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.

There is only one definition that came to my mind while I watched the new film 2016: Obama’s America and that is “evasion.” Much of the contents of that film are issues that I have covered here at the OW, but there was one scene that taken in context with the rest of the film hit me particularly hard, because it is the hidden truth that reveals why people believe Obama was not born in America, why they believe he is a communist, why they believe he is trying to undo America as a citizen of the world, and not the elected representative of The United States. The reason is the evidence is all around us, we see that something is wrong, but we cannot quite put our fingers on it, because Obama’s behavior is foreign to most Americans no matter what political affiliation they are. Obama as a person, as a social parasite, as a representative of radical change and global justice is using against mankind a weapon that is one of the most destructive devices ever inflicted upon the human race—our own minds, and its tendency toward “evasion.”
The scene that I am speaking about is the one where President Obama’s long time church pastor Jeremiah Wright was offered 150K to shut his mouth in order to preserve the Obama campaign talking points to the media, and when that didn’t work, Obama personally visited Write in an attempt to quiet down the church radical where the two men had a disagreement over the value of the truth. Obama, according to Wright, told him that Wright’s problem was that he had to tell the truth. When I heard that in the context of the film 2016, I felt myself drift into the back of my seat, because it revealed to me what millions upon millions of people only suspected up until this very dire revelation—that Obama has no problem lying to people in order to preserve his version of the “greater good,” and that he executes his tactic using the human tendency toward evasion to perform the task. You can see The Blaze’s coverage of the Wright situation along with the exact dialogue of the discussion by CLICKING HERE.
But first dear reader, you need to understand what I mean by the word—“EVASION.” So here is the definition as it is presented in the Ayn Rand Lexicon. To my knowledge Ayn Rand is the only philosopher to tackle this problem up until this point, and I have read most known philosophers. To those who enjoy disguising their actions of evil against society, they hate, despise, and condemn Ayn Rand to the hells of existence with a fury that is highly irrational. But the reason is because Ayn Rand’s work is the light which ignites the darkness of which the con artists of our day use to conceal their true intentions. Below is the definition of evasion, and the cause of much evil that is committed against all individuals who allow themselves to be governed by less than honest politicians.
Thinking is man’s only basic virtue, from which all the others proceed. And his basic vice, the source of all his evils, is that nameless act which all of you practice, but struggle never to admit: the act of blanking out, the willful suspension of one’s consciousness, the refusal to think—not blindness, but the refusal to see; not ignorance, but the refusal to know. It is the act of unfocusing your mind and inducing an inner fog to escape the responsibility of judgment—on the unstated premise that a thing will not exist if only you refuse to identify it, that A will not be A so long as you do not pronounce the verdict “It is.” Non-thinking is an act of annihilation, a wish to negate existence, an attempt to wipe out reality. But existence exists; reality is not to be wiped out, it will merely wipe out the wiper. By refusing to say “It is,” you are refusing to say “I am.” By suspending your judgment, you are negating your person. When a man declares: “Who am I to know?” he is declaring: “Who am I to live?”
The modern academic is privy to a secret method of attack that they know all too well, because in public education, and college study, the primary export of those institutions is the teaching of “evasion.” Evasion is what school curriculums are instructing, and by conditioning the mind of mankind to this tendency, the academic con artist—people like Bill Clinton, and now Barack Obama can openly manipulate the entire population due to the lack of will society has collectively adhered to rather than investigate too deeply, anything.
Clearly the evidence as presented in the film 2016: Obama’s America is that President Obama was raised by people who wanted America in its wealthy form to fail, and he wishes to give back to the world the wealth they have “stolen” from other countries. Obama is dismantling the American economy through economic destruction, and he’s doing it right in front of a nation’s face hiding his actions behind collective evasion which he knows academia helped create.
When Obama chastised in person Reverend Jeremiah Wright for needing to tell the truth, Obama was clearly frustrated by the Reverend’s desire to not participate in the “evasion” tactics of politics, where a media who wished with all their hearts and souls to support a black president in spite of the many alarms, were willing to overlook. The information of Wright’s refusal to play along with the Obama evasion tactic of manipulating the truth for his vision of the greater good did not compute in the minds of the collective press, who have found their social roles to actually assist the tendency toward evasion. So the press ignored the story, and it is that story that is one of the most telling aspects of the Obama presidency. It shows that Obama does not have a problem altering the truth, and to what extent he expects people close to him to take a bullet for Team Obama. Wright and Obama were close, for over 20 years, and as Wright came under fire for his radical preaching’s, Obama sought to distance himself so not to alarm all the potential voters who might be startled awake from their “evasion” by the radical comparison. When Wright refused to play ball, Obama publicly denied Wright so to maintain the illusion of distance so that the evaders of society could continue with the illusion of reality they wished to see.
Obama’s evils have been done under the eyes of millions, but they have not been detected because they are so vile, so sinister, and so un-American, that voters have been unwilling to admit to themselves that Obama is the first American President who has openly sought to destroy The United States as a superpower in order to save the world from the opinion of a village fool.
Obama himself is guilty of massive amounts of evasion. He is a damaged person raised by radicals in the foreign third world country of Indonesia. He knows of three kinds of living, the derelict huts of Indonesia, the village life of Kenya idolizing a womanizing father who was deeply radical, and his communist leaning grandparents in the paradise of Hawaii where the subculture there resents being Americanized as the 50th state. Obama is a radical who through his own evasion, is not prepared to lead himself across a room full of people, let alone a whole country. And through evasion, because the consequences of being fully aware are inconvenient to lazy minds addicted to their own tendency toward evasion they don’t want to see what Obama is. And why would they, Obama won’t even admit to himself what he is.
