Omaha's hegemonist mayor Mike Fahey
I see from the search engine referrals that folks are looking to the Plains Feeder for something about the Elkhorn annexation and the OPS school putsch. This is much better than you cats who come here looking for "barnyard sex". (You know who you are, and you should knock it off before this happens.)
As I have said before, I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't care if Mayor Fahey takes over all of Douglas County; he can have it. But I still think what he wants to do is wrong. Here's why.
Centralization and geographic expansion of government power enables any despot to increase the imposition of cultural hegemony. Enforced hegemony is to democracy what anti-matter is to matter. One annihilates the other. Despots love to centralize power because each individual's vote is diluted to the extent his voting district is enlarged or engulfed.
The opposite of centralization and expansion of government is called local control. Local control is a close kin to self-determination and local autonomy, all manifestations of freedom. Local control is the friend of democracy.
Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey's insensitive plan to annex all he can reach, and the Omaha Public School District's hypolegalistic 'one city, one school district' scheme both represent a dangerous trend. An island of entrenched Democrat party machine liberalism seeks to impose cultural hegemony upon their more conservative neighbors without giving them a voice or a vote in the matter. Shame on them for using the demographically skewed 'big city' of Omaha to leverage their political power by such non-democratic means.
Let the ideals of freedom, self-determination and local control be served. Just say NO to Fahey and OPS. Whoops, I forgot. They don't care what you have to say.
Liberals always know what is best for the peasants under their care.
Apologies to Stalin's family.
Another definition of 'hegemony' is in the Trough.
