I do, every goddam day. Will not be owned like a slave.
I left 2PPCLI years ago. I’m not in anymore.
The DC area is like a fascist state. As such Conservatives have to fake being liberals to survive if they are FedGov employees. The workers who are Conservatives have to maintain their cover like covert agents in a foreign land. DC is not the land of the free.
Because of an obvious conflict of interest. For the same reason welfare recipients should not be allowed to vote.
That is mostly true.
However, as others have said, DOD tends to be far far more conservative.
In my 36 years I have worked with one person who was “liberal” and even he would be counted as conservative by the democrat leadership these days.
It is true them many agencies are rabidly anti-American. but DOD is mostly conservative.
In Kansas City no conservatives need apply.
Obama ruined the DoD. I do not trust them ( leadership ) anymore. Look at Mattis for example. What a joke.
You have to fake it.
I know there are conservatives who work in government in the same way there are conservatives who live in California, Massachusetts, and Maryland, so I always keep that in mind when criticizing government workers.
My issue as a conservative is not that someone works for the goverment, but my issue is instead the sheer bloated number of people who work for the bloated government, and the government employee unions that they belong to.
“What is your problem? Are you threatening people?”
You seem like the one with the problem.
I don’t doubt that for a single second.
Living behind enemy lines.
Completely disagree.
I’m astonished that there are at least two people on this board who would take away my right to vote just because I work for the government. That just blows my mind.
I’ll pose the same question that I did to the other fellow... what about the military? They are also paid from taxpayer funds, would you strip them of their right to have a say so?
Au contraire, you are wrong.
DC has no Senator or rep. Why?
You didn’t answer my question. Would you take voting rights from the military?
Yes, Federal Workers have so called "Unions". Their contracts always were the same as what they are entitled to under Federal Law. The Unions call for (D) votes, but as with many Unions, the rank and file sometimes vote (R).
Most of the ire people have for the Government s/b directed @ the overall programs and related appropriations for items totally unrelated to governing and the Constitutional responsibilities of the President and Congress. (E.G. National Endowment for the Arts, PBS etc. If they were of values,the "Patrons" would support those functions or advertise through them. Planned Parenthood Federal Funds are tax money used to kill Americans and some of the $ is recycled through PACs to the Progressive (D), the true foe of Democracy. That is where the (D) Politics and waste really enters.)
By generalizing without valid statistics, many supporters of Conservatism may be alienated.
I’m not threatening you, I’m talking the history that keeps you silent.
You still did not answer my question. Yes or no, would you take voting rights away from the military?
Nope. Talking the history that keeps whistle blowers silent. We see people getting dead as they are ready to testify against swamp creatures constantly.