2016: Obama’s America is a wonderful documentary because it peels back the evidence that should have always been obvious, and would have been seen openly by anyone who looked. The only reason Barack Obama is president of The United States is because much of society is guilty of practicing “evasion” under the definition shown in Ayn Rand’s definition above. 2016 forces people to look at what they have been avoiding in the light outside of a darkened theater, and for that reason is a valuable film. 2016 is not a documentary that seeks to smear Obama or his role as President. It simply does the work of a journalist who is not practicing evasion. For that reason alone, it makes the case nobody wants to face and that is that Barack Obama does not think like an American, but like a foreigner who blames much of the world’s problems on The United States. The evidence is so obvious that people have taken notice and this has led to wild speculative theories, because there are kernels of truth in the speculation. But for those awake, and not seduced by evasion, it is obvious that Obama intends for America using the power of the presidency to fulfill the anti-imperialist dreams of a father he never knew, to satisfy the whims of many radicals who helped raise him, in order to bring peace to the world that is more in line with a Muslim radical than a patriotic American.
Using the tendency of human evasion against the masses, Obama and his team of insurrection artists have in plain sight singlehandedly put America on a path to its complete destruction, a goal another one of Obama’s old friends named Bill Ayers attempted to do through the terrorist organization The Weather Underground. Obama attempted to distance himself from Ayers the same way he did with Wright. Ayers played ball because to him the end justifies the means, so he and Obama have in common the practice of mass sacrifice, the ability to lie, cheat, and manipulate by any means possible for the sake of grand ideas concocted in the world of academia. But Wright being a man of God by his own definition could not play ball, and said as much to Barack Obama who personally told Wright that he should be willing to not tell the truth to achieve a victory of great significance. It is that truth that was revealed most abundantly in the film 2016: Obama’s America. It is that truth that has been hidden by a society guilty of evasion, and completely unwilling to look at the evidence right in front of their face for all the same reasons that the administrators of Penn State refused to see the crimes of Jerry Sandusky, because they are addicted to the bliss of evasion, and the hard reality that the truth provides to minds not equipped, and too weak to grapple with it. But in 2016, the viewer has no choice. The evidence is clear, and the outcome is set, unless enough people decide to wake up long enough to throw such an idealistic thief addicted to global collectivism out of The White House.

Dark Knight Rises just opened in China and Italy which should be noted are communist and socialist countries, and as stated in my review, Christopher Nolan’s version of Batman is extremely pro-capitalist. I consider Dark Knight Rises to be a novel in film form that is almost as powerful as the work of Ayn Rand. So for China to even let a pro-capitalist oriented film be released in their country is a good sign of things to come, but especially this particular film, it is quite shocking to see that Dark Knight Rises made $31 million during it’s opening week. In Italy which is the size of most American states, the film earned $9.1 million. It was these numbers that pushed Dark Knight Rises up over the $1 billion dollar mark which is quite extraordinary considering the shooting incident in Aurora could have nudged Warner Brothers into a politically correct over-reaction tempting them to pull the film from theaters out of respect for the victims, for a later release date. The shooting did affect the opening box office numbers of Dark Knight Rises, and American audiences could have rejected the film because of the negative press surrounding the tragedy.
Speaking of nudging, in Cass Sunstein’s book Nudge, he addressed how government types can manipulate population patterns with suggestive influence and regulation. It is because of people like Sunstein who worked for the Obama White House as a regulation tsar that people like me think the Dark Knight Rises shooting in Aurora, Colorado was a “false flag” operation. For more on Sunstein and his book about using the power of government to “NUDGE” society into desired behavior patterns created by the political class read this New York Times article:
James Holmes shot up a theater dressed like “The Joker” at a midnight showing of the new Batman film on July 20th 2012 and miraculously seemed to have no background the press could dig into. Within weeks the story disappeared from the news cycle, even though it was a tremendous and sensational story. Oddly enough, just two weeks later, Cass Sunstein decided to leave his dream job with The White House leaving a lot of scratching heads in his wake. Rena Steinzor, president of the Center for Progressive Reform and professor at the University of Maryland said of Sunstein upon the announcement, “Cass Sunstein is the most well-connected and smartest guy who’s ever held the job, But he’s also done untold damage.” Isn’t that very interesting?
But it didn’t matter; because Americans went on to see Dark Knight Rises anyway. They put their fears away and went to the theaters to see the second most popular film of 2012 behind only The Avengers. Any fantasies social reformers had in the depths of their government manipulation attempts evaporated as millions upon millions of movie fans went on to the theater to see Dark Knight Rises. The film went on to make over $434 million domestically. In the international market Dark Knight Rises garnered an additional $577 million so if the Colorado Shooting was a “false flag” operation, it failed. And to the betterment of American life, Cass Sunstein is no longer the regulation tsar working directly for a very socially intrusive White House.
I might not think anything about Cass Sunstein leaving his job so quickly after the Batman shooting if I did not watch public school employees doing the same kind of thing locally when they get into trouble over some issue. It seems to be the M.O. of all government employees to simply transfer around from job to job to avoid investigations into their crimes. School principals, teachers, and superintendents do it all the time, so why wouldn’t Cass Sunstein? They are all the same type of person, meddling government types who seek to socially alter human behavior with the desires of the political ruling class.
Americans and world-wide citizens pushed politics aside, along with their fears of being shot and went to see Dark KnightRises regardless of everything that was against it. And America was able to export a film with a pro-American message to socialist and communist countries planting the seeds of freedom in those oppressive countries. Only American culture can produce characters like Batman which is adored by people all over the world as is in evidence by the type of film Dark Knight Rises is. It’s about freedom, not the manipulative controls by people like Cass Sunstein and Barack Obama.
There comes a time when an endeavor is stopped in its current form due to the achievement of objectives, or the mundane performance of stagnation. In my case, stagnation is not the villain. Even by my standards, I have written a staggering number of articles with the intention of help elevate the mind of the reader with news they were not, or could not get in the general media. By all counts I have achieved my objectives. The antagonists who first poked me into this journey have been crushed by intellectual merit, and the populace has noticed. The political landscape in southern Ohio has changed in part due to this blog at Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom and now decisions must be made on how best to continue.
