The Cry Baby American Teacher: Reasons why education reform requires a complete change

One of the most laughable documents I have ever read can be seen below, where a so-called “educator” by the name of John Kuhn utters his distorted vision of reality from the point of view of the American teacher. But within the laughs that are sure to come from the minds and mouths of any sensible reader, there are kernels of understanding that can be had from such diabolical diatribes. The most telling revelation to come from the below article is just what teachers instructing the American youth believe the idea economic/education system should be. The answer is that it is Scandinavia that they point to as the world’s most obvious success story. Scandinavia consisting of the countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland has developed a particular model of welfare, employment and economic governance based on universal access to tax-financed social services and social insurance. Scandinavian countries currently utilize full employment secured by expansive macro-economic policies and active labor market manipulation, highly organized labor markets, corporatist interest mediation, and so on. In short Scandinavian countries utilize central control of their resources by government with a large public buy-in with their tax resources, and American teachers are pointing to this cluster of countries as the utopian model they wish to instruct upon the future American society.

Apparently John Kuhn, the author of that article has failed to realize that America is currently in another Revolutionary War, and the cause of the revolution is due to teachers like him. I for one do not wish to follow in the footsteps of Scandinavia, who as a cluster of European style countries are the least of the evil choices that countries long suppressed with kings, princes, and socialism have found that by introducing a few free market ideas—such as IKEA, that they can expand their economic influence. The people of these countries have long been defeated of their individual liberty and outlook for personal freedom. They are often happy to concede their incomes through taxation in exchange for lengthy vacations and hefty retirement packages. But Americans aren’t. In The United States a large number of people have tasted freedom and they don’t want any variation of socialism that Europe has offered, and this is the cause of the current Revolution in America.

John Kuhn complains that parents are not involved with their children, and this is why teachers are more important than ever. But what teachers who think like Kuhn don’t realize is that the same progressive policies that have put teachers as the bastions of democracy and social organization in every community across America, it is those same progressive policies that have destroyed the American family. It is those progressive policies of government intervention, and centralized control of the America family that have told parents that it is the school that will interfere with the power of the father if a child comes to school with bruises on their backs. The American teachers like Kuhn have injected themselves into the lives of many thousands of children and prosecuted parents for suspected abuse often. The modern teacher sees their role as protectors of children from their parents, and as the ultimate instructor of a child’s fate, and in response, parents have surrendered their authority to the John Kuhns in the teaching profession.

To understand why so many parents are on drugs these days and exposing their children to treacherous conditions at home, look to the progressive welfare programs that created no incentive to be productive adults. To understand why the divorce rate is so high look at a college education system that has produced too many lawyers who need divorces to pay for their occupations, and advertise the destruction of the family as a way to put food on their own tables. To ask why parents drop off their child at school and expect a teacher to do all the work look at the social intrusion that the school and their teachers inject in court rooms all over the country and measure that against the amount of money that a family pays in personal property taxes and the answer will present itself. If society is failing it is due to the largest influence in most people’s lives, their public education experience. The fault is on the teachers themselves who bred into society the kind of lackadaisical life approach taught to students in America that has degenerated every year since the inception of the Department of Education in 1979. The education system has been a failure. It has destroyed families, it has taught our youth the wrong values, and it doesn’t lead the world, it follows, and that is just not acceptable.

The reason for the rise in films against the union controlled education system like Waiting for Superman, and Won’t Back Down is because there are many in America who are sick of the job that teachers have done with American youth, and we want to be free of it. We don’t agree with the kind of education modern teachers are providing, and we want to reject the service in favor of something driven from the free market, not centrally located at the Department of Education that is locked arm and arm with The United Nations. We don’t give a rat’s ass what a bunch of stuffy comb-over bureaucrats cooked-up at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2002, where Scandinavia was presented as the education/economic model of the future. It means nothing in a country known for its innovation, where it has been recognized that such education philosophies will not take America were we want to go, and that is to be the “best,” not just a notable player at the table of a world economy.

I personally have no love for the European and in the type of revolution that I see coming, would not hesitate upon that day to plant the American flag square into the eye socket of a European socialist dandy serving on the board of the World Economic Forum. They have a right to their beliefs, but not into forcing my participation—and this is what they are demanding of all Americans, and why there is push-back against teachers. American teachers are the advocates of this European model, this copy-cat approach to education looking to Scandinavia to provide the world with the kind of mixed economy socialism offers in the ultimate utopia with just enough controlled capitalism to make a little money. I reject that approach and I will not participate peacefully. My squabble is not one where intend to impose my beliefs upon my neighbors, but when my neighbors intend to impose upon me with higher taxes, they are forcing my participation in a system that I utterly reject.

Educator John Kuhn is right about one thing however, the anger at education goes beyond corporate donations to education reformers and movies attacking the control labor unions have on public education. The old Bolshevik Revolution mantra about the plight of the proletariat fighting against the wealthy bourgeois is old and worn out, and is always at the heart of what these deranged socialist loving educators utter. It is also what they teach our youth—and it is for that reason that more and more people are beginning to think the way I do—that public education needs a major overhaul and cannot be saved in its current form. It is not the task of America to copy Denmark, Norway, or Sweden, and to a more limited extent, the other Nordic countries: Finland and Iceland. Scandinavian nations are noted internationally for their peacefulness, social and gender equality, strong labor unions and social democratic parties, expansive governments, and high taxes, just to mention a few salient features. They are a socialist oriented cluster of countries that is fine for them, but not right for America and it would be advisable that educators like John Kuhn who are so in love with such places on earth buy a plane ticket and move to those frosty climates to endure the communist dreams of their politicians. In America, I want the youth of The United States to learn from a much different type of teacher and that anxiety will only increase as this new American Revolution churns up past rhetorical ideas and turns to actual military maneuvers. But rest assured there will not be a quiet compliance to the direction intended by the minds of American intelligentsia because they are not acting on behalf of the nation that became the greatest in the world. Instead they wish to be one collective head in a global crowd, which is not even close to being acceptable by the standard of traditional America.

Conflict is unavoidable because the differences in philosophy are too great.

“Sons of Liberty”: ‘Assassin’s Creed III’ and the winds of REVOLUTION

For those who are curious as to what it looks like inside my mind—this preview to the new game Assassin’s Creed III is an accurate representation of my core beliefs.

At the end of my driveway next to my mailbox I have two poles sticking up about four feet tall prompting a couple of young people to ask me as they walked by, “what are those poles for?” I told them that those poles were pikes intended to proudly display the cut off heads of my enemies as I take their bodies into my garage and make belts from their hides. The two teenagers gave me an odd look and promptly headed down the road without looking back. In reality the poles are for displaying the battle flags that the owners of The Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave me a few years ago that I fly on game days. But since its Halloween, I thought a good story would fit the mood of the falling leaves and the cool air so I told the kids something to fill their imaginations. But to be honest, I do think such things and would behave as such if all of society crumbled and I no longer believed that The Constitution in America had any power. Such haunted house rumblings are fun in peace time, but during war, they would become standard practice, and those poles may be easily used for just such a function.

