seeds that Beck explained in great detail above. It should be obvious by now to understand why Obama called in the military action against Libya while he was in Brazil which caused so much of a stir, but again was easily forgotten due to the sheer volume of negative information the American people were required to digest of the evil being performed right under their noses.
The lawyer tactic used in all these cases, which all these former and present presidents employee to advance their power grabs–to cover their tracks in the wake of much destruction, is the “Crow Test.“ Click here to read my article on this diabolical scheme that is used every single day to cover the many crimes that happen in broad daylight. The sex scandal of Petraus is the overload information item designed intentionally by many evil minds to focus the mass public on information that they find more appealing, and sensational than the menacing truth behind the many deaths that have fallen in the line of fire from a regime of power grabbers that will do anything to have their way. That is why the punishment of these characters must be swift, and decisive. The minds of the public cannot be allowed to be toyed with like children easily distracted by the newest toy in their play pin.
Evil must be dealt with not with careful hands and pats on the back hoping to appease their temperament. Evil must be crushed—completely, and mashed out of existence. Failure of such conviction will ultimately destroy our country for all political parties, no matter what their affiliation. This game in Benghazi requires a conviction against evil, and anything else will allow more evil to encroach itself even deeper into American culture like the fulfillment of a Book of Revelations prophecy.
One of the keys to winning at war, according to the ancient Chinese literary classic, The Art of War is that the military strategist must “possess the heart to take hearts,” meaning you must not show mercy to your enemy even if they squirm on the ground when they are caught and beg for mercy. Such enemies must have their heads cut off when they are strategically outmaneuvered. If they are allowed to live, they will return to fight again the next time more prepared than the previous time, and such is the case over Benghazi in relation to President Clinton’s perjury conviction. The same tactics will be used later to conceal much greater crimes because they worked before, and will work in the future. The recipients of the manipulation lack the heart to take hearts these days, and evil knows it. That is why Benghazi cannot be allowed to be swept under the rug and justice must be pursued no matter who falls from power, or who goes to jail. All involved must be made an example of if America is to preserve itself as a nation and such justice must be pursued as though all our lives depended on it—because in a lot of ways—it does.
Obama dared everyone to come after him. I suggest many people oblige him.
“Pretty tough talk Obama, with your NDAA Act behind you and the entire military much of which you’ve managed to strip away the top ranking officials……………Hmmmm? I wonder what you’re up to?”
For all you ultra conservative Republicans who probably haven’t been in a parking lot fight in 60 years—if ever—Obama is calling you out. Usually when a guy talks smack like he is he’s guilty and trying to bluff his true position with brute force. It worked against Romney in the second debate and Romney backed off like a nice conservative and never brought it up again. Now Obama’s trying to do the same thing in front of the Benghazi congressional hearings. You’ll notice that the labor unions use the same tactic. The best thing to do when these types of thugs mouth off like that is to go over and give them everything you’ve got and then some. Because they are asking for it, and calculate that you won’t do it.
I have presented here on this site virtually anything anybody could want to know about just about anything. I have over 900 articles most of them 2000 words or more and those won’t be going away, but I am going to give myself a break from my daily articles so that I can work on a new strategy that must be implemented in reaction to the news of November 6, 2012. I have thought hard about the situation and as I do think some of the factual articles here are helpful to intelligent people. But the message is not getting through to everyone else.
To see these articles on whatever topics are desired, just Google—Overmanwarrior—(then your topic) and you will find information from this site to match your question.
However, I am more convinced than ever that my roots with mythology hold the key to unlocking the perplexities that confound so many people, and I need to put my 2000 words a day into those projects. Writing 900 more articles about the same things I have for the last three years won’t accomplish anything as I am at a diminishing marginal return on that effort. Instead, that effort needs to apply to a more robust stage where more people can be exposed to it. No matter how good the quality, or content of these articles are, the social title of a “blogger” does not do the trick and get the information to the places it needs to go. So I will be spending my time on that effort for a while.
I will still post articles here, but not in the quantity that I have been. The strategy that we have all been working to needs to be adjusted and that will be my new focus.
It is along these lines, but with bullwhips, and American ideas.
In the meantime, as I work on this new project, I have decided that there is no longer a peaceful resolution to these times, since the election system no longer works, as it has been purposely overloaded with lethargic foreign interest with open boarders and the diabolical moral bankruptcy of our American youth along with the bloc voting groups organized carefully by these same mass public looters. I have offered the arguments with peace and they are here for all to use. For now on, if government attempts to take more away from me, I will take two times more back from them to cover my costs. And if they come looking for a fight, they will get more than they can handle.
To my friends, should they deem a use for my services in defense of themselves from the violence of government………..give me a call. These are the thoughts of the days following the travesty of the Election of 2012. Glenn Beck is a lot nicer than I am, so he is worth listening to. I like his approach. But it’s not the one I will be taking. I will resort to what I know best.
Now that we know Obama will be the President I would expect that Congress will move for proceedings to fully investigate the Benghazi situation and Fast and Furious. If criminal misconduct is discovered, then impeachment proceedings need to be implemented. It is time to stop playing patty cake with the Executive Branch, especially now that it is known Obama will be in office for four more years. That is plenty of time to prosecute him in for the crimes Obama has committed against the vast multitude of the Red States which make up the heart of America.
Let me explain what happened on November 6th, 2012 to all my Republican friends. You are not respected by the media or progressives because you do not go for the jugular when you get the opportunity. The progressives are radical and do not function from a morality that conservatives understand. Obama has wreaked the American economy, been in the middle of multiple scandals and shown that he is a completely incompetent manager. Yet he was voted to re-election in spite of many, many hours of talk radio, television news picking apart his presidency, and countless books and movies being made about his detriment to American life. This happened because Republicans play nice—they play fair, and they assume the game both sides are playing is an honorable one
We are not all playing the same game by the same rules, and when there is a chance to destroy your enemy, you do it. And it is the job of Congress to protect the people from the crimes of progressive politicians.
I can say that Obama is not my president. He is the president of the socialists who live on the East Coast, in high density population centers, and on the West Coast where a constant barrage of immigration coming from socialist countries abroad see American socialism as freedom relative to where they came from. But in the heart of the country, Obama does not represent my values, or the values of my neighbors. So it is time to stop playing nice and go after these parasites to American livelihood before their progressive politics destroy all of our lives which clearly appears to be the intent.
We are 16 trillion dollars in debt and we just re-elected the fool who created that dangerous situation. Where is the justice? Where is the courage? Where is the honor in a system of government who can lie to the American people over multiple issues, and win the privilege to hide those crimes behind executive orders?
