According to the Democrats, if you are Republican male who is wealthy, it is a) because you benefitted from your parents’, grandparents’, great grandparents’, and the rest of your ancestors’ discrimination against minorities and against females and/or b) because you discriminate against minorities and against females.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Draft registration and gender discrimination – Brett Kepley (DIERSEN: Were you draft bait? I was draft bait 1966-1971. Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970. During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)

— Democrats, the rise of reparations and universalism – Sundiata Cha-Jua (DIERSEN: How much reparations do your critics/opponents want you to pay? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always wanted me to pay lots of reparations. They stress that I am a Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, married, childless, pet-less, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. They shout that the federal government grossly overpaid me and that my federal retirement benefits are much too generous. In my defense, my ancestors always lived in northeast Illinois, they all were Republicans, and they never had enough money to discriminate against anyone even if they wanted to.)

Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970.

During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— FBI’s Most Wanted: More Applicants for Special Agents Tight labor market has forced the bureau to double down on recruitment efforts; CEOs, physicists and school therapists are encouraged to apply – Aruna Viswanatha and Byron Tau (DIERSEN: GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Democrats run the federal government. Since the 1960s, to hire, to retain, and to promote young Democrat minorities and young females, the federal government has constantly lowered its hiring, retention, and promotion requirements and made them more subjective. For example, passing the CPA examination is no longer a requirement for many positions.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/fbis-most-wanted-more-applicants-for-special-agents-11551023975

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The FBI has thus far been able to maintain its hiring levels despite the slump, agency officials said. But there is also a growing recognition that the traditional enticement of FBI employment isn’t as strong as it once was. “The way that government recruits people is they give you more interesting work, particularly more interesting work at a more youthful point in your career,” said Michael German, a former FBI agent who is now a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice. But as competition for applicants has increased, more employers are offering qualified candidates attractive work opportunities—often at much higher pay levels than starting FBI salaries. Adding to the FBI’s recruitment challenge is a consistently high demand for new applicants in part because of the bureau’s mandatory retirements—agents are required to retire at 57, and can collect pensions after 20 years of service. The challenges have prompted the FBI to overhaul its entire recruiting process over the past six months, Mr. Sursi said. Recent changes include reducing applicants’ previous work requirements from three years to two; keeping in touch with applicants throughout the process to address concerns; reaching out to those who had started but never finished applications; and allowing applicants to continue an application process even if they don’t immediately meet fitness requirements—even offering training guidance to help applicants hit required strength and speed goals.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pay-for-Performance The Pay Agent also highlighted a common theme: Pay-for-Performance. This observation is also in the introduction of the Pay Agent Report: “[W]e believe in the need for fundamental reforms of the white-collar Federal pay system. We believe it is imperative to develop performance-sensitive compensation systems that will contribute to a Government that is more citizen-centered, results-oriented, and market-based. We need to empower Federal agencies to better manage, develop, and reward employees in order to better serve the American people.”)

I have not. One could argue that the longer that you have lived, the more places that you have lived, the more municipalities that you have worked in, the more employers that you have worked for, the more organizations that you have been active in, the more college degrees that you have earned, the more schools that you have attended, and the more attention that you pay to current government and political news and commentary, the less that you live have lived in a bubble. I have lived in Illinois for more than 70 years. I have lived in Wheaton for almost 41 years. I lived in Chicago full-time for 2 years and part-time for 2 years before that. I lived in University Park part-time for 2 years and full-time for 2 years before that. I lived in Crete for 24 years before that. I worked in Chicago, Harvey, Joliet, Chicago Heights, and Park Forest. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, for IRS for almost 9 years, for Firestone Stores for 2 1/2 years, for the Post Office for almost 3 years, and for S.S. Kresges for 1 1/2 years.