To the timid minds of America in the 21st Century, watered down with years of progressivism, let me establish that my ideas about The Revolutionary War are very dear to me. All through my life, I have flown battle flags from my hand-made forts as a youth, worn patches of American flags on my T-shirt sleeves, and I have been involved in violence in defense of the ideas I hold true, on more than one occasion. I am not a particularly sentimental man. I seldom visit the graves of deceased family members for the simple reason of keeping my mind focused on today and tomorrow and staying out of the past. But there is one monument to the past that gives me great, sentimental reverence, and stirs my emotions greatly when I see it. That monument is the Liberty Tree displayed in Walt Disney World standing proudly across from Tom Sawyer Island. The reason I love that tree is because it’s from the film that gave me my first impression of the American Revolution, the 1957 movie, Johnny Tremain. Listen carefully to this song, it is one of my favorites, and I hum it to myself often. It is the principles of that film, and that song that I think of when I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States of America. And when Walt Disney dedicated the film Johnny Tremain to the youth of America, my four-year old persona swore an oath that I would live by those ideas for my entire life, and that I would defend personal liberty at whatever cost. That cost now is simply name-calling, but if things denigrate any further, I can see a future where those poles at the end of my driveway will host my former statement instead of the later.

I love violence, I won’t misrepresent myself. I have engaged in it in years past, and I will engage in it in the future. But I have learned over the years to use my mind first to avoid the unneeded spilling of blood. Ideas are far more powerful than guns or swords. But let me just say that right now I am salivating and I mean literally drooling over the upcoming video game release of Assassins Creed III set to be released on Halloween 2012, that features a version of my old favorite movie Johnny Tremain that is much more akin to the sentiments of today.

When my wife and I were at a screening of Atlas Shrugged this past weekend, we were easily the youngest in the audience, and we are grandparents now. The youth of today has been programmed through progressive institutions to be slack-minded and physically weak by just about every sector of the global economy, except for video games. They were not at the screening of Atlas Shrugged learning about capitalism from a book written in 1957 and they have no interest in a slow-paced story from 1957 made by the long deceased Walt Disney also in 1957. To reach the youth with the important messages of today it has to be done through movies, books, and especially video games. So it is a great relief to me, that UbiSoft has designated for their newest Assassin’s Creed game a story about The American Revolution, because it will have an even more powerful effect on today’s youth, than the old movie Johnny Tremain did on me as a child.

The game will teach game players—adults alike—about the period of The American Revolution, and the politics that led to creating the freest country on earth. It takes fictional liberty by creating the Assassin character that will interact with famous revolutionary generals, like George Washington, and will paint the picture of what it was like in 1773 on through 1776 in Boston, Massachusetts where the American Revolution was born. Progressives have tried to paint those of us in the Tea Party movement with the derogatory name of “Tea Baggers” and finally there is a story that will show that the European influence that pushed the colonists in America toward more and more imperial control used much the same methods to ridicule the original Tea Partiers, of which the modern Tea Party gets their name.

If a simple story like Johnny Tremain from Walt Disney can create a resonance that gives me goose bumps to this very day whenever I hear the song, “Sons of Liberty,” and provoke me to visit the Liberty Tree every time I visit Walt Disney World like I’d visit the tomb stone of a long-lost family member, I can only imagine what effect a game like Assassin’s Creed will have on a society of youth purposely depleted by their educations to be restrained, progressive, and lack-luster, to learn suddenly that they have an obligation to fight for their independence, and to do whatever they must do to keep it.

As the teenagers walked away from my house I thought of them playing Assassin’s Creed in the weeks to come and finally putting together in their minds that the Tea Party they keep hearing about in the news, and on the tongues of their parents is from the same Tea Party that was shown in the game Assassin’s Creed, and that when the government decides to exercise an Executive Order of martial law, or utilizes the NDAA Act on the suburb streets of America that those same youth will be coming back to my house and asking me, “mister, can you teach us how to put our enemies heads on those poles at the end of your driveway?” I will respond, “Sure kids, step right up, I’ll teach you all you want to know and more,” and I’ll enjoy doing it.

This is where my gray-haired friends in the Tea Party and I differ. I know it makes them wonder about me why I don’t go to the phone bank meetings, and the various seminars about various political activities. I do keep my distance, it’s not that I’m rooting against them to succeed, but there is a part of me that hopes they fail to bring about a peaceful resolution. Because I do spend my time sharpening my swords, cleaning my guns, and staying sharp for the day when the word “RISE” will be more than a marketing campaign for a new video game. It will be the call of the land, and in that time, the plot of Assassin’s Creed will no longer be a fantasy. Because we are all “Sons of Liberty,” and that liberty cannot be maintained in the face of evil that lives and thrives through the phantom menace of collectivism.

Until that day, I will be playing Assassin’s Creed III and enjoying the fantasy of putting something other than flags on the poles at the end of my driveway.

Million Muppet March at the Mall: ‘Sesame Street’ and PBS demand tax money

PBS received $445 million dollars of the $3.8 trillion dollar deficit in outlays during 2012 and because there has been discussion over cutting that aspect of the budget, this has progressives up in arms, since it is their belief that by taking away that $445 million dollars it would mean the end of PBS. Michael Bellavia, 43, an animation executive from Los Angeles, and Chris Mecham, 46, a university student in Idaho, have responded to such a suggestion by separately coming up with the idea for a Million Muppet March on the mall in Washington D.C., just three days before the election to protest the cuts.

This exhibition of progressive ideology is exactly the kind of thing that has ruined America, and you know you’re in trouble when it is not possible to attack the $3.8 trillion dollars applied to the 2012 deficit by dealing with the easy stuff like Public Broadcasting. Rather than have PBS commercialize like everyone else to allow the marketplace to determine winners and losers, progressives insist with the same vigor that they advocate for public education that somehow, some way Sesame Street has a right to be on television, and that the programming done on PBS is of such importance that it be beyond competitive refute.

I personally like PBS. I occasionally watch documentaries and I do listen to the various radio stations since many of them play classical music, which is about the only kind of music I listen to on a regular basis. But the danger is that PBS has become, as it has always been intended, a mouth piece for progressive politics that directly feeds an expanding government. Taking for instance the issue of Sesame Street, which has been relatively creative in how they attempt to teach children, they have made themselves cultural mainstays among America’s youth, is not necessarily good when studied contextually against the back drop of results.

I don’t believe it is good for children to be exposed to the kind of fairness, and socialism that is displayed on Sesame Street even though the intentions are innocent. Big Bird is a social mediator in the lives of the Sesame Street neighborhood in a similar way that social parasites who push school levies and more regulation pry into the lives of their friends and neighbors in reality, and for many of these cellulite infested panicky parents of the future, they received their first impressions that such behavior was okay from Sesame Street where their busy parents plopped them down in front of the TV to watch instead of doing the parenting themselves. Oscar the Grouch is certainly a representative of the poor and downtrodden—after all he lives in a garbage can. Is it not the intention of Oscar to give young people an altruistic view of the poor so they will grow up and accept socialism as the primary driver of fairness in the economies they will contribute to? Is it not true that Bert and Ernie is a homosexual couple living together in complete neurosis and emotional dysfunction? How many young people before the age of 5 have set in their minds that they might want to be homosexual like Bert and Ernie when they grow up, instead of finding a wife or husband of the opposite sex to marry, and have children? Sesame Street is only 43 years old, so it is hardly a staple of American values, tradition and an advocate of self-reliance. It was a concept born out of the hippie era of the 1960’s and reflects many of the values of those gray-haired flower children who were bra burning scallywags in their youth.

