Levy Fights in my Neighborhood
Posted by overmanwarrior 12 years ago to News
It is one thing to discuss, as we often do in the Gulch about philosophy and politics. But ultimately, it is best to apply the things we learn to real life.
I have a long, and turbulent history with the local politics around my neighborhood. At times it has become very aggressive. Well, today I woke up to find myself in the newspaper, so I responded properly. I thought you guys might enjoy following along.
In short, I have a history of keeping my local public school, which is 7th largest in the State of Ohio from passing tax increases. This has frustrated the levy addicts so we have went at each other rather viciously. My appearance in the paper today was an attempt to eliminate my arguments with a progressive attack trying to paint me as a sexist. So this was my long and detailed response.

My radio friend Doc Thompson introduced me to Atlas Shrugged because John Aglialoro was on 700 WLW talking about the release of Atlas Shrugged Part I. Doc and I were working through his radio station to get a copy of Atlas shown in Cincinnati, because Doc told me what it was about so I wanted to help a film about such ideas be seen by others.
So I figured I should read the book if I'm going to promote the film. That is how I found Ayn Rand.
Now I know why people like that Cheerleader won't listen. Ayn Rand had the answer years ago, and this is why those types of people are terrified of Atlas Shrugged. So I have learned these last couple of years to pull my own Henry Rearden story. I have refused to allow the other side to rule through guilt. Instead I have thrown their hypocrisy back in their face joyfully, and with great spectacle.
I am testing out these Objectivist theories through the school levy work. If it works against them then the strategies can be used on a national platform. That is what I hope to accomplish now.
I plan to beat them with Intellectual Ammunition. That is what that posting is all about. She hit me with a few paragraphs of flimsy leftist arguments in the paper and expected that to stick. I hit her with a three thousand word response that will be seen by more people than read the newspaper in our community.
We'll see how effective it is.
