Obama Administration Intends to Purge Republicans From the Civil Service

Remember how the Democrats reacted when the Bush Administration started replacing U.S. Attorneys? At least they were actually political appointees employed at the will and whim of the President.

Where’s Francis E. Walter when you need him?

AND THEY PREACH ABOUT “DIVERSITY” AND “INCLUSIVENESS” AND HOW THEY ARE SOOOOOO “TOLERANT” OF OTHERS..............HYPOCRITES AND LIARS!..............

Barack Obama is changing that. He intends to purge all Republicans from the federal bureaucracy retroactive to five years ago.

Obama may intend to do just that, but the memo does not say it. The memo says that anyone proposed for a federal civil service position, who has held a political appointment in the last five years, must have that appointment reviewed by OMB. That requirement applies to pending and future appointments, the memo says nothing about people who have already been appointed to federal civil service positions.

This memo, if properly applied, could prevent Obama doing what Clinton did, turning hundreds if not thousands of political appointees into Democrat moles with Civil Service jobs. Not sure how many Republicans went this route when Bush left, Republicans tend to have real lives and real jobs that they can go back to. Democrats, not so much.

Let ‘em. What sane, patriotic American would want to work for that SCUMBAG?

That's the same attitude that helped get Obama elected. Too many people stayed home because McCain wasn't "right" enough. Look what it got us.

As much as you and us hate bureaucracy, what you will hate even more is a bureaucracy filled with ideologue liberals and socialists. Believe me, many of us have already found that out at the state level.

Make them beg for their jobs. Then give them a pie in the face and seltzer down their pants.

Where’s Joe McCarthy when you need him?.................

This isn’t Communism. They aren’t being sent to the gulags and painted out of group photos. Yet. < /NPR >

[DoughtyOne]

That’s absolutely spot on bud. How you can be an independent and buy into this administration or the left at all, is beyond me. The lies are just too damned big, and the goals just too damned transparent.

[Red Badger]

No, THEY will be wearing the Mark of the Beast........................

[a fool in paradise]

So much for tolerance and diversity.

UNDER THE BUS!!!

[MrB]

Nothing about Bush p’d me off more than “The New Tone”.

The bastard democRats had used the power of government against political enemies all during the Clinton admin (audits, etc),

and Bush did NOTHING to root them out and get rid of them.

[tioga]

looks like theOne is looking for jobs for those let go by ACORN.

[a fool in paradise]

I cannot fathom how such a “policy” could extend beyond the single term of one president (5 years).

This is clearly abuse of power.

The list, ping

Diring the 1960s Hal Lindsey wrote a book called The Late Great Planet Earth...

I had a copy for years...

More and more, we have what he predicted...

[ichabod1]

Yes we willl too much of this bickering the public wants us to get things done time to reach out.

[MrB]

Oh, how many times have I heard that -

“This isn’t communism/socialism - that’s what they had in the Soviet Union. They don’t intend to do that here!”

[rockinqsranch]

Obama is on the right track, but destined for the wrong station. Something of this nature must be done to clear out the mental retard Leftists entrenched for years in the bureaucracies of our government.

Will “The One problem” have to be solved “The Chicago Way”?

I asked that question a few days ago and was attacked.

Indeed, what do we do when:
ACORN controls 2010 vote count and rats keep control of Congress?
ACORN controls 2012 vote count and chairman MAO-bama stays in office and elections are meaningless or stopped completely?

What do Americans (including the military) do then?