I was active in TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, and Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter. I have earned degrees from IIT, DePaul, Loyola, and NIU. I attended UIC. I graduated from Crete-Monee High School and from Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest. I attended Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete. I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor for 19 years.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/02/americans-remain-deeply-ambivalent-about-diversity/583123/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most Americans do not live in a totalizing bubble. They regularly encounter people of different races, ideologies, and religions. For the most part, they view these interactions as positive, or at least neutral. Yet according to a new study by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and The Atlantic, a significant minority of Americans do not live this way. They seldom or never meet people of another race. They dislike interacting with people who don’t share their political beliefs. And when they imagine the life they want for their children, they prize sameness, not difference. Education and geography seemed to make a big difference in how people think about these issues, and in some cases, so did age.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his first budget address, Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker plans to pitch an “austere” spending blueprint with no increase in the state income tax rate, a bump in education funding and revenue from business licenses to sell recreational marijuana. Pritzker told the Chicago Sun-Times he will also push for taxes on e-cigarettes and vaping, and for the legalization of sports betting to help bring in more immediate revenue. As for his plan to legalize recreational marijuana — which will take time to negotiate and pass in the Illinois General Assembly — the governor’s office said the budget is “banking some revenues,” from legalizing marijuana, “but just from the selling of the licenses.”)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— New GOP exec director – Bernard Schoenburg
https://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20190112/bernard-schoenburg-davis-votes-for-funding-on-agency-by-agency-basis
(FROM THE ARTICLE: ANTHONY SARROS, a Decatur native who has also lived in Springfield and is now in Chicago, is the new executive director of the Illinois Republican Party. Sarros, 28, went to Mount Zion High School and has a political science degree, with a minor in business, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His parents still live in Decatur. Sarros was political director of Gov. BRUCE RAUNER’S re-election campaign, and had earlier been political director of the state GOP, data director for the House Republican Organization, and field office manager on Rauner’s 2014 campaign. When LaHood first ran for Congress in special primary and general elections in 2015, Sarros was deputy campaign manager and field director. Before getting into politics, he worked in jobs including being assistant to the Midwest scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates. “In the wake of the 2018 election, Republicans have the opportunity to offer a stark contrast from the governing Democrats to the voters in Illinois,” Sarros said. “It will be a challenge.” Sarros took over for TRAVIS STERLING, who took a job as director of development at the American Principles Project. That Arlington, Virginia-based organization also has an executive director from Illinois — TERRY SCHILLING, son of and one-time campaign manager for former U.S. Rep. BOBBY SCHILLING, R-Colona.

— Lowering taxes at top of list for self-made man, mayoral candidate Wilson – Glenn Minnis (DIERSEN: Are you “self-made?” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would shout that I am not. They would shout that I was a lowly failed wage-earner 1964-1997 and I have been a lowly failed retiree since 1997.)
https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/511766880-lowering-taxes-at-top-of-list-for-self-made-man-mayoral-candidate-wilson
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Enter the 70-year-old Wilson, who is running for mayor of Chicago amid a field of candidates that seems to grow by the day. Wilson, a self-made millionaire businessman, said his greatest selling point is that he’s different from the career politicians now in the race. “I’m not running for a paycheck,” Wilson said, adding that he plans to use his own money to finance his campaign. “The truth is I’m running to help all the people of this city who still do need a paycheck to be able to make a better living.” A resident of Chicago since 1965, Wilson went from picking cotton during the Jim Crow era, making 20 cents an hour, to being one of the first black owners of a McDonald’s restaurant. He took a struggling location and turned it around within a year, earning top accolades including the Outstanding Store Award and Top Sales Performer. The restaurant’s performance led to Wilson owning several around Chicago.)

