AGK: America’s Gotta Know

Robin of Berkeley in the American Thinker writes an introspective piece on her gravitation to liberalism under false pretenses and recent movement away from that ideology after being “illuminated” by its true intentions. Robin nails the far left where they truly live and relates that Sarah Palin’s continuous and unabated verbal crucifixion by these people is exposing their true colors in a way they have never been before.

Please take the time to enjoy the journey of Robin from the bowels of liberalism to the illumination of conservatism…

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.

But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Theodore Roosevelt, 1907

Remember when George W. Bush was castigated by the mainstream media when he replaced several federal attorneys who happened to be Democrats (even though Bill Clinton did the same thing to 90+ federal attorneys at the beginning of his administration)? This practice is typical since federal attorneys are understood to be government employees who serve at the whim of the acting President.

Well, the Comrade Obama Administration is taking this many steps further. Their recently instituted policy opens the door for them to terminate any Republican appointed to a civil service position within the last 5 years (the period which NOT coincidentally, begins with the end of George W. Bush’s first term as President). Looks like Obama is clearing the way in the civil service realm the same way he is everywhere else… to be politically uncontested for every statist policy that he institutes.

Here are the details per RedState.com…
