A while back, I stood up for a Democrat who was leaving comments on Stacey Campfield’s blog and he was getting ready to be outed for doing so while working for the state.

Under the new rules of the Democrat minority regime, I see that all bets are off and that everyone who has the myriad Democrat commenters leaving leftwing hate speech on their conservative websites during the work day While On Our Dime ™ need to be outed and fired immediately.

Amen, brother. And don’t forget, Brian, that if you are a politician like Barack Obama and say that you bowl like you’re in the Special Olympics, or if you’re the spiritual advisor of our President and blame “them Jews” for causing distance between the two, the rules of political correctness do not apply.

If I were them, I’d start narrowly focusing the firing offenses to just this instance this one time.

Because if everybody on the Right pulled their logs and found all the Democrats working for the TNEA, the Police and Sheriff’s Departments, the TBOR, the schools, the staffers in the legislature, etc. – we wouldn’t have a budget problem anymore.

Right on, right on…

Nice turnabout, TF. I’m glad someone had the stones to put this manufactured controversy in perspective. Me, I don’t have time. I’m watching the Tennis Channel, which my lovely wife ordered me for father’s day.

Now you’re on to something, Terry. I once called out a state employee who was lobbying for the state budget on an education list. I noticed they were using their state email and so I asked if they were speaking in their official capacity as a state employee or as a private citizen and if as a private citizen why they were illegally using their state email. They were obviously miffed and started posting from their personal account in the evening. I see state email addresses all over the ‘net. I’m paying these folks to work…not surf and push their agendas on taxpayer dimes.

Simple answer to the problem of government employees wasting millions of hours browsing and commenting on the I-net. Filter it with a product like Websense or turn it off at the firewall.

Private companies have addressed the issue that way. Those governments or companies who don’t see the need risk ending up in the headlines trying to defend the indefensible.

Yes, Kay, you are right. And POGO has the answer.

It’s a problem locally, too. I know our County Mayor used to have a system in place where no sites could be accessed unless they were related to the business of government. My understanding was that was in place until they went over to a new service.

I know over at Horne Radio Network we received a press release faxed from the Mayor’s office, but it was about a church service not related in any form or manner to the office of the City Mayor.

[...] computers then we can solve our budget crisis this month with all the layoffs and it will be the Democrats who infest our government jobs that will bear the brunt of The People’s Budget Windfall.  Better yet, let’s expand this to state employees who [...]

no wonder why Democrats and extremist Muslims are getting along so well and protect each other . They have something in common. They do not like cartoons