All that is fine for First Amendment free speech, and if mothers wish their kids to see that kind of soft core progressivism, it’s certainly an option for them. The question is, if parents had an alternative, or if Sesame Street had to compete with other programs to gain hold of their share of the PBS operating budget coming from the $445 million dollars–would Sesame Street have survived for 43 years? Most likely not, because the product they are producing would have been crushed by competition, because the message they advocate would have been rejected by the public. But because PBS received tax payer money, just like the post office, just like teachers and their public sector unions, just like the deodorant saturated BMV workers, none of them care about market value because they are living in an entitled world where the money just drops out of the sky by mother government, and the content they produce reflects this anti-capitalist trend advocating socialism openly.

Isn’t there a connection between how screwed up and uneducated the youth of today are with the rise and popularity of Sesame Street? Have parents allowed Sesame Street and public education to do the job of parenting, because it was available, and surrendered their authority to the chaos of serving a career that led to splits in the family since the two spouses put their time and effort into values outside of the home? Hasn’t this left young people vulnerable to more government employees in the form of school teachers away from the home, and public employees on their televisions, because that’s what PBS workers are—they are public employees getting a check from the government.

Sesame Street has toys and a whole marketing wing designed to appeal to children, and if the money they generate is not enough to support their product, there is something wrong. I would happily see Sesame Street move from PBS over to Nickelodeon or The Learning Channel if for no other reason but to teach the filmmakers of Sesame Street that it is capitalism that rules in America, not socialism. The tax payers should not be forced to give a public television station propaganda money to work against traditional American values, and for PBS the temptation will always be to advocate for more and larger government, promoting young people to take part in government programs displaying the values established by progressive politics—because that’s where their money comes from.

Like all socialist and communist supporters, progressives when they want something protest in the same collective, squeaky wheel manner that labor unions employ to show democratic consensus. This is what Michael Bellavia, and Chris Mecham, age 46, a university student in Idaho, are doing. Consider the plight of Chris Mecham, a 46-year-old student—what the heck is he studying at 46 years old? When is that bird going to hatch and move on into the big scary world beyond Sesame Street and become productive? Unfortunately, there are a lot of grown adults like Chris Mecham who are not comfortable in the world of capitalism, since all their lives they were taught socialism was good, and they arrive at adulthood only to become professional students—afraid of the world around them. And when they can be students no longer, they cling to the teaching profession because it’s the next best thing to being able to live in the socialist imagery created by Sesame Street where everyone is singing, and playing well together in a world of bright colors and pixy dust. What they forget to notice is that the entire world is made up of puppets, just like the politicians who advocate socialism in the real world. This is what is behind the march on the mall by the advocates of PBS funding. This is also why the public money should be removed, so that the people desiring to advocate progressive policies using tax payer dollars should be eliminated from doing so. The kind of programming the money is spent on may be a drop in the bucket from a financial aspect, but the social damage done is far greater when plotted against the direction society has taken since Sesame Street first aired over 43 years ago. As innocent as it might appear, it would seem that Sesame Street planted too many seeds of socialism in the young fertile minds of children that stays with them well into adulthood only to be rejected when that same mind reaches their middle years and upon the first signs of gray in their hair begin the long process of becoming more conservative as maturity has finally instructed them with experience, the error of their progressive thinking—and the billions of dollars of potential economic damage they have instigated by supporting indirectly socialism which weakens American society through PBS funding.

‘Tail of the Dragon’ Interview on the Doc Thompson Show: Detroit is a “WAR ZONE.”

“Tail of the Dragon is a cross between Smokey and the Bandit, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” That’s what I told Doc Thompson during his 1270 AM radio show in Detroit during the interview that can be heard below at the link. Doc Thompson and I go back a few years, and have fought many school levy battles and public union campaign issues on the airwaves of radio. Doc had me on to discuss a new crisis that is going on in Detroit where the police presence is advocating its support of Proposal 2, which is a state constitutional change to guarantee collective bargaining rights for public employees. Ironically this is one of the major villains that have wrecked the economy of Detroit leaving the town a devastated “war zone.” My visit to the Doc Thompson Show came on the heels of a police union stunt headed by Joe Duncan who had 400 of his officers passing out fliers to fans of the Tigers first playoff game against the Oakland A’s, declaring the city unsafe for entry. Doc and I had seen this kind of behavior before with Senate Bill 5 in Ohio during 2011, and it just so happened that this kind plot line matched the story of my new book.

On the flier Joe Duncan and his officers declared “Enter Detroit at Your Own Risk,” as fans poured into Comerica Park. “Detroit is America’s most violent city and the city’s police force is grossly understaffed.” The intention of the fliers was the old fear game that all public unions use to advance their cause—which is not safety, but financial security. Unions on the backs of the unwitting participants such as Duncan and his officers are caught up in a plot to hatch communism in America designed long ago, and has been gradually accepted over a long period of time using fear tactics of terrorism to advance their agenda. The protesting police officers don’t care about the history of communism. They are working a dangerous job, and they simply want to get paid as much as they can for doing that job. From their perspective it’s only fair. But what they don’t understand, or have the historical background to decipher is the communist infiltration in America during the Red Decade of the 1930’s brought labor unions and collective bargaining ideas to the closest thing of pure capitalism ever known in the world and corrupted it with the taint of collectivism.

Proposition 2 in Michigan is attempting to go the opposite way as Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana who are all working to reform their public unions from extortive control over public services. Seeing the writing on the wall, the Michigan public unions are seeking to protect themselves from these changes by putting “collective bargaining” into the state constitution, which is why the police were at the Tiger’s playoff game looking for sympathy and votes for Proposition 2. They want to ensure that collective bargaining is in place for their entire careers, because it represents why they got into public service in the first place—because the money is great and the retirements come early and is profitable. But what they don’t know is that collective bargaining is the direct result of the Bolshevik Revolution started in Russia in 1917 and is a product of communism. Most likely the police passing out fliers at the baseball game have never heard of a Bolshevik let alone read the Ayn Rand classic about the start of communism in Petrograd from her novel We The Living. I would doubt they read a TV Guide let alone a 75-year-old novel that describes why the police are the modern-day pawns of the communism movement in America.

