I call BS; outside the military I have yet to meet a government worker who wasn't in it for glory, money, power or the security of a government pension.
LOL! Yes, that's been my experience, too.
I will say that the only exception has been the Park Service and a few people in State (mostly former military) that I have met over the years.
I think one reason Obama wanted to shut down the Park Service is that he realized it's the only functional agency in the US government and the only one that actually seems to have intelligent, dedicated Americans in its employ.
From my experience, government employees spend their days looking for an opportunity to deny a “civilian” the liberty to pursue happiness.
Ted Cruz, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alio, and Antonin Scalia are real Americans.
But otherwise you are pretty close.
Then why aren’t they at work today? Is it because they have no pride or no paycheck?
You obviously don’t know very many government workers or the nature of their jobs.
“We do our jobs to take home several checks, so we can own a beach house, a mountain house, and our house in town. We also use our special status in a down economy to use our taxpayer supplied money to take over hurting private businesses, and we act like we deserve our position.” WE are you— honest.... surely. Our shirts are brown.