I am no longer the only game in town doing the job of citizen journalism. I have covered issues from corruption in my local school to the psychology of nations in order to frame properly the toils of our day. And I have been able to do this from thinking way out in front of the quality train, which is where the news is. I see and understand things by nature well before the people in the caboose do, so at first the things I say and do may not be understood until the caboose travels over the same landscape as the engine where I reside. The longer the train, the greater the difference, and time it takes for the caboose to arrive at the terrain judgment of the engine. But I am no longer the only person in the engine room. Joining me are several new minds who I’d like to introduce at this time.
I have always enjoyed young people, and have mentored many. I do not worry when I see there are people who wish to duplicate or improve upon whatever I am doing. I do not feel I must cling on to my post and preserve my monopoly, because if I felt that way, it would defeat my original intentions. To do so would be to suppress innovation and improvement for the lackadaisical ownership of domination, which points to most human problems. It is my job to continue leaning way out on the horizon to see what nobody yet can, and am happy to pass those skills along to whomever wishes to learn, because ultimately that’s how everything improves. In the world of blogging, and citizen journalism there are three young people all about the same age who have read what I was doing and wanted to apply their own skills to the task.
The first person is my son-in-law. For much of the time that I started Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom he chomped at the bit to get on the battlefield and help. But he couldn’t because he was not yet an American citizen, not until January of 2012. At his citizenship ceremony he took to heart the swearing-in and oath to protect America from enemies both foreign and domestic. Out of the hundreds upon hundreds who obtained their citizenship on that day, none more than Paul Townsend took the oath more serious. Within days of that ceremony Paul made plans on how he could help America find itself again, so he started the blog site below which should be visited.
While on the radio with my friend Matt Clark the other day promoting my new book, he also informed me that he too had just started a blog. Matt is about the same age as Josh and Paul, so they all have in common a young person’s desire to make their mark in the world by expanding on what they are witnessing. Matt, maybe more than even Paul or Josh has read Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom intently. I found Matt because I used some of his videos on occasion to make a point, and over time we just continued talking more and more. Matt is a very intelligent young freedom fighter who is a young Glenn Beck type. He already has the mentorship of Doc Thompson in the radio business so it’s only a matter of time before Matt gets his shot at being the next generation syndicated talk show host on par with Rush Limbaugh, or Sean Hannity. Within a decade of this writing, Matt will be a household name. Matt informed me while I was on the air with him that he had also just started a blog, because he had seen to what effect mine had been useful. You can see his work at the following link:
In addition to those new blogs, there have been many others whom I have interacted with over the last couple of years who have also started their own forms of citizen journalism.
Two years ago when I started Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom none of those above links existed, but now they do, and they are growing in influence. It is my hope that they will each attempt to surpass what I have managed, because my intention is not to retreat back into the caboose of life on the heels of great success. But rather to lean even further out in front of the train to push myself knowing that these new citizen journalists are covering ground that I don’t have to any longer. This frees me up to tackle issues that are more specific to my skill sets which reside further out on the invisible horizon.
So I will be approaching my work here at the OW in a slightly different fashion. I view the endeavor as shifting into a higher gear instead of traveling in the low one that I have been. I am able to do this because there are so many people who have joined me at the front of the train and have that ground covered more than adequately. My new task is not to just be one more person saying the same thing as twenty other people, but to say what only I can see, before everyone else gains the sight.
I don’t know if my favorite home town reporter in Cincinnati is Ben Swann of Channel 19, or Brendan Keefe of Channel 9. I’m a big fan of both reporters. They represent “excellence” in reporting to the highest degree. But in this particular case, on this particular day Ben Swann had the testicular fortitude to ask President Obama in a face to face interview about the presidential kill list that has caused a lot of anxiety among people who have been paying attention. Watch this!
Be sure to write Channel 19 and let them know you support Ben Swann and his hard-hitting reporting. Most reporters would have been satisfied to even get an interview with the president, and would have never risked asking such a tough question. But Ben Swann, acting out of journalistic integrity drove all the way across Ohio on a Sunday afternoon to interview Obama in northern Ohio, and when he got in front of the President, he asked him one of the hardest hitting questions Obama has had to answer in person during his entire term. That took guts—serious guts.
Many of us are on that list, so thank you Ben Swann. It is the job of a reporter to keep politicians in check so that secrecy can’t shroud sinister intentions. And the Obama Kill list is one of the most sinister leaks to ever come out of any White House. It was Channel 19 through Ben Swann that put the president in the hot seat, where he belongs, and did everyone in America a tremendous service.
Gery loves my first book and has always been one of its greatest supporters. He showed me how he was prominently displaying The Symposium of Justice on his online bookstore which can be seen at the link below, and we reminisced about the many adventures we had over the years because of that novel.
Gery’s wife is a tremendous reader, and the last two times I’ve seen her, she had her face planted in her trusty Kindle. I told her that I didn’t understand why the Kindle was so popular and she showed me how she could download a lot of books into it and read them on the run. She absolutely loves it. She also mentioned to me that she noticed I never advertised The Symposium of Justice in its Kindle version, and I realized that mostly the reason was that I haven’t accepted the technology. I am still very much in love with traditional books that I can hold in my hands and smell. These download versions are such a new concept that I just can’t accept them the way others have.
The Symposium of Justice is a favorite book among those who have read it, particularly those in our little whip community. The character of Fletcher Finnegan/Cliffhanger is an interesting twist to the traditional Zorro/Batman type of character. As written, Fletcher Finnegan is a combination of Howard Roark from Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead and Zorro. He’s very complex, athletically perfect, and has a tremendous intellect. He is by all definitions a perfect man. He is the type of hero that everyone wants to be, and he lives his life without any fear. The plot tension comes not from his weaknesses but in his interaction with a society that strives to beat him into submission any way possible and the reader’s desire to see how he can survive such a social gauntlet.
My characters are all like this, because to be honest, that’s the only type of character I think is worthy to write about. In my recent Tail of the Dragon Rick Stevens has been found to be of the same caliber of strong, fearless quality as Finnegan. Although I did go out of my way to put Rick Stevens in situations that would show him to be more “human” than Fletcher Finnegan was in The Symposium of Justice, because of the incredible blowback I received from the progressive literary community, which at that time was not so well-defined. Reviewers back when I released that book didn’t know what to think about such a strong character, because socially we have become so used to whiny, snot-nosed, beta men. Nobody but children openly like and admire such strong characters as Fletcher Finnegan. However, the problem is that The Symposium of Justice is a very “adult” book so kids weren’t the ones buying it, it was adults.