Detroit is not dangerous because of the amount of police there are. Detroit could hire a 1000 police and they still could not stop all the crime that is happening there. What is happening to Detroit is the same thing that has destroyed the Soviet Union and is currently destroying China. It’s the same thing that has wrecked the economies of Greece, Spain and is about to push France under—which is the influence of Socialist International as a political party advocating a world-wide push toward global communism. In the past Detroit had too many labor unions, so the business left to manufacture in regions where the labor is cheaper. Taxes are too high, there are too many public housing developments, there is simply too much government involvement. Detroit is a victim of socialism and the destructive experiments of communism coming out of the Red Decade. It is those policies of social engineering that had destroyed the Motor City which once boasted a thriving economy into the crime ridden battleground that it is today. It is those same policies that created collective bargaining and a gradual acceptance of communist thought in America hidden on the backs of trusted public sector workers like firefighters, cops and teachers. The blueprint for this Trojan horse of communism in America was outlined in the book We The Living published in 1936 and Detroit is the result of the communist attempt in America.

This was all predicted by Richard Cloward, which I discussed in my book Tail of the Dragon using the fictional Governor Wellington Royce to pontificate the frustrations that many progressives feel to this very day, which is people have unpredictably voted with their feet. Cloward wished to collapse capitalism in the 1960’s in favor of a communist insurrection by toppling the American economy that was overwhelmed with welfare demands. In Detroit, as in every major city in the United States with the exception of New York and Los Angeles, the people with money did as the producers in the book Atlas Shrugged did; they left and took their money with them when taxes became too high. When the money and businesses that made the money left Detroit because of the unions, both public and private, the high taxes, the government bureaucracies, it left Detroit with only the poor government dependents to pay into the tax base draining the city budgets, and crime has exploded as a result. These are hard concepts to discuss which is why I placed them into the context of a very intense story in my book Tail of the Dragon. Detroit is only the most obvious victim of these progressive policies that have masked the intentions of communist infiltration in America.

Detroit is in trouble today because they let themselves be seduced by the fear mongering of many public workers like Joe Duncan in the past, which used fear the same way that a terrorist does, to change social behavior. The crime is high in Detroit because the productive people who created jobs and made all the money in the city left, only to leave the weak to fend for themselves on government programs in perpetual need of more money from a tax base no longer present. Joe Duncan and his officers only want to get paid, because their union has made promises to them that they accepted as an American idea, even though collective bargaining was born in Petrograd, Russia at the start of the communist revolution that began in 1917. The result of such communist dreams is the condition of present day Detroit.

The best thing that Detroit could do for itself is to rid itself of public unions, collective bargaining, and lower tax rates so businesses might wish to return. Detroit needs to create economic stimulation so that the poor and jobless can have a job and become a part of the free enterprise system and force government to get out of the compassion business. Compassion cannot be created by government or enforced through force, and that is at the heart of collective bargaining. It is only good for the recipients of a government pay check. It is treacherous for those who have to actually pay the bill. With that said the worst thing Michigan could do in this upcoming election is vote in favor of Proposition 2. Voters in that “dangerous” city will have to take a hard-line in the sand and stick to it if they wish to save their city. No amount of tax money, police hires, or increases in government welfare can save them from the Cloward strategy that bankrupted their city for aims that are foreign to most Americans. The only way to save Detroit is by voting NO on all tax increases, and expansion of government services, especially those involving collective bargaining.

Altruism is the Mask of Modern Evil: The do-gooder’s of injustice spin a complicated web

Altruism is one of the most sinister forms of human behavior ever to take hold on the human race, and it is so dangerous that like a parasitic organism disguising itself as part of one’s own body with full intention to continue feeding off that body, or else kill it, altruism allows bad negative behavior to be disguised as good. When people declare that they willingly gave to charity, or donated their money to the Boy Scouts, or made a great sacrifice for the good of everyone else, what is really being said is that there are fundamental lies in the life of the propagator that are being concealed. While it is genuinely nice to help others with whatever difficulties they are enduring, such action may not technically be good. It is the definition of “good” that is at fault, the measurement of “good” that is most at error and allows bad people to believe they are acting honorably, and with justice for the “greater well-being.”

When a school levy is proposed to a community, it is propagated on behalf of the “good of the children” when in fact it is a lie, it’s the good of the labor unions and teachers’ bank accounts. When a police or fire levy is proposed to a community it is for the “safety of the neighborhood” that is the mantra of destruction, for the levy does not go to helping make anyone safe, as the work is currently being hired out to complete. It is to protect the pay increases and pensions of the workers without having to increase their personal production to increase their revenue streams. The neighborhood is used as the cover story to hide the greed and evil of lazy public employees wanting to pay off their bass boats while believing to themselves that socially the action is for the “greater good.” Consider the Washington congressman who attends a charity dinner for a “needy cause” but the reality is that the congressman is there not for the cause but to network with lobbyists so that they can learn how they can enrich themselves through the money being funneled into their direction. There are millions of possible variations to these examples, but in short altruism is used as a mask to hide much evil—so much so that any good created from those enterprises is destroyed by the actions in reality.

This behavior trend was never more evident than in the Texas cancer doctor, Dr. Burzynski who has managed to produce a cancer treatment for various cancers including breast cancer and prostate cancer that bypasses many of the violent surgeries that our society has become accustomed to. Throughout the 90’s up to the present there was a lot of panic over Burzynski as the FDA tried to throw him in jail for producing a drug that was a major threat to the pharmaceutical industry. (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW) Logic would declare that Burzynski had discovered a cure for most cancers, and was able to save thousands of patients from destructive chemotherapy. But the problem is not so simple because of social altruism. Think of how during NFL football games the players wear pink shoes and ribbons attached to their uniforms to raise awareness for breast cancer. Think of the public relations industry that is behind those pink ribbons, think of the speeches and fundraisers that so many politicians attend—millions are affected in some way or another to the altruism of breast cancer awareness. Many dirty minds are allowed to conduct their lives as parasites off the human race under the guise of goodness, because they are promoting “women’s health.” Yet there is nothing more beneficial to women’s health than curing breast cancer, as Burzynski is well on his way to doing. Yet he has spent over twenty years defending himself from jail just because he invented a way to cure cancers that would put all the parasites that thrive off those miserable conditions out of business.

Altruism is evil not because it occasionally, accidentally does good to a small few; it is evil because it seeks to hide evil behind the mask of goodness. If the trend of altruism were removed from human society, that mask would not be able to hide such evil, and the evil could then be dealt with in a straight forward way. For each person who heard of Burzynski’s cancer treatments who said, “oh, but what will happen to my job if people are cured of cancer,” each of them are committing a sinister evil in hoping for the continued death and decay that cancer creates just so they can continue to be employed making the stupid pink ribbons that are passed out at football games and other social events to project a belief in goodness. When someone proclaims that society should “sacrifice” their time and money to great causes—look out, there is a villain among you. The great causes are in most cases an artificially created crises designed to use emotional turmoil to bring about financial gain to the villain.

Think of the man who cheats on his wife Saturday night with a grotesque orgy of sin, drinking, gambling, and sexual forays in the bright lights of Vegas then catches the red-eye flight back home to attend church with the family on Sunday. The members of his congregation see in the pews with them a great man who loves his family. They think even higher of the man because he placed a $200 donation in the basket. The man’s wife, the children and the congregation from their vantage point believe the man to be virtuous because he gave a great sum of money to the church to help give the entire congregation a church to gather in to rejoice in the presence of God. What they don’t know, that behind the mask of altruism the man took the $200 from a prostitute who passed out in his Vegas bedroom and that he won over $5000 at the tables that his wife will never know about because he plans to spend that money else ware. The $200 is cover under the mask of altruism to hide his crimes and camouflage his intentions.

