The Miami Township and Cincinnati Tea Parties support the duly elected conservative Republicans that are justly trying to govern in the best interest of Ohio and the U.S. We are defending the backbone of our great nation, the hardworking and struggling taxpayer. The Unions are using thuggery to preserve an unfair status quo. The public sector unions object to any increase in copayment to pay for all of their benefits, when many in the private sector have routinely seen increases for years. The homeowner is supposed to submit and continually accept property tax increases that he can not afford. He or she may be unemployed or under employed and struggling. This system holds them hostage with their shelter as the collateral. This is unjust and will not be accepted by the American people.

 

"the root of the argument is merit vs. entitlement... With Ohio having the 7th highest tax rate in the United States, and a flailing economy - we have nothing left to give."

 

Yours in Liberty and Christ,

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.

Ronald Reagan
40th president of US (1911 - 2004)

It is with great admiration that I quote Ronald Reagan. He also lived by another quote and the credo, "Don't be afraid to see what you see".  These are the times that he referred to that will test our mettle and dedication to the truth. The endless unfair siren song of socialism is to redistribute wealth from the productive to the unproductive under pain of punishment including jail and death. The socialist feels that those who succeed in life must somehow have an unfair advantage and do not deserve to keep the fruits of their labor. This concept as a central principle under which a country operates has been proven to be disastrous every single time that it is recirculated. It led to the complete collapse of the Soviet economy run by central planning bureaucrats. The workers stopped working because it was said that they would be paid in worthless rubles whether they worked or not.

Milton Friedman correctly stated that no one looks out for someone else's money as well as their own. The United States has enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in the world for a large population of 300 million largely on a jobs machine created by small business entrepreneurs  We need to re-energize small business with tax cuts to create an incentive to expand. This administration's penchant to tax the "Joe the Plumber's" of the world to share the wealth is indicative of the fact that they do begrudge wealth unless it is earned by their political allies like the unions, AIG, Citi and Goldman Sachs. We do not need to grow a huge federal bureaucracy and gargantuan deficit when simple tax cuts will stimulate the economy. We do not need to to socialize medicine before allowing cross state purchases of insurance and  tort reforms to cap malpractice ambulance chasing. The answers lie in free market solutions and less government.

Recent editions of history books have some shocking atheist revisionism as well. The terms B.C. and A.D. have been replaced by BCE and CE. Before the Common Era and Common Era. Also the era of our founding fathers before 1877 is being de-emphasized. The Constitution is the product of the minds of some of the greatest human beings whoever lived acknowledging that man is endowed with some inalienable  divine rights given by our Creator, not by the state. This Khmer Rouge-like revisionism and re-education is dangerous and wrong. The same NEA Union, socialist teachers are trying to turn children against their own parents for not believing another socialist ploy called global warming or, conveniently, climate change, when confronted with the fact that there is none. Their culprit  is carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring substance in earth's atmosphere. Where is the science in this argument? Many scientists worldwide, some former believers, say that global warming is absent in the last 12 years. The record snow this season, which Robert Kennedy, Jr. bemoaned as missing in recent years is part of the natural ebb and flow of weather and the law of averages. All these are pretexts to hide the radical transformational secular progressive wealth transfer agenda of this administration and congress.

These secular progressives go so far as to say that the state has the right to say who has the right to be born. The state can allow a women and her doctor to terminate a pregnancy for any reason and anytime. If the circumstances of the pregnancy are difficult, it is not a reason to kill an unborn child. St. Joseph stood by the Virgin Mary in very difficult circumstances to bring Jesus Christ, our Savior, into the world. If you can not see the truth that abortion is murder and wrong from that, than you are blind.

These secular progressives also believe that the American people have no right to a secret ballot in a vote for a union shop in their place of work. Furthermore, they feel that your tax dollars, should be taken, under pain of imprisonment, and given to failed business models using overstaffed, inefficient, union labor. They feel that your property taxes should be continually raised to fund the subversive teachings of the NEA to our children using a global warming lie as a wealth transfer, social re-engineering, mechanism. Similarly, they feel that the Cap & Trade punitive tax is warranted as a means to transfer wealth from the coal burning regions, including my beloved Ohio, to the coastal regions which are more dependent on hydro, wind and nuclear and southern hemisphere nations looking for a handout. An extra burden of $3,000 per year for every family in Ohio and the loss of an estimated 100,000 additional jobs with our state's unemployment rate at a high 10.8% is irresponsible and will destroy our economy.

