Justice Department: Employees must affirm homosexuality

May 20, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Under President Obama, “justice” is anything but blind. Neither is it deaf. In fact, based on recent revelations, it appears to be watching your every move and listening to your every word. Still, if you happen to be a federal employee, now it’s even listening for your silence.

The only thing this Obama White House seems to generate is scandal. Well, here’s yet another to add to the growing list. In addition to the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting of political dissenters and the illegal seizure of media phone records, whistleblowers within DOJ have contacted Liberty Counsel to express grave concerns over this administration’s latest attack on freedom.

Our sources have provided Liberty Counsel an internal DOJ document titled: “LGBT Inclusion at Work: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers.” It was emailed to DOJ managers in advance of the left’s so-called “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month.”

The document is chilling. It’s riddled with directives that grossly violate – prima facie –employees’ First Amendment liberties.

Following are excerpts from the “DOJ Pride” decree. When it comes to “LGBT pride,” employees are ordered:

“DON’T judge or remain silent. Silence will be interpreted as disapproval.” (Italics mine)

No words left,

(i.e. silence)

What about the White House and all its occupants? Same rules?

[huldah1776]

homosexuality is an affirmed abomination.

The difference between the KGB and the Obama Administration is that
Not even the KGB dared to put this kind of stuff in writing

Hayek Was Right: The Worst Do Get to the Top

The Docile and Gullible Will Accept A Ready-Made System of Values

FEBRUARY 01, 1998 by LAWRENCE W. REED

In spite of freedom’s remarkable, global progress in recent years—from the collapse of the Soviet empire to the growth of “privatization”—there is no sign yet of a shortage of statists with silly and destructive schemes. The best explanation of why and how such people get into positions of power is still found in “Why the Worst Get on Top,” which is chapter ten of F. A. Hayek’s masterpiece, The Road to Serfdom.

When Hayek wrote his best-known book in 1944, the world was captivated by the notion of socialist central planning. While almost everyone in Europe and America decried the brutality of nazism, fascism, and communism, public opinion was being shaped and molded by an intelligentsia which held that these “excesses” of socialism were avoidable exceptions. If only we make sure the right people are in charge, said the statist intellectuals, the iron fist will dissolve into a velvet glove.

Those who, in Hayek’s words, “think that it is not the system which we need fear, but the danger that it might be run by bad men,” are naïve utopians who will forever be disappointed by the socialist outcome.

Affirmatively participating in another person's delusion will not cure their mental illness.

Mutilating a healthy body will also not cure mental illness.

[Vendome]

WTF???

[Durbin]

Regardless of ones views. I believe it is against the law for an employer to require it’s employees to disclose their sexual orientation. The law is the law.

[This I Wonder32460]

How can you affirm something you observe to be unhealthy? Something you realize wants to dominate, destroy and make you unhealthy too.????

[Mortrey]

Haven’t you heard?

The law is irrelevant.

[Durbin]

But of course. What was I thinking?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Is anyone really surprised????

[Amendment10]

Depending on how you interpret Clause 3 of Article VI, this Justice Department policy can be construed as an unconstitutional religious test for being a federal employee.

Article VI, Clause 3: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States (emphasis added).

Seems the government is forcing a religion on people. “YOu MUST believe...”

Embrace perversity.....or else...

Amazing how fast they went from demanding tolerance to demanding endorsement.

Amazing how fast they went from demanding tolerance to demanding endorsement.

I was there then, circa 1978.
When the whine was "All we ask for is a little tolerance. The most intolerant, disease-ridden psychopaths imaginable, it turns out.

The record of this societal conversation is in all the newspaper files of any large city.

I was fortunate to grow up in San Francisco, BEFORE it became sicko fruit central.
