Worse Than Scrooge: Gladney’s Brother and Public Advocate Fired by St. Louis County Hours Before Christmas
by Larry O'ConnorAs bad as Ebenezer Scrooge was, at least he didn’t fire Bob Cratchit right before Christmas. I can’t say the same for the St. Louis Dept of Health. Animal Control Officer, Keith Gladney was fired on December 23rd, less than 48 hours before Christmas Day.
Regular readers of Big Government will recognize the sur name of this unfortunate soul who finds himself unemployed just as the holidays are upon us. Yes, Keith Gladney is the brother of Kenneth Gladney, the man who was assaulted by leaders of the St. Louis SEIU outside of Rep. Russ Carnahan’s Town Hall for Health Care on August 6, 2009.
Considering the fact that government work seems to be the only growth industry in this economy Keith probably thought he was in a stable job, serving diligently for the Animal Control agency, a division of the St. Louis Dept. of Health. And, considering he was just given a positive job performance rating as recently as October, it must have come as a heartbreaking shock to learn of this Dickensian turn of events just he was preparing for his Christmas.
So, what changed between September and today? What could have been the reason for Mr. Gladney’s termination?
Could it be that Mr. Gladney was outspoken in his support for his brother?
That he called on the County Prosecuting Attorney to bring justice to his family for the assault that had been captured on video and detailed in a 23-page police report?
Is it a coincidence that the same Prosecuting Attorney that Keith called out in his statement is also one of the highest ranking officials in the government structure that Keith worked for?
Kenneth Gladney
Is it surprising to learn that the Department of Health (the department that oversees the operations of Keith’s agency) works very closely with SEIU Local 1 on County Health related issues and policies?
And why now? Of all times? If they really wanted to punish Keith for his statements in favor of his brother’s case, why wait until now?
Is it a coincidence that this happens hours after the Senate finally got Pres. Obama’s Health Care Scheme passed through the Senate cloture vote and on its way to final ratification?
Could it be that the power structure in the county was waiting for the cloture vote so as to act from a position of political safety with no potential negative repercussions?
These are questions many of us have been asking each other since we heard this sad and disturbing news. Rest assured that Big Government is gathering much information regarding the stated reasons for Gladney’s termination and the facts involved with his job performance. We plan to answer all of these questions in the coming days.
But, for now. All that matters is that a man is suddenly out of work right before Christmas Day. Please, now more than ever, keep the Gladney family in your prayers and let us all hope that 2010 shows them real justice and, dare I say… hope?

It will officially start tomorrow after the vote. St Louis is just jumping the gun a little. I feel ill.

Keep investigating. And we'll keep reading.
This is one of the many reasons why I know the SEIU is NOT about people but about power.
I'm so very sorry for Keith Gladney and his family. I hope they still have a merry Christmas.
Leftwing vermin are the lowest form of life.
It is deplorable/
After the vote tomorrow, the Democtat machine will feel invincible. It will be all out trench warfare, and there is nothing decent, civilized folk can do, short of armed innsurrection to stop them. We are on a precipice, and the alternatives are few, those available, are bleak, but I still personally believe that America is worth fighting, and dying for. I wonder if Harry Reid, Madame Pelosi, Chris Dodd, Bwaney Fwank and Borat Obama feel as strongly as I do?
How long will it take the St. Louis media(Post Disgrace) to report on this?
There’s a special place in hell, …and we’ll help our leftist brethren to their special place, starting in 2010. Good read Stage Right, …I mean Larry!
I smell lawsuits on the way…..
Awww maybe someone in St. Louis find him a better job?? And how's Kenneth doing?
I don't think they do or they wouldn't be doing their damnedest to turn it into their own version of the Soviet Union.
ST. Louis Tea Partiers, what say you?
i'm not at all surprised. this is how this chicago thug gang does business. but, you know what? this likely will turn out just fine for mr gladney. i know that may sound sick and twisted, but i would be very, very surprised if some local conservative-types don't find some work for him there. i'm an optimist. i believe that good things happen to good people.
the left are selling their soul for power, and will reap what they sow.