On every turn, the truth, which has always been right below the surface, is rising to the top. Don't be afraid to see it and speak out for the truth. You can not stop the truth. It is always there and always will prevail. I am running for Republican Central Committee in Clermont County, Ohio and active in the Cincinnati and Miami Township Tea Parties in defense of it.

The release of the 5 separate ACORN sting videos from offices all across the country has exploded into a major political scandal for the Obama Administration. These videos repeatedly showed ACORN officials offering advice on how to misrepresent illegal activities to evade income taxes. Prostitution involving underage illegal immigrants seems to be a specialty. One woman ACORN worker even bragged about murdering her husband. President Barack Obama actively invited ACORN to have a seat in setting the agenda for his administration. ACORN also has been cited in numerous voter fraud indictments all across the United States in elections that resulted in Obama winning the presidency. They also received $800,000 from the Obama Campaign and tens and tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, and, if you look at the stimulus, possibly $8 billion. This deep seated, systemic, long standing pattern of illegal and morally bankrupt behavior seems to manifest itself in expert advice about advocating crime. They are very familiar and willing to help in organizing prostitution rings involving 13-15 year old imported girls from Central America. Contacts in Tijuana are cited. Underage teenage prostitution of illegal immigrants! This is outrageous! The shallow, inept, biased mainstream media has failed miserably in its responsibility to be the guardian of democracy. Thank God for FOX NEWS, Conservative Talk Radio and independent internet bloggers who have taken on that critical role. Even liberal,  "Daily Show", TV host Jon Stewart has been shocked at the lack of mainstream media coverage. Charlie Gibson didn't even know about this 2 days ago. The New York Times bears direct responsibility for whitewashing the connection between the ACORN criminal enterprise and Team Obama. The pitiful former President Jimmy Carter has predictably timed his claim that the current groundswell against this corrupt, socialist, President is not based upon the substance of his policies and agenda, but the color of his skin. This playing of the race card has grown extremely tiresome to the American people. We will have accountability and transparency in government. The Obama Administration promised as much and will be held to that promise.

My fellow Americans, this is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue of basic human decency. This has now turned into a full scale revolt of the American people. This last Saturday, September 12, 2009,  I joined between 600,000 and 1.2 million people on an historic March on Washington D.C. and National Tea Party. Mainstream America does not want this government's agenda enacted. We have the First Amendment right to assemble and express our legitimate concerns. This Administration is dividing and attacking the American people with Saul Alinsky name calling tactics. Obama was a disciple of Alinsky's "Rules for  Radicals" in sculpting his campaign tactics and agenda. Van Jones, the self-proclaimed, radical communist former "Green Energy Czar" is another disciple. Based upon the radical associations (Reverend  Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn)  that Obama has had throughout his life, are you really surprised? But to listen to the inept Jimmy Carter, this animosity is based overwhelmingly on the fact that he is black, and absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it is destructive to America. The modern Democratic party has been taken over by the radical 1960's retreads. It is the most radical, liberal, socialist, party in the history of the United States. It is controlled by socialist unions like the SEIU (Service Workers) and NEA (Education). They, in turn, are propping up this radical socialist president, who ironically, sends his kids to private school. They will call you racist for any opposition. It is Obama, who showed his racist tendencies, when he immediately sided with his Harvard Professor buddy Skip Gates in his case with the Cambridge, Massachusetts Police Department. It is  Nancy Pelosi, Harry  Reid, Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel,  Rahm Emanuel and Maxine Waters who are alienating the independent voter, who voted for him, at Town Halls with names like "racist", "Astroturf" and  "un-American". Obama, himself, has mocked and  antagonized the Tea Party movement by calling them "Tea Baggers".

The American people have awoken. We will continue to march to save our country from corruption and socialism. We will continue to march for the unborn millions who have been massacred by abortion in the worst holocaust of all time which this president supports. God is helping us and we are making a difference and we will prevail. History is watching. I met a police officer from Miami on the Metro subway going into Washington D.C. for the 9/12 March whose family fled communist Cuba. He said now is the time to speak out. Harald Zieger,  an East German immigrant,  has said the same thing at numerous Cincinnati Tea Party rallies. When you have a mainstream media which is totally functioning as a propaganda arm of a socialist administration, like a PRAVDA in Russia, it is later than you think. Speak out now against this. You are not a racist for doing so. They are trying to chill the debate and freeze you with this racist charge. Republican National Chairman Michael Steele has said this. Ken Blackwell has said ACORN is marred in a culture of corruption and sloppiness.  Both of these men happen to be black. If you believe in transparency and accountability you need to speak out. Public officials and the media have a moral responsibility to expose this. The RICO threshold has been met. Attorney General Eric Holder should launch an immediate investigation. We have every right and an obligation to our children and their future to do so. God Bless America and God Help Us All!

