Politics and "Death Threat" Double Standards

This morning while having breakfast, I found myself in my usual multitasking mode and was reviewing the news to see what damage our illustrious dear leader, the chosen one was doing. Okay, unilaterally giving up American military superiority to the Russians again. I don't know whether to learn more Russian or continue with Chinese.

Anyway, as I bounced around from story to story, AOL news had a story about a San Francisco man named Gregory Giusti, 48, who was arrested for (get this folks) "allegedly making dozens of threatening phone calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over health care reform."

The FBI would not comment on the charges because they were under seal, but again this brings up another example of "double standards" when compared to actions against those who made WORSE comments against former President George W. Bush which often went unquestioned, un-arrested, and unpunished and what is happening today when people use their First Amendment right to criticize the members of the Regime in Washington.

I would like to be clear that I do not believe that it is proper to threaten to kill anyone but law enforcement has a duty and obligation to take ALL threats against ALL of our leaders EQUALLY! The way to take care of politicians who don't do what we believe is correct is at the ballot box, and believe me the next few elections must bring about a large changeover for America to go back to it's former glory and moral values.

You know, my "real job" is in a Federal Agency and since I am an appointed uniformed federal officer, most of my peers may be surprised to hear that I also have law enforcement authority. It's part of the job. I bring this up because I also took an oath when I received my federal appointment. The same oath every federal law enforcement officer and federal employee takes. That oath requires me to protect and defend The Constitution of the United States. Did you catch that? The CONSTITUTION -- Not a President, nor a Party!

Do you guys at the FBI, Secret Service, et al... get that? The CONSTITUTION! Not the Bama, not the Bush. Do your jobs fairly and even handedly. Apparently the lefties in those organizations take action when they feel threatened so you righties had better start when it happens against our guys. Remember that history tells us that most wacky actions are taken by the left, and not the right.

This brings up another concern which may be related. A few months back, we had a service talk and we were told that under the Hatch Act, we were not "allowed to discuss politics in the workplace." It would not be tolerated and "violators" would face disciplinary action. Well, I'm don't take kindly to stupidity and actually looked up the Hatch Act and guess what? Nothing in it prohibits what we were told that it did. It says I cannot discuss politics with civilians I come into contact with in an official capacity, or use my position of authority to influence their voting decisions, or run for a political office if it involves a "partisan" stance. Nothing in Hatch prohibits political speech in the workplace. In my opinion, this was a blatant attempt by the Regime to silence opposition speech within the ranks of the federal workforce. That's how it starts.

I still talk politics at work and don't fear retribution. Why? Because I have a copy of the Hatch Act in my desk should I "face discipline" however that would be bad because I would consider legal action against the government for infringing upon my Constitutionally protected right to speak against the government when it does things I believe to be wrong.

Don't you begin to fear either. That's what the Regime wants. Look at Venezuela.