We are not one nation, and the enemy is allowed to advance because conservatives do not have the courage, or temper to put them in their place as the encroachments progress. In this last election, it was the aggressive Chris Christie who put his arm around Obama over Hurricane Sandy and it improved Obama’s image just enough to make Obama appear just good enough to look presidential and helpful. That is what happens when conservatives compromise, when they put their arm around a snake and hope that their kindness will keep them from getting bit. Romney didn’t push Benghazi in the debates, letting Obama off the hook and Chris Christie pandered to the President to get the relief money for his state. That is where the election was lost. Both conservative men believe they were being “fair” to Obama by not rubbing salt in a wounded president. Meanwhile Obama was calling for “REVENGE” on the campaign trail when Romney called for “Love.” Do you see now which one wins? Evil presides when good men do nothing, or when good men try to appease evil with kindness.
Obama’s Administration is responsible for many bad things, and it is the job of congress to go after them aggressively instead of letting them play kindness as a weapon to create stalemates which progressives will then take advantage of anyway with blame for economic stagnation such as the upcoming tax increase debates and the debt ceiling. They will play every dirty trick to make conservatives look bad, because they do not worry about the same treatment coming back in their direction. And this election is the statement that their method works over the strategy of conservatives. Now, because of the lack of aggression, America will be forced to submit to Obama Care, and countless other encroachments that the Red States will have to suffer from because conservatives did not have the aggression, or the courage to take away the heart of the progressives when they had a chance. Instead, they let them get up off the mat to become dangerous once again.
So listen to what I’m saying……………….John Boehner, that means you. If you do not act now, and I mean right now while there is still a Republican majority in the House, our nation will be lost forever, and progressive socialism will destroy our country. If you play nice, if you compromise with them, if you play golf with them, if you seek their approval in any way possible, you will lose in the end because they will not stop till all barriers to their destructive desires are fulfilled, and now that Obama has the White House for four more years, Congress is the only protection left to the American people who live in the Red States—in the core of the country, from the European socialists who live on the coast.
We are not one nation any longer and Obama is not my president. He is a thief, a provocateur, and a con man—and I want nothing to do with him or his thuggish strategies. I trusted the voting system and the American people to remove such a threat through a free and open election, and the system failed. That does not mean we all go peacefully into the night and shrug our shoulders and declare that we’ll all do better next time. The time to act is now, and that action must be swift, and decisive, and done with the knowledge that half the nation will be angry about it. But so what……….because the Red States are not happy to have Obama Care rammed down their throats, and four more years of a looting president who is ruining our country with debt and mismanagement. Concession will not bring peace, or popularity. Instead, it will ensure that we obtain neither.
Remember, remember, the actions in Benghazi, and bring justice where it belongs before that too is swept under the rug by soulless progressives and the schemes of destruction.
The endorsement by The Cincinnati Enquirer of ultra liberal progressive goof-ball Senator Sherrod Brown says a lot about why The Enquirer has been losing readership by wheel barrel loads over the last couple of years. They have an interesting problem; they are a leftist media group trying to produce a product to a very conservative city. I mean they know their market, and they have decided to consciously go against their readership, and now they have really hurt themselves by coming out publicly for politicians like Brown. Over the last year The Enquirer has made a conscious decision to prop up progressive causes even more, where in the past they at least attempted to mask their intentions. As time has gone on, The Enquirer has struggled to maintain their readership because they have offered a product that leans more and more to the left in the ultra conservative city of Cincinnati.
In the chess game of politics, it is important to know the rules, and as Election Day nears, or future election days come about, it is imperative to use the entire chess board to defeat your potential school levies or whatever issue you might be fighting. I know some reading this might be tempted not to talk to Michael Clark at The Enquirer or some other reporter because they represent a product that is of the opposite political affiliation, or because you have seen the ordeal I have had with them, and the belief is that if Clark and others are shut out of the Anti-Levy movement then he will suffer and maybe even lose his job out of revenge for what he did to me. But let me report dear reader that the fate of The Enquirer cannot be changed, they have done it to themselves, and Michael Clark cannot be saved either. He is on a sinking ship, and he knows it. But while the ship still floats if the reporters of The Enquirer come calling for interviews over the respective issues around the city, then don’t hesitate to give them interviews and feed them the information you want to get out. Use them to your advantage, because they will certainly use you to theirs.
I suppose this situation comes with a back-story that should be explained at this time. By now, everyone knows that I had a famous melt-down with The Cincinnati Enquirer that was rather epic, and I have said that it was by design, and in many ways I was playing the chess game that anybody who hopes to win such games must play to achieve any victory. And if you are on the front of a movement, then you have to understand what kind of game we are all playing, so you cannot be mistaken into thinking that Michael Clark of The liberal Enquirer is your friend. He’s not, and he never will be. Such people must be handled as though they are two-headed snakes and just because one head is in your hand, you must still guard against the other.
I allowed Michael Clark to make me the “brand” of the No Lakota Levy on purpose, because it served my needs. Every time a product is driven, there must be a “brand,” that people associate with the product. In this case the product is “saying no to tax increases.” My rival over this matter has a brand of their own, so it must be countered. Their “brand” is “children.” That is why most of their promotional material feature children receiving the benefit of their services in some way, because that is how they establish product recognition. So to fight the school levy, I needed a brand of my own, because to win such things and get the message out, you need more than charts, arguments, and yard signs—you must have a brand. People often wonder why I allowed myself to be photographed by The Enquirer with my whips and hat to fight the Lakota Levy—it was because I had to establish a brand for the No Lakota Levy in order for things to take off the way I wanted them to.
This of course carried over into other media markets because it is personal branding that gives them the hook for their stories. Without the branding, there isn’t a way to market the idea to the public; the reporters don’t know how to frame the argument. So banding is very important because it provides the backdrop of the story when a reporter writes. In the case of the levy fighting efforts at Lakota, I took an aspect of myself that was unique and used that for the branding of the levy fight. This worked well until The Enquirer hit the year of 2012 and had to restructure their paper and move around some full-time reporting positions. I knew there was trouble when Michael Clark at the beginning of February 2012 wanted to treat me to lunch to discuss the future of the things, especially the Lakota Levy problems. Clark has family that is involved in public education, and he makes his living reporting on public education, and in his stories I was his villain, and the villain kept winning—giving him a problem. So he wanted to discuss it over lunch.
