If a job application included a question about religion, especially for
a government position, First Amendment advocates would rightly go
ballistic. The ire of Second Amendment activists is easily understood,
then, arising from the questionnaire prospective Obama administration
employees must complete. The 59th question demands to know whether the
applicant or anyone in his/her family owns a firearm, a sign of the hostility we expected to see towards gun owners from Barack Obama
Team Obama wants to proactively ensure that their applicants don’t break laws. Will we see questions like this?
- Do you have children? Please list proof that you haven’t beat or molested them.
- Do you have pets? Please list proof that you have them spayed or neutered.
- Do you have alcoholic beverages in your house? Please list proof that you’re not an alcoholic.
- Do you have satellite television service? Please list proof that you don’t buy pay-per-view porno or professional wrestling.
No, of course not, nor should we … well, perhaps except for the
professional wrestling question, but we’ll work on that later. Team
Obama isn’t interested in enforcing gun laws through job applications.
They don’t want gun owners working in the administration, and they’re
screening for that right up front.
Gun ownership is a constitutional right. Employment discrimination
on that basis should be illegal. It certainly should be exposed so
that we can get a sense of how the man who will swear to protect and
defend the Constitution plans on doing either for the entire Constitution.
Will a religious test come next in the Obama vetting process?
