Edjumacation
How would we as Realist educate our children? Would the modern classroom filled with bland structure and standardized testing suffice? Do we teach to instruct or to prepare? How has the current education system failed to arm all of us with the knowledge to live productive lives? We have to put a good portion of blame on our country's education system, for the current lack of productivity and inventiveness. The last four years are the proof of the failed liberal/socialist indoctrination experiment in our schools. How can Realism bring us out of it?
After returning the responsibility of educating our children to the lowest level possible, we would immediately bring an end to the department of education. With all of the variations in our society there should be no one way to instruct our children. What needs to be learned in New York City should be different than what's taught in the middle of the corn fields in Iowa. It is a parents role to lead and help raise the next generation. The Realist parent would understand the path his child is heading towards and individualize the curriculum to make the most of their child's strengths and goals.
There is parental control and that is where the control should be. The teacher is the specialist that shares information in our system. The educator does not try to brainwash or sway children with his or her opinion. Parents return to the position of leadership in shaping the thoughts of their children. Parents should be given the also on where they want to educate their children. Home, online, a public system are all permissible. Testing would be based on what the local level feel children should know in preparation for not only work, but life in general, real life.
Smoke em if you got em
So I'm sitting outside my local coffee house enjoying the mornings first infusion of liquid love. I'm seventy five percent coffee the rest is scars and titanium. In our city it's still legal for the old gravelly voiced men to sit outside and reminisce about the good ole days and have a smoke. Damn it it stinks, makes me stink but it smells, smells like freedom. That the man wearing the Budweiser baseball cap and the chromed aviators in this city still has the choice to do what gives him pleasure. Isn't that written somewhere, the pursuit of happiness.
So the current elements making inroads politically and socially are saying that its their right to tell us what makes us happy. The audacity. The sheer balls of a politician or pundit to pressure me into doing what's good for me. I find it quite cowardly to constantly live within the rules or to stay safe. The greatest inventions of our time took risk, deadly risk. In the late 19th and early 20th century bridge builders would calculate in how many men would die building a particular structure. The question is, were any of those men who gave up their lives for a road forced to do it?
Oh but if you don't have insurance then your medical burdens fall on the tax payer blah blah blah. Let me be free. With freedom there are consequences. Men will be cautious if they know mommy Sam isn't going to bail them out for their indiscretions. However, freedom pays a man handsomely for taking risk that benefit many. In Realism a man is allowed to choose as long as he understand he will be held accountable for that choice. Never in Realism will the choice be legislated from him.

Don't leave it to the judges
I have been a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner for almost five years. At the age that I started and with all my injuries it has been a daunting task. I have suffered injuries that would have retired most men, yet I recover and persevere. What this sport has taught me is to be great you must endure and persevere. So I fight through the pain and limp to my classes on the way up the ranks. I learn I submit some I tap a lot. One of the things I never do is surrender.
This last Saturday the mixed martial arts company I started fight-2-night sponsored our first fighter in a local promotion. The fighters were weighted equally. The opponent was a flashy kick boxer. My fighter was a wrestler with a wicked right hand. My fighter hit this guy so hard on three occasions you thought the fight was over numerous times. The other combatant got in a couple of good strikes and kicks, while our fighter took him to the ground and controlled the caged. Close fight, but I was certain our fighter had won. Even UFC Hall of Fame star Randy Couture felt our guy had won.
So it went to three men who were boxing judges and they decided the man that looked more like a boxer won unanimously. The crowd was shocked. I went over to some of my friends in his camp and they admitted our guy had won and that leaving to the judges is a gamble no fighter wants.
I have said all this to say that many of some of the most detrimental decision in our nations are made by judges that have been long since removed from the real battle on the streets. They are upper crust and sheltered and have little clue what the individual needs. So we need to place those in public office that will create legislation that won't have to depend on the support of the courts. You might just be ready to get your hand raised, then you fall to your knees in disbelief that the loser is now the winner.