If altruism were frowned down upon in our society, ironically things would improve a great deal socially. The thieves who hide behind large charitable organizations, the pudgy socialites of community foundations, the school levy advocates, the fire chief who appears about to give birth crying for a new fire truck, the cancer awareness parasites, the Sunday morning do-gooder, they are all harboring evil by allowing goodness to be eaten away from the inside out through the social recognition of altruism. Unfortunately goodness has been captured in this way by bad people, who are allowed to believe they are good due to the definition of goodness being corrupted by evil, and we are not talking about isolated incidents—this is a widespread tragedy. In almost every case, if the tendency toward altruism is examined honestly, many evils will be seen just below the surface. For those who claim there is not enough altruism in the world, behold, there is your thief. Examine their lives carefully and you will find a villain seeking to hide their crimes behind the banality of altruism.

Want to Make Barack Obama……….MAD: Go see ‘Atlas Shrugged Part II’ on October 12th

Obviously too many people took communism for granted during, and after the Cold War. Because it is shocking how many wrong thinking people have bought into the communist philosophy of collectivism. The more that President Obama speaks, and the closer to Atlas Shrugged Part II comes to opening in movie theaters all over The United States, it becomes more and more obvious that radical collectivists such as the writer of the below article at The Guardian in the United Kingdom are terrified that those of us who do not want or need collectivism desire to cancel our subscriptions which would leave them lost in an ocean of politics without a paddle or pot to piss in.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/oct/02/pity-the-billionaire-thomas-frank-review

Collectivists have performed the ultimate scam, they being completely dependent upon our efforts; have positioned themselves to be our slave drivers by simply using the kindness of our natures against us. The reason that author of The Guardian newspaper hates Ayn Rand so much, and presumes that she is the darling of the right-winged political movement in America, is because such collectivists fear that writers like Ayn Rand will wake up people to the scam communist advocates like that Guardian writer supports. So here is a lesson to those collectivist types, The Guardian does not represent my beliefs in any way. Barack Obama represents nothing of my political affiliation. CNN, MSNBC and all the prime time news stations do not represent my philosophic principles. In most cases, Fox News is too liberal for me. Yet the fools like that Guardian reporter would have people like me believe that I am in the minority, that I am wrong because I am not on the side with the most democratic support. The communists believed that if they dominated democracy with mass numbers, then they would earn the right to rule over the bourgeois with a dictatorship of the preliterate. They call people like me evil for not wanting to spend my entire life sacrificing on their behalf. That is the meaning of The Guardian article, and all those who criticize with such fury the author Ayn Rand.

Those people do not represent me, those communist/progressive political advocates who hide themselves in the Labour Parties under seemingly legitimate politics, or in the media newsrooms taught by radical university professors with their pony tails and dandruff flakes fresh on their unwashed pot infested sweaters. What does represent my point of view, and millions who share my sentiments is stories like Atlas Shrugged, who just had their premier in Washington D.C. where the following clip was released to a hungry public. In the following clip, the message is the exact opposite of what the communists have been telling the world in their not so obvious attack on capitalism. But what those communists didn’t know was that people like me would take that attack personally. Some like me took it so personally that they have invested their life fortunes into the film version of Atlas Shrugged Part II in order to defend capitalism from the leeches of capitalism.

I would say that the most evil thing in the world–the least freedom oriented motive is the utterances from collectivists who have embedded their lives into mine. I resent deeply having to pay taxes toward organizations I find detestable. I find it appalling that I am forced to pay thousands of dollars each year off my property tax to keep a government school open that is run by a labor union I do not support, that teaches children values I don’t share. It is evil to compel my participation through force into such activity, because with collectivists’ attack on pure capitalism they have pulled my participation into their lives against my will. That is evil. If I do not pay my taxes, my property will be taken, which is forceful confiscation.

Collectivists have criticized Mitt Romney for evading his taxes by only giving 14% of what he made as a millionaire. What they fail to understand is that Romney’s 14% is a lot more than any village of workers if they contributed 100% of their entire paychecks for a year they still would not come close to the amount of money that Romney spent in taxes. Romney is called names for being a smart business man, for knowing how to avoid paying some of those looting taxes, because who says it’s good but the collectivist to pay taxes at the levels the collectivists set? The measure is created by collectivists. The implementation is done by collectivists. Only collectivists will call it evil for those who try to get a tax bargain, because it’s their system of communism that they wish for everyone else to be compelled to contribute. But if Romney doesn’t agree with the policies of welfare, the policies of big government, the way public education is taught, he is compelled by force to give money. The only defense he has is a “no” vote at the polls, or hiding his money in a tax shelter, because only a fool would pay their share of taxes deemed by looting politicians for mooching causes.

Out of all the entertainment that is available, not much of it reflects the viewpoints of people like me. Collectivist in their distorted mirror of viewing the world think that I am evil for not feeling compelled to provide a livelihood to the parasites of existence. But in my life, I do not ask others to live their lives on my behalf. I avoid such debts like any sane person would circumvent a deadly disease because to me, they are one in the same. I reject what collectivists determine is my “fair share” and I applaud anyone who avoids paying their taxes by $1. The person who avoids paying millions in taxes I consider a hero! Such a person has avoided the looting collectivists and put harm toward their parasitic ways and that makes them great. The collectivists who call people like me names for wanting nothing to do with their bloodsucking lives are not my friends and they do not share my values.

But authors like Ayn Rand do, along with film makers like Harmon Kaslow, John Aglialoro and Christopher Nolan. They do represent my values. And those values are not evil or even decadent because they are not widely accepted by a class of parasitic people who proclaim that they cannot live their lives without my assistance, compelling me to waste parts of my life on their lives because they don’t understand the value of living. Collectivists are like people caught in quicksand and they wiggle and move grabbing onto anything that’s stable determined to drag others under just so they can save themselves. They get themselves into all kinds of trouble all on their own yet they expect others to save their lives with our own, and call us evil for desiring to leave them stuck. Collectivists expect others to spend their lives helping them out of the quicksand of their own making, which to me is a deplorable evil.

It’s evil to me because every day of life is precious. I enjoy every single second of every single day, and I seldom ever waste my time. I could have 1 million years of life and I would never be bored for one single second of any single day in that entire span of time, because life is meant to be lived, and loved. And I resent when collectivists attempt to hold me up, or waste my time with their trivia, and expect to take my money when I worked hard to make it. It is evil because they stole away the time it took for me to earn my money with my time. The collectivist is evil because they willingly steal from me to serve their valueless needs that are infinite in their expectations. Atlas Shrugged is not a movie designed for collectivists. It is a movie intended to be enjoyed by individualists. Communists will hate it. Communists will call it names. Communists will attempt to keep people from seeing the film with the same vigor that they put up the Iron Curtain to keep their own people from seeing any hints of light from capitalist countries, so they could manage to keep their own people in the dark and loyal to their party rule. Communists who hate Ayn Rand are like an insecure husband who is ugly beyond belief but is married to a beautiful woman, desiring to keep the woman locked up in his bedroom so she cannot see what an ugly fool he truly is, because he knows his wife will leave him for something better if she sees it. Atlas Shrugged is the “other” choice, and collectivists know that if people see it for themselves, that they will eventually feel the way I do, and desire to be left along, to pay the fewest taxes possible and to live life separately from the masses who cast themselves recklessly into the quick sands of life. I am happy, and proud that finally a movie that speaks to people like me has found its way into movie theaters and I will go see Atlas Shrugged Part II multiple times just because I can, and because it angers people like Barack Obama and the writers at The Guardian.

