A LETTER FROM LESTER

Hello. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lester Chestermo and I recently relocated to the beautiful State of California. World renowned Balcony author and all around man about tolerance Mike Jones has graciously offered me use of his website to offer a heartwarming tribute to you...the people of California and to share a story whose theme centers on two subjects near to my heart. Tolerance and acceptance.

My personal story actually begins as one of intolerance and hatred. You should know that the last so many years of my life have been a living hell for me. It seemed I could not escape the vicious cycle of discrimination and judgment that followed me wherever I went. Over the years I found myself moving from state to state, desparately attempting to escape the hatred and intolerance but it followed me wherever I went. I was forced to live among cruel, narrow minded people who looked down on me and watched my every movement. I was branded a threat and treated differently in every community and in every aspect of my day to day existence. Life was hell……….until I moved to California.

You see…….I am a convicted pedophile. I am a victim of a condition that results in my frequent and uncontrollable physical attraction to young children(particularly little girls) and as a result of a series of unfortunate mishaps many years ago, I was labeled a child molester and sent to prison for 15 years. Those mishaps may have permanently scarred the lives of the children I spent time with but it is important for you to know that it also caused me significant personal stress and whatever happened between me and those four year old girls was purely a result of my love and respect for their beauty. An expression of love it seems only the tolerant and accepting people of the State of California can appreciate and accept.

California offers a variety of services and considerations to registered sex offenders that are simply not available in most of the other hater states. My lifelong issue with authority figures makes it difficult for me to stay employed and you, the fine folks of California have declared this to be a disability, allowing me the opportunity to partake of a generous Social Security disability income. Thanks for being so understanding!

In 2006….a few judgmental California voters (73%) passed prop 83 which would have prohibited me from living across the street from an elementary school where I could shop for another loving/touching relationship. Fortunately for me and all other predators out there seeking equality of life, a couple of brave sex offenders and their attorneys sued the state because they did not like the law and to this day it has never taken effect. I say kudos to Californians for seeing to it that my due process rights reign supreme over your children’s safety. You make me feel like I am home now. Tolerance happens when we dream together!

Can you believe that every state in the union requires people with my affliction to provide law enforcement with our personal information so they can protect the public from me and alert the community about me? If that isn’t absurd enough, I have even been placed under arrest in other states and spent quality time in their hoosegow when I chose not to abide by these very laws. But thank gawd for California and their policy of inclusion because here in the Golden State it seems I can decide when and if I feel like obeying the law! If I happen to get caught here and arrested by a fine upstanding police officer for sex offender law violations, I can usually count on the fine upstanding District Attorney’s Office to let me go and drop all charges. WOW!  How tolerant is that! Its so nice to finally find a place where I’m free to explore my inner temptations and the exciting sensations when I can express myself as I please to those gentle loving little girls who really want a friend who understands them, who gives them candy, hugs and then something a little more. I hesitate to divulge the name of the city where I currently reside but it rhymes with Sacred Tomato……. and this Tomato rocks!

I am completely ingratiated to the fine people of California and owe you a debt of Gratitude. I will not forget the compassion you have shown me. It’s almost hard to believe that here in this utopian paradise I may soon be able to legally walk right into a girl’s restroom and have a look around without the stress of getting caught by police or the risk of being beaten half to death by enraged parents who have issues with my expressions of love toward their children. They are obviously intolerant and don’t embrace the tremendous diversity of California life styles!

The word has spread about this paradise along the west coast and my brethren have responded. With approximately 120,000 of us now living here, California can now proudly and inclusively proclaim that this state has more sex offenders then any other ten states combined! States from all over the fruited plains have joined in the effort and paid for bus fare to send their sex offenders here also! Isn’t that great! And I have you, the great citizens of the greatest state in the union to thank……….

From the bottom of my heart………..Thanks

Sincerely,

Lester Chestermo

PUSH BACK- PART TWO

Human beings want to live with freedom and dignity. These are two crucial components of a balanced and valued existence yet throughout the history of human kind these very qualities of life have been repeatedly attacked and suppressed by a tyrannical few. Virtually every culture on earth today has, at some point in their history been forced to deal with the unpleasant results of allowing a few power hungry people to regulate and control their destinies. And to a culture, that destiny was tortured to the point where the people eventually stood up and simply said “no more”. Many times bloodshed followed, but in every instance there existed intense conflict between opposing philosophies and ideologies. If a compromising balance was not struck, the issue was usually settled by using the most common of human conflict management techniques. Violence.

The country of Brazil is currently embroiled in several days of civil unrest and violence as a result of mass protests known as the “Vinegar movement”. Brazilians are experiencing the tyrannical and undignified consequences of a big, inefficient and abusive government and when a protester was recently arrested for nothing more then carrying a bottle of vinegar, the fuse was lit that ignited the passion of a citizenry. They woke up and said “no more.”

Brazil’s current situation is not unique by any stretch of the imagination. Pushing a people past their point of tolerance has been a reoccurring theme throughout the course of history and there are currently different versions of it playing out right now in Turkey, Spain, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran and Greece. Will it be our story soon right here in the United States?  