That is when I knew I had to change the brand because the education professionals and media people where struggling to prop up public education as a heroic endeavor, because I had successfully and rightly—branded them as the villains, turning the tables on their original strategy. I simply used the radical labor position arguments against them, for which they could not defend, because they were up to no good. So the trick with branding is it works great as long as you adapt it to the changing circumstances. In my case my friends in the No Lakota Levy movement were getting tired of the levy fights. Lakota was setting up for another run, a fourth attempt in three years, and we were all getting fairly pissed off because the management didn’t listen to what we told them. They were told to their faces, in The Enquirer, on 700 WLW, on TV, through the brand we had created in No Lakota Levy using my face that we expected management to present to the teachers union a 5% reduction in pay and benefits, which they refused to do. So strategically, this forced a change in the branding from my position, and a change in alliances.
My friends had wanted to merge with an established community group that would help pay the sports fees for some of the neediest students, which was a good idea, but it danced around the whole problem of why the sports fees were cut to begin with. I went along with it knowing that the proposal would cut into the Lakota School System’s branding in a dangerous way, and may actually destroy their public relations efforts up to that point. This effort was needed because the management at Lakota refused to present the 5% reduction to the labor union so more drastic measures were needed in the levy fight. I arranged with Michael Clark to have a story done about our new announcement of giving $10,000 to some of the students so it would help cover their sports fees at the school which were cut as an extortion tool in favor of the labor union. Once word got out what we were doing, the community group bailed on our effort to join with them and some of the most radical levy supporters gathered outside of a Kroger store to smear my name, just as the members of the community group had been doing—because our strategy cut into their branding, and it really made them mad.
So I knew a fight was coming either now or in the near future and one of the first rules of any combat is to strike first and fight from the high ground. Beat them to the punch. Be the first to strike, and most of the time, you will be the victor. This is true even if it’s a fight in a parking lot one on one, or with an entire labor union that has a state organization at its back. The rules are the same. So I volunteered to become the country coordinator for making Ohio a Right-to-Work state, collecting signatures for that ballot initiative, even though many of my friends advised me against it since Kasich wanted no part in such a thing in a year when Ohio had to vote Obama out of The White House. I did it anyway because it was the right thing to do in Ohio, even though it might further tick off the labor unions—which is what I wanted to do anyway as part of the branding strategy. We also as a group at No Lakota Levy started our own community group and upon the announcement of our endeavor I called a press conference that entailed the presentation of a $10,000 check to members of the Lakota athletic department.
When The Enquirer was present along with members of Channel 19 and Channel 5 Lakota had no representative to receive the check because they couldn’t. They knew that in so doing, they would destroy their own branding model of using the children of the school as an extortion tool. We were effectively taking that tool away.
The story appeared all over the city of Cincinnati. It fit into the progressive position of The Enquirer, the altruistic pursuit of community sacrifice, so they predictably ran with it. Clark made it an exclusive story, so it had great curb appeal, which served his needs as a reporter. The danger for everyone involved was that I had changed the branding from a lone cowboy running around Lakota opposing school levies with a bullwhip to a person with an organization at his back that could conger up $10,000 dollars to pay for sports fees. This level of branding was something the school could not deal with, so they worked with The Enquirer for their own assassination story against me to break up the merger that I had formed with the people who provided the money. I had given them on purpose the tools I desired to defend against, since I already had a plan two defend one or both of the issues, one was a blog posting I did about the PTA moms–community personalities who played politics with the situation smearing my name, and the other was my participation in the Right-to-Work effort for Ohio. Of course they took the bait and ran with it as Clark went over the top with the whole ordeal because his short-term gain would solidify his position at The Enquirer during a time when they were doing major restructuring as a company.
It was painful but worth it. After three levy attempts I knew that I couldn’t personally continue to be the face of the No Lakota Levy effort. My branding had worn out, and a new approach would be needed for the fourth, fifth, and sixth efforts, one that had more horsepower behind it, and the best way to kick-start such an effort was to get everybody off their ass with a provocation. As the months went on after that event over 100,000 people visited my Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom site to read my articles on education reform, sex scandals at Lakota, bullying cover-ups, and the raw numbers of how the management was in bed with the labor union in a grotesque way, and how they were using our children as the tool for performing the task. My hope was that if I couldn’t be the face of the anti-levy effort anymore, because the branding needed to be changed—and updated, then I could do something extraordinary to teach other people to participate in the fight instead of it just being about me personally. The Enquirer article that Clark had written about me as a favor to Julie Shaffer–one of the school board members at Lakota was so astonishing that it gave me more readers than all my radio interviews on WLW combined over a two-year period. And most of those people sent kind words of encouragement, admiring that I had stated publicly what many of them had already thought. It was great advertising and really helped take my branding to a public that was quietly angry and looking for a battle cry to get their hearts racing. That battle cry will always be from now on, “Latte sipping prostitutes with asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match,” and I will use it till the next necessity for re branding becomes necessary So the new branding had worked, and it looks as though going into the future that more people are going to be willing to put their name out there and fight these levies, which makes me very, very happy.
So when the news comes calling around election time, don’t refuse them just because you might be angry for what they did, or tried to do to me dear reader. In a game of strategy, nothing happens by chance, and by my own measurement, I knew that my check-mates would cause a stir, which was needed. But there was a purpose behind the madness and I wanted to tell this little story so that people could learn how to fight these types of people using their own tools against them. I watched what was done to Arnie Engle over in Fairfield over the years and I have wanted to help him desperately. He was doing a lot of this levy fighting well before I did, and he has been painted as a radical child hater by all members of the media guided by the union apologists for years now. He has run for school board and fought many campaigns as radicals have attacked his home and threatened him in many ways for nearly a decade, and it became clear to me that if I allowed the media to process me the way that they had Arnie, then I would eventually fall behind in the fight.
During all this activity in early February I sat down with Arnie and listened to his stories. We had a couple of beers together as he explained the cameras that canvas his property collecting data from the vandals who have attacked his home continuously. A short time ago Arnie found himself baited by one of the school levy radicals which led to a conflict in front of Arnie’s house. You can read about that occurrence here:
Arnie is a passionate guy, and he’s right. The trouble that I concluded about him is that most of Fairfield agreed with him about the taxes, and the position the management took in defense of the labor unions, but Arnie held onto his brand too long without changing it. He tried to do all the work himself–he even tried to become a school board member to help the situation from within and he was attacked, attacked and attacked again each more ruthlessly, for standing in the way of what the union wanted. The situation was so bad that in August of 2011 there was a FBI investigation over the school board itself that was quickly forgotten by the time the election came around in November, partly because of the article above.