‘Only in America’: Larry the Cable Guy visits ‘Tail of the Dragon’

Only in America starring Larry the Cable Guy filmed an episode that will be shown on August 7th 2013 on The History Channel with my friend Ron Johnson who runs tailofthedragon.com. Ron took Larry on the ride of his life in his Mustang down the Tail of the Dragon and back again in what will surely be a hilarious episode of that upcoming television show featuring unique places and people of America. The Tail of the Dragon, which is the featured location of my new novel of the same name, captures this same spirit only in a literary format that is part of a trend pointing Americans to their cherished landmarks in a rash of patriotism that has only recently been appreciated due to the threat of modern politics to eradicate it.

As Ron was telling about his weekend adventures with Larry the Cable Guy Justin Binik Thomas was reviewing my book version of Tail of the Dragon. Justin Binik Thomas readers here might remember I covered as a victim of the IRS because of his involvement in the Cincinnati Tea Party and the Cincinnati 9/12 project. Justin has attended some of the exclusive Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom meetings in the past and I saw him again at FreePac in Cincinnati where I was signing copies of my new book while also working the Atlas Shrugged Part II booth. I gave Justin a copy since the book had just come out, and I thought he’d enjoy it. He took a week to read it, and then sent me the following email with a blurb that he posted on Amazon.com.

Rich – Your book is exceptional. The race/chase scene had me on the edge of my seat. “Tail of the Dragon” is a dynamic action-packed thriller seamlessly integrating love for America, homage to our history, and true liberty. We ‘live’ it first hand through NASCAResque race through the hills of Tennessee and North Carolina – a trip that captures the hearts of the citizens and even the President of the United States

– Justin Binik-Thomas, Owner, Conservative Media Group

His comments meant a lot to me because like Larry the Cable Guy’s fascination with the Tail of the Dragon as an actual place on the Tennessee/North Carolina border, readers of my novel understand the intent of the story without any difficulty. I didn’t tell Justin much about the book, I simply handed it to him as a gift. Justin didn’t know what to think. He was essentially in the same situation as the average Amazon.com buyer knowing very little about the book or the plot line before reading it.

Needless to say every time a new reader expresses their enjoyment of Tail of the Dragon it gives me great delight, especially when they are coming to the material for the first time. The common reaction that many new readers have is they immediately detect the feeling of Americana that I intended to portray in the story without getting particularly political. The focus of the story is to celebrate what makes an American, not to appeal to any particular political class. Another recent review that showed up on the Amazon.com site in response to another previous comment captured this sentiment.

Lucy Louise says:

I recently read “The Tail of the Dragon” and found the book truly exciting. The author takes the reader on an exciting race for justice that really takes your breath away. I could not lay the book down. My pulse raced as I read to make sure that Rick Stevens completed the race. Normally, I am not a race car fan, but this book kept me right in the car. Mr. Hoffman’s writing skill created visual reality. I hope this book is made into a movie. The ending was perfect. We are looking for a real hero these days and Rick Stevens sure filled the bill. I am buying copies for gifts. Thank you, Mr. Hoffman, for hope. Hope for real patriots that believe our nation is worth saving.

Well Lucy Louise, you are very welcome. The best part of that comment is that the reviewer intends to pass out copies of Tail of the Dragon for presents which is the ultimate compliment. Christmas is coming up and it fulfills my deepest wishes to know that fans of the book think enough of it to give as a present to others. Because the message of Tail of the Dragon is clear, and is often only hinted at in television programs like Larry the Cable Guy’s Only in America. The essence of being an American is an elusive quality that has allowed the meaning to be hijacked by foreign philosophies and it has always been my hope that readers of Tail if the Dragon the novel would find themselves understanding better that rare quality which makes Americans—Americans. By the early comments I have great hope that this task has been executed fully. The story of Tail of the Dragon whether we’re talking about the real place that Larry the Cable Guy filmed his television show at or my fictional novel which explores the concept of freedom demanded by mankind derived uniquely through American philosophy is essentially about the celebration of Americana. The source of the material is the mythical place called Tail of the Dragon located deep in the mountain hills of the Great Smoky Mountains on the western frontier. It is there, where America is as alive as anywhere in the entire country and a place where freedom cries out loudest. The battle lines of politics are as articulate and well-defined there as anyplace on earth.

So thank you Justin and for everyone else who are leaving nice comments on the Tail of the Dragon’s new Amazon.com site. It is for the reasons revealed in those comments that I wrote the book with high hopes to capture an elusive truth known Only in America. So in January look for Larry the Cable Guy’s new TV show featuring the actual Tail of the Dragon from the seat of my friend’s Mustang. But until then and after then, the novel Tail of the Dragon will dig deeper than any cinematography can explore, into the roots of what makes such a place possible, into the heart of an American, and the blood called freedom that feeds them.

‘Tail of the Dragon’ on Amazon.com: A wonderful review from a new reader

It took a few weeks after the initial release of my new novel to get the sales links up for Tail of the Dragon at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com, but they are now up, and slowly reviews are beginning to come in from people who have bought and read the book. I do a lot of work here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom that I do out of a love of independence and because it’s the fight of our day—and I charge nothing for the service. I do it because I want to, and because I know people want, and need the information. But it makes me feel very good when I learn that people thank me for my work by purchasing one of my novels because it tells me that the people who read here value my efforts and they wish to back it the way we determine value in our society—with financial support.

More than money though comes comments like the very first one that went up on the new Amazon link. I was delighted to read that someone picked up Tail of the Dragon and read it, and understood exactly what I was trying to accomplish as a writer, and wrote a review that invoked much passion. Upon reading the comment, I did not expect such articulation, and it means a lot to me to see such words composed on behalf of Tail of the Dragon.

While it’s true that I wrote Tail of the Dragon to be a good ol’ throw back to the fun car chase stories out of the 1970’s, intended to appeal to anyone who played with Hot Wheels cars as a kid—both men and women—I always write with an extra layer of meaning for those who wish to look with deeper eyes. For those who don’t I would say that Tail of the Dragon is a very entertaining work that demands a second read just because the pace of the novel is very fast, and very intense, which is very much on purpose. But I personally enjoy the added layers of meaning in anything I read or write. I always look deeply into every subject, even if it means walking across the street. So it gives me great pleasure to see that one of the first readers who bought Tail of the Dragon off Amazon was able to see the added meanings that I placed within the storyline.

