In other words, a minor functionary of a branch of the federal government was able to exercise power over how a local institution chose to reflect the faith of its employees and customers.
That's. Going. Too. Damn. Far.
So far as I know, there is nothing in the Federal Reserve Charter that allows them to police private religious observance.
Go. To. Hell. Do. Not. Pass. Go.
Oklahoma is in his district, and the clowns are likely based in the OK City branch [ http://www.kansascityfed.org/oklahomacity/ ], not at HQ.
Problem is he is responsible for the way his underlings behave. The buck stops with the boss...unless he immediately fired them for being jackass’s.
Even though these nobama GOV stooges try to pull stupid moves on us from X rated x-rays at airport to our banks, when confronted they have consistantly folded like a cheap suit.
We’re supposed to worship the Fed and the Feds, and they are jealous gods.
The whole system needs to go, and by whatever means necessary. I forget the Freeper whose tagline reads, “The Founders would be shooting by now.” Maybe Ron Paul can effect this without bloodshed. Maybe not.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
I can absolutley gaurantee that if they came into my business and acted like commissars like they did with that bank, I would tell them to go find a sand pile.
Just one more reason to eliminate the Unconstitutional Federal Reserve.
ELIMINATE the FED! Who in the 7734 do these UNaccountable bureaucrats think they are?
It now appears a local bank robber in Richmond, VA says he was just helping the bank become Fed compliant by removing any bills which said, “In God We Trust”.
BUMP!
LOL!
So does this mean that the bank still cannot display 'Merry Christmas, God With Us' on their website? Seems like it, since this is not a personal item, but is on the bank's website.
An example must be made. This person must lose his job.
Many banks have already paid the Federal government back for TARP money. They don’t want Washingtonian direction.
Seems like the legislative guys overturned the executive guys. I don't think anyone in Hitler's Germany would have stood up to his administration.
...and be held accountable violation of civil rights.
Same here,and you are right. You know he going to start hearing and they will be entertaining when they happen.