The Enquirer from 2005 to 2010 used Arnie much in the way they used me. And Arnie used them much the same way that I used them to get the word out. It’s part of the business of branding, and selling ideas through the media. But at a certain point, the brand becomes too big for the issue and even distracting—to the point that it can implode on itself by the sheer weight, and the cycle time appears to be about 3 years at the level that Arnie and I had endured before diminishing marginal returns become self-evident. As I drank beer with Arnie and watched his monitors scanning his yard for attackers I thought of Clark, The Enquirer, Lakota, WLW, the State of Ohio, John Kasich and his Right-to-Work opposition, my own friends who didn’t want to touch the issue so that Obama wouldn’t win Ohio on the back of the union vote, and I thought of my No Lakota Levy friends who wanted to work with a community charity group to repair their own public images after three contentious levy fights where the school board refused to listen to the will of the voters. Yes, war has many casualties, and if you are the brand, it will be especially hard on you dear reader. That is when it is best to strike first, and hit on your terms, and hit them so hard that they can’t get back up again. Punch them so hard that their teeth come out of the back of their head……….metaphorically speaking of course. And while doing it, have a plan to re-brand your product every couple of years or so–so that your material is always fresh.
The media is not your friend. They will use you, and they will turn on you. They will work behind your back to destroy you if they find that you are at cross purposes to their intentions, which is often just survival in a marketplace that is highly competitive. In the case of The Cincinnati Enquirer, they are their own worst enemy since they chose to support candidates like Sherrod Brown and other progressive political positions in spite of Cincinnati’s deeply conservative nature. But you can also use their ignorance to your benefit, and should do so whenever possible. So when they put out the call for a few comments about the school levy defeats that will happen on Tuesday, or the future levies that are scheduled to be put on in March, May, August, and November of 2013, feed them a line and make sure it’s always to your advantage. And always be looking for ways to re-brand your product. If that product is you personally, then have a plan to pull more people into the fray one way or the other. But remember, if you hang on too long with only your branding, the media will seek to make you the story, which will destroy your branding before you desire it to. So make sure to always stay in front of what they are going to do next.
In spite of all these perilous conditions, the good of our communities, our state and our nation are at hand, and if we don’t play this game, then we yield to the forces of manipulation shown above. There are only two choices, you play the game, or you get played. So if it is thought that one can sit on the sidelines and just vote YES or NO on an issue, it’s not enough. You have to play the game, or the game will play you. And the best way to play that game is to figure out what your personal branding is, develop it fully, use it to gain traction in the media, but also use the media to expand your base so that you can change your branding latter to alter your strategy. Failure to do so will cause a collapse of your branding effectiveness. And timing is everything. But do not make the mistake in thinking that you can protest The Enquirer for being too left of center by not speaking with them. They are what they are, and the market will determine their fate. But while they still exist use them all you can to the aims that you determine following a strategy you created through your branding and implantation. And be sure to be the first to punch them—so that the chances of winning improve dramatically. Playing nice is the same as yielding your strategy to the fate of goodness, which is the method of a fool. Because no organization that builds itself on the back of children and hides many evils behind them is good, and will do anything to win. So they must be treated accordingly—with great aggression, and well thought out strategy with layers and layers of deceptive subplot.
And when in doubt, listen to my favorite song shown below at the top setting of your iPod and it will all clear up. Listen to the words very carefully, and be willing to do anything to win. Anything! I am, are you? And that often means not playing nice.
There is nothing I like more than to hear new people coming out front and speaking on 700 WLW from the land of West Chester defending liberty, and protecting conservatives from the vile ruthlessness of the typical progressive. Over the last couple of months George Lang has been that person, appearing on WLW a couple of times. His latest was an important one as he spoke of the Romney/Ryan visit that he had a very big part in bringing to West Chester as one of the three trustees and the only one who isn’t a typical do-nothing politician. George was on WLW to discuss the actual poll numbers for Butler County in favor of Romney and the direction Ohio would take in the upcoming election. Entertaining, smooth, and articulate, George didn’t forget to mention his support of Sharon Kennedy for Supreme Court which he and I enthusiastically prop up over the incumbent and former social worker Yvette McGee Brown.
The rally that Lang spoke about turned out to be quite dramatic. West Chester—and Butler County more specifically is one of the most intense hot beds for conservatives in the entire country. Critics will look at the crowd who attended and instantly criticize that there was a sea of 30,000 white faces with little diversity among them, or any poor. Those same critics would be part of the problem that is infecting America right now with an emphasis on all the wrong things that make up a successful society. Diversity, fairness, social justice are the policies of the progressive/socialist and the people who attended the Romney event for the most part support all those types of things, but not at the expense of wealth production and the general pursuit of goodness.
I view the typical resident of West Chester as a member of a lost tribe that has had to move away from their city homes in the past to seek refuge in the suburbs to avoid the abysmal taxation that goes on in dense population centers filled with progressive politics. Even in West Chester there are progressives who are currently attempting to turn West Chester into a city so they can collect more taxes to expand government more aggressively with more hyphenated nameplates on the desks of future bureaucrats. They have an unfathomable appetite for more, and more government services built on the backs of irrational emotion. Lucky for West Chester there are not many politicians who embody these traits. Two of the three trustees do, but George Lang by himself off-sets them dramatically. He will need a partner in the next election to win one of those Trustee seats away from the vile progressives that currently out-vote him. And the public school of Lakota has many progressive minded people running it, consisting of the school board, the superintendent and most of the employees which is typical for a government institution. Public school enterprises attract progressive minded people, which is a real problem.
As Kid Rock played “Just the Good Ol’ Boys” opening up for Romney’s appearance on November 2nd 2012 the crowd chanted “FOUR MORE DAYS” repeatedly in a not too disguised battle cry to oust the diabolical, lying, scandalous, manipulative, small-minded, thieving, parasitic, obtuse, puppet progressive President Obama from the seat of much destruction that he has personally ushered in to America on the backs of the “good” and at their expense. West Chester as a community does make more money than other places in the country and Obama’s schemes target them specifically for tax increases to pay for his progressive re-distribution attempts. It is because of many Obama type politicians in the past that most of the people in the large crowd moved to West Chester to begin with, because they want to be away from crime ridden public housing projects, schools filled with parents raising their kids on welfare programs, away from apartment dwellers who can vote property tax increases without actually owning property. So if the crowd is too much of one color, and has more money per capita than the average crowd, it is not the fault of the crowd, but of the progressive politicians who attempted to loot them in the past causing them to take refuge in West Chester.
But like George Lang’s interview on 700 WLW some of the most prominent Republicans in the entire country came to this grand event to partake in a movement that has been a long time and coming. As I watched the participants, Romney and Ryan specifically, on the heels of speeches by Speaker John Boehner, Governor John Kasich, Senator Rob Portman and many, many others I noticed a long—evolving plan that had been many years in the making evolving on stage that was culminating in West Chester.