Even better is that the review appears to be from a woman, which gives me great hope that the audience for Tail of the Dragon will be diverse and not gender specific, which has always been my hope. Women typically aren’t interested in car crashes and high speed, mountainous roadways, but they are interested in the kind of men who are. The plot of Tail of the Dragon explores the reason, and that insight was not lost on the reviewer, which for me is the highest compliment. The review can be seen below:

“I just finished this book this morning and it evoked such feeling that I wrote this review immediately. This book speaks to what the “American Spirit” is. It’s not tangible or even fully describable, but we all know it when we see it. I think most of the people in this country have become scared and miserable because we suppress it. We are so worried about offending someone or becoming socially exiled that we fight against the light that shines within. We turn that light off so that we can conform and become socially acceptable to the masses. What is lost in this is our individual greatness. This greatness in each of us is what has fueled American ingenuity and progress throughout history. It created American exceptionalism. Now, we are all expected to be equal. No one is better than anyone else. We are all supposed to take our place and shut our mouths. It is this mentality that will put out the American fire. The fact is that we are NOT all equal. Some people ARE better than others. And that is okay. This is what makes us great. By attempting to level the playing field and give every person an equal chance, we bring down those who are great. The sky is no longer the limit and we all fail equally together. What Rich Hoffman has done in this book is materialize in fictional characters what all Americans, whether they admit it or not, wish they could do; throw caution to the wind and “flip the bird” at the proverbial “man.” His characters speak true to the corrupt collaborative nature of today’s politics and offers a view into how the tides could change if we defy today’s culture. Bravo and well done!”

The link to the Amazon site and the original review is:

http://www.amazon.com/Tail-Dragon-Rich-Hoffman/dp/1589826949/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1347585947&sr=1-1&keywords=9781589826946

Comments like that make all the hours and thought that go into a novel worth the time and effort. If a hundred people told me that they didn’t like the novel, it would not matter because I know that there are people like that reviewer out there in the world who can read a book like Tail of the Dragon and see clearly the emotions it evokes, and that gives me great hope for the human race.

It is not good to always do what one tells you to do. It is good and healthy to thumb your nose at the law from time to time. It is healthy to worry first about the contents of your spousal relationships and not give a damn what societies opinion is of it. Those and many more are the types of themes explore in Tail of the Dragon and while I explore many factual diatribes here at the OW just learning facts and figures won’t help alter the course of the human race, which is needed due to the problems of the day.

What is needed is a focus on stories that powerfully exhibit individuality over collectivism, because the human race must relearn the art of independence. And it is the task of the artists to provide content that starts the thought process in that direction. As a writer to receive a review like the first one at Amazon.com it means more to me than any amount of sales receipts, because it tells me that one person in a large ocean of curious minds understood my deeper meanings set against a middle-aged couple in a fixed up old Firebird running for their lives not from the law, but toward freedom at any and all costs.

Thank you!

I learned recently that Amazon.com will not allow comments unless a recent purchase has been made from their website. Not sure why they do that, but that’s the policy they are working under. If you dear reader have read Tail of the Dragon and would like to leave a review, and find you are having a hard time at the Amazon site, it is because of this policy. However, Barnes and Noble.com does not have such a policy, and your comments would be greatly appreciated. You can find the comment section of Tail of the Dragon at the Barnes and Noble link below:

Why Collectivists Fail: The football example and more Obama failure

To understand what is meant by any collective social philosophy is one of evil, I must point you dear reader to your local workplace.  When it is proposed in any place of business that the “group” must work together and that there must be a “collective consensus” you are witnessing a company that is failing, and using “team building” exercises to hide the fact from the prying eyes of financial minds who determine profitability. 

Do you ever wonder why nobody seems to be interested in doing a good job, or why nobody in a company is ever responsible?  Do you ever wonder why nothing ever seems to get done even though the solutions are clear to you?  Do you wonder why everyone in your workplace seems to walk about like zombies just passing time between the start of a day and the end?  Those symptoms are all reminiscent of a collective social policy in a workplace and point directly to a demise of that company within years.  If the company is very large, it might be able to buy it’s time with decades, but without question, the company will fail eventually when the unprofitable tendencies can no longer be covered up. 

Collective thought is so appealing to the weak and lazy because it evades responsibility.  Nobody is directly responsible for anything which is beneficial to the members of the collective, but this is detrimental to any form of productivity.  Anything that is done in a company that is considered productive is the result of an individual who takes responsibility for a task.  It may be a salesman who has obtained enough profit margins in their contracts that the collective employees can all mooch off of to make their livings but if you trace back any act of productivity, you will find an individual who took responsibility for the action of producing.  I challenge any reader here to report to me a circumstance otherwise, because it will not be possible.  I know as I write this that 100% of the time, it will always be an individual who took action outside the parameters of a collective group that accounts for the productivity of a company, and if a company does not have enough of these individuals who will shoulder a bulk of the responsibility for decisions that directly affect profitability, the company will fail. 

This is counter to everything that our current education system teaches.  Our society is taught that encounter groups, and other consensus building exercises are good, and they are not.  Those are collective illusions designed to make people “feel” they are more important than they really are so they can justify a pay check.  But they do not produce the “risk” that it takes to create the pay that gives the check value.  When a collective endeavor is said to be successful it is because they “collectively” listened to a solitary leader who set their tasks up like a commander on the battlefield and gives orders to their soldiers who blindly follow without the responsibility of thought.  It is not the collective group that achieves a victory; they are simply tires on the wheels of success that can be interchanged with new tires when old ones go bad.  There is nothing about the members of the collective that makes them special, or directly contribute to productivity—but as serving as vehicles for the vision produced by the individuals of responsibility. 

With that in mind, government is exclusively made up of members of society who subscribe to a collective philosophy.  There are no leaders in government, no responsible members who take responsibility for actions.  It was not President Obama who lost billions of tax payer dollars on Solendra.  It was someone else, driven by mysterious economic conditions being manipulated by Wall Street.  It is those crazy profit driven thieves on Wall Street who caused the president to fail, according to him. 

I use Obama as an example because the world perceives him to be the most powerful man in the world, but he only appears that way to those who think with collective reverence.  In reality Obama is nothing more than a typical factory worker complaining about management in a break room.  As a person, he has never evolved into a leader willing to take responsibility for his actions, which drive all his subordinates toward success.  As a member of government, in a mythical peaking order driven by popularity through democratic opinion, he is the king of the non-productive.  But in the real world he is just another parasite riding the back of someone who acts on his behalf. 

This is why all collective systems are evil, because they allow looters to steal the benefits of successful people without the risk of responsibility.  In short, members of the collective reap the benefits of risk without having to take any chances. And like a typical laborer, they believe they are the ones who created success.  The most notable aspect of this phenomena is at a football game where the term “WE” is used a lot.  When a running back breaks 6 tackles to run into the end zone on a scoring drive it is based on the individual actions of the running back.  To a lesser extent the blockers on the field with the running back may play a part in that success, or the coach that called the play, but it is limited to those players of actions who took responsibility for carrying the football down the field for a score.  The players on the sideline had nothing to do with the running play yet they might proclaim “WE SCORED!”  Fans in the stands who are simply watching the game will hug each other even if the person standing next to them is a perfect stranger and they will say “WE SCORED!”  But the reality is that only the running back scored.  Everyone else looted off his individual actions for “collective benefit.”  This is why public schools love “team” sports because it exercises the practice they are preaching the loudest, that collectivism rules the world.  The evaded reality is that the game of football is all about the individual actions of the players on the field who take responsibility when the football is in their hands.  If they shrug that responsibility they tend to lose the game, and all it takes is a few players to make such errors for the game to fail for everyone, just like in business. 

