Utah company fires 2 workers who supported Obama

The head of a Utah forensics company says it's only fair that two liberal employees were let go because liberal policies are costing his business.

A Utah business owner says he fired two employees in large part because they supported President Barack Obama.

“They were Obama supporters. We just knew they were," Terry Lee, owner of Terry Lee Forensics, a Cedar City, Utah, digital forensics company, told The Salt Lake Tribune on Thursday.

**SNIP**

Contacted by the Tribune Thursday, Lee said he picked the two employees in large part on the basis of their politics, according to the newspaper. But he added that there were other issues as well, which he didn’t detail, and said the two workers "were not top performers."

The leftists who read MSN are flooding over to the SLT site and attacking the guy in the comments. We should all probably jump in and offer a few words of support.

Similar issue in NV. Kali’s move across the state line to escape kali and then start trying to “improve” how things are done here creating (or attempting to) a kalifornia east. Not sure if it’s intentional or not. Maybe their feeble little minds are too far gone to know when they have it good. Or at least better. We moved here from FL with the intention of ensuring NV would become more conservative. Sadly there are too many clowns in LasVegas who easily out vote the rest of the state.

Molon labe.

What was her response? Also, what were the responses of the others whom you fired due to their support of Obozo?”

...piano teacher said “my wife put that on my bumper”. I said, “your wife should know better”

...barbecue. “Who cares, we don’t want your hate in here” (They’re out of business by the way)

...handyman. “Wow. You’re kidding me! Your clients are always happy with my work”. I said, “I’ll find someone else that’ll make them happy”.

...haircutter. “That’s not fair”. I said, “your voting habits aren’t ‘fair’ to me, my family or my country”.

“The liberals are also doing it here in Florida. They move down here from the East & start voting for the Democrats. No wonder we have seen voting problems in the south east from hanging chads & illegals voting.”

I know exactly what you're talking about. Before we moved back to Utah, I was stationed in the Florida Panhandle for 8 years. While we were a pretty strong Conservative area there, Liberals transplants were infecting other areas of that beautiful state.

Hate to be repetitive, but Liberals have to be the stupidest people on the face of the earth. They clearly don't like to live under the results that their politicians put in place, so they move, and do the exact same thing to other areas. Stupid is the only word i can think of.

I love it! Good for you! It's important that these knuckleheads clearly understand there are consequences in voting. So often, they vote on pure emotion. You helped to show these people that their support of socialist, progressive policies will cost them...literally!

Again, good for you! :-)

I think in government, for non-civil service jobs, it is common to fire/hire based on politics. Another way for him to think about it is he was just boycotting those workers for supporting Obama. We know the left has no problem with boycotting a company based on politics, now the company is doing the same thing to them.

Oh great, political retribution. Anyone that cheers this on is not a conservative or a thinking American.

0bamazombies are either domestic enemies or useful idiots. Anyone who votes for a malignant narcissist and arrogant Stalinist thug is either ignorant or wishes to see this country destroyed. They need to be fired.

My wife and I decided we no longer need the friendship of these people and have pretty well stopped associating with the few relatives who do so. This all came about when we were at a church function and had to endure a couple of “O” supporters. When we got home I told her I didn’t want to associate with them any more and to my surprised she agreed....normally my wife isn’t that political but she has changed to the point we both made lists of the people and relatives we would avoid because of “O”.....I must profess our lives have improved because of that decision....liberals for the most part are toxic for the spirit!!! We got a little grief from some in the family but a lot less than we thought....and several who agreed and did the same!!!

This must be satire. I cannot believe anybody this stupid could be in the position of firing employees.

Why would any decent person want an Obama voter or for that matter any Democrat in their home? They have blood on their hands and can never ever be trusted.

Hey, I need to move there. Where I live, if you are not a supporter you are isolated. And if you are religious you are viewed as a kook. And if you are anti-abortion, you are anti women.

It’s okay to cheer when the good guys get over on the bad guys. Really.

Sorry, Sparky, I endorse this. In other countries, f***in leftwingers come around and KILL us on the right. We're not even killing. We're simply deciding not to do business.

Conservative auto dealers were put out of business when the auto bail out was happening, that is for sure.

ROFLMAO!

I know this is “supposed” to be satire, but I can seriously hear some dummkopf Democratic Socialist saying this very thing.

Great Humor really does have elements of truth in it! :-D
