They have a Mayor that is out of control and hates the TEA Party too. He has fired 2 long time officers for no other apparent reason than the simple fact that they belong to the local TEA Party chapter.

so, you got friends both ways.

I am saying ALL govt workers should not be allowed to proselytize.

While they can have their own personal life-  they should not bring it on the job.

It is not clear what they wore to the event- and if it was personal time or paid time.

I agree.   The article might have provided better details.

Only 15 states out of 50 ban the firing of employees based on what employees do at home on their own time. We have bigger fish to fry. There is still 35 states that allow employers to come into your home and judge your eligibility of employment based on what you do for leisure activities when off the clock and off the employer's premises.

You know Pahunk, I would agree this is wrong.

But when the source of the story is Alex and Prison Planet then I'm going to call bullshit on it.

Let me know if you find a credible source to back this up.

Could be this is all a lie.

Could be this is part of the investigation as well.

Status: offline 		Tazz thank you for your intelligent discussion on this.

(yes- I am not being flippant)

No matter what the link- any story needs to be deconstructed- weather it is Alex or MSM.   Simply bashing the source does not impress me.   Arriving at what happened via a de-construct does impress me. 

We should never just blindly accept a media pronouncement.