Slowly, over time, people have started to show their love of Fletcher Finnegan. Maybe it has something to do with the re-emergence of Ayn Rand’s strong characters from The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged that is contributing to it. Or maybe the Obama Presidency has left a yearning for such characters that wasn’t there in the years immediately following the 9/11 tragedy which placed The United States on the defensive and trillions of dollars of over-reactionary, panic driven debt. Or maybe it’s because people have been reading my blog and are hungry for the kind of characters who live the lives I paint in the millions of words I’ve posted hoping to share my thoughts about how the world should be, and not willing to yield to in our current social state. It’s probably a little of all those elements that is giving The Symposium of Justice new life for a new generation of readers.
There is a scene that occurs in The Symposium of Justice that is so contrary to a typical action story that many who read it the first time through didn’t know what to think. The scene occurs in the chapter titled ‘Salad Bar Goddess’ where a hit man named R.L. Justice tracks Fletcher Finnegan and his family down to kill in front of a crowded restaurant in the town of Fort Seven Mile. The hit man, a traditional tough guy from the south side of Chicago, and feared as most sinister in his profession realizes that upon seeing Fletcher’s wife Misty, the town’s popular city council woman, Justice realized that he was sent to kill the perfect man, because nobody but a perfect man could have a woman as beautiful both physically and spiritually as Misty Finnegan. Once Justice figures out who Finnegan is, he makes eye contact and for the first time in his life sees a man looking back who has not one ounce of fear in him. Justice realizes that even if he could kill Fletcher Finnegan, that to do so would be a crime against humanity and suddenly Justice realizes that he is nothing but an assassin for a corrupt system that seems to only exist to stamp out people like Fletcher Finnegan. It is a life changing moment for R.L. Justice to meet Fletcher Finnegan. No words are spoken between the two men, but the communication that flows between the individual lives of the two radically different men completely alters the direction of the professional hit man. Realizing that his life has been a terrible waste, and that he is simply a puppet to his puppet masters, R.L. Justice decides to do one good thing in his life after that pivotal meeting. He leaves the restaurant, and gallantly throws himself out onto a highway in front of an oncoming truck, and kills himself instantly. That’s the kind of novel that The Symposium of Justice is.
My wife loves the character of Cliffhanger/Fletcher Finnegan. She thinks that young people should have such a positive character in their lives. Finnegan is everything I always wished Zorro to be, but lacked. Finnegan doesn’t bother to pretend to be foppish as Don Diego did in the Zorro stories. Finnegan knows that people don’t know about his vigilante antics as the masked Cliffhanger because society wishes not to acknowledge him socially. They refuse to see what is right in front of them, so there is no need to hide. It is that revelation which confronts the old, seasoned hit man R.L. Justice who considered himself an expert at dissecting human beings in order to identify his targets, and even he did not see who Fletcher Finnegan was, until it was too late. So obviously, I have thought about a sequel to The Symposium of Justice and have been anxious to begin it. My wife has been pushing me for years, and it was one of the first things Gery always mentions to me in our meetings over a long period of time.
So I am going to take the advice of Gery’s wife and embrace this whole Kindle thing. The least I can do in these tight economic times is let people know that they can get a Kindle version of The Symposium of Justice. It costs only $7.99 at Amazon.com and can be downloaded today. So while you’re out there reading my new book Tail of the Dragon, feel free to download The Symposium of Justice and enjoy the obscure exploits of Fletcher Finnegan as he fights the Dark Knights of Order. It’s a contemporary tale with an unusually strong central character that is my idea of what every human being should strive to become. It’s a fan favorite of all my whip friends who love that Fletcher’s weapon of choice is a bullwhip, but it’s not his physical prowess that defeats his enemies—it’s his mind. A man who can do both is the most lethal weapon imaginable, and a society of such men and women are what I as an author strive to see.
Click the picture to enter the world of Fletcher Finnegan without further hesitation. Even though I’ve explained one of my favorite scenes, it is not the only twist and turn in that first writing endeavor that I professionally completed. It is only the beginning of a deep and intricate story that goes to places only literature can imagine.
One of the top 100 places to live in the entire United States is West Chester, Ohio. In 2012 it comes in at #97 which is extremely commendable. This is not the first time that West Chester has ranked in the top 100, which takes economic factors, quality of schools, social life, crime rates, and projected demographic forecasts into the equation. The region around West Chester hosts nearly 100,000 people who shop, work and live in the thriving community that is one of the best places on planet earth to reside. The real factors for why West Chester has been so successful is because there are smart people who live in West Chester, it’s very pro gun, so crime is very low, and it is still run by trustees, which is very direct representation by the citizens. West Chester still has a small town feel with big business wealth generation. West Chester as a business community supports very high-tech business, fine dinning, and has within it just about every conceivable chain restaurant known in the country. It is such a diverse community that it can even support one of the most unusual gun targeting ranges in the entire United States in a business that just open called Shoot Extreme.

Like anywhere in the country however the temptation for decline is ever-present, and in West Chester the desire of the “wanna’ be” communist, the “wanna’ be” socialists, the bottomless pit school levy supporters, the endless fire levies, policies levies, and a yearning to loot from every business in the community and the people who work in them contains the same level of addiction as the typical porn advocate. In West Chester, those types of people are the ones who desire to incorporate West Chester into a city from its current state of a township. These are the people who desire centralized planning, chaotic bureaucracy to hide the corruption that pads their pockets with extra income, but more than anything a nameplate on their desk which tells the community that they are important.