As difficult as government employers often are, for good reason, to pull the trigger, Mr. Gladney's firing is indeed striking. At this moment there are an untold number of government employees still taking in taxpayer money despite horrendous performance and/or having committed terrible acts.
I am curious for the reason given at his termination.
Oh no they "di'int"…
Lawyer up and start discovery ASAP, even a letter saying your going to sue and asking them to preserve all documents electronic or otherwise blah blah blah to the HR for his job will cover him.
Google it, plenty of form discovery letters that would work
OFF TOPIC BUT IMPORTANT: the link to this story (where you click on the title and it goes from the main page to the story only) is giving a fake virus warning. I had this happen to my own website and it means someone has hacked biggovernment and put in this fake warning. Not sure whom to tell or how to report it.
There should be, I hope he gets an attorney to send a discovery and intent to sue letter asap
Same here, in my State there have been employees that have committed adultry using government buildings/vehicles while on the job, stolen material, used state vehicles for personal trips out of state etc.
Aal manner of other things that would get you canned from most union jobs and yet they are still collecting checks.
Getting fired from a Government job is pretty hard, and they rarely lay people off (and never in onesies)
Where, when and how can I donate to the Keith Gladney defense or to just keep his head above water.
Let us know. We can't let these sorry basses (without the "b" do this to good people.
I suggested some time ago that Kenneth Gladney should persue a civil law suit against those who injured him. Is this not possible? Has anything happened since then? Looks like Keith could do the same.
Worse than Scrooge….I hope Keith and his family perservere through this…..we should be able to do something to help them
Yes sir, something good will come of it, I hate to say it, it's an awfully unjust situation and blatant at that, but the silver lining occurred to me as well. Hopefully some locals will network with him and at the very least, he isn't stuck under their thumb. Chances are good the city is broke and who knows how much work was left for him regardless. Also, personally it might be a good time to gtfo of Illinois while he at it, I understand it's probably home but then theirs your sanity and quality of life to consider.
Best wishes to Gladney an his.
So much for help from the union, disgusting.
Welcome to the Banana Republic of the United States….
and where is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton now??……oh yeah, up Barry's you know what!!!!!!
Again…another reminder that the left, unions, congress and president are out of control and they are taking pride in being so openly corrupt. This shit used to go on behind closed doors. Now they plan how to steal America and the money of the American people behind closed doors. NO SHAME! Didn't Reid just call for coming together and showing respect?
There MUST be something we can do as a nation to stop this all these animals!!!!!! Where are all the Constitutional lawyers?????
Too bad Jay Nixon is governor; a realignment needs to take place quickly or there will be many more Kenneth & Keith stories acrosss AmeriKa. Keith, you, Kenneth, and your families are in our prayers.
He can always sue his assailants in civil court. I'm sure that he has lawyered up, and he has time for that suit. Each state sets a time frame and the conditions for civil filings. He should have at least a year to file.
fired him then the SEIU will beat him up.
It is an old saw that predators run for their dinner, while prey run for their lives. The progressives are the predators.
Notice how quickly the NAACP has sprung to his defense?
More south-side-of-Chicago style thuggery courtesy of the Obama administration and it's toadies. Remember, none of this occurs without at least tacit approval of Washington. Thank the Lord for the 2nd Amendment!
Did Reid say that before or after Sheldon Whitehouse labled us all as Aryan supporters?
Lock and load baby!!!!!
Something we can do NOW:
Eliminate the taxes you have withdrawn from your paycheck. The government won't be able to use that money from now till April 15th. And if you're not chicken like I was last April 15th, you can NOT pay those taxes when due.
Join in the January 20th protest. Don't go to work, school or wherever. Don't drive anywhere. Don't use the phone, TV or Internet. Don't buy ANYTHING. Stay home and read, sleep or play games/talk with your family.
Join your local Tea Party and actually do something to change politics as usual.
Email, call, fax or visit the media and their editors (TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, etc.). There seems to be a weakening of the Obama messiah worship in some, let's exploit it.