DAILY NATION
— How to keep your career moving forward – JAMES KAHONGEH (DIERSEN: What hindered your career from moving forward? For me, for a career in the private sector, it was my being draft bait until I was 22 years old in 1971 and Oldsmobile withdrawing a job offer in 1971 that I had accepted because it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. For me, for a career in the federal government, it was my avoiding the draft, my being a Republican, my complaining about political affiliation discrimination, my complaining about reverse discrimination, my complaining about age discrimination, and my becoming in 1988 an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged the federal government with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. For me, for careers in both the private sector and the federal government, it was my not having a degree from an Ivy League university, my not earning an MBA until I was 27, my not passing the CPA examination until I was 30, my not earning master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, my not passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination until I was 32, and my not becoming a licensed CPA until I was 32. For me, for careers in both the private sector and the federal government, because since the 1960s employers have been under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote minorities and females and because they have always been under tremendous pressure to hire veterans, it was my being a White male non-veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 57% of federal workers said the shutdown negatively impacted their life; 23% said they would need to borrow money or dip into their savings after one to two weeks without pay.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/aldermanic-candidate-files-4-million-defamation-suit-against-ctu/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The latest suit holds that Muir, a teacher at Nathan Hale Elementary School in the 13th Ward, used a CTU letterhead when she penned a note to ward residents accusing Krupa of cyberbullying and cyberstalking. “Mr. Krupa harassed and bullied me through breaching a school computer system and posting disturbing language and images that shocked me and my student,” Muir wrote in the letter, which implores residents not to vote for Krupa. “My sense of personal safety and security were violated, and this letter is part of my effort to hold him accountable for his behavior,” she wrote.)
— Democrats expect to send minimum wage bill to Pritzker Thursday — as GOP balks – Jerry Nowicki (DIERSEN: Did you ever work for the minimum wage? I did 1964-1966 washing dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School. If S.S. Kresges had to pay me $15/hour in today’s dollars back then, it probably would have hired an illegal instead of me. If you had earned $15/hour in today’s dollars when you were young, what would you have done with that money? I did not start earning $15/hour in today’s dollars until I was 18 in September of 1966. I earned far less than $15/hour in today’s dollars when I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; and cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966. If had earned $15/hour in today’s dollars 1962-1966, I probably would have bought a new loaded 1966 Pontiac GTO in 1966 instead of the new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint that I bought. What job requirements did you have to meet before you first earned $15/hour in today’s dollars? Job requirements that I had to meet in 1966 included: be a United States citizen, be 18 years old, have a high school diploma, pass an employment test, pass a physical examination, have a driver’s license, pass a truck driving test, pass a background investigation, and have a car to use to make deliveries with.)

— Navigating the Male-Female Work Relationship – Nicholas Kristof (DIERSEN: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, at one time or another, they assigned me to supervise virtually every female that they hired. Of course, to get rid of me, they hoped those females would charge me with sexual harassment or even worse things. During my last 4 years there, a female supervised me, and the 4 years before that, she supervised my supervisor.)

— Why ‘NBC Nightly News’ anchor Lester Holt is teaching teens about fact-checking – Nathan Bomey (DIERSEN: What are your qualifications to be a fact checker? While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325, I increasingly worked as a referencer, that is, as a fact checker. That work required assuring the accuracy and support for each and every word, number, table, graph, chart, conclusion, opinion, and recommendation in GAO reports. I worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880. My other fact checking qualifications include my becoming a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981, and a CPA in 1979.)

— How Big Must Your Nest Egg Be? – Glenn Ruffenach
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-big-must-your-nest-egg-be-11549854421
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Example: You determine that you need $70,000 a year to meet your expenses and pay taxes. And let’s say you receive $30,000 a year from Social Security and a small pension. If we subtract the latter total from the former, we end up with $40,000 in residual living expenses—those that aren’t covered by guaranteed sources of income. Knowing that figure can help you calculate how large your nest egg should be. Mr. Bernstein recommends that most people should plan to save for about 25 years of RLE. (Which is a reasonable number if you retire at or near age 65, since most financial planners would urge you to assume a life expectancy of 90, if not longer.) To continue our example above, we multiply $40,000 (again, your annual shortfall) by 25 years. That gives us a target of $1 million for your nest egg. That’s how much you would need to save before retiring. The math, of course, isn’t a guarantee of retirement success, Mr. Bernstein notes, but “at least gives you a decent shot at it.”)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH A BIG COLOR PICTURE AND A BIG BLACK AND WHITE PICTURE: Inside Bill Daley’s insurance exam scandal: Beers, an altered test and a passing grade – Todd Lighty (DIERSEN: If I sought a government office or a political office, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would stress that while I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, my scores were not that high.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/ct-met-bill-daley-insurance-test-20190207-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Bill Daley has passed the bar to practice law and cleared security checks to work in the White House. But when he tried to pass the state exam to sell insurance in Illinois as a young man, he faced failure, scandal and embarrassment. First, the youngest son of Mayor Richard J. Daley flunked. And when he passed on his second try, in 1973, the validity of the insurance test later was questioned amid allegations he received inside help. The evidence? An expert handwriting analysis and different inks pointed to two people filling in test answers. And then there was the colorful and damning account of the state employee who had administered the insurance tests and taken them home over the weekend. The worker described being paid a Sunday visit by Robert Wills, a recently fired colleague who took a particular interest in Bill Daley’s test. As the two drank beer, Wills noticed that Daley had not answered several questions. Wills, the worker testified, had a request: “I’d like to do a favor for a friend of mine and fill them in.” That friend, according to court records, was a close ally of the mayor. Bill Daley, who was not charged with wrongdoing, denied any involvement and kept his insurance license.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A coalition of progressive activists and big unions is upping the ante on the call for new revenue to finance help for lower-income Chicagoans, this time proposing not just a “LaSalle Street tax” on financial transactions and restoration of the employer “head tax” but a new city income tax on those who work or live in Chicago. With a swipe at “wealthy yuppies” and corporations who “don’t pay their fair share,” the group—which includes the Chicago Teachers Union and SEIU Healthcare Illinois—specifically wants a 3.5 percent tax on household income above $100,000 a year.)

