The Washington Post on Sunday published an excerpt from an upcoming book foreword by the late Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) in which the congressman hails America’s civil servants.
In the excerpt, from Cummings’ foreword to “In Defense of Public Service: How 22 Million Government Workers Will Save Our Republic,” by Cedric L. Alexander, Cummings described his experience as chair of the House Oversight Committee, which oversees federal workers.
“When people in the leadership of the nation attack our courts, the members of our Congress, our civil servants and our media, they are attacking the glue that holds our diverse nation together as the United States of America,” Cummings wrote.
“And when these attackers do so on the basis of factually unfounded opinion, rather than verifiable evidence, they are engaged in demagoguery of the most dangerous sort. This is why our civil service, committed to maintaining the rule of law and decision-making based on verifiable facts, is so important to maintaining the legitimacy of our government, both elected and appointed,” he adds.

Proof It is possible to never have held a job and reap the benefits from the American People.
Putz. Just waiting for his crooked wife to take his seat
Good. Let his final word be a dumbass mixed metaphor. “Attacking glue?” Needed a literate editor. RIP you tyrannical POS
“He governs best, wbo governs least”
The insight of a retard with the arrogance of punk gang member.
more government = less freedom
Lordy, that is one deep slosh of leftist piffle.
The vast majority of those workers don't even know America is a Constitutional Republic. They think America is a Democracy.
How are they to save that which they don't even recognize?
And it also gives proof that he was lying through his teeth every time he called America a democracy as well.
Watch five of Elijah Cummings’s most powerful speeches
Just one of many instances.
History will record that Elijah Cummings was the only Democrat congressman the President could trust prior to the operation.
Needs to be less than 10 million workers. 100% of them need to totally fund their own health care and retirement plans.This elite class of workers get deluxe benefits that the average American can only dream of.
The State is the nation, the people are just to fund it and obey.
The bag man for billions for MD and Baltimore the capital port of graft... from long before Spiro Agnew, or even Pelosi D’Alessandro’s dad— the Mayor or her just dead brother, yet another mayor, keeping the BLM machine of guilt money funding the druggies. All in the name of “civil rights”. Lot’s of black folks could tell you about what that means in Baltimore, even as cumming’s young squeeze wife thinks she inherits a Barony of the War on Poverty. LBJ lives.
And cummings has the... what is it— to describe an “attack on our courts” which he was PARTICIPATING IN! Disgusting typical Reconstruction Freedman’s Bureau type plantation democrat. Truly.
They are employees, not workers. Most of them perform no work at all.
Government workers are not civil nor servants.
Government workers pay comes from real money earners.
Government workers are leaches of American society. They are the true welfare class. They produce nothing of value. They don’t contribute to the economy. Good riddance to Cummings. May his grifter wife spend the rest of her thieving life behind bars. Stinking rats. The lot of them.
Save us from what? Liberty? Spending our own money? Thank God for the Trump curse and one less collectivist pig .
When an unaccountable, uncontrollable bureaucracy becomes powerful, then you no longer have a republic, you have an oligarchy in charge. Those oligarchs pursue their own agenda, for their own personal benefit. That is just another name for tyranny.
"Washington Post Apologizes For ‘Substantial’ Plagiarism In Two Stories"
If they weren’t corrupt.
How ridiculous. Obviously the newly departed never went to a Social Security office. Government Affirmative Action hires waiting listlessly on dozens of other parasites who are attempting to qualify for disability. There is nothing noble about it.