By MAIL cancel your subscription to your local MSM propaganda rag. Tell them why. Note who their advertisers are and send a few of the bigger ones a copy of your cancellation letter (be sure to cc these advertisers on your letter). Tell these advertisers you will not patronize them any longer because they are supporting political propaganda which you object to.
Consider running for local office.
I'm with you cowboy
2nd amendment is on the list, count on it.
Democrats are criminal commie traitors…………….Obamie is the worst. Atlas has Shrugged.
Looks like 1776 is about here.
I think allot of us are going to be in the same situation before long. We just dont have our heads in the right socialist place. A time is coming when the people will fear speaking out against the Dem Machine.
I am sorry for Mr. Gladney, he has the right to speak his mind and support his brother, as we all would. This is from the political party that is for the little guy, thats what they would like us to believe.
This stuff stinks of Hitler and Stalin…..God help us all !
What we have here…is the failure to communicate !
Maybe it's time the SEIU thugs start ending up in the hospital.
No wonder the noose knot goes just behind the left ear. Pull the lanyard and rejoice. Next!
And yet once more, the putrid stench passed off as "Law Enforcement' enables this swill. Santa knows where to put the lumps of coal.."Law Enforcement" is NOT your friend.
The problem with us using force at this point is that it would just play into the Socialists hands and speed up totalitarian control. The day will come that we may have to fight in the streets but for now, and hopefully that day will never come, we must refrain.
I for one, welcome the new American Revolution.
"It's historical" don't cha know.
Letters…e-mails…phone calls…protests…the shaking of fists…sticking to the facts and talking "truth to power"…pleading…begging our reps. on bended knee…threatening overwhelming expulsions of the socialist elite in future elections, mean nothing to these a**holes.
You fill in the blanks patriots.
See you on the green.
Not Over.
If someone contacts you about "helping," please let me know. I would like to help too. I met his brother at the San Antonio Tea Party. Quite a guy. Ed Williams ehwilli34@yahoo.com

Save your ammunition and use your brains. Your wisdom is your power when arming against fools. We have seen in the polls and in congress democrats switching parties. Nothing kills a good party any faster than someone waving a gun. We have only just begun.
I believe this is our future…..(part 1)
———————————————————————————————————————————————-11.April.1943
Esteemed Party Member Hoffmann!
I have received the petition for clemency you sent on 17.3.1943, and which was signed by both your brothers concerning the student Alexander Schmorell.
I find it a very decent thing that you, as long-time members of the Party, wish to intercede on behalf of your sister and your brother-in-law. For that reason, I am terribly sorry to have to tell you that I cannot support any such pardon. I would gladly let you have a look into the investigation files, so that you could also see that the reprehensible deeds of Alexander Schmorell, which assuredly can be traced back, in large part, to the Russian part of his blood, have earned him a fitting punishment.
Part 2——————————
At a time when thousands of worthy German people are putting their lives on the line for the Fatherland, it would be irresponsible not to carry out the the fullness of the death penalty. It is possible for there to be a singular unworthy person in any family – however, it is then necessary that this person be eliminated from the family and greater community.
Heil Hitler!

H. Himmler

God help us all !
The war has begun…. and we, the people, will finish it, and finish them; once and for all.
Merry Christmas, Keith, Kenneth, and your families. And may God bless you.
We, the people, will see to it you are taken care of.
Larry, please continue to update us on the status of the Gladneys, and where and how we may donate to the welfare of these brave patriots.
How awful. Such evil and meaness these people are. Is there anyway we can help Kenneth?
Here is a wonderful man. These are the kind of people we need.
http://video.foxnews.com/12769300/jon-huntsman
Definitely be looking for more news on the Gladney family.
Somehow I doubt a bloody revolution is going to be necessary. When Democrats have friends like these, why would they need an enemy?
The smell is so foul, that no sane thinking person could tolerate it for any stretch. There's plenty of true believers, partisans and kool aide drinkers, they do command legions of the ill informed follower type, but they do not have the courage of their convictions, which we do.