Game of Thrones
We are in a cold war. Here in the US and around the world a silent war of power is being waged. Again, most of us, sleep walking through life have little awareness of the battle for control over a precious resource, us. Political factions, isms, false faiths all battle to have control over humanity. These entities have placed us square in the middle of this battle and care very little of collateral damage. As long as in the end there is only one power in complete control over all of us.
The present presidential campaign is a battle that will have an effect on a global scale and for generations to come. On the dark side, there are the Socialist factions currently in power who have made inroads into gaining control of many aspects of our lives. Banking, investments, healthcare, are now in control of the government sadly with the peoples quiet approval. In desperate times people panic and will follow anyone who will rescue them. The damage is done but America has a chance to remove the tumor that is threatening to spread.
Unfortunately, our alternative choice is not the optimal choice but it's a start. On the light side, capitalist have a businessman who at least has the idea of what it is to run a company, keep a budget, and make a business successful. The Mormon issue is one of concern for me because of what I know through my religious studies of Mormonism. There is little evidence that he proselytized by force in any of his endeavours so I will be vigilant.
There was really no one candidate on the right that completely won me over. If they could have been welded together it would have been the perfect candidate. The genius of Gingrich in Federalism history. The Libertarian principles of freedom from Paul. Santorum's fire and no nonsense Tea party ways. Romney's success in business and his presidential demeanor. Yet because of our two party system, we lose out on the best of all worlds. Romney will be a antiseptic to slow the left wing infection that threatens our nation. What we really need is the antibiotic that will kill the disease.
Worldwide there is a game of thrones being played that is real. From the middle eastern Arab spring, to the austerity programs being implemented in Europe. Numerous forces are tearing societies apart, for what? For faith? For freedom? I am more pessimistic and I think we all should be suspicious of these ultra dynamic changes that are being made globally. What are we being led to?

Realism and the order of things.
We need to take a look at how la cosa nostra applies to other parts of our lives other than politics. I think a lifestyle that is true to what is happening around us is healthier physically and intellectually. Coming to terms that your beginning to take back control of your life, will give you confidence and courage. So what parts of our lives will Realism effect? I would like to deal with these main areas. Economic, environmental, spiritual, familial, individual. If you all feel there is one we need to cover please feel free to add your comments here or to Twitter @ricantotheright.
Since Realism is an individual based movement, the individual will have to learn and adapt to being as self sufficient as possible. By self sufficient I mean having his mind freed to create and innovate. The Realist owns his destiny, he finds a way to be the best he genetically can be. The person pursuing Realism works hard, is driven, knowing that only He can truly guarantee his food and fuel. The realist is prepared. We understand that the world around is us cyclical and there are feast and famines. The. "Real" individual can play chess but plant corn if need be to provide. Too many of us, I will direct this towards men, can't even change a tire or handle a weapon. What will we do if this recession becomes worse and we find ourselves in a modern Great Depression. You can't eat your IPhone. So go online and learn some basic survival techniques both for food and combat. Learn to be a warrior again.
Economically speaking, our work ethic being superior, we earn more and save more so a country that embraces Realism would want for very little and would have very few dependent on it's government for support. The Realist nation knows that there are needs that all citizens require to pursue our daily work. Roads, telecommunications, industry, these would all be open to the free market. The free market would create competition so the fittest companies would make our infrastructure. We would provide for our needs by utilizing a democratic vote on budgets. The small government we create would make a budget, ask for bids then tell the population how much those project will cost. No more brother in lawing, no more affirmative action, no more cost over runs. We run our countries like businesses. More tomorrow.
Back to reality
Alright I can't be serious 100% of the time. Throw a curve ball of weirdness at you all to keep you on your toes. We have all felt disconnected and unique because we think differently, act differently. Life is never easy for anyone trying to break from the mold of what society says we are or must do.
In our current nanny state men and women are giving up their freewill. Isn't it easy? It sends you back to childhood. Someone directed you and guiding you at every turn so that you don't get a boo boo. Any risk, any exploration was carefully overseen to prevent us from pushing our limitation. So limitations then are a remnant of our youth. Since most of us reading my writings are adults, isn't it time to just plain grow up.
So as awakened grownups now we now have a really scary burden, responsibility. We are now responsible to make others aware of the truth in Realism. That Realism unleashes us to whatever our full potential is. No one ascribing to our philosophy will hinder another's pursuit of his or her own happiness.