The two top Democrats in the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and majority Leader Steny Hoyer, have escalated the war of words over health care reform, calling some of the behavior of protesters at town hall events across the country “un-American.”

“It is now evident that an ugly campaign is underway not merely to misrepresent the health insurance reform legislation, but to disrupt tpublic meetings and prevent members of Congress and constituents from conducting a civil dialog,” the pair wrote in a Monday op-ed for USA Today.“These tactics have included hanging in effigy one Democratic member of Congress in Maryland and protesters holding a sign displaying atombstone with the name of another congressman in Texas, where protesters also shouted “Just say no!” drowning out those who wanted to hold a substantive discussion.”

“These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American,” they continued.

This is a classic example of what Ann Coulter has pointed out is psychological projection of liberal democratic guilt, i.e. whatever they are accusing you of doing they are themselves, in fact, actively doing. Nancy Pelosi has alluded to swastikas and Nazi allusions as being the tools of the radical right wing protesters. This twisting of the facts that some of the signs correctly pointed out the dictatorial imposition of this bill on the American public by the Obama Administration and the Democrat controlled Congress.This is another example of the concept of projection when they are the ones actually acting like dictators. The town hall protesters are simply participating in the democratic process by attending a public meeting and expressing their concerns that health care choice are being taken away from them and would result in some  unnamed, unelected panel or czar rationing health care that they need to stay alive because they don't have enough years of life left to clear Ezekial Emanuel's justification standards.

Equally ironic and hypocritical is the fact that Barack Obama made an early political career out of being a  "community organizer". So why is it suddenly an unruly mob when conservatives appear at town hall meetings around the country to express their concerns about the aggressive take-over of of our health care by the United States Government?  These people are coming of their own volition to oppose a ridiculous bill that could bankrupt the United States. Yes, there have been social networking postings about these meetings, but they are, and should be public, and open events. Publicity about them, by any means should be viewed positively. Instead they tried to stack the deck with only supporters at a recent Tampa, Florida town hall and shoved out concerned opposing citizens with union thugs.

Another alarming and disturbing tactic was the publishing on the white house.gov website of a YouTube video by an unelected czar named Linda Douglass, Communications Director, Office of Health Reform who said, as part of her job in eliminating disinformation about the health care reform bill,  to provide the names of any one who sends emails, or says anything in passing conversation that seems "fishy". According to Judge Napolitano on FOX News, this is an illegal violation of the First Amendment right to political free speech. The State shall not intimidate through tactics such as an "enemies list" the exercise of  political free speech. Sen John Cornyn sent a letter asking what they intended to do with the collected information as well. By statute the White house is a bit of a conundrum. They are required to keep a record of all received correspondence and emails, but in doing so they are keeping an illegally acquired intimidation list.

The liberal NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell, wife of Alan Greenspan, also chimed in that the people in these town halls should be in favor of the bill because "They  may not know what's good for them". This is an offensive condescending dismissal  of concerned, informed citizens, totally legitimate concerns.

The abuses of the U.S. Constitution and the attack on the majority of the American people and their concerns about one of the most sweeping changes in American history is indicative of the aggressive and blind socialist  agenda of the Obama  Administration and the democratic controlled congress.

President Obama's friend and Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr ,  started this whole thing with his quick draw on the race card. He refused to stop his persistent and loud accusatory racial discrimination tirade, and, after being warned, was arrested for disorderly conduct by the Cambridge, Massachusetts, Police Department's Sergeant James Crowley. During a national news conference, Obama showed his true radical colors, and piled on to pander to his base. The question was a set up from this phony press corps. His inflammatory remark, "The Cambridge Police acted stupidly," undermined law & order and split the country on racial lines. He hoped to create a diversion away from his destructive Cap & Tax and Obamacare socialist con jobs which are, correctly, in danger of passing. 

Obama dangerously escalated this small local issue into a major national racial issue by answering a planted question to pander to blacks who complain that this half-white president doesn't act black enough. Is he going to comment on every black man arrested in the U.S.? Or, just his Harvard pals?

Serious sides started being taken when the Cambridge Police Department, backed by national police associations, showed unified support for Sergeant Crowley, and asked for an apology from President Obama. He, by all accounts, is a cop with an exemplary record, never having been accused of racial bias, and actually having given classes in avoiding unfair racial profiling. Bill Cosby chimed in that he did not like the national size, direction and sides being taken, namely, Obama and Gates versus U.S. Police Departments and law & order. He asked the president  to apologize. Professor Gates defiantly went on television said he would do the exact same thing and is considering a law suit.