I think so many people are so startled at what's transpired, and that without knowing all the seedy little anecdotes we feast upon here at BG, that there is a significant opportunity for seriously reigning these maniacs in. It's important that our more passionate fellows do their best to mercilessly cling to a principled civility. It's fine to keep your rifle ready, but your best bet is keeping it discrete and particularly so of late. Why on earth would you willingly cede high ground?
Remember the momentum BO and company rode into office? Well that's been halted. The heavy lifting has nearly been done for us by our counterparts. All we need to do is stick the point, and maintain credibility and present plausible alternatives. Hell we could promise free real estate on the moon and it would look moderate compared to what's going on.
I'm sure that the SEIU will, in their march for justice, fight to get this man's job back. After all, they exist to help the workers of the world. Pardon me, I seem to have lost my way. Can you tell me what planet this is.
All these politicians involved in this are showing that they are all run by Stern and his group form SEIU, with that in mind the reality of the people doing this should be felt by their families. If you want to put the pressure on them make their families suffer as the brothers are now, do it in a legal way and make them want to do the right thing. I’m sure that there are some in that state that would like to see the right thing done and make their state show better in the eyes of America. Right now they all look like they are run by SEIU and that they only want to hold the rest of the people up for their money. Put the pressure on the SEIU people, and all that support them, force them out of the state.
Agreed. There are a lot of people there, some of them must have a shred of conscience left.
Rhetorical, right?
Why do I have this deep seated feeling that when this health care scheme passes there is going to be a major call to arms for Americans? Kenneth and Kieth hold your heads high you do have people who support you.
Ha ha ha!
Forever and a day!
Same here! This is still America, damnit!
Yes, our founding fathers have already set the example for us. Don't get me wrong, revolution or armed rebellion sounds crazy in this day and age, especially in America, but we are dealing with animals who espouse the maoist rhetoric of "Power comes from the barrel of a gun".
True Gary, but the clock is ticking and when does time run out?
Yes, HG, but the tables CAN be turned, especially if the 'prey' is cornered and is fighting for it's life!
Send Lawyers , Guns and $, the Sh*t is going to hit the fan, sooner or later, just sayin'….
Unfortunately I think this is just the beginning. Just wait until they have their iron grip on your pulse via Obamacare. Speak out at a teaparty – oh sorry your insurance was just cancelled – and you ahve to wait until the enrollment period to re-apply.
DITTO!!
True, discretion is the better part of valor, but when push comes to shove….
I'd caution anyone about getting violent, or insinuating that violence is justified here or elsewhere, it's only going to work against you and for them, and draws attention to the issue. Principled and civil objection to the situation is key, lest we add plausibility to the notion that we're somehow the fringe in this dance, a notion I object to strenuously. The vast majority of people will not be willing to support such an insurrection and it's too easily suppressed along with solidifying the caricature of conservatives and libertarians.
Also, folks won't get behind a damn thing unless their comfort is removed. People are still comfortable. Kill the lights and shorten up the food supply and see how fast people want this shit sorted properly.
Recall Chris "tingle up my leg" Mathews desperately straining to paint the founder of the Oath Keepers as some sort of militant nut with firearms, and how he defused that falsehood civily by reminding Chris that he was inverting the facts and that the Oath Keepers idea for disobedience was to stand down, not take up arms.
I pray you're correct, sir. But remember, we are probably a minority in this country when it comes down to risking creature comforts in the name of liberty.
That, my friend is going to be a tough call. If we wait too long the country will be lost, if we act too quickly we loose it all too. I do believe that if and when it starts it has to be quick, the whole thing at one time, no small stuff bilding up. That is we will need to act quick and decisively.
Are we witnessing the beginning stages of big government mafia style? With already murky waters, the line between the Obama administration and special interest groups (in this instance, SEIU) continues to fade. Like cancer, this corrupt activity requires early detection and swift treatment. Call them out when you see it and where you see it. Otherwise, we will be referring to the SEIU and similar groups as KGB. Corruption stems from an immoral foundation:

Hang in there Gladney family. Alot of people are on your side and keeping an eye on this story. I pray 2010 brings justice to those that have harmed you and your brother. God Bless.