— North headlines Lincoln Day dinner in Springfield – Steven Spearie

https://www.sj-r.com/news/20190206/north-headlines-lincoln-day-dinner
(FROM THE ARTICLE: NRA president says group has to double its strength to preserve Second Amendment. Retired Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North said Wednesday that the National Rifle Association has to “double our strength to preserve the Second Amendment” between now and the 2020 elections, in keynote remarks at the 115th annual Sangamon County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner at the Bank of Springfield Center. The 75-year-old North, who became president of the NRA last May, also said the “disarm America movement is the best-funded, most sophisticated assault on our American liberties in our history.” North claimed that an unnamed “unholy troika of tyrannical billionaires” was setting the Democrats’ “far-left socialist agenda.” “They’re using their vast fortunes to elect enough progressives to turn America into a disarmed socialist dystopia,” North said. “The hard left in America are socialists. They’re anti-freedom candidates for office. If they succeed in what they’re doing, our lives are going to be adversely affected forever.” The annual Lincoln Day event, the longest-running in the country, is a key fundraiser for the party organization. About 1,000 people attended. Illinois Republic Party chairman Tim Schneider didn’t shy away from the GOP’s showing last fall in Illinois. “We had a tough election in 2018, but Illinois Republicans aren’t ready to give up yet,” said Schneider, in remarks preceding North’s. “After J.B. Pritzker spent $171 million on his election, he still only got 54 percent of the vote. They don’t buy him, don’t buy his tax increases or his policies. Republicans will hold Pritzker and Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan “responsible for their actions in driving families, jobs and business out of (Illinois),” he said.)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/6/federal-employees-salaries-tens-thousands-make-mor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal employees are back on the job after the government shutdown — and many are doing pretty well for themselves, according to a new report that shows nearly 92,000 of them make salaries that match or exceed the governors of the states where they work. Some are in traditional high-pay occupations such as doctors. But the total also includes 18 painters, 22 welders and 25 pipefitters. More than 1,000 clerical workers in Alabama make at least $120,000, or about the same salary as Gov. Kay Ivey. In Ohio, 333 Ohio “transportation” workers, most of them air traffic controllers, make in the ballpark of Gov. Mike DeWine’s nearly $149,000 salary. And in Maryland, 3,561 federal workers made as much or more than Gov. Larry Hogan’s $170,000 salary. Most of them were doctors, dentists or public health workers, which is perhaps not surprising given that the National Institutes of Health is in Bethesda. But that doesn’t account for the 359 clerical employees, 66 accountants, 57 information-technology workers and 100 vocational trainers or school instructors who also cleared $170,000 or more a year, according to the Congressional Research Service, which compiled the data for lawmakers. The more than 91,000 workers nationwide who make as much or more than their governors is up 18 percent from the last time the CRS did a similar report, a decade ago.)

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/02/governor_northhams_honesty_.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was refreshing in this post-truth age for Governor Northam to reveal his genuine support for post-birth abortion. Compared to the outrage about the sophomoric racist photo in Northam’s old yearbook, the reaction to his permissive abortion stance was disappointingly subdued, although many on the left defended it. This same sentiment was reinforced at the State of the Union when the Dems sat down as the newest abortion laws were criticized. These opposite reactions have inadvertently confirmed that much of America has thoroughly embraced the postmodern philosophy of moral relativism where truth is whatever supports the left’s latest utopian vision.)

