And the thing is even if the order is rescinded by the next president, those employees are forever.

You put your finger on another reason why O's doing it. He knows he stands a good chance of losing, so he wants to poison the well for any future Republican president, by creating a federal workforce which will work hard to undermine any Republican's orders, leak anything embarrassing immediately, and cannot be fired no matter what.

This is nothing new. The Federal Government was always this way. About 20 years ago, I applied for several openings for which I was highly qualified. The hiring supervisor told me point plank that he would love to hire me, but minorities and women took preference. I did contract work for them so they knew the quality of my work and experience. Being a Military Veteran with 21 years service was no help either.

A recent post on a Jesse Lee Peterson thread on Facebook asked whether there wasn’t some way jobs could be provided for black people without providing them for anyone else. Looks like the pussident found a way.

I think you may be onto something with the genocide.

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

Approved and proposed for signature and ratification or accession by General Assembly resolution 260 A (III) of 9 December 1948

Entry into force: 12 January 1951, in accordance with article XIII

The Contracting Parties ,

Having considered the declaration made by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its resolution 96 (I) dated 11 December 1946 that genocide is a crime under international law, contrary to the spirit and aims of the United Nations and condemned by the civilized world,

ecognizing that at all periods of history genocide has inflicted great losses on humanity, and

Being convinced that, in order to liberate mankind from such an odious scourge, international co-operation is required,

Hereby agree as hereinafter provided :

Article I

The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish.

Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

a ) Killing members of the group;

( b ) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

( c ) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

d ) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

e ) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

rticle III

The following acts shall be punishable:

a ) Genocide;

b ) Conspiracy to commit genocide;

c ) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;

( d ) Attempt to commit genocide;

( e ) Complicity in genocide.

Article IV

Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals.

Article V

he Contracting Parties undertake to enact, in accordance with their respective Constitutions, the necessary legislation to give effect to the provisions of the present Convention, and, in particular, to provide effective penalties for persons guilty of genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III.

rticle VI

Persons charged with genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be tried by a competent tribunal of the State in the territory of which the act was committed, or by such international penal tribunal as may have jurisdiction with respect to those Contracting Parties which shall have accepted its jurisdiction.

Where does one find a tribunal?

This is exactly why the federal government is so screwed up. They hire based on a person’s racial or sexual status and not on qualifications.

He is doing this as if these hiring practices haven’t been in overdrive in the Federal government for years. Blatant reverse discrimination.

Yes - we had a local GS-13 that was responsible for a lot of excellent white candidates being passed over for substandard Black females. He also happened to be the president of a local chapter of the NAACP. Well-known, but nobody had the gonads to intervene.

“”This will not stand” as the Big Lebowski said.”

I hate to be picky, but wasn’t it The Dude who uttered this line, not the “Big” Lebowski?

In any event, this latest EO is really chilling. My son is a white, male, heterosexual who got a government job two years ago. He’s a US Marine.

So when he finishes his final tour (working with a black lab to sniff out IEDs in Afghanistan), he is now prohibited for finding another “government job” unless he stays in the Corps?

Between this and the Amnesty EO just signed, the level of anger in America just ratcheted up off the scale. How should we react?

I received this in an email a couple of weeks ago:

I bought and read Obama’s book, Audacity of Hope. It was difficult to read considering his attitude toward us and everything American. Let me add a phrase he use to describe his attitude toward whites. He harbors a “COIL OF RAGE”. His words not mine.

THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT — HE’S RUNNING AGAIN, YOU KNOW! Is anyone out there awake?
Everyone of voting age should read these two books by him: Don’t buy them, just get them from the library.

From Dreams From My Father:
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”

From Dreams From My Father :
“I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.”

From Dreams From My Father:
“There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white.”

From Dreams From My Father:
“It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

From Dreams From My Father:
“I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

And FINALLY ........... and most scary:
From Audacity of Hope:
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to do so!!! We have someone with this mentality running our GREAT nation! Keep your eye on him and don’t blink.

I don’t care whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Conservative or a liberal, be aware of the attitude and character of this sitting President.

Spread the word!

Hopefully he’d follow the law, which is fairly specific regarding disabled veterans. This sounds like a good rider to attach to the federal budget and the GOP could have a PR coup with it.

Do you see them concentrated at the lower end, higher end or not? There are a lot of positions that unless you have the background (pharmacy, medicine, finance, engineer, etc.) you just don’t get the job.

"What we've seen to date is nothing compared to the shitstorm that's going to rain down if Obama wins in 2012"

Get ready for it....the money-machine for the "Progressives" is un-limited, and will spend in excess of a Billion dollars for continued "hope and change".

It's simply too difficult now to out-vote Fraud, and Free-Riders. We've gone too close to the edge.

Lock 'n load.

I want everybody to realize how insidiously our thinking is shaped by language with this example:

Think of the variants of the root for "diverse": adverse, perverse, obverse, averse, inverse, converse... The word implies opposition and conflict.

Now consider "diversity" in contrast to the word, "variety." The difference is obvious, the latter is merely an array of differences, while the former implies conflict of interest. Look at the consequences...

Wherever there is conflict, there is need for settlement: bureaucrats, police, lawyers, prison guards... Hence "diversity" as opposed to "variety" as far as the Slave Party is concerned has been a bonanza for the budding police state. Yes, the word is that insidious and so are they.


You have to hand it to the cultural marxists; they have been very successful at changing the every day meaning of language and infiltrating grass roots organizations.

Interesting, as most people look at this latest move in terms of jobs. Do not forget this means the "Diverse Ones" will be implementing any laws whether they be unwritten, written or customary. "Holder's People" are in charge. They have the bomb and the keys to Ft. Knox.

Who will be the winners and who will be the losers?

Blacks make up some 17% of the Federal workforce already, but comprise just under 13% of the population.

Is he going to fire 4% of these overpaid sloths?

Correct. As soon as I saw this story I knew the directive was a response to Maxine.