The dream of these functioning socialists are to become city council members who control millions of dollars, and ultimately to have their worthless fingers on the value of business owners who are thriving in West Chester currently. These are the types of people who do not have the ability to produce worth on their own, because they are simply barnacles who act as parasites on society by imposing their will on those who actually create jobs, wealth, and the quality index reflected in the top #100 rating. The advocates of West Chester incorporating wear masks of civic duty to disguise their power grab and part of that mask are cleverly disguised arguments that conceal their tendency to loot, suppress, and control thriving industries by advocating four primary motivations to move from a township to a city. They are:
1) Business’s are not paying their fair share of taxes, (sound familure—Obama comes to mind)
2) A city would be more efficient, (which is completely false. The opposite is always true.)
3) Becoming a city will lower residential property taxes. (False because the same advocates of a city are the same idiots who support endless school levies, any tax savings will be gobbled up by the radical unionized labor of West Chester’s largest employer, Lakota Schools. Cincinnati Public Schools and Princeton come to mind, both have outrageous per pupil teaching costs due to their looting school boards aligned with high tax city councils.)
4) Becoming a city would be more prestigious. (What is more prestigious than being one of the best areas to live in the country? West Chester is already there. Becoming a city would take West Chester into the other direction–Section 8 housing because it makes people feel “worldly and enlightened,” even though it’s just another form of human slavery, larger government enterprises, and more complicated zoning regulations to justify the jobs created by bloated city councils.)
Just like with school levies, the people who typically run for school board and city councils tend to be left leaning political types who fall in love with the prestige a nameplate on their desk gives them. This is because they are not successful people in regular life, and they seek to fill those voids with public service. The smart people, the wealth creators, the right thinking people tend not to run for political office because their time is simply worth too much per hour. To give away 15 to 20 hours a week to community politics is a waste of their time, so it is usually only the fools who run for office, and have no idea how things work in actuality. To expand on the arguments above in favor of incorporation consider these more detailed facts:
1) According o West Chester’s Zoning Dept, about 35% of land in West Chester is zoned for business. This 35% is about 60% developed. According to the Butler County Auditor, this 35% currently pays 58% of taxes collected compared to 42% for residential (keep in mind that residential comprises about 65% of available land in West Chester).
% of Land% of Tax PaidIndex
Business 35% 58% 166%
Residential 65% 42% 64%
To further exacerbate the problem, according to American Farmland Trust, for every $1.00 a resident pays in taxes, they take out about $1.22 in services; for every $1.00 a business pays in taxes, they take out about $.45 in services.
The incorporation movement wants to punish the group that is carrying the majority of the burden…talk about killing the goose!
2) Relative to a city being more efficient a township is the most efficient form of government currently allowed by ORC. The Cincinnati Business Courier in 2008 ran a list of the largest tri-state governments. Included in that list were number of employees and total population. According the CBC, West Chester had 1 employee for every 232 people living in the community. How does that compare to all of the cities on the list? See below.
Municipality Employees/Population
West Chester 1/232
Cincinnati 1/63
Hamilton 1/88
Middletown 1/129
Covington 1/128
Fairfield 1/153
Mason 1/156
Norwood 1/118
Blue Ash 1/80
Lebanon 1/148
Newport 1/115
Oxford 1/174
You only have to look in the papers to see what is going on in most cities around West Chester. The financial outlook is bleak. West Chester is very healthy. Our Carryover (retained earnings in the corporate world) has grown from $700,000 five years ago to $13,000,000 today. You would be hard pressed to find a city that is more efficient than a township.
3) Lowering property tax? Don’t believe this for a minute. Government does not give money back. West Chester currently comprises less than 20% of the property tax bill received by its residents. Let’s pretend that by incorporating we can lower our property tax (not likely but let’s pretend). If we can lower West Chester’s portion of your property tax bill by 20%, it would only lower your total bill by less than 4%. How do West Chester property taxes compare withy other cities located close by? In 2008, the effective tax on a $200,000 property in the following communities was:
CommunityTax
West Chester $3,604
Loveland $4,030
Middletown $3,629
Cincinnati $3,526
Mason $3,453
3) Being a city is more Prestigious…compared to what? By being a township, without extra money to spend, we are able to stay focused on our core competencies; Public Safety and infrastructure. On March 13, 2008, Moody’s Investor Service raised West Chester’s rating to Aa1 for General Obligation Various Purpose Bonds. This is the highest rating of any community in Ohio! Money Magazine in 2006 Ranked West Chester as the 45th most desirable community to live in America. They stated that the only thing hurting West Chester was the lack of medical services. With the opening of the state of the art West Chester Medical Center, that problem has been solved.
The proponents of incorporation discuss the fact that people living in West Chester but working in another city currently pay an income tax anyway. If reciprocity is not granted, these citizens will pay a tax to both communities. For example, if you currently live in Wyoming and work in Cincinnati, you pay a 2.1% tax to Cincinnati, and a 2% tax to Wyoming, for a total of 4.1%. Given the state of today’s economy, reciprocity is not a given. The argument in favor of a city tax is no different from a thief claiming the resident’s money as their own by saying the residents are already giving their money to another thief elsewhere.
Proponents of incorporation also say that by becoming a city West Chester will gain more power and control. They are correct! This will transfer power and control from citizens to the government. As a township, West Chester can not raise taxes without a vote of the people. As a city, this can be accomplished with a vote of council and is the real intention. The desire to incorporate West Chester is the desire to loot the public. The only people who would benefit are the socialist leaning politicians who are advocating it. The benefits of incorporation are only masks to the sinister aim of more bureaucracy, higher taxes, and more centralized control over community activity. The aim of that activity is not rooted in capitalism, but socialism. The dream of these goofy left leaning tax advocating losers would be to see businesses like Shoot Extreme end, while more families would gather on the lawn outside of the West Chester Library to listen to the future city council members pander their socialist dreams with more sidewalks and group hug social events. The key is that city council members would decide which businesses succeed or fail implemented through tax regulation and zoning ordinances, as opposed to the determinations of capitalism. This happens to a small degree now as the pub I mentioned here with great reverence just a few months ago went out of business triggered by zoning issues and unfriendly business practices. CLICK TO REVIEW. Becoming a city would create more of that behavior not less.