The KKK would treat honest conservative black folks better then the Democratic party does.
When the time comes for us to pick up arms, many of us will be more than ready. I do not feel we are even close to that yet.
Our efforts will be better spent getting like minded people registered and TO THE POLLS next November. It's not too late folks, we can make good things happen if we get involved politically. Attending a TEA party is noce, but that won't do it.
Voting is nice, but that alone won't do it. Folks who post here are likely voters, and it is likely that you voted against all this garbage last November. What will work is getting like minded unlikely voters to turn into Definitive Voters
Nothing that happens with these people surprises me anymore.
I feel more and more like this every day:

Just wait until they are in charge of health care and find your account here, on twitter or face book. No health care for you!
Snip "I wonder if Harry Reid, Madame Pelosi, Chris Dodd, Bwaney Fwank and Borat Obama feel as strongly as I do?"
No they think Americorp and SEIU can handle a put down, LOL, good luck to them if it comes to that.
Well, there are about 100 million armed Americans.

Barry "I"bama is the worst president EVER! Please get this CLOWN out of office… IMPEACH is the word for the day children!
Lawyer up and fight!
Thanks lori, I was wondering why this hasn't already been a prime topic. Truly shows that Jesse and Al are afraid the SEIU. What a shame!!
Where's the media on this obvious farce..? Why do we allow these " officials " to intimidate from anonymity..? The " good ole' boy " network is alive and well in St Louis…
It may be time to rise up against these SEIU buffoons nationally.
Kenneth and Kieth, you are in our prayers. Remember, things happen for a reason, there will be divine intervention in this.
Yes Gary, God help us all, and with Him, all can be overcome!
It's times like this that are so hard to not to wish ill on some. Keep the faith, Mr. Gladney.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Peace, and Merry Christmas to all.
My God says to forgive and pray for my enemies. I'll have alot of praying to do this Christmas.
Why does this surprise anyone, democrats alway do this stuff.
Exactly my thought: we must fight harder, because it isn't about money or food, it's about existence.
Bwahah…. oh wait, you didn't mean that as a joke, did you?
I expect this to make the St. Louis Media … oh, say uhm…. well, uhm…
I could see Dana Loesch going off on this (Hopefully?!?) on her radio show… PLEASE DANA? I Know you're a contributor here… at least get the ball rolling?
And thus it begins
2nd Amendment, ROCK ON!
I have to echo this sentiment. We have to keep our heads and stand on our convictions as long as possible without playing into the hands of the left.
The time may come when armed resistance is required, but I certainly pray that time never materializes.
(As an aside…love the screen name…Eddings was a favorite of mine for many, many years. He will be missed.)
I think it's time to Lock and Load
Oh and MERRY CHRISTMAS
I am so mad that these SEIU thugs get to go home 3 hours early for Christmas Eve (and still get paid) while this poor man loses his job the same week Jesus was born over 2000 years ago! Un-f*******-believable! Why did Barack Obama fire him??? Doesn't he know this man's relative was beat down by SEIU thugs??? Transitivity.
All I can say is OATH KEEPERS check it out
We need everybody
Cowboy,
I strongly share your belief, America is worth fighting and dying for. These treasonous idiots have no idea how many of us feel this strongly, it will be their undoing I'm sure. These folks have lost the concept that the Federal Govt. serves as an agent for the States (people) and not the other way around. I venture to say not one of these losers has even read the Constitution.
Mr. Gladney has become an unwitting victim of the traitors of the left. I hope he and his family can somehow enjoy the holidays. I hope that some of the decent people of St. Louis will then rise in outrage to rectify this injustice.
St. Louis = Little Chicago. Congradulations, you are now slaves to crooked democrats and union thugs.
That just points out the difference between liberals and conservatives yet again. We conservatives will do what we can out of Christian charity to help out the Gladneys. The left will keep people suffering to use them as examples of a) (if something bad happens to a liberal) what can happen to you if you're a victim of the right, or b) (if something bad happens to a conservative) what can happen to you if you oppose the left, as if you're a victim of your own making. In any event, the left seems to relish in people's suffering.
