Obama Administration Intends to Purge Republicans From the Civil Service
RED STATE ^ | Erick Erickson

Posted on 11/12/2009 10:39:33 AM PST by RonnieFan

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.

I think it means civil service protection must be before 2004, or it is now invalid under the American people’s “change” mantra.

And we will purge every last democrap from office in 2010 and in 2012, including the punk in the White House.

The democrap boys and girls have had the keys to the castle for 10 months now and in this short period of time have managed to show that they can’t be trusted whatsoever.

What comes around goes around. Karma.

"Seems to be open to lawsuits for being retroactive"

Ex Post Facto law-making?

They can do whatever they damned well please, it seems, and NO judges seem to be willing to incur their (the communists in power) wrath, by enforcing even the Constitution.

I don't believe SEIU has anything to do with this, does it?

ACORN people who will be without jobs (or already have been thrown out) will replace former "civil servants" that are purged, I would think.

And is the GOP going to REVERSE everything Obambi has done with the monstrosity health care bill? When have Repubs EVER done that? Social Security? Medicare? Welfare? Affirmative Action? Abortion?

I read the memo. Dont see anything about people currently in civil service being removed from their jobs.

Best I can determine, this applies only if an agency wants to convert a political appointee to civil service in the future.

I’m a bit puzzled as to how they can make this change retroactive 5 years. Seems to be open to lawsuits for being retroactive. But then,again, this whole administration does nothing BUT go backwards.

The 0bama-trons would love to do this but civil service rules make it near impossible to fire anyone
I doubt they will be able to go back five years
They may be able to change what goes on from now on but not five years ago

If one looks at history, one will find that the pruge cycle starts after the frs 1 to 2 years, as the new totalitarian Junta gets its upper echelons in order.

And Obama has now reached critical bureaucratic mass with the Czars he has appointed. Their role is a purger role. That is why they are there.

And the laws or constitution will not matter. Obama has the unions on his side, and they will collect dossiers on the private lives of the expendable. So watch for enforced early retirement, firings for cause ( political correctness), sex scandals and if all else fails, accidental deaths.

The Obama Junta at work. And all predicted by conservatives prior to Nov. 2008.

Who will Ameica vote for now?

Yep, this is all about a purge. America, what happened to you?

That being said, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to get the encrusted Dem bureaucracy out. Who can reap the whirlwind?

“We will not be charitable like we used to be.”

Our brains serve us poorly if we rely on our higher cognitive and emotional centers too much in basic survival situations. Our more primitive reactions are better designed for that.

In that spirit, it has always seemed to me most practical to simply, for instance, think of adherents of the Religion of Peace as if they were cockroaches. To do otherwise seems a certain recipe for our extinction.

I believe the same approach towards liberals/socialists warrants consideration as well, now that I understand them better. To humanize them is to take ourselves down a path of thinking that will lead to actions that result in our extinction. They are not amenable to reason or to measured approaches.

we still have the weak fools of McCain, Romney, Steele, Snowe, and their pathetic ilk.

I have no faith whatsoever in the alleged leadership of the GOP.

I concede your point, but if Pres—ent Scumbag wants to stink the C.S. into a worship-cult, I’d rather let the entire thing flame-out on the whole when it fails miserably.

I’m a federal employee (in liberal SF no less!) and like my job very much.

Trust me, you want some conservatives in this job protecting the taxpayer’s interests rather than just giving away the farm.

If there were more conservative feds I believe there would be much less “waste fraud and abuse,” as they say.

I don’t like my agency’s very existence, but since I’m employed here I plan to be the best bureaucrat I can be. . .

I think people should not expect to have an election by then, this puppet is for the whole enchilada.

As if the bastardization of our election process during his election didn’t tell us that.

He’s going Hugo.

Just wait until we take everything back in 2012. We will not be charitable like we used to be.

We would not, but I have a strong feeling that the GOP will fold & wilt like a wet blanket before rolling back ANYTHING involved with 0bozo or his socialist appointees or agenda. Heck, the GOP House majority from 2000-2006 even capituled to the House minority demoRATs who demanded and got, 50/50 representation on all House committees. What a bunch of weenie, pandering cowards. As much as I hate Nancy Pelosi & the demoRATs, I wish just for ONCE that the Repubs would take a chapter (or the entire playbook) from the dems, and that Repubs would play hardball against the demoRATs and tell the media & demoRATs to go screw themselves when they whine & holler about anything.

Trouble is it won't flame-out on the whole. It just keeps creeping forward -- like that frog in the pot with the water heating up slowly. You have to fight each step as it happens instead of waiting for the Titanic moment -- it will never happen as most of the "electorate" become accustomed to each incremental step and the next and the next...