Way back in 1993 there was a special election for an emergency House of Representatives seat that was coming open that spring and Portman was on 700 WLW fighting for it. He was on-air debating seven other candidates in the studio at Mt. Adams back when the station was located down in Cincinnati, but left to avoid the terribly high taxes—(see a common theme here.) I spoke to the radio host for permission to film the Sunday prime time event for my friends within the Reform Party which was a group that Ross Perot had started. Out of all the candidates Portman was clearly the most qualified and honest and I took an instant liking to him. You could tell upon meeting him for the first time that he was not the typical scum bag politician and that he sincerely cared about becoming a member of the House. I told my friends within the Reform Party that if Washington had more politicians like Rob Portman that America would explode with prosperity and goodness. Portman after the debate actually came to some of our Reform Party events, most notably the one at Longworth Hall where my friend and I hung a giant American flag off the top of the building that extended all the way to the bottom. It was half as big as a football field and it took all our strength to tie off such a large flag without it pulling us off the roof. In 1996 when I was manufacturing t-shirts with the logo, “TAKE AND AX TO OUR TAX” Rob Portman sent me a $7.50 check to buy one, which is what they cost me to make at the time. Over the years Portman had never really buckled as a pinnacle of goodness in the cease-pool of Washington politics, and I always admired him for it.
To see Portman on stage with Romney, Kasich, and Boehner along with all the rest who can all tell similar stories of their own, I saw assembled a great climax that was 20 years in the making. For the first time, Republicans had assembled a group of politicians who could actually push back against the progressive, ever-imposing impositions of parasitic existences, and do it without being equally scummy. The people gathered on stage under the flag of Mitt Romney were generally decent people who had built their lives around good family principles and stood for the values of the people gathered hoping that these men and women could stop those progressives because the planet has become so small that there isn’t anywhere else to run. West Chester is the product of good people running away from parasites—people who insist they must live at the expense of someone else. And for those who don’t wish to get picked apart any longer by such people, they flee, just like WLW did from Mt. Adams to Kenwood, and almost every one of the 30,000 people who showed up in the cold to see Romney and friends speak on a breezy November evening.
For the first time in a number of years I am waking up in the morning after such a rally and I can actually see a light at the end of the tunnel. Under a Romney administration it won’t take much to work with Governor Kasich to get the oil fields in Ohio flowing again, and coal will become a major industry bringing great wealth to Ohio. And I know that technologies like thorium will get a serious look as a future alternative to the dirty fossil fuels. Education will be reformed, because it has to be. And it won’t be the methods of old, which Romney made very clear in his speech, but one that embraces competition between schools to raise the performance and lower their costs to the community, which is what I have personally been fighting to help usher in. Just two years ago School Choice was a dirty word, and teacher unions attacked anybody who criticized them. Now politicians like Romney can give a speech without even caring if it makes the unions angry, because they have been neutralized and seen for what they really are. Their masks have been ripped off, and they will have to adapt to a new way of thinking, and Ohio will play a central role in that change. The best way to avoid the extortions of the past, the strikes, the busing cuts, the sports fees is to give parents the power to pick their child up and move them to another school that isn’t playing that kind of game. I believe that within one year of a Romney/Ryan administration the economy will dramatically improve, because in their case all they have to do is turn on the facet, where Obama and his gangs of thugs have turned it off deliberately to induce wealth redistribution on a global scale.
Listening to George Lang on WLW, then seeing the Romney event for myself, I have the feeling that the angry contentions that I have been a part of for many years may finally be coming to an end. There will always be a need to be vigilant. Even Rob Portman voted for the NDAA Act which is a major concern for me, but like most things, good intentions that are actually quite bad are not so obvious to the people who are up close and personal with such issues. They are only obvious in the long view, which I have made something of a living framing for some of these same people for quite a long time now. But finally, there appears to be a day when we can wake up on the morning and not think about what a scum bag is in The White House, or what kind of looting governor is trying to steal money from the rich and give it to the poor just to get himself re-elected again, or that politicians like progressive trustees would embark on a well-planned smear campaign to lash out at Lang for going on WLW to speak his mind. The momentum is shifting—finally for the better and for the first time since the 1992 election when I sat on the steps of a plush Cincinnati hotel and watched with grimy anger a speech by Bill Clinton that was going to be in The White House, I have the kind of hope that I last felt in 1980 as a young 7th grade student at Lakota who had campaigned openly for Ronald Reagan in my class rooms, giving speeches on how the Soviet Union could be crushed with a military build-up and how Jimmy Carter had screwed up the magic of capitalism. Those same youthful eyes watched on that election in 1980 state by state a national election that was a landslide win for Reagan I have wished for a return to that kind of America—the kind of America that brought hope to the 80’s, made a lot of people rich, and crushed global communism. After watching Mitt Romney and the rest speaking in West Chester, I had the feeling that Mitt Romney was more qualified to go well beyond what Ronald Reagan accomplished and that the reverberations of those actions will propel America in a direction of goodness that hasn’t been seen or felt in well over 100 years.
With all that said, Kid Rock was the perfect musical artist to perform on the cusp of such a moment in a land created out of reaction to the imposing policies of progressives for an offensive that will soon flatten them with their stubborn refusal to see reason through the actions of American goodness that is about to turn from blue states to red states on a massive scale. I’m not saying that everything will be fixed on November 7th 2012 when Romney is the next president. But, it is a step in the right direction. The next steps that meander off into the darkness are ones that will require a whole new way of thinking, but that will come in time, and I’ll help usher it in. But to see where the country has a potential to go in a fight that we have all been involved in for over 20 years is wonderfully exciting, and the “Good O’ Boy’s never sounded so good. This is not the Republican Party of the Lawrence Welk days. These are the days of Clint Eastwood passing the torch onto Kid Rock, Mitt Romney and the rest of us who are sick and tired of progressives who want to ruin our lives by giving our freedoms away to the same idiots who cloaked Europe into 1000 years of darkness. It will not be tolerated and will be met with peaceful elections, and if that doesn’t work, then something else. Hopefully Romney will give us the former, so the latter won’t become needed.
In the games of politics however, I am happy to let George Lang take the high road path of Mitt Romney in the arena of elections. George is very good at it, and it has its place. I on the other hand will be in the dirt with Kid Rock where the blood is spilled because it takes both to win a movement, and is what conservatives have been missing for most of a century. But no longer, and it is good to see both elements finally present at the same conservative rally!
