In Ron's opinion, sanctimonious bullshit is much worse than plain ol' simple, ignorant bullshit.
IT APPEARS SOMEBODY LIED!
Do you think Ron LIED?
Or, do you think our town board president David Campbell did the dirty deed?
David Campbell gave sworn testimony, under solemn oath, that he had no involvement in the town's lease agreement with the Posey County News. David Campbell testified under sacred oath, that he knew absolutely nothing about the town's lease agreement with the newspaper, and that it had been handled by another town board member, completely.
But, a quick witted attorney was able to confront Mr Campbell with a copy of the lease agreement between the town and the newspaper. That lease agreement contained Mr David Campbell's signature, and ONLY Mr Campbell's signature. There was no other signature of any other town board member besides David Campbell on that lease agreement.
If Mr Campbell had no involvement with the lease, and knew nothing about it, and the lease was completely handled by some other town board member, why was Mr Campbell's signature on the lease agreement? And, why was HIS signature the ONLY one there?
How did Mr Campbell's signature get onto a lease agreement that he knew nothing about? Ask him that, and watch him tap dance.
When confronted with his own lonely signature on that telling lease agreement, while still under oath, Mr Campbell turned funny colors and seemed near to being struck down by an apoplectic seizure. I was right across the witness table from Mr Campbell at that moment, within three or four feet of him, directly facing him as he testified against me, and I took great and rich enjoyment in seeing him thus hoisted upon his own funny looking little petard. My attorney enjoyed it too, plus the county prosecutor and the court reporter both seemed shocked at what Mr Campbell said under oath.
Read DAVID CAMPBELL'S SWORN TESTIMONY, and YOU decide who lied.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN STRONGLY ATTRACTED TO.............
WILLARD "MITT" ROMNEY
Willard "Mitt" Romney has five homes. His MAIN home has an elevator to get his cars in and out of the second story parking garage. Mitt's wife has 8 housekeepers and three Nannies to help her look after their kids and their five homes. Mitt's wife drives THREE top of the line Cadilacs, all for herself, so that no matter where she travels, she has her personal Cadilac waiting.
Willard "Mitt" Romney is AGAINST raising the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $7.75 per hour. He says it would be "bad" for businesses. If you think I am joking, READ THIS.
After eight long years of bloody war and reckless government spending under the leadership of President George W. Bush,
we are finally ending the Bush wars, and putting America back on track.
Thank God for the wise and brave leadership of President Barack Obama. Let the working class join hands, and keep moving FORWARD WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA.
HERE IS AN ENDORSEMENT THAT REALLY COUNTS WITH ME!
WILLIE IS THE MOST GOOD HEARTED AND DECENT AMERICAN I KNOW. WHO HE LIKES, I LIKE TOO.
BILLY THE KID
I must LOOK like a smart guy, because people are always asking me questions. Just for instance, someone recently asked me; Ron, just who in the Hell was BILLY THE KID?
WELFARE CHECKS TO RICH FARMERS
The US government takes a LOT of money away from ordinary working class people as taxes and pays it out to rich farmers as "Farm Subsidy" payments. Rich farmers all around you are receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars and some of them get MILLIONS going to the same families. In the past, all of the Republicans in Congress have banded together to protect these welfare payments to rich farmers, while almost ALL Democrats in Congress have tried to stop this outrage. The Republicans have forced cuts to Veterans' benefits, Medicaid and the US POST OFFICE, while refusing to allow cuts to farm subsidies. But now, after the Republicans being embarrassed by lots of news stories about the rich farmers getting this free money from the taxpayers, the Democrats have talked a few of the Republicans into going along with farm welfare cuts. And, the rich farmers are howling bloody murder.
Want to know which of your rich neighbors is recieving this welfare money, and how much they get?
MEDICARE
The same Greedy Bastards that are closing down the US Post Offices, also want to end our Medicare program. The Republican controlled House of Representatives is leading the charge on this, but ALL of the Republican candidates for President have agreed that we should shut down Medicare and replace it with a voucher program. In todays Evansville Courier Press, there is an article about the state of Illinois providing assistance to people using Medicare. The very first reader comment below the article, is from a Republican Tea Party Nut, who calls Medicare a "federal monstrosity." Those of us working class people who depend on Medicare do not think it is a "federal Monstrosity." Read the ARTICLE AND COMMENTS HERE. And, DON'T let the Republicans do away with MEDICARE.
GREEDY BASTARDS
Some of the Greedy Bastards in Washington, DC got caught spending about a MILLION DOLLARS of tax money to throw a big party in Las Vegas, Nevada. The guests were all government Big Shots and their corporate, big business Greedy Bastard friends. These are the very same Greedy Bastards who tell us that raising the minimum wage by 50 CENTS per hour would bankrupt the nation, and that we can't afford paying out Social Security Benefits to those of us who paid INTO Social Security all of our lives. They are ALSO the same Greedy Bastards who claim that we can't afford to keep our promises to war veterans.