In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors knew how much my wife and I had saved for our retirement. That motivated them to force me to take their early retirement “offer.”)
https://www.mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/legislation-commission-suggested-to-address-retirement-crisis/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Leaders and witnesses at a Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing Wednesday had suggestions for addressing what the committee called “a retirement crisis” — the fact that most Americans may not have enough savings to cover their expenses when they stop working. “We are on the verge of a national crisis” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), chairman of the committee. The situation, she added, was brought on in part by employers changing from providing “defined benefit” plans such as pensions to offering “defined contribution” plans such as 401(k)s, putting the onus on workers to save. Other factors, Collins said, include more Americans working for small companies that don’t offer retirement savings plans and many older adults relying on Social Security to cover their monthly expenses in retirement.)

— How much further? – Michael J. Bahr, Springfield
https://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20190204/letter-how-much-further
(FROM THE LETTER: How much further will Illinois go to become the “most progressive state” on abortion, as Gov. J.B. Pritzker has declared? The Illinois governor was certainly proud to take the lead as most progressive by funding abortions using taxpayer dollars. Yet Pritzker was quickly overshadowed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who signed a bill allowing abortions up to nine months and removing other legal protections for the unborn. For this, Cuomo earned thunderous applause from the state’s legislative body, and even New York Cardinal Dolan is afraid to excommunicate Cuomo. Then Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam defended the killing of a child after the child was born that would have been allowed by a bill proposed in his state’s legislature, but then clarified his statement to indicate that he was talking about children who had been born with severe abnormalities or for reasons of the mother’s mental health in the 40th week, as if that makes it acceptable to kill any child that has been born. What will Gov. Pritzker do to maintain IL as the “most progressive state”? Infanticide up to 2 years old, for any reason? Abortion has always been about killing the infants. That should be obvious to all who have been watching these states try to “one-up” each other to become the most progressive. The good people of Illinois must stand up against this evil.)

Grynbaum (DIERSEN: With only the rarest of exceptions, everything in GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and on www.gopillinois.com is already in the public realm. Nevertheless, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout out of both sides of their crooked mouths both a) that no one reads my emails or visits my website and b) that everyone firsts learns of everything from my emails and from my website.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/04/us/politics/northam-fairfax-big-league-politics.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Big League Politics is a relatively new entry to the constellation of right-wing media outlets that sprung up during Donald Trump’s rise, and until the bombshell yearbook report, its readership had remained small. Patrick Howley, the editor in chief, said he received the photograph showing a pair of figures in blackface and Ku Klux Klan robes from a “concerned citizen,” declining to add more details. But one of Big League Politics’s owners, Noel Fritsch, described the source of the photograph as “some people who were classmates of Northam,” who brought it to light out of anger at the governor’s remarks early last week defending late-term abortions. In its mission statement, Big League Politics purports to be “not conservative” and “not liberal,” but it has trafficked in conspiracy theories favored by the far right, like the case of Seth Rich, the Democratic National Committee staff member whose murder in Washington was falsely seized on by conservative commentators as linked to WikiLeaks.)

— 3 Naperville-area school districts tell legislators they’d like input on such issues as length of class days and pension reform – Suzanne Baker
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-school-legislative-breakfast-st-0203-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Schuler said because of staff shortages, teachers often are asked to substitute internally or assume extra responsibilities as coaches or activity sponsors. Annual contractual raises for longtime teachers accompanied by the stipends from the added work can put teachers over the 3 percent threshold, causing a district to face penalties, he said. Districts can’t tell veteran teachers to stop taking on extra work because that would be age discrimination, and he said often school districts don’t know when teachers are retiring because they don’t give several years’ notice. The District 200 leader said he’s willing to sit down with legislators to help come up with a system in which districts aren’t penalized in those instances.)

— Rep. Davis hears Lincoln Home workers’ shutdown stories- Bernard Schoenburg (DIERSEN: What stories about you do/did your U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators what to hear from you? Because of the Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois decision, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my stories about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes promote patronage and political affiliation discrimination and reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html). My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. They knew that my wife had helped elect Jim Thompson. They were fully aware of the arguments that Thompson, Jim Edgar, and Lee Daniels made in Rutan that government employers should be allowed to engage in political affiliation discrimination.)