I know my son-in-law cringes when he comes to my house and sees my political signs for president Mitt Romney, Ohio Supreme Court Sharon Kennedy, State Representative Margie Condit, and Senator Josh Mandel in preparation for the upcoming election. Since he has become a citizen of The United States he has moved politically toward libertarians in a quest for the kind of American freedom he always dreamed about. He cringes because to him the entire American complex of statism is a failure and is destined to be replaced with elements of anarchy or fall into an out-right empire one step away from collapse. In fact, he wrote a wonderful article on statism complete with 5 very important videos that can be seen at this link:
My son-in-law and I have had many hours of conversations about these issues and I know where he’s coming from. On the other hand, out of those four signs in my yard, I know two of those politicians personally, and they along with many of the media I also know in Cincinnati, business owners, and other politicians, are wondering if I have moved too far to the right and have become an extremist since most of my conversation these days are anti-communist history lessons, progressive bashing, and a determined desire to defund government at every level with severe tax decreases. Over the last three years they have watched me make very valid arguments that once uncovered have made me very angry. And being the kind of person who fixes things—which I have done my entire life from dishwashers to businesses, the evidence cannot be escaped—America is being crushed by statism and pretending that it isn’t a problem won’t make the problem go away.
Many of the people who know me best wonder how I went from a levy fighter of great respect to a radical right-winged extremist (in their view) to the author of the new novel Tail of the Dragon. The answer is that my new novel is my answer to the statism problem I discovered in those previous endeavors without going to the extreme example shown on my son-in-laws displayed videos by Stefan Basil Molyneux. I understand what Molyneux is proposing and why. But I also understand that his view is radically different from what mainstream Americans view as reality that they will simply reject the ideas as dangerous to protect themselves from responsibility of action. But Stefan is right about state run schools advocating terrorism, Stefan is right about taxation being the weapon of larger government for an end only onto itself. He’s also right about the free-range slavery. I know he’s right because I have seen the process up close and personal and can verify the truth.
My answer was to write the novel Tail of the Dragon using the character of Rick Stevens to serve as the vehicle to showing how statism crushes individuality. By having Stevens be the type of character who had grown into manhood without ever being emotionally, or physically broken at any point in his life, to show what the idea kind of man could or should be not only in America, but in the world, I needed a character and a story to hold the image valiantly. Stevens in the Tail of the Dragon is as close to a perfect man as I can imagine making it into his middle years after having children, maintaining a career, maintaining a marriage, paying a mortgage yet never giving up on his pursuit of individual freedom. For Stevens, he had a car which sat in his garage that served as a symbol of freedom from his youth, before taking on the obligations of all the above which are normal for most people. Rick Stevens knows that he is a member of society being deliberately farmed as a serf but he has maintained his resistance in as healthy a fashion as possible, so not go insane—or lose himself along the way.
The plot of Tail of the Dragon almost follows point for point without intending to the issues described in Stefan Molyneux’s videos, even to the point of Stevens being arrested for not joyfully participating in an elaborate tax scheme perpetuated through police traffic citations and being thrown in jail for it. While in jail he is abused in the way that Molyneux suggested, except that Rick fights back and gets himself into all sorts of trouble because he simply refuses to submit. This is what leads Rick Stevens to provoke and flee the law into what becomes the greatest car chase in story telling history
People are often shocked to learn that most of what Rick Stevens went through in the book I have seen firsthand, and is not the work of over-the-top fiction. The plot of Tail of the Dragon is not a commentary on anarchy even though Rick Stevens and his wife Renee openly, and quit audaciously break every law known to the legal system. But it is an attempt to show the reader through a likeable character in Rick Stevens what the world could look like if a person could break free of those chains of serfdom that Molyneux speaks about in his presentations. Rick Stevens is not happy to live as a free-range servant to statism and he seeks to do something about it“.
Additionally, what is different about Tail of the Dragon that sets it apart from other car chase epics in films like Smokey and the Bandit, The Dukes of Hazzard, or even Speed is that the hero has fans working behind the scenes in politics who want what he wants, they don’t wish to be a part of statism, even though they are the people who have helped build such a condition. Often, just like in real life, they find they are servants to a system that grew beyond their control and they do desire to do something about it. Most of the people I know in politics, and the media, are these kinds of people and fancy themselves as free thinkers even though in public they show something else completely. Even people I know in labor unions and on the opposite side of me in political issues are good people when spoken to one on one. Even my most diabolical rival, the superintendent at Lakota Karen Mantia and I had a nice discussion once about motorcycle riding and the island of Key West on more civil shores of political discourse. But what makes these people bad, or evil are the institutions they serve, the steps toward statism that they help build—most of the time without knowing it.
Tail of the Dragon is my answer to three years of needing to put into an artistic format these very difficult problems in a summary that fits contemporary life. If my desire is to fix the problem, I have realized that such a thing cannot be done conventionally, through political office, serving as yet other state lobbyists for specific causes, or even picking a political side and sticking with it indefinitely. The character of Rick Stevens in Tail of the Dragon does not turn his back on his country, as is the temptation regarding his anger over statism. Instead he takes the $20 million dollars he acquires and restores his old car, the symbol of his own private independence into a war machine against the state—against America—but he paints on the roof of his car the old Spirit of 76 flag from the American Revolution to make it clear that he is not giving up on the ideas that founded the freest nation on earth, but rather the mechanism that drove it toward an imperial tyrant headed for its own destruction through statism. His fight for freedom is the fight of every man, woman, and child in the world and it is through him that the reader touches the face of life without the chains imposed by statism upon their minds and bodies.
For me personally, even though I am a bit of a recluse these days not socializing much around town, lashing out at latté sipping prostitutes with real anger, my signs in my front yard are my own personal Spirit of 76 flags declaring that I am still willing to fight for the kind of ideas that built America, even if the system is flawed. I will support those politicians who favor the lowest possible taxes, since it is low taxes that directly fight statism. The minute those candidates support any taxes, they will become my mortal enemy, because in real life I want to see an end to statism and would prefer to bring it about legally even if the extraordinary fantasy shown in Tail of the Dragon attacked statism directly, and gallantly with a fanfare that is dynamic. It is no secret that the ambition in that novel comes from the heart of the author in a frustration observed with real eyes that watched more than one election produce results edging American more toward the abyss of cataclysm than ever produced success. But there is a romantic in me that keep hoping for success, and is manifest in the actions of Rick Stevens in the action packed novel, Tail of the Dragon. In real life, I will vote for people who I think will buy into my anxiety against statism today, or who I think might listen and become converted tomorrow.
The thinking that is required is not one fashioned from team sports, public education, or any other collective organization—because they all point toward a social disposition of statism. As radical as such a concept might appear, only a philosophy against statism will preserve America and serve as the beacon of light the world expects. That is why it is no longer important who thinks what, who belongs to what group, or what political affiliation anybody is. What matters is whether or not individuals are dedicated to freedom for the real sake of it, and not the contrived definition sold as modern serfdom. All that matters is that people get their minds around the necessity to think differently and it is my hope that Rick Stevens will help the pill go down a little bit easier so that the journey toward understanding can begin.
