Government makes people angry
Being an angry white man, I need to blame everything on the government. Plus, I'm very afraid of what the socialists are going to do next. I want my country back.
On Sept. 10, Bainbridge police were called to Kenston High School, where a student from Bedford Heights had arrived on a Kenston school bus and was attempting to take a gym class. Apparently, the boy did not particularly care for his own school and decided to try another one.
This is part of a liberal plot by Ohio lawmakers known as open enrollment, which leads people to believe they have a right to attend any school they darn well please, and the taxpayers will pick up the tab. It's in the same vein as school vouchers, charter schools and "Obamacare."
As former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich recently quoted a fellow political outsider so well, Kenston school officials and Bainbridge police need to "understand Kenyan anti-colonial behavior."
Chardon City Council recently took up the issue of panhandling, which apparently has become epidemic on Chardon Square, not to mention near a big discount mart that supports communism by selling cheap Chinese imports. When is the government going to learn that more laws aren't the solution? More laws are the problem.
"Hey, buddy, can you spare a buck?" is an expression of free speech, just like, "Hey, Barack Obama, you lying liberal fascist." At least we have a right to tell beggars to stuff it and go live under a bridge, unlike the government that makes us pay taxes for unemployment benefits to people who are too lazy to work for food, or even hold up a sign on the street corner.
Then there's the meddling bureaucrats in Auburn Township who are stomping on the rights of decent, conservative folks to put up a wind turbine on their farm. This is a good case for raising the patriotic Gadsden "Don't Tread on Me" flag against tyranny. It's a brutal slap in the face against self-sufficiency, free enterprise, property rights and the American spirit.
While the federal government keeps tossing around billions of dollars in farm subsidies to huge agribusinesses and corny ethanol scams, Big Brother Auburn wants to prevent a small local agricultural business from producing its own electricity. The government needs to get out of the way.
Speaking of property rights, the U.S. Attorney General's Office in Cleveland is trying to seize a Solon man's $932,000 home, because he allegedly got mixed up in a heroin-distribution operation, mostly in inner-city neighborhoods. The ongoing multibillion-dollar war against drugs is the epitome of big government, including more double-dipping jobs in law enforcement, more lawyers and crooked judges on the public dole and gigantic prisons sucking money out of the taxpayers' pockets.
Anybody who can afford a $932,000 home in this great country should be getting a whopping tax cut, not a prison cell, because, as we know, small business is the engine that drives our economy.
Speaking of small business, the City of Pepper Pike is trying to extort thousands of dollars from the owners of a new carwash just because they cut down some trees on their land. Cutting down trees is what made American what it is today. Besides, you never know who's hiding in those trees nowadays.
Finally, why can't they put up a Confederate flag in South Russell? After all, those southerners did secede from Russell Township.
