How successful have Democrats been promoting hatred against Republicans in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district? I should write a book about their success in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and Wheaton Warrenville School District 200.

FORBES
— Democrats say “Why Not Job Hopping Is Hurting Your Career.” Even though I suffered a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did everything that they could to get me to go back to IRS. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran. That motivated me a) to complete the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) to become a licensed CPA in 1981, d) to earn job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and to earn a job-related master’s degree from IIT in 1997. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits of IRS except 1986-1988. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They gave me bad job assignments and unfair performance expectations and appraisals. They assigned me to be supervised by, to work with, and supervise their most problematic employees. They ultimately forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I should write a book about the aforesaid. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

— Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly promote more and more and more mass/illegal immigration. Democrats want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINOs want illegals because RINOs want cheap labor.

RASMUSSEN REPORTS
— Age Issue Still Serious for Biden (COMMENT: It is OK to cite someone’s mental and physical health problems, but it is not OK to cite their age. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors would not have done the following if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. What they did is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. In 1973 when I turned 25, because they had not promoted me to GS-13, currently $109,732/year, my Democrat IRS superiors started citing my age and wrote me off as being too old to be promoted. In 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and did not promote me to GS-13 until I was 38 and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old even though I had a) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination and became a licensed CPA in 1981, e) earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and f) earned a job-related master’s degree in 1997.)

— Motivation and Activation: Why Do You Need Both? – Candida Fink M.D. (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. What do you do and what motivates you to do that? I put together and send out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning because the following do far too little to defend or advance the individual responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform: a) leaders of Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists.)