After the huge national furor, the President, at first, half-apologized, acknowledged his words were ill-chosen, and said,

"This has been ratcheting up, and I obviously helped to contribute ratcheting it up. I want to make clear that in my choice of words, I think I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department and Sgt. Crowley specifically. And I could've calibrated those words differently."

Since that time President Obama has additionally accepted the suggestion from Sergeant Crowley that Professor Gates, Sergeant Crowley  and he get together for a beer at the White House to try to smooth this over. Gates has indicated he will accept and and toned down his rhetoric, saying, 

"I told the president that my principal regret was that all of the attention paid to his deeply supportive remarks during his press conference had distracted attention from his health care initiative,"Gates said. "I am pleased that he, too, is eager to use my experience as a teaching moment, and if meeting Sergeant Crowley for a beer with the president will further that end, then I would be happy to oblige."

It was a marked change in tone for Gates, who in the days following his arrest gathered up his legal team and said he was contemplating a law suit. He even vowed to make a documentary on his arrest to tie into a larger project about racial profiling.

In an e-mail to the Boston Globe late Friday, he said: "It is time for all of us to move on, and to assess what we can learn from this experience."

Ann Coulter points out that this charged was only dropped after Gates played all his black political connections. The powerful black professor called the powerful black mayor, who called the powerful black governor, who called the half-black president. The president had no business wading into this small local issue in the first place. His usually carefully scripted, teleprompter news conference questions, keep him from answering spontaneously like this. Now the American people can see why. The President should give a full apology. Otherwise, this looks like an attempted abuse of power that is sanctimoniously cloaked in racial politics. It's dangerous and inflammatory.

He vastly underestimates the American people. This, and the low level fly-over Manhattan by Air Force One, show reckless disregard for public safety and law and order.This ideologue wants to redistribute wealth and buy votes. America knows that his broad, sweeping, false promises are not backed by economic reality. The independent CBO has stated as much. The American people have figured this out and he is plummeting in the polls.

The latest polls by Scott Rasmussen show a precipitous drop in approval and rise in disapproval for President Obama.  He is now below 50% approval in two key swing states, Ohio and Virginia. More and more independents and moderates who were duped by his moderate election rhetoric into voting for him are regretting it. I believe that many of those voters were either unaware of his radically liberal voting record or believed that he would not have the audacity to push that leftist agenda while governing. They were wrong. The argument that I heard from the left was not to worry because even though he said he was going to do these radically leftist things, he didn't really mean it. He really was a nice guy and you like him don't you? He was just saying those thing to pander to his liberal base and that he would have to govern from the middle. I think that was part of the strategy to freeze legitimate concerns from the right about this man's murky past and radical associations and agenda.

I now believe this man is a self serving socialist president. Rahm Emanuel, his leftist thug chief of staff, put it succinctly,  "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste". Never mind that it's a crisis, let's just not waste it for our political power gain. We can buy votes, influence, and contributions with the taxpayer's dollars. That's the important thing. I see a blatant contempt for the working taxpayer in this administration's agenda. Joe the Plumber was told he must share the wealth. He was told that "trickle up" economics would help him. Let me ask you, when was the last time somebody with less money than you gave you money or a job?

Here is a nice listing of additional reasons for the big drop in his popularity from Instapundit:

This is a sad day in American history. According to Dick Morris on Sean Hannity, the narrow 219-212 Democratic victory was orchestrated by the party to manfacture plausible deniability for reps in coal fired regions where the doubling of their constituent's utility bills will be a devastating political liability. It will cost 2.5 million jobs to be moved overseas as it creates a competitive cost disadvantage and the average family $3,000 more per year in their utility bills. This is a giant socialist, wealth transfer scheme to move money from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere. With China having to do nothing, it is totally ineffectual, anyway. Not to mention that the entire pretext for this hoax is based on totally bogus science. Along with the trillions already borrowed, and increasing energy prices and interest rates directly caused by that, the effects on the United States will be devastating. Demand a "NO" vote from your senator before it is too late.

Everyone remembers the huge furor over WLW radio personality Bill Cunningham having the racist  audacity to refer to Barack Obama, during a John McCain campaign in Cincinnati, as "Barack Hussein Obama" which is his actual given name. John McCain practically fell over himself in distancing from Cunningham in a monumental, throw under the bus, maneuver. Well, Barack Obama had the racist audacity to refer to himself that way in his own inaugural oath. More recently, he has proudly trumpeted his family heritage in his speech June 4, 2009 in Cairo, Egypt, by stating proudly that his father was a Kenyan who came from generations of Muslims. It is very ingenuous to have the left demonize anyone who pointed these facts out during the campaign when the American people were making their decision for President of the United States but now it is great for Obama to promote these facts after safely elected here in the U.S. but still campaigning for President of the World for the Blame America First Apologist Party.