The essence of such advances toward cityhood are the crux of many spirited debates when communities far into the future wonder where their declines began. They are concocted in the mind of functioning socialists whose only logic skills are managing parks and other utopian public concepts that are non-profit in their orientation. Cities are big, and too complex to manage by a part-time staff of trustees, and are attempts at government expansion by progressive minded individuals. They are a detriment to a thriving economy, and only benefit the political class, as everyone else in such communities find themselves subservient to liberal mysticism. And that is not the direction that a great community like West Chester should be contemplating even remotely. The advocates are simply looters with their eye on a potential prize of $20 million dollars of additional revenue that could be tallied up by the politicians and their love of nameplates. The money is to be spent creating jobs that report to the politicians who stole the money to begin with; so that in their small, futile minds, they can pat themselves on the back and pretend they are job creators just like the rest of the businesses in West Chester who are currently successful whereas the politicians are not.
For the back-story on this issue refer to the below article:
Right on queue Monroe Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli has indicated that she will be resigning from her position after the levy failure in August ahead of a November attempt. She says that the levy failure has nothing to do with her decision to give up an annual salary of $116,000 so she can work as a consultant for Butler County Educational Services, but the pattern is all too reminiscent of the behavior of the school districts’ immediate neighbor Lakota.
Two months after the levy defeat at Lakota in November of 2010 Mike Taylor retired stepping out of the heat that was brewing as it was revealed that the cause of the tax increase was due to excessively high teacher salaries, and that the superintendent had not even made an effort to manage his costs. In a video Taylor filmed before the 2010 levy attempt Taylor declared that teachers did not make enough for their intense 7.5 hour day 9 months out of the year, and that he thought teachers should be paid more!
Well it is that type of mismanagement of tax payer resources that have caused school districts all over Ohio to effectively go bankrupt, including Monroe which is now in a state fiscal emergency. If a superintendent who makes six figures isn’t going to manage the costs of their employees, then they are failures. Mike was smart to jump off the ship at Lakota because the game had been exposed, and he knew it. So he did the smart thing and retired.
Lakota actually improved their performance over the next 6 months without a superintendent which proved that the superintendent positions are just token occupations designed to shield school boards from direct responsibility when things go wrong. The superintendent is simply a spokesman for the schools and are more comparable to a public relations consultant whose sole propose is to pass tax increases than a CEO who runs a major company. Lakota prior to another levy attempt in the fall of 2011 hired the quarter million dollar double dipping delegator, the former retiree from Sycamore Schools Karen Mantia. Since bringing her on to exclusively pass a school levy Lakota has spent well over $250,000 in compensation on Mantia, plus another $160,000 dollars on public relations in just over a year’s time. Nearly half a million dollars alone has been spent on creating a positive public image for a school that is supposed to be teaching children. But the obvious function of the education jobs are to create government jobs with tax payer dollars and the superintendent is the guardian of that creation, not the regulation of cost. Superintendents are sold to the community as CEO’s, but their actual function is simply public relations. Mantia did nothing after Lakota’s levy failures to present to the education union a 5% reduction in their inflated wages and benefits in order to balance their budget; instead she participated in cutting electives, increasing sports fees, and aggressive busing reductions. The purpose of these measures were not to cut costs, but to punish the public for not passing a levy. (How do I know that? Because I am personal friends with several former and current school board members who have given me their notes from Levy University taught at their yearly OSBA conference in Columbus. Bet you won’t read about that in your local newspaper.)
The same type of extortion is going on at Monroe. Voters just turned down a vote in August yet the school board put another attempt on the ballot for November. Their intention is to keep putting a tax increase on the ballot until the public gives up resisting it. This is radical politics in the extreme and is a popular union tactic that is responsible for how the wages through collective bargaining drove up the labor costs of Lakota, and Monroe in the first place to average salaries of over $60K per year. Collective bargaining is the villain, since it is the “collective” body of the school employees who make demands through threats of strike to get short work days, extremely low health insurance costs, and 2% to 3% increases for all their years of employment. Teachers all through the previous decade would threaten to strike at the slightest mention of health insurance increases sending a strong message to school boards to not even attempt to regulate the wages, so nobody did.
The result is out-of-control budgets in all of Ohio’s 614 school districts and the only way they have to balance their budget is to increase taxes. This is the fault of the unions, and they are hiding in the backgrounds leaving school superintendents to take the bullets for them, people like Elizabeth Lolli who was paid six figures to put up and shut up. Monroe hopes that they can get a levy passed by parting ways with Lolli and blaming all their financial problems on their previous treasurer whom they are currently suing. But the fault is actually on all of them who constantly yielded to the union demands avoiding conflict like truck drivers avoid driving on an icy road.
What nobody has figured out is that these levy failures are the public’s way of striking back at the unions for their constant terrorism invoked through fear of work stoppages over the years, driving up their labor costs. When the public votes down a levy, they are saying, “NO” to the cost increases imposed on a school district, which is their way of managing the costs. The school board has an obligation to act on that vote, not cheerlead on behalf of the union who caused the problem in the first place. A “NO” vote is looked upon by the radical tax grabbers as a greedy, child hating enterprise, but where were the cares for the children when the teachers threatened to walk off the job because their health care was going up by .5%, or they demanded at 3% increase in pay instead of a 2%. Teachers who participated in those strikes are hypocrites and they are the cause of the current financial instability. When the public says “NO” to a school levy, they mean it. And when a public official at the local school board, or the state decide they are going to be arrogant enough to put another levy on the ballot the day after the public voted the tax increase down, they are proclaiming to the world that they are too spineless, and arrogant to listen to the public mandate, and that they will ram the issue down the throat of the public until the “NO” votes becomes a “YES” vote. And every person who participates in that process should lose their job.
Elizabeth Lolli knows she’s caught between a rock and a hard place just as Lakota’s Mike Taylor knew it, and the best thing to do these days is to take the money and run, because the money tree isn’t shaking any more. Tax payers have realized that they are being scammed and they don’t like it. And the unions wouldn’t dare attempt to threaten a strike now that people are on to their game, so the “NO” votes are getting bolder—finally. People for the first time in over a decade are openly voicing their opinion about these money scams coming from public education and they resent having their children wrapped up in the ordeal. There is a real and growing anger at the entire public education funding process. I’m so fed up with it that I think all parents should home school their children, because I don’t like the product public schools are producing. It certainly isn’t worth the massive amounts of money we throw at it. For the $2000 to $3000 I spend per year on property taxes, I’d rather save the money and take my family to Disney World than provide a baby sitting service for the young busy parents who live in my school district and more people are beginning to feel as I do, which is very bad for the public school unions—who I don’t think have a legal right to even exist.