The face of nature and civilization in this our country is to a certain point a very sufficient literary field. But it will yield its secrets only to a really grasping imagination. . . . To write well and worthily of American things one need even more than elsewhere to be a master.
Since my own personal Judas………Michael Clark of the Cincinnati Enquirer has written yet another apologist’s article in favor of public education it requires clarification of the matter at hand, which is the issue of school report cards issued by the Ohio Department of Education, where the highest grade possible is an Excellent with Distinction. The article Clark wrote can be seen below as it was reported by the West Chester Buzz.
(Watch an interview I did with a Michigan radio station over this issue)
Based on that article, any intelligent skeptic would deduce that Superintendent Mantia of Lakota is indicating that she is going to let the rating of Lakota drop to just Excellent following what Mason has done recently. Mason and Lakota have very similar demographics, but like Lakota have not passed a school levy for a number of years and have had to change out superintendents due to intense pressure from tax resistance groups. Mason has a strong tax resistance group and now Lakota has two. Yet Mason was lowered by the ODE to push voters into supporting a future school levy. Little Miami was also punished by the ODE because of their multiple levy failures where Fairfield who just passed their levy last year was increased on their report card. The ODE designation is purely a political scheme designed to increase taxes on property owners in favor of the radical union influence, and reporters like Michael Clark who have a personal stake in maintaining the status quo education system as it is, ignore the mechanisms of the scheme hoping that nobody notices.
For the record I have for nearly two years now favored complete education reform with 100% School Choice in the State of Ohio and I want nothing to do with a teachers union. Teachers should have a right to opt out of a union and until that discussion takes place, I am completely against the current education models that the Ohio Department of Education represents. With that said, the report card system of the ODE is a foolish, corrupt, and out-dated system that favors political pull more than actual results and since reporters like Clark won’t do their job and uncover these types of stories because it might make their wives or reporting contacts angry, then I’ll gladly do the work in their place.
I speak with school board members all over the state and am personal friends with several former school board members, and I will relay to you what they have relayed to me. Schools all across the state sometimes win their ratings by destroying the tests of low scoring students. (proof below) Superintendents make it their task to stay on good political terms with ODE personnel and staff so to keep the eyes of that board from looking too closely at the activity that actually produces the test results. In schools like Lakota and Mason where the social demographics produce students who test better than schools like Princeton, CPS, or Lockland, there are more tests that must be excluded from the sampling and the risk of getting caught is much higher. But superintendents have more or less in their power the ability to pass or fail their ratings at will.
It should be noted that the superintendent of Little Miami stated that their testing suffered because of the 8 failed levies in previous years. By saying such a thing he is declaring publicly that he failed in his job as superintendent, and politically he is playing the game of warning the public that if they don’t pass their school levies, their districts will also suffer a poor rating from the ODE. Mason due to their finances need a levy in 2013 so they have been downgraded to attack the egos of the Mason residents with displaying a lack of school pride so that when their next levy is put on the ballot, the residents will pass it. Lakota has a teacher’s contract that is up in 2014 and it will need a tax increase to pay for the bloated salaries of its employees when the pay freeze expires, so Mantia–the effervescent quarter million dollar politician–is planting the seeds for passing that levy by threatening to become downgraded as Mason was.
The Ohio Department of Education gladly puts on the blinders to this behavior, and they are very aware of what they are doing and why they are doing it. They will of course publicly deny that such things are going on, but in the field of public education, it is the radical unions who run everything at every level, leaving the Ohio Department of Education members without any real teeth to hold any real authority. Since most of the people working in education make extremely good money for maintaining the status quo, there is absolutely no desire to change anything, or question anything even when the red flags are glaringly obvious.
Just to show that the ODE is doing their job they will occasionally pick a school to crack down on—to make a sacrificial victim of—and this year they focused on Southwestern Ohio because of all the levy resistance that has went on in the region—mostly by my personal friends and associates. In fact, I am happy to report that we have tax resisters in almost every school district in these regions and yes—we all talk. Recently the ODE targeted the lowly school district of Lockland for cheating on their test scores because the results were so obvious that nobody could claim to turn a blind eye away from the data. Lockland is already on the verge of a major restructuring from the state, so there was no skin off the back of the ODE to crack down on them in order to show the public that the “system works” prompting the media to report the incident in a public relations campaign designed to attract the attention of the public while all the other schools in the region continue the same practice. The ODE operates very similar to a traffic cop who tends to pull over red sports cars rather than family mini vans even though both are doing the same speed. The driver of a red sports car is potential trouble to the status quo, so they usually get the ticket while the driver of a mini van is probably a responsible citizen who is just in a hurry trying to do their jobs in society, at least in the mind of such cops. Lockland was the red sports car, Lakota I wouldn’t be surprised to learn, is the mini van. Mantia in her political wisdom with the wink and a nod from the ODE may allow Lakota to become downgraded in 2013 so that the community will be incentivized to pass a levy by 2014 when the new teacher’s contract must be negotiated.
For the proof of what has just been said here below is the article of Lockland getting caught by the ODE eliminating 36 low scoring students to improve their state score, just to prove that such activity goes on. As school board vice-president of the Lakota school board, Julie Shaffer likes to say about me, that I “rant” when bringing such activity to public light, be it known that Lockland is simply a small fish and punishment by the ODE does little to affect the education culture that is so defective in Ohio. Somehow I get the feeling that Shaffer won’t post this little bit of info on her Facebook page as she has other things that I’ve written here. Enjoy those lattés ladies.
The sad reality of the entire report card situation is that it is all about job protection and money wrapped up in collective bargaining agreements that are sold on the backs of children. And everyone who has participated in such a folly should be extremely ashamed of themselves. In my first hand experience, the education culture from reporters like Clark all the way superintendents like Mantia is treacherously destructive to a beneficial society because they know better, yet put on the blinders for their own interests that I do not hesitate to describe. I am as aghast at their behavior as anybody and believe me the proof stacks up high. People just choose not to see it. I do not wish to participate in their actions with my endorsement—or silence. The report card evaluations from the Ohio Department of Education have only one purpose and that is to bring in more money in the form of taxes to the schools of their districts. For districts that have shown they won’t pass their levies, the report card scores have been lowered, and for those who have passed their levies, the scores have increased taking into account a one year lag period, such as in the example of Little Miami. And in the case of Lakota, the threat is that the district rating will be lowered as other areas of Lakota’s district show great promise such as the new Liberty Way shopping complex and the 2013 Homearama exhibition in Carriage Hill boosting the real estate world with an inflection of interest that neighboring communities will benefit from. The politician Mantia is positioning herself for another levy run on the backs of these prideful events as some of those same real estate brokers whisper in her ear how best to proceed. And you can bet that The Ohio Department of Education will work with her in every way possible to bring about the results they mutually desire—which is a preservation of an education monopoly that favors the teachers unions at the expense of the children and their parents.
