]]> http://www.wilmington912project.com/articles/bill-to-collect-employee-pay-information/feed 0 Article by Ken Matesz http://www.wilmington912project.com/general/article-by-ken-matesz http://www.wilmington912project.com/general/article-by-ken-matesz#comments Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:17:28 +0000 navywifeked http://www.wilmington912project.com/?p=740 Message from Ken Matesz, Libertarian Candidate for Governor of Ohio:

Many supporters of my campaign are aware that I teach classes about the US Constitution. In fact, my first public announcement of my candidacy for Governor of Ohio occurred at the very end of one of my classes last winter. A month or so later at a tea party gathering where I briefly spoke, one of my students came to me and said, “I really appreciate your class and everything you are doing, but I will not be voting for you. I have to cast a vote for the Republican candidate. We can’t let the Democrats stay in office.”

This makes me wonder about the value of the tea party groups. If their only goal is to prevent Democrats from being elected, then why all the education? Why bother with learning the Constitution? Why bother circulating petitions for health-care amendments? Why bother calling and writing to congressmen and senators? Why bother learning more about free-market economics? Why study the founders and our founding principles? If the solution lies in electing Republicans, then there is no more you need to know. Just show up and vote Republican and all will be well.

I get emails from some of my students telling me how horrible the Obama spending binges are – how his deficits dwarf those of George W. Bush; how the debt under Obama is increasing wildly, when it “only” increased by $4 trillion under Bush. And I ask them, do you have any idea how much money $4 trillion is?

In Ohio, you have three viable choices for governor; but you only have two choices in ideology. You can either work to elect me, a strict constitutionalist, or you can elect a statist. Both John Kasich and Ted Strickland are statists.

What is a statist? This term gets thrown around here and there. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines statism as, “concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government often extending to government ownership of industry.” Evolving statism is what we have across the United States right now. As we’ve seen under the Bush and Obama administrations, our elected officials no longer have any qualms about using taxpayer dollars to bailout private firms such as financial institutions and automobile industries. Step by step we are moving closer to, not just statism, but totalitarianism.

Now, totalitarianism is defined as, “centralized control by an autocratic authority” or “the political concept that the citizen should be totally subject to an absolute state authority.” John Kasich, in particular, is totalitarian minded. This was most blatantly revealed in a recent interview he had with radio host Brian Wilson on Toledo’s WSPD radio station (1370 on the AM dial). First, Mr. Kasich indicated that the assault weapons ban he championed as a career politician in Congress was not “effective” and he “doesn’t think” we need to do something similar right now. In other words, if he thought it would be effective, he would be all for the state dictating your gun rights. This is a statist view.

Mr. Kasich likewise champions the statist view that government or a majority has the power to decide what rights a person has. When asked about the smoking ban and the rights of private property owners, he simply said that he likes the law and supports it. He does not want personal property rights defended.

Neither Kasich nor Strickland care about your private property rights, your natural rights, or the very freedoms supposedly preserved in the Ohio Constitution’s Bill of Rights. If you are busily circulating and supporting initiatives like the Ohio Project (Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment) or state sovereignty issues and amendments, you might as well stop doing so if you are going to cast a vote for John Kasich or Ted Strickland. Neither one has the ideology to support these initiatives. The only reason we even need these initiatives at all is because we have elected officials who are statists. What good does a constitutional amendment do if no one in office cares about the constitution? Our Ohio Constitution already prohibits the new federal health care mandates, but do you see anyone (i.e. Ted Strickland or John Kasich) talking about that? Of course not. Because they don’t care. They just want to get elected. Neither one knows of any successful life outside the political arena where they live off the public dole.

Fortunately for them, they are running as part of the Democrat or Republican Party. And we all know that everything will be solved if we just elect the Republican this time around, because “we can’t let the Democrats stay in office.”

I hope you will be happy with your next statist governor of Ohio! I guess the good news is that you’ll still have something to hold protest rallies for!