So it’s no mystery that Monroe’s Superintendent Lolli is stepping down, because the writing is on the wall. She knows it and the school board knows it, and the union knows the mud is on their hands. If I were a superintendent I wouldn’t want to be in the situation either, even for a six figure income to simply be a public relations mouthpiece. Because before too long, the guilt overtakes the comfort that the money brings, and the heat in the kitchen is just too great. And the heat is very hot in the kitchen right now, and it’s about to get a lot hotter. Believe me, I know first hand. The only adults in the room on this whole education issue are the people who vote “NO” and deep down inside all the school board members know it, and the superintendents do as well. Because logic is on the side of the people who are declaring that the spending increases on salaries and benefits in public education have to be pulled down to reality, but the unions won’t budge leaving the school superintendent to be squashed in the middle. Superintendents like Lakota’s Mantia puts herself in that difficult situation willingly accepting she couldn’t get a job anywhere else as easy as a school superintendent and make so much money. So the public pressure is worth the financial return for her. But for people like Lolli, and Taylor, who can see where this funding road is going, they have logically and wisely decided to remove themselves from the debate which will be a loss for them no matter which way a vote in November dictates.
Remember that RT News stands for Russia Today. And also remember that Ayn Rand escaped Russia as a young woman. And if a person hates rich people or capitalism they have the taint of communism in them as defined by Karl Marx taught to most of society through indirect instruction. Whenever a person speaks badly of wealth they are behaving like a communist.
It must be terrible to exist in a political party that can only maintain itself based on the fears of the public. It must be terrible to have a complete political platform based exclusively on lies and manipulation. But that is in essence what the Democrats—communists—on the political left are doing in order to even look like they are staying in the current presidential race. They have no ideas, only more debt. They do not advocate national strength, only human weakness. And they drag their feet on everything because their political philosophy only works in theory, not in practice. For the communists in the Democratic Party their view of political solutions are to defer the issue to the depths of time and hope magically the problems solve themselves. Their world view is equivalent to wishing one could walk on Mars, but to do nothing to get there. Their plan is to simply wish for the task to occur, and in their minds, they will arrive on Mars to walk about at will. At best, they are out-of-touch with reality and that is not inflammatory rhetoric. It is a fact based on their actions.
Already Ryan is being labeled an “extreme” conservative and Democrats have used his love of the classic book Atlas Shrugged as a way to make him appear radical. This is very disingenuous, as I never heard conservatives during the last election criticize any Democrat because of a book they enjoyed. It was only after the 2008 election that Glenn Beck started looking into the kinds of people Obama put into The White House and found out that many of them loved Chairman Mao, and Karl Marx—known communists, but nobody in the press corps outside of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity would pick up the ball and run with it so the stories died with talk radio only and blogs. But already, I have heard from three different media outlets in just 24 hours that Ryan is an “extremist” because he happens to like the second most popular book in the Library of Congress behind The Bible which is Atlas Shrugged.
There is no question Ryan was the right pick for the Republican nomination because it has turned fear back around on the political left. Democrats are using fear to keep millions of people from listening to Paul Ryan who now has a national stage, and is more than capable of answering any question members of the media can throw at him. People will be able to see for themselves that it is not Ryan who is the radical, or Ayn Rand, the author of Atlas Shrugged, but the goofballs on the political left who are screaming “foul” because they know they cannot match the facts that Ryan will put forth.
The progressive machine I’ve spent so much time exposing at this site along with others who are all considered “extreme” right winged commentators will be exposed for what they are in the coming weeks. Their fear and attacks on Ryan will show the cards they’ve been hiding from the American people. In this poker game of politics, it will be discovered that all along the people who call themselves Democrats are actually communists in the extreme, and have all along sought the outright destruction of America as a land of prosperity. It will be discovered that the only reason people like Ryan and Ayn Rand are considered extremists are because the communists have such a philosophy that they have managed to pull America so far to the left people like Ryan and Rand appear extreme in comparison. But that is why the political left is now afraid, because to maintain that radical left political trend they must keep people afraid. Democrats hiding their communist intentions cannot match wits with the truth, because they will lose an argument if emotion is not the driving force. The facts are not on their side. Their intentions will be exposed in their actions as they will not be able to debate with Paul Ryan. He is smarter than anybody on the political left. He works harder, as he has often slept in his office because of his long hours. He has no dirt in his background. He is well read and is used to intense criticism and is not afraid of anything anybody can throw at him. He will be able to do to the political left what Scott Walker was able to do in Wisconsin. The truth will show itself because Ryan will not be swept under a rug. When the smoke clears, it will become clear to millions that all along the fear the political left used to advance their vision for America was simply a bluff in their poker game against The United States. The bet in the game is the elimination of capitalism from the American economy. For the Democrats the replacement is open communism and they hope that enough Americans are already so addicted to the money they’ve slid under the table that they’ve purchased their victory. But they haven’t, and now they are in deep trouble because they do not have an answer for Paul Ryan. And no matter how much they wish, they will not be able to defeat him in a debate in any theater because Ryan holds all the cards containing the facts, which the Democrats detest.
The only card Democrats have is fear to keep people from looking too closely at the game they are playing. If American society keeps their eyes on the game and not the fearful distractions, they will see what cheaters and liars these same Democrats have been since the Clintons were in The White House. When it comes to Paul Ryan, they will never win a debate now that he’s on a national stage, and it will be devastating to their intentions of communism. The facts finally have a spokesperson who can articulate the truth without apology, and that will end the game that communists posing as Democrats have attempted to use as a measure to remake America from the land of the free, into the land of the slave, bound to government handouts and bankruptcy perpetually.