Think about it my friends. In America today we have layers upon layers of dysfunctional and inefficient federal, state and local government consuming more and more of our economic resources. Self indulging politicians pass law after law restricting our constitutionally protected freedoms while exempting themselves from the very rules and constraints that they place on the electorate. Our federal government is no longer the necessary evil for the people of the United States. It has become a nation state of its own, clear cut from the moral tethers of it founding principles and no longer accountable. We should have a healthy skepticism toward the government but all I see from where I sit is pure fear. That is unacceptable to a free people.

Our revenue collection agency is criminally corrupt. Our security agency gathers every bit of information it can on its own citizens while casually standing by while terrorists blow us to bits. Our Homeland security agency considers white males the most dangerous threat to this country while laying down the red carpet for Islamic extremists. Our highest law enforcement agency is run like a Gestapo by a racist thug. Our environmental agency is nothing more then an extortion operation for the left. The White House threatens dissenters and destroys the lives of those who disagree. This is no longer the land of the free. But it can be again. If we push back. If we say “no more.”

Federalist number 51, written by philosopher and eventual President James Madison, addresses the case for limiting the power of government:

“It may be a reflection of human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest reflection on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government….”

This is what I take from this passage. We can still function as the force that prohibits government from spiraling out of control, especially since Madison seems to indicate that those who govern naturally begin to think a bit too highly of themselves (Pelosi?) and we still, at least for the time being, are free enough to speak out and freely exchange ideas about our country and its government, regardless if those ideas are contrary to the edicts from the emperor and his henchmen.

Are we on the path to repeat history? Was the Revolutionary War just a scrimmage for the big game later? Do we as a citizenry have the ability to act as the balancing force against a government that has seized way too much control over our lives? I firmly believe the question is not “can we,” but “will we” step up and not only demand accountability, but ensure accountability.

I believe we have the ability. Do we have the courage? Our freedoms and our dignity are a stake. I say “no more.”

PUSH BACK, PART 1

Today, in America, our system of government is being systematically destroyed and our elected officials have gone rogue, having detached themselves from their constitutional moorings. Sadly, representative government here has died. We now see more clearly then ever that power in the hands of dishonorable people can result in totalitarian levels of abuse. “Our” federal government has granted themselves the “legal authority” to, among other things collect electronic data on the daily activities of every innocent person in America and around the world. It is disturbing to be sure and completely contrary to this country’s founding principles; principles eaten away by the infestation of Marxist subversives.

The countless scandals unfolding daily are illustrative of the careless sense of arrogance and entitlement exhibited by Obama’s administration. We have all witnessed the snarky hubris of each and every Obama appointee as they smugly and not so subtly refuse to cooperate with congressional investigations into their felonious conduct. They know they have protection from accountability. The president established a new form of government that does involve integrity, honesty or accountability to the people. With true leadership absent, federal agencies feel license to push the boundaries of their authority and treat those with whom the democratic party dislike as enemies of the state. They have been granted tacit approval from the White House to run amok. Literally. And who in Washington will stop them? 

 British historian Lord Acton coined the now famous phrase: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” And I am quite certain a bureaucratic regulatory state is not was John Adams had in mind when he spoke of “a government of laws and not of men.”  We must remind ourselves, lest we forget entirely the whole purpose behind the birth of this once great country; our government was instituted by a free people and its job was to preserve and foster individual liberty. Where did our individual liberties go?

Your liberties have been confiscated by government agencies and sold back to you in the form of Permits, surcharges, fees and taxes. The government will “allow” you to remodel your home….for a fee…..and as long as you follow all their new laws…including which light bulb you may use. Want new siding on your house? Sure…..pay the government a fee first and then you must allow the installers to go in to your home and make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector installed. Even if you’re entire house runs on electricity! I mean this is all for your own good right? A government that has assumed the authority to demand your private health records, determine your level of healthcare, confiscate your weapons, collect all your phone records and email messages, deny you tax exempt status because you do not support their ideologies and give your money to whomever they please while forcing more out of us is only looking after our best interests right? Does anyone anywhere really believe that?

I spent the last two and half years scribbling out blogs warning anyone who cared that this was coming, but I will be the first to admit I did not expect it to happen this fast. Never the less it is here. Today. Now.

Our founding fathers made it clear in their insistence that the people must always reserve the right to resist, and even overthrow their government; if and when the founding purpose has been abrogated (I’m sure that last line was full of alert words for the NSA and Homeland Security to focus on). But in regards to resistance, do we as a citizenry have the actual capacity to resist? Has the disparity in strength and material advantage between the government and its people become insuperable? Will we be left entirely at the mercy of the leaders? I would argue that a government so overgrown in power will certainly not remain true to its legitimate purpose. If you doubt this……ask the Turks.

I need to stray here for a minute. It is my opinion that Barrack Hussein Obama would be the greatest act of domestic terrorism ever perpetrated upon the American people was it not for the simple fact that he is a gigantic fraud. And he knows it. Little more then an actor hired from a casting company by the Chicago political mob to play the part, Obama is not the blame here. He is a tool, a dufus, a phony, a charlatan, a great speaker who can hardly wipe he own butt. He is made up, concocted and molded to play a role. Forget the big eared dip shit for a minute. He is not the real problem here.

We are.