I knew there was big trouble in the Republican Party when I attended a large event with the Governor in the heavily conservative area of Liberty Twp. Every important Republican, financial contributor, and other powerhouses were at this event, yet Jones was not, because he had to come out with Cunningham in favor of the Senate Bill 5 repeal, which would have reformed the collective bargaining agreements with unionized public workers in the state. The bill was backed boldly by Governor Kasich. Jones and I ran into one another at different events, but since he and I had a somewhat public debate over Senate Bill 5, we ceased to speak to each other after that as it was obvious we were working for different political positions. The last time we spoke before the election was at a 9/11 event where police, firefighters and teachers all attended a wonderful ceremony at the Ronald Reagan building at the VOA Park. I had to face Jones during the ceremony and I knew as I looked at him that he saw all the public workers around us as a wonderful, patriotic service to his community and country. I on the other hand saw the public workers as a bunch of social parasites that should all be fired to save the tax money. Even though his beliefs were founded in elements of conservatives, his core beliefs were in bigger government where more public workers were given jobs by created government branches fashioned by spend happy politicians. All during the ceremony I thought of my favorite Christmas song by the Royal Guardsman “Snoopy’s Christmas.” Jones to me was the Red Baron and I was Snoopy and we were gathered in a momentary truce under the American flag. Click the link below for review.
I realized after this event that I could not play politics the way Sheriff Jones and Bill Cunningham did. In the hallway after the ceremony I got into a heated discussion with a union worker who actually told me he was entitled to the pay and benefits gained through collective bargaining and that was the end for me. I could not play both sides of the fence the way politics demanded, and Sheriff Jones was a politician. I was not willing to compromise my beliefs to preserve a system that should have never been allowed in the first place—collective bargaining.
I went on to win my personal political issues, but Jones and Cunningham won their repeal of Senate Bill 5 and the unholy alliance of Republicans working closely with labor unions to support the Democratic Party in a round-about way was revealed and it sickened me to my very soul. I decided that I would step away from politics as a front advocate in the community and cast my extra energy into writing novels and other articles full-time. The political two-faced position required for that game was not something I was interested in. Rather, I wanted to crush the system entirely even if it brought everyone down with it. Sheriff Jones and Cunningham tried to make amends with the Republic Party publicly after the election but behind the scenes Doc Thompson was fired, and 700 WLW took a noticeably leftist direction that coincided with the start of Cunningham’s new Jerry Springer type show. I became a political outcast which actually fit the personal decisions I had decided upon.
Now it is election time again, and Jones is running for re-election. I noticed that the home he skipped out visiting when Governor John Kasich came to Liberty Twp to speak was displaying a large campaign sign for Jones indicating that he had made up with that portion of the Republican Party and was now back in their good graces. Such sights sicken me a bit each time I see them, as it becomes obvious that nobody really deeply cares about anything, or has personal convictions that they will stand behind, even if it means their complete demise. I don’t want to understand people like that. Cunningham on 700 WLW has come out against Obama on the air and seems to be supporting Romney. Cunningham also seems mystified that Romney won’t come on his show to do an interview–but without question the Romney people have done their homework on WLW’s descent into progressive broadcasting and don’t want to provide the clips that doomed John Kasich during Senate Bill 5 and John Boehner even though Rob Portman has tried to make it happen. But all else appears to be normal. Butler County has anti-Obama signs on almost every street except for public employees like teachers, cops and firefighters who are always voting for more government expansion. In fact labor unions are notorious for pushing their members to vote for Democrats, because ultimately that’s where their money comes from.
If anyone gives money to a labor union directly or indirectly they are feeding socialism in America, because that’s what labor unions are. Those who have drunk the Kool-aid of labor unions, and do not question why firefighters have to have an “International” union backing them, or why police have to belong to the Fraternal Order of Police, or why teachers have to be a part of the NEA other national unions with their connections to international unions are kidding themselves. Unions are socialist advocates for Democracy intending communism. That is their history and that is what any money given to them becomes. So with that said anyone who directly pays a government worker their salary is giving money to a union that intends the progressive manipulation of America from a capitalist country to a socialist one. Sheriff Jones, Bill Cunningham, and Bill Sietz all showed that they support the progressive transformation of The United States with their past actions by supporting labor unions. And in this upcoming election, in the very conservative area of Butler County of which Sheriff Jones is the highest representative of law enforcement that there is, you will see his sign for re-election in almost every yard that has a Romney sign……………………………..except one.
At the union hall near the old American Amusement Park almost directly across from the Speedway on RT 4 is one spot in all of Butler County where Obama signs are easy to see, because unions support the socialist tendencies of Obama’s past record. But also among the Obama signs as can be seen clearly in the picture above, is the sign of Sheriff Richard K. Jones and how mixed the lines of politics truly are. It is in such alliances that ultimately behind people like Jones and Cunningham who talk tough are really just putting on a show for the public. They never intended anyone to take them really serious for having any real convictions as their actions dictate their ethics. People generally vote their pocket books, and in the case of public workers, they want government to give them the kind of money that only the looted money from the IRS can provide with the might of the military at their back to do their bidding of tax collection. People like Jones and Cunningham will advise anyone to play the game or get played—which is why they are both successful politicians who have enriched themselves off the public they claim to serve. To them it’s just business as usual, and anyone is a fool if they think the system can be changed.
But I’m not playing. My decision is not to go down that path. I know from their stand point that I am viewed as a radical idealist who refuses to bend even a little to the compromises needed in a world gone mad. Without question, if I could turn off my mind, I may be able to do as Cunningham has done and become the next Jerry Springer even after spending most of his adult life saying otherwise. People will say about him long after he’s gone that Cunningham was a smart man, and he made a lot of money. He will be admired by all for many years because of the money he made. But I won’t be one of them. Because if I were Cunningham I wouldn’t have taken the New York job that made me look like a cheap suit. And if were Sheriff Jones I’d be insulted that a labor union supported me for office. He would say that he’ll take support from anyone who wants to give it, whereas I would not. That is the reason for the tension at the 9/11 event and the reason we haven’t spoken since. I chose not to involve myself in compromises of any kind. Instead I turn to my other work for clarity. I’d rather live my life from dime to dime instead of rolling in the looted money of a political process that creates such blurred lines and involves such a game of deception as is the standard practice of politics in America. For me it’s black and white and must be that way to avoid the many shades of gray that come from the art of political compromise.
