The head of a Utah forensics company says it's only fair that two liberal employees were let go because liberal policies are costing his business.
A Utah business owner says he fired two employees in large part because they supported President Barack Obama.
“They were Obama supporters. We just knew they were," Terry Lee, owner of Terry Lee Forensics, a Cedar City, Utah, digital forensics company, told The Salt Lake Tribune on Thursday.
**SNIP**
Contacted by the Tribune Thursday, Lee said he picked the two employees in large part on the basis of their politics, according to the newspaper. But he added that there were other issues as well, which he didn’t detail, and said the two workers "were not top performers."

Nonsense. You fight fire with fire. Those that play by the rules will die by the rules in this environment. You can bring back your moral high ground after we win.
I believe you’re looking for “at-will employment”.
That said, letting political preference cloud sound business judgment is not the wisest(or most profitable) idea. It can cut both ways and leave money on the table. One can look at economics to see how this is likely to pan out.
He is always free to choose a path that harms his long-term prosperity (by helping his competition) in exchange for short term gains.
Kudos to you.
It is a lonely proposition in my part of the country, but I can’t stand their “humor” which is mostly mocking George Bush.
He probably hired them because of affirmative action but fired them because they figured the company owed them something.
I would say the odds are, you are not alone in your feelings.
Good!!! I fired a subcontractor after seeing her Facebook posts, gushingly supporting B-HO. I will NEVER, knowingly hire a lib. I predicted that libs would be firing bait and, sure enough, the unemployed became a class of people on Nov 7. I no longer blame B-HO. A pig is a pig... I blame the voters.
I didn’t think I needed a /sarc tag.
“This must be satire. I cannot believe anybody this stupid could be in the position of firing employees.”
May be but it’s out there and it is happening. I’ve had
three customers ask me who and what I support since November.
And as far as I’m concerned, any contractor who complains
about listening to Rush on the job is gone as soon as I can
create a breach in their contract, though I have weeded them
out years ago. And don’t even think about putting any
“no speeky no english” wetbacks on my job.
Exactly. Even you were going to do it, don’t go mouthing off to the world, find a reason and shut up on any secondary reasons. Guy is stupid but frankly, way too many people are mouthing off about things lately.
I believe that this falls under Utah being an “employment at will” state.
Yes, he probably should have kept his mouth shut about specifically why these people were fired.
I would do the same (fire Obama supporters), although I'd keep quiet about it... ;-)
Well, if you were in East Texas I could recommend one with a NRA and Krav Maga sticker on her car.
“Oh great, political retribution. Anyone that cheers this on is not a conservative or a thinking American.”
Oh great, anti political retribution, about forty years too
late. It’s about time conservatives got on the band wagon.
By the way, I’d fire you for that spout.
Good point.
How many conservatives does Obama have in his administration?
Its just political affirmative action.
Defense contractors should simply draw up lists of everyone with Obama bumper stickers on their cars in the parking lot.
“I believe that this falls under Utah being an “employment at will” state.”

You two are indeed correct.
My home state of Michigan (heavily union as you well know) just became a right to work state.
Got my thoughts mixed up. Thank you for pointing this out to me. ;-)
