Comments on: Conservatives Don’t Rock the Boat In the Executive Branch http://pjmedia.com/blog/conservatives-dont-rock-the-boat-in-the-executive-branch/ Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:58:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jim Baker http://pjmedia.com/blog/conservatives-dont-rock-the-boat-in-the-executive-branch/#comment-352591 Jim Baker Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:22:39 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/?p=61908#comment-352591 Shef, That was a typical presumptuous hack job by a typical useful idiot, who has heard his echo so many times that he suffers unknowingly from his unwarrented superiority complex. To which of this myriad of voting laws do you object? I thought most of those were eliminated 50 years ago, but then, I was here. Get some help, smart guy. You need a real education. Shef,

Get over it. Maybe if you hadn't been up to your armpits in all those sleazy Deep-South voting laws designed to keep blacks from the polls, you'd have had an easier time with those eeeeeevil liberals.

RE: MUTINY, You Say, Mr. Christian!

A mutiny sounds like a good idea to me. — Maggie

Be prepared to shed ‘blood’, babe.

That is IF you have the ‘courage’ to ‘resist’.

But then again….

….unless you’re willing to give ‘everything’ for liberty….

….you don’t have what it ‘takes’ to establish and sustain it.

Pass a law to limit the employment contracts of all civil service employees to something like 10 years. Then give them a partial pension to supplement the retirement planning they do in their real careers. There isn't one government job that should take more than five years to learn completely, so the efficiency of experience is not a factor here. Okay, none of the gutless wonders in Washington will ever pass such a law. Also, none of the idiots we send to Washington are competent to manage the replacement hiring. I just remembered, these nincompoops will try to fix an economy by printing money so they can spend it, so how do we expect them to do anything right? Oh well, let me know when the shooting starts.

Depressing, but illuminating, to the extent that light can be emitted by gloom. It reminds me of what happened to Frank Gaffney when he was working on a film that was supposed to be aired on PBS, but whose message ran afoul of the prevailing wisdom. His personal inclinations made him into an alien in the most fundamental sense of the term, one who is deprived of linkage from those who would otherwise be his social peers, or at the minimum, his natural collaborators! All the devilish mechanisms described by Hans A. von Spakovsky may well be an inevitable consequence of prosperity. As it happens, the ancient Chinese character for "governement agent" clearly represents a fat man sitting under a roof, so the burden of officialdom has been chronicled before! The drastic measures required to roll back this massive runaway corruption may simply be impossible to even initiate in prosperous times. But prosperity is not to be taken for granted, and burdensome administration is not helping the prospects of economic vigor. Should things get dicey, the luxury of feeding the fat cats may well evaporate, and the notion of limited government may become appreciated again. I hope we don't have to wait until the economy crumbles to attack the weight bearing down on it. Excellent three-part piece!

The advantage of a successful revolution is that you can then go to these leftist bureaucrats and tell them that they are fired effective immediately. I would tell them that their entire pensions will go into the general fund to help remedy the damage they have done. /daydream A revolution can solve the problem if the new government realizes that current civil service work regs need to be scrapped and rewritten.