MINIMUM WAGE
Why do Tea Party Republicans OPPOSE a raise in the minimum wage? Minimum wage laws are laws passed by Democrats. They are laws intended to make sure that any American, who is willing to get a job and work 40 hours per week, is able to earn enough money at that job to support themselves and their family. Minimum wage laws are created to give all workers a shot at a fair deal.
When the minimum wage is raised, everybody else's wages go up, TOO! For most Americans, minimum wage laws make the differences between hopeless slavery and earning enough wages for basic human needs.
MARSHALL SCOTTY and the TEA PARTY
In America, our elected civilian officials make the laws and set our policies. As an ex soldier, I know that soldiers and cops are intended to keep their fat yaps closed about politics and policy, and do as they are told by civilian authorities. That's how our system works. But , we have a little Problemo in New Harmony!
RICH FOLKS WHO PAY NO INCOME TAX?
You will be a little ticked off, when you see WHO PAYS ZERO INCOME TAX?
LIFE LONG REPUBLICAN
I was a life long Republican up until my mid to late fifties. Here are some of the reasons I am now a Democrat. When I was a Republican it was the party of Lincoln and Eisenhower. Now it has become the party of Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney.
I DIDN'T ABANDON THE GOP, THEY ABANDONED ME!
CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR
The wonderful old US Constitution guarantees our right to freedom of religion. This means that each one of us is completely free to believe what we choose. And, that no one is ever allowed to force us to follow their religion, not neighbors, not employers, and not government. Here is a article that shows our wonderful Constitution at work, protecting our freedom of religion.
I call it CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR!
SHOULD WE DESTROY SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE?
The Tea Party Republicans are saying (again) that Social Security and Medicare are "socialist programs, and that we should immediately END both of them. But, ordinary, air breathing, working class Americans love both Social Security and Medicare. And, the Democrats are saying that we need MORE of both programs.

BLISS & JOY TO THE HUMAN HEART
This past weekend, I spend some time at a place where there were hundreds of other people who were all smiling and having a good time. Well behaved little kids were running around shreiking with joy and giggling. Adults were calm and happy, and no one was angry at anyone else. It was bright, and sunny and the beautiful fresh air had hints of cooking smells wafting by on the gentle breezes. Everyone was respectful of everyone else, and a feeling of human fellowship was richly abundant. You MAY be thinking that I had died and gone to heaven, but that is not where I was.

CELEBRATING HUMAN DIVERSITY by Ron
I am in the planning stages for a gathering of gay, African American, pigmy, female, immigrant, non English speaking, Jewish albinos here in New Harmony, this summer. My plan is to expose some of the less well traveled Tea Party volk here in Posey County to a little down home, country style, human diversity. We will have drawings for hand crafted totemic door prizes made from native hemp, and we will have food booths selling organic food that is NOT fried and is not breaded..

