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."

A couple of years ago I began clicking onto news sites with comments in places like Coeur d'Alene, and Sand Point in Idaho, Kalispell, MT and others and the insurgence of nasty liberals is obvious. They are never satisfied and they give up forcing their values on others while at the same time accusing everyone else of doing that to them.
These two employees who got fired are most likely California transplants. California Liberals F-up their own state, don't like the results, then move to another conservative state to wreak the same havoc.That, in a nutshell is what happened TO California.
The East Coast liberals migrated here for the taxpayer subsidized education, good jobs and good weather.
In effect , they’ve fired us, so we should fire them.
I like this trend, I must say, and I hope it’s got legs.
A vote for Obama is a direct affront to your small business employer, and a double insult, since you’re implicitly demanding that even while he’s putting up with more burdensome profit-consuming regulations, he’s got to keep paying YOU, YOU who VOTED for all this.
People of any political persuasion are laid off or let go in hard times anyway, for nothing other than this profit reason
(they’re either not producing enough to make it worthwhile for the employer to keep them on, or they’re OK workers but the employer just isn’t getting the contracts,etc.)
So I don’t think getting fired because you voted for Obama
is or can be challenged at all. What can they do, pass a new civil rights law, or make it a hate crime?

“Defense contractors should simply draw up lists of everyone with Obama bumper stickers on their cars in the parking lot.”
Or GPS coordinates. HeHe........Just kidding.
I think that the other reason is they were instigating strife with an in your face union attitude.
My standard response to that foolishness is now always the same. "When everybody is poor, no one is poor, right?"
We regularly have breakfast with a group, many of which are “proud Democrats” and surely Obama voters. They’re already fussing about “that mess in Washington”. I’m sure the grousing about “our kids are losing their jobs and can’t find any” and “everything’s getting so high” and “blah, blah, blah”. It will be hard to resist the temptation to say “tough, proud Democrat”. (If the buffet at the restaurant goes up fifty cents, you’d think they’d been robbed; just wait until it goes up five dollars!) They wanted him; now they got him!

I agree with both of you. I think that's a great idea to read local comments from newssites around the country to get a feel for what type of people might be populating that area. These Socialists are doing the same thing to the Southeast. Now they're infecting southern Utah in places like St. George, Cedar City, and other areas around Washington County.
What really makes me sick, is California has the infrastructure to support many types of industries like hi-tech, agriculture, automobile, shipping etc., but the progressives, through the EPA and other Marxist type agencies have strangled growth in that great state!
Liberals and Unions have also destroyed the once great City of Detroit.
Maybe if we're lucky, they'll eventually all move out of places like California, Washington State, Oregon, New York and other places, and Conservatism can reclaim these states. I can dream can't I? ;-)
This story seems very familiar to me. Right down to the wording of what he posted. I think I saw it in a discussion on FR before the election. I think that discussion had the decision being made based on bumper stickers in the parking lot. There, too, the 0bamabots were independent contractors. Ring any bells with anybody? Just wondering if Mr. Lee posted his statement for laughs or if he really did it. While I’m in Utah, I don’t know him so have no way to judge. I support his actions if he did it the way he said.
So you don't believe an employer has the right to choose who they employ and pay their hard earned dollars to?
Who's not a conservative or a thinking American here?
We're supposed to be about freedom, and if they have the freedom to try and destroy our country people should be free to fire their sorry @sses.
I suppose that makes me not a Conservative or a thinking American then.
Does this mean they get a 99 week paid vacation?
Yeah I dont like this. Their performance should be the ultimate decider of fate. But very stupid for admitting his reasoning. In real life you can be fired for anything though.
I would never fire a good employee for being an Obama supporter. Then again, I can’t imagine an Obama supporter would ever be a good employee. These two were probably looking to get unemployment compensation anyway. The businessman did them a favor.
“I hope more get the same message.”
We did.
We intentionally hired a liberal, Prius-driving Dumocrap who loved obama. We intentionally fired him right after the election but we did not do it saying “we are letting you go because we hate obama”. Our legal guys told us to be crafty when letting him go..
Never hire a liberal. They have to pay for what they did to the country.
That’s the ticket. Make em’ pay. We cleaned house in December and fired the Odumbo supporters. Unlike this clown who stated in the open they were obama supporters, he should have done so quietly like we did.
Stolen!
I’d be skeptical about giving a guy (who doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut) my business! I mean, it’s improvident to broadcast your bias, if your in business. That’s just common sense!
