I am often amused, and to be honest slightly irritated, by those around here that purport to be conservative...but think all kinds of people should be excluded from hireability. Felons, people with poor credit ratings, people who are out of shape, people who smoke, people who aren't Christian, people who suffer from depression or other mental disorders...you name it, I've seen it. There seem to be those who believe that only perfect people should ever be hired. (I've known some people who thought they were perfect, and frankly they make miserable co-workers.)

Now, if you are an employer, you are entitled to make up your own rules, but as a Conservative, I believe employing as many people as possible is FAR superior than making all imperfect people go on the public dole. Call me crazy. Frankly, if one commits a felony at some point in your life, I don't want to spend the rest of mine feeding you. Get a job. You know?