In continuing his world history and demographic fact rewrite, he also has stated The United States is not a Christian nation (76% in 2008) and is one of the largest Muslim countries. Huh? I don't think so. There are 3 million American Muslims in a world full of 1.5 billion Muslims. This obvious obsequious pandering to the Muslims is offensive and detrimental to American interests. It paints a false picture of what The United States believes and represents.

These are further examples of the liberal propensity to twist facts, omit the truth, refer euphemistically to unpleasant or shocking facts and other misrepresentations to achieve their political goals. This language game reminds one of Soviet, Chinese, and Khmer Rouge communist propaganda. Why do they think referring to facts with false political rhetoric is not going to be recognized as an attempt to cover up and whitewash their radical socialist agenda? Obama ran on moderate principles as a post-racial candidate, yet froze the media and his opponent with the threat of racist labeling if anyone dared challenge his Arab and Reverend Wright (God Damn, America!) and Bill Ayers (bomb police station) radical left connections. Obama's religious background is weak and ambivalent. He converted to Christianity  at age 30. His mother was an atheist. His first father was an atheist but from a Muslim background. These facts help explain his extreme pro-abortion beliefs. If you deep down aren't sure about the existence of God why would you fear divine retribution for brutally terminating an unborn baby? Which you of course euphemistically refer to as "reproductive rights" or "pro-choice" instead of what it actually is "pro killing innocent unborn babies". The facts are that at least 49 million babies have perished this way in the U.S. alone since Roe vs Wade in 1974.

I do not condone the murder of late term abortionist George Tiller (personally responsible for 60,000 terminated babies). But I reject the notion that the FOX News Networks factual reporting of his operations, subsequent multiple indictments by Kansas authorities and acquittal in Kansas, somehow is directly responsible. The double standard in mainstream reporting of the Tiller murder by GE owned NBC and MSNBC, and CNN shows their pro-abortion bias and whitewashes the brutal reality of what abortion does every day to 4,000 babies in this country versus 5 abortionist doctors killed since 1974. These same networks and the New York Times barely mention the shooting of Army private William Long by an American Muslim Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad. The Obama Administration wasted little time in condemning the Tiller murder within hours but waited two days to condemn the Army private's murder after prodding by reporters.

This politically correct re-language is weak and obfuscatory. If you are for killing the unborn baby, why not not just have the guts to come out and say it? Obama came as close as I have ever heard in his speech to Planned Parenthood, " I wouldn't want my daughters punished with a baby." So, it's okay for us to impose the death penalty on the unborn innocent baby, Mr. Obama? Just have the guts to say the raw truth in plain language if you are so proud of it. The Bush Administration's  "War on Terror" seems a great deal more accurate and straight forward then the Obama Administration's weak  "Man Made Disaster".

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, acts like a duck, it's a duck. If it looks like a socialist, quacks like a socialist, acts like a socialist, it's a socialist. If it looks like murder, sounds like murder, acts like murder, it's murder. Don't play your word games with us, Obama. Your teleprompter speeches and words are incongruent with your actions. The American people do not approve of your policies and will eventually wise up.  Your first six months in office are almost up. The mid-term elections are not that far away.

The inconsistency and hypocrisy that liberals apply in their faulty morality never ceases to amaze me. The innocent unborn baby in the mother's womb has no rights, including the most precious, a right to life. The mother has all the rights. Even the right to order and pay an abortion doctor to burn or cut the baby in pieces to death up to the ninth month, even during partial-birth. Obama is welcomed and honored on campus even though he is one of the most pro-abortion politicians in the United States in direct contradiction of the teachings of the the Catholic Church. Dr. Alan Keyes, Randall Terry and 20 other peaceful protesters are arrested for trespassing on a Catholic Universitiy' s property  for voicing an opinion the Church advocates. What happened to their freedom of speech? Has Jenkins gone mad? Why does he think this is okay? He should be removed from office and defrocked for this abomination. Pope Benedict should step in, stop Obama's commencement speech on May 17, 2009 and come and speak himself against abortion. Obama is not a role model for this school's graduates to honor. He and his pro-abortion supporters should be opposed and dishonored. Nothing else is a disgrace to the Catholic Church and humanity.
