[April Lexington]

This civil service abuse happens in every state where Republican governors are elected. We spent most of our time trying to out maneuver the leftist staff. They spent most of their time trying to get their allies in the newspapers to destroy us as appointees. The only successful Republican governors are the “go along to get along” moderates. It is almost impossible for many blue states to ever expect freedom from leftist influence. The left has owned the civil “service” since the 1960’s.

Yup. Some drastic changes are going to have to be made in this regard, even at the state and local levels. Our state, TN, just had a revolutionary election. With an incoming GOP legislative majority for the first time since 1869, we’ll now be able to oust Democrat hacks occupying the statewide jobs, take control of every county election commission, change the election of judges, etc. As long as the Democrats controlled the legislature, their key source of power, and gerrymandered for years to prevent a GOP takeover (despite the fact the state has voted majority/plurality for Republican legislative candidates for 14 years), they controlled the state regardless of the party affiliation of the Governor. The Democrats (and their media propaganda arm) are now panic-stricken that we’re going to be getting rid of their hacks from top to bottom and begging US not to act in a partisan manner. 140 years, since Ulysses Grant’s election, they’ve kept their jackboot on our throats. It’s payback time.
