Obama Administration Intends to Purge Republicans From the Civil Service
RED STATE ^ | Erick Erickson

Posted on 11/12/2009 10:39:33 AM PST by RonnieFan

Remember how the Democrats reacted when the Bush Administration started replacing U.S. Attorneys? At least they were actually political appointees employed at the will and whim of the President.

First they fire them, then they jail them...

And there won't be a peep out of the MSM...

That's the same attitude that helped get Obama elected. Too many people stayed home because McCain wasn't "right" enough. Look what it got us.

It's easier for one man to change his mind than to convince tens of millions to do so. You blame those millions for not changing their mind on McCain (ie - voting for him).

Whereas had McCain, and only McCain, changed his mind and run as a CONSERVATIVE, all those voters would have come voting.

Amazing idea, isn't it?

We were warned during the election. The thugs were out there then.

What does Obama care about legal? Or even constitutional? But to answer your question, no, it is not. The civil service laws prohibit firing civil service employees for political reasons.

There will be an election. Even the zero cannot prohibit the states from holding one. Unless Christ returns to earth and raptures his church, leaving the liberals basically uncontested in their lust for power, there would be an armed revolution.

Just as appalled as our founding fathers would be at what we are letting them get away with. They gave us explicit instructions and means to keep the Republic. We let them down.

As I recall, one of clinton’s first actions was to fire all the U.S. attorneys. Didn’t hear a peep about that.

Exactly.

Reminds me when Billary got the WH Travel Office Staff fired because Hill said, “We need the slots”.

Zero needs lots more SLOTS to stuff his Acorn friends into taxpayer funded jobs so they can use their taxpayer funded time to do HIS bidding come election time.

I had this semi-comforting thought that President Bush has probably gotten thousands of good, honest, decent, freedom loving people to seek Federal government jobs - appointing many and then, as stated, these become regular civil servants into their time in their positions.

Now these decent, honest, freedom loving types will be fired and replaced with either Acorn type thugs/crooks or more Van Jones type communists.

Why not a class action lawsuit by those who are being “purged” ????

Seems like such is illegal. Particularly the 5 year bit designed to get rid of Repubs only.

“By force....they will have to be removed....one by one.”

I’m of that mindset, too.

I was not aware anyone could be fired from a government job based on his/her political affiliation. This is morally unjustified and probably illegal as well.

Every day it under the DemocRATS this country seems to descend further into a Socialist nightmare. I am just waiting for the DemocRATS to find a reason to cancel the elections in 2010 and for Obama to declare Marshall law on the pretext of stabilizing the country.

Not surprising, since that is Standard Operating Procedure in much of Illinois!

That’s right, freedom is so important. Let’s leave it to a vote.

Unfortunately, you are likely correct. A sizable chunk of the country believes everything a Democrat tells them. If the party says that 2+2=5 then that is the new sum. It has ALWAYS been the sum.

“That he presses onward with agenda items like this will soon reach a tiping point among a majority of even Democrat Voters at some point.”

Do you really think that psychotics can heal themselves?

IMHO

WE’RE THE ONES WITH THE GUNS.

You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don't you know that you can count me out Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right

You say you got a real solution Well, you know We'd all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well, you know We're doing what we can But when you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell is brother you have to wait Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right

You say you'll change the constitution, Well, you know We all want to change your head You tell me it's the institution Well, you know You better free you mind instead But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right all right, all right, all right all right, all right, all right

“Just wait until we take everything back in 2012. We will not be charitable like we used to be.”

That will only happen if an activist group keeps track - remembers - and raises holy smokes to make it happen. Otherwise the Republicans will just let O’s communists stay like they always do.
