GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Far too many get involved in Republican politics to get the Republican Party to strike planks from its platform, most commonly, its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. Further, far too many get involved in Republican politics to get more preference for those who share their demographics. To want to strike the aforesaid planks and to want more preference is not only to be anti-conservative, it is to be anti-Republican. My critics/opponents a) reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the aforesaid planks and b) want more preference for those who share their demographics. I should write about my critics/opponents. I could publish a spreadsheet that shows which planks they want stricken and what demographics they want more preference for. I would focus on a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders. – Dave Diersen

I met my outstanding wife at a social meeting for young adults at the Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago. She was raised as a Catholic and I was raised as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. We were both looking for a traditional marriage. Our marriage in 1978 helped me a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) afford to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, c) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, e) become a licensed CPA in 1981, and f) get promoted to GS-13 in 1986. Our marriage helped us a) buy a home in Wheaton and two new cars in 1978 and b) have a home built in Wheaton in 1984. Our marriage helped my wife earn a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

That is not surprising given my bad demographics and the many big adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had taken against me.

Of course, my Democrat GAO superiors in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted at my Black subordinates that I caused all their problems. But not only my Black subordinates, but also my subordinates who were non-White, female, younger, veteran, disabled, non-Protestant, non-German American, had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time, and/or had performance problems.

They used Gingrich budget cuts to justify the aforesaid. For course, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for PFP.

CORPORATE WELLNESS
— The concept of a linear career—steady upward progression within a single function, organization, or industry—is no longer the dominant model for many segments of the workforce. DD: Is/was your career linear? My career was not. To get promoted to GS-13, I had to transfer from IRS to GAO and take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $113,402/year, to GS-9 Step 9, currently $89,703/year, when I was 31 years old in 1980. I did not make GS-13, currently $118,984/year when I was 38 in 1986. But I would not have gotten that promotion if I had not a) earned an MBA when I was 27, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting when I was 31, d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt when I was 32, and e) became a licensed CPA when I was 32. I would not have gotten that promotion to GS-13 when I was 32 if the GAO manager who had arranged my transfer from IRS had not been finally able to assign me to audits of IRS and to promote me when I was 32. I would not have had to do the aforesaid to get promoted to GS-13 if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors overtly practiced political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

My father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother had no income because she stayed home and raised me and my brother. Her earning was limited by her never having attended high school. Consequently, I had to work my way through college. That harmed my GPA. I spent far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail instead of studying.
