— ‘Wait a minute now, you can’t stop dreaming’ – JOHN FOUNTAIN (DIERSEN: What dreams have you stopped dreaming and when? In 1969, when my Democrat Post Office superiors succeeded in forcing me to resign, I stopped dreaming about a career working for the Post Office. In 1971, when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint, I stopped dreaming about a career in the automotive industry. In 1975, when I my Democrat IRS superiors succeeded in getting rid of my mentor, I stopped dreaming about a successful career working for IRS. In 1987, when I my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in getting rid of my mentor, I stopped dreaming about a successful career working for GAO. In 1997, when I my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to retire and made it clear that they would forever stop me from getting a job appropriate for someone with my work experience, professional certifications, and professional license, I stopped dreaming about a successful post-GAO career.)