The communists have much to fear from Paul Ryan, because they have always been up to no good. As far as Paul Ryan being a crazy radical I find that odd. Ryan is as far to the left of me as Obama is from Romney. And I’m no radical. What does that say about Obama?

This is what people are saying about my new book–Tail of the Dragon
I know this is a long article but complicated themes require advanced explanation, which is why I provided you with a little music to listen to that sums up the content you are about to read. For ease of review I have linked many of the supporting articles to show clearly the path that brought us to this point in time. If it hasn’t been obvious by now my premier strategy in fighting the Lakota School Levy has been a gradual increase of social controversy starting off small, and increasing with each levy attempt until something snaps. That will continue until the district makes drastic pay cuts in an honest attempt to balance their budget. The reasoning is an admission I came to years ago that the term “political correctness” was created by leftist extremists used to shackle the good manners of millions of conservatives. By holding conservatives to the impossible standard of living by “political correctness” rules, social parasites have been able to advance their own cause with great effectiveness. They often break their own rules while conservatives wither in paralysis by their sheer politeness. I decided not to play by those rules so to show others that what was holding conservatives back was not the superior philosophy of the political left, but the fear that conservatives have of controversy. By embracing controversy, I hoped to show thousands that the way to beat progressives was by not playing by the rules “they” created—and to not fear calling things by their real names.
If I had to do it again, I would home school my children during all their school years instead of just for a couple of years as my wife and I did. I never felt public education was teaching my children the dynamic aspects of life that I thought they should be exposed to. Instead, I always felt public education was teaching them to be “mediocre,” which was not what I desired as a father for my children. So to me, public education at its absolute best is a dismal failure.
Many haven’t figured it out yet but over $110 million Americans receive some sort of welfare, which can be seen on this chart released on The Blaze.com. This chart does not include Social Security, Medicare, or public education, and yes, to me public education is a form of welfare.
The sharp increase in these numbers shows the goal of the Obama White House which has been the goal of all socialists who have been operating in America and that is to buy votes. Currently with all the trouble Obama is in with legal issues and a dismal economy, he still has 50% of the vote, because more than half the nation gets some sort of check from the government as shown by the chart.
Public education is one of the largest socialist scams ever perpetrated on the American people. It in essence attempts to teach socialist values to young people while selling the service to the parents and the adult population as essential to a child’s well-being. If I had to raise a child today I would teach the child at home using the K-through 12 online computer course shown at the link below. This is a much more efficient method of teaching young people instead of attending an expensive brick and mortar school full of socialist union thumping teachers’ hell bent on the destruction of The United States. If any proof were needed that public education is a terrible travesty just look at the welfare numbers. When half the population is on welfare public education has failed to produce self-reliant individuals who are productive with entrepreneurial thinking. Instead, public schools make wishy-washy liberal leaning young people who take too long to grow up. Many of them don’t begin to see the light until their late 30’s these days and by then they have already started to raise misfits of their own, and the damage is already done.
When I first began my journey on this education reform path that I am on, it began by simply pointing out that the labor contracts for the public school unions were inflated. Since I had experience in my family after raising my own children that much of the education claims public schools were making toward a child’s well-being were inflated, because I had taken a very active role in teaching my children, I felt it was only fair to challenge the union position. Back on September 20th of 2010 I went on 700 WLW to talk about the real reason that my school district of Lakota needed a school levy, was to pay for the excessive wages of its employees. As I was doing that Kyle Olsen was putting up billboards around Cincinnati exposing the scam of public education. The Ohio Education Association responded to this statement by me and Olsen with a typical response at the time from the union, which can be seen below from the Pulse Journal. To listen to my original report on 700 WLW click here. The response from the OEA shown next made me so angry that I decided after the Lakota Levy was defeated to not take my foot off the neck of public education controlled by the labor unions. After the assault by David Little, a progressive activist, I decided that I had enough of these thugs who had taken over a school where I pay an enormous amount of money in personal taxes—all so people who wanted a quality “free” education for their children could pretend they were being good parents by spending a lot of money on homes to live in a school district that was highly sought after in the real estate market. The goodness of the district was being built by my property value which is in essence wealth redistribution because it was being consumed by value to fund the welfare system of public education.

Staff Writer
LIBERTY TWP. — Representatives of the Lakota Education Association say they hope voters will listen to facts given out by the school district rather than “rhetoric” from a group advertising in the area on bill boards.
“It has become the trend during election campaigns for anti-levy and anti-public education groups like (Education Action Group) to surface, speaking out against public education, and then to retreat again once the elections are over,” according to a statement from the OEA.
“We think that, first of all, it’s an outside group that is anti-public schools and anti-union,” Rodney Bird, labor relations consultant for the OEA said. “We believe the voters in southwest Ohio and in Lakota are intelligent enough to make their decision on a local levy based on the facts given by the district.”
That’s how it was back then; the unions were quoted all the time in the paper because nobody challenged them. People were afraid that the union would vandalize their homes, or that they would be publicly ridiculed within their communities. The force of the unions and the monopoly of their education empires deserved to have their asses kicked. So I started this site, Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom to contrast what the OEA said about people like me during levy elections. When the election was over, I did not go away. To this day, the union has been exposed for what they are, crooked thugs hell-bent on socialist destruction of America. After three years of very public battles the unions hardly have instigated a peep, they haven’t threatened to strike in the entire Cincinnati area primarily because of the constant coverage on 700 WLW.
As it can be seen, a lot has changed in the last three years, and what used to be boisterous dialogue on behalf of the unions now is seeing residents fighting back with boisterous dialogue of their own. In three short years we have changed the argument, and in three more years the brick and mortar schools will be forced to adapt entirely new philosophies. More and more people will begin to take part in the K-through-12 programs online and those people will be much less inclined to pass school levies since they aren’t using the public schools. The unions will be forced to come to reality, because people for the first time in a century are sticking up for themselves and fighting back.
Get ready for the new conservatives……..the old ones were a lot more passive. That won’t happen again, I promise. And Monroe, the ‘League’ has your back.