Collectivism is the worst thing to ever happen to the human race.  It allows the weak to believe they are strong, and promotes social evasion as the standard of living.  It must be eradicated from public consciousness otherwise the human race will fail.  We’re not just speaking of nations failing, we are discussing the entire human race, so dear reader, this is not a light comment meant to be discarded five minutes after it was witnessed.  Success in collectivism is just another smoke and mirrors game and it’s time to turn on the lights and declare it the failure it has always been.  Any organization that taught their collectivism, such as labor unions, are detriments to the economic value they are responsible for.  If they have any measure of success it is not due to their consensus building exercises, it is because an individual somewhere upstream from them made the right decision and took responsibility for it that is key to any success. Any other definition is simply wrong and cannot be made to appear as anything but, unless mountains of lies are presented and accepted through the act of evasion.

The Curse of the Modern Progressive: “Evasion” is what they all have in common

Evasion, as discussed previously here at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom is the source of great evil in the world today. CLICK HERE FOR A REVIEW. For context it is important to take note of how evasion on the high-end of the political spectrum permeates virtually everything that occurs, and creates the tendency known today as political stalemates. It is also important to understand how evasion is being utilized on the low-end of the political spectrum as well so that the big picture and full impact of evasion in our modern age can be measured.

Barack Obama waited until September 5th before acknowledging publicly the film 2016: Obama’s America, which is a documentary that proves Obama’s mother was a communist advocate, that his child hood mentors including his grand parents were strong communist advocates, and that Obama has an anti-imperial view of America that explains his bizarre pursuit of world-wide collective salvation. Obama waited to address the negative portrayal of his life even though much of it appears to be true. He hoped that if he ignored the film, that it would just go away. The trouble is, 2016: Obama’s America is making money—a lot of money, and it’s not going away, so Obama lashed out at the film on his campaign website. CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT HE SAID. Obama learned to practice the progressive tendency toward evasion, which was given to his sensibilities from the philosopher Immanuel Kant, who picked pieces of the philosopher Plato and their belief in faith to explain the unexplainable. It was Kant who made so fashionable the liberal tendency to believe in things that cannot be reasoned through in reality. This also leads to the tendency to ignore the facts of reality when the mind has produced other images within its imagination.

Progressives like Obama have an idealized view of the world and think of themselves as heroes for the weak, and conquerors of the oppressors. They have in their minds a version of reality that does not exist in the real world. So when a documentary producer makes a film like 2016: Obama’s America the gross reality of what Obama really is, and what he is truly doing to the world is frightening, and beyond the measure of reality to such feeble minds as progressives tend to be. So their reaction is to ignore the material and hope that if they don’t pay attention to it, or see it with their minds, then reality will reflect their act of not acknowledging it.

The progressive belief that they could wish upon a star or pray to some deity for the demise of a political opponent is in the pretentious belief that they are the center of the universe. This is why such fools belief in global warming, race reparations, and other self-centered microcosmic ideologies built upon the static intellectualism of their limited consciousness. Their adult minds are not much more advanced than the typical 15-year-old, so they fail to grasp many of life’s greater truths in much the fashion that a new-born baby can’t recite the alphabet. They have not yet learned to do such, yet they believe they know everything because through the practice of evasion they ignore the evidence contrary to their world-view.

Obama used evasion to protect his own mind from the reality of the film 2016: Obama’s America. He believes deep down inside like most progressives do, that if they don’t publically recognize the movie, then the movie does not exist. This accounts for many of the media tendency witnessed where things that happen during the Obama administration are ignored, but if the same thing happened during the Bush administration it would have been covered to much greater effect. A great example of this is the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that was one of the greatest environmental disasters in human history. But the media, because they tend to be progressive and practice evasion did not want to see such a thing happen under a president who represented to them a period at the end of the Civil Rights sentence. It’s not that they all conspired to lean left for a political outcome, but they do practice as much of the political left does evasion, which causes them to ignore facts that don’t fit their version of reality.

As another example on the low-end of political theater, is any public school filled with government employees. These are progressive organizations and are virtually all the same. So for this example I will use the well documented Lakota Schools that has so well be chronicled at this site. As I write this Karen Mantia the superintendent who has been hired by the school board to come into Lakota to pass a school levy is attempting to hire public relations personal who can alter the reality of the facts I’ve presented as to why the school as a $200 million plus operation per year should be able to balance their budget given their declining enrollment without trouble. The things I have said do not fit the progressive approach to public education so Mantia and those under her have chosen to ignore the facts and instead believe that they can go around me and convert the minds of the district into their version of reality.

They even went to elaborate measures to separate me from what they perceived the tax increase resistance group No Lakota Levy was. Karen Mantia believes that if she meets with members of the “business” community and gets their support, that she can divide and conquer the resistance to her tax increase and flourish as a result. She is practicing evasion of reality, just like Barack Obama. She is ignoring the reason for the budget crunch, the impact that the greedy labor unions have imposed on a good school district supported by good residents. She is practicing this evasion because her chosen reality has made her wealthy, much more so than she could have achieved on her own. She believes because of this wealth, and because she holds a doctorate that she is on the same level of intellect as the members of the business community, and can play such games with full knowledge of the chess board. But due to her evasion from reality, she is only looking at her pieces, and she does not see the checkmate coming at her because she has chosen to not see it, much to her own demise. Her belief is that her doctorate has real world value which it doesn’t. She fails to understand that I can organize a hundred new No Lakota Levy groups since it was me at the center of the resistance. Talking to other people doesn’t stop resistance. It’s like trying to put out a fire in your house while staying in a vacation hotel. In this case evasion prevents her from recognizing the static reality threatening her static intellectualism so she hopes by ignoring the facts she can have success. That’s why her budget us a mess.

Much of the evasion that Obama is guilty of nationally and Karen Mantia is guilty of locally is that they both believe they can spend money to hide reality. For America this has led to a 16 trillion-dollar deficit. For Lakota it has led to spending the enormous sum of $160,000 on public relations to help cover up the realities of public education. The only hope that these political progressives have in maintaining their version of reality is to convince others to turn off their minds and participate in evasion.

It is evasion and the tendency of it that creates so much harm and misery. If a grizzly bear is about to attack a hiker in the deep woods, the threat cannot be ignored but the progressive minded will try. They will also be eaten. Just closing ones eyes will not make the bear or the threat go away. And the bear has no use of money, so throwing money at the bear or other bears will not change reality. Evasion is expensive and every politician who practices such a thing should be removed from any position of responsibility immediately. They are harmful to themselves, and others in ways that are detrimental to all of civilization.