BUYING YOUR CONGRESSMAN by Ron
Because of a very questionable Supreme Court decision, by a court packed with GW Bush appointed justices, there is now no control over how much money corporations and labor unions are allowed to hand to your Congressman, as a "gift." And, they can do this completely in secret, so that no one (such as you and I) knows who made these gigantic gifts of cash to our Congressman. We now have the big corporations bidding against one another in BUYING YOUR CONGRESSMAN.
ORAL SEX & the TEA NUTS by Ron
I never tire of watching the Tea People make complete fools of themselves. Pat Robertson, the Pope of the Tea Party, has decided that Americans CARE what he thinks about our private bedroom activities. And, has generously decided to give us his official Tea Party Blessing for Oral Sex.
WAR VETERANS by Ron
After vacationing in Florida for several weeks, it is tough to get myself back in the habit of writing something for this Blog, on a regular basis. I became addicted to using all of my time reading. Every day, I end my day, promising myself that tomorrow I will get off of square zero, and write a new column for my Blog. And then, on each tomorrow, I spend another day luxuriating in my reading. It is not that there is nothing to write about, far from it. Many topics simply clamor to be written about. So many in fact, that it is tough to choose just one, in order to get started. But this morning, I am thinking of my friend Charlie Thomas, and I want to say a few words about WAR VETERANS.
FEAR & LOATHING AND A NICE PICNIC ...by Ron
I observe that Tea People don't just distrust people who are different from them. The Tea folks actually FEAR people that are different from them in ANY way, and this includes skin color.
An associate of mine, a Black man, tells me that he can often FEEL the clutch of fear that poorly educated white males go through, when they are caught alone with him in an elevator, an empty hallway or the men's room. He says they just simply REEK of fear, even though, he himself is well dressed, highly educated, soft spoken and completely non-violent. Despite all of that, the Teahadist males automatically FEAR him because his skin color is "different."

SUPPORTING THE TROOPS ...by Ron
Bushoid neo-conservatives in America, such as Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney, Michelle Bachman and Karl Rove have attempted to sell American citizens the big fat lie that the act of "supporting the troops" requires us to ALSO support the greedy, selfish, inhuman, parasitic war mongers who, purely for corporate profit, arrange to put the troops in harms way. I myself am a "troop" from the Vietnam war, and I ask my fellow Americans to please NOT buy into this evil, phony, self serving Baloney being that is spread by corporate America. The troops and people who cause our wars are two separate and distinct groups, and they have NO common interests. Here are the facts about SUPPORTING THE TROOPS
RACISM and LOW TAXES ...by Ron
I was born
and raised in Posey County, Indiana. But, I left here in 1967 when my friends
and neighbors selected me to represent our state and county by serving in the
US Army during the Vietnam war. That was an honor reserved for young Hoosiers
not in line to inherit a farm or business. A sort of "consolation prize" in the
hereditary lottery of life, established for those of us not blessed with
family wealth. READ RACISM and LOW

TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE TAXPAYERS? ...by Ron
I have been working for years, lobbying Congress for better care for the children of Vietnam veterans who were born with birth defects such as spina bifida. The VA admitted about fifteen years ago that ~ 900 children had been born with birth defects as a direct result of A/O use in Vietnam. Of that ~900, about 90 are judged by the VA to be totally disabled by their A/O birth defects. A lot of ultra conservative, politically far right folks in America object to improved health care for these 90 A/O kids, because they say it is TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE TAXPAYERS.
WRAP UP OF 2011----- IF YOU ARE ...by Ron
I am told that if you want to be a "real" web site publisher, you are required by tradition to publish a round up of the years events every year at about this time in December. So, being the sort of guy that always follows all the rules and trafitions, I have compiled a capper of the world news of 2011, as seen from here in good old New Harmony. I called it 2011, If you are...
NEW HARMONY SCHOOL TO CLOSE .....by Ann Greenfield
More than 90 people, many of them graduates or employees of the New
Harmony/Harmony Township school system, sat in silent resignation, Thursday
night, as a unanimous vote to pursue consolidation was taken by the local Board
of Education. The sadness was palpable, as all in attendance realized that they
had witnessed the end of an era. READ