People that find this, and the health care bill, and global warming, and Chicago style politics, disgusting need to take action. The only way this liberal, socialist, corrupt train is going to be turned around is if rational people run for office and regain control of our country. It's got to be a grass roots effort, ironically, of hope and change, back to the pricicples that made this country the greatest on Earth. Run for local office, or volunteer to help campaign for someone of like mind. There needs to be an upwelling of protest to what is undermining the foundation of our country. It's time to stop our whining and take action.
indeed! the left Needs suffering.. it Needs unrest.. it Needs crisis.. it Needs hopelessness. These are some of the ingredients needed to advance their agenda. the last thing they want is for the people to be self-sufficient. for them, rugged individualism IS the enemy.
Agreed! WE are their enemy, even though the way we see it, we merely disagree (sometimes strongly) with their programs and policies. They view us as the enemy just because we oppose them – a very black and white view, even though they're supposed to be the "nuanced" ones. And the point I first made is already apparent – there are numerous comments below offering to help the Gladneys.
This is our future. The Statist will pick us out one by one, and make examples of us. I am sure that we are being monitored right now. In the news last week, Obama hired a high level Internet Geek. Yahoo, Google, Microsoft will sell us out. They did it to dissident bloggers in China. They will do it to us.
We have to revolt, and make a strong statement. Work stoppage. Apply for every govt. stipend you can think of. Bury the system. They ignore us, they disdain us. They think we're trivial.
Yeah crop-damnit! I can't believe that I'M GOING TO BE SUCKLING FROM THE TEAT OF MY TAX DOLLAR (oh yeah, and all of your tax dollars too, thanks guys!), GETTING PAID, AT HOME, DOING NO WORK, FOR OVER 3 HOURS TODAY! CROWP-DAERNMIT! So no matter how much you all hate me, you're still paying me! For doing nothing!
Congladuration!
Isn't that a blues song? "Socialist Train A-Comin'"? Yeah, take the bull(Scheisse) by the horns and run for office! Darnit, we gotta protest before evolution wipes us all out!

I am sure that once the health care travesty goes through, people with CCW will be found inelligable for coverage.
Yeah, the St. Louis Pravda-Dispatch will report on this right about the same time that BHO finally comes clean and produces his Kenyan birth certificate!
Guarantee you that Bob McCulloch, the St. Louis County prosecutor, he of "Obama Truth Squad" infamy, was involved in this. What a scumbag…
LMAO!!! You SEIU thugs make me sick to the point of vomit! I'm actually vomitting right now out of my pure hatred for your thuggish agenda of helping people who are LESS fortunate than you. And then, you get off work early while the few conservatives (and the overflow of moderates) have to work hard guessing which stocks will go up and down. Haven't you heard of overpopulation????? And on that note, don't use the crop's name in vain.
If you didn't know, Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton only assist if a family asks them to directly. . . And what are you sending the Gladney family for Christmas?
ROFL @ "the crop's name in vain"…yeah all these moderates flying all over this site make me SICK!!! My agenda is not thuggery, sir, its going home to literally do drugs while all these idiots are paying me! MERRY XMAS HO HO HO!
I'm down, this country is phenomenal and breathtaking along withe the true Americans that believe in the values and principles that built this country. Bring it on, I will die for this country, not sure Obama's national secuirty forces UN peacekeeping batons will kill me : )
So much for the all loving left.
Big deal, there are millions of people out of work, and many cities will be laying people off. You can't fight wars and give tax breaks to the rich without going bankrupt. This is exactly what the conservatives planned to do. They willingly bankrupted this nation to weaken the government so their Corporate sponsors could ride roughshod over the people. They busted the unions and sent our jobs over seas. I don't approve of the Democrats but it was the Republicans that have tried to destroy America.
No we don't think you are trivial. Just dangerously stupid.
Yes he can bring government claim and sue under 42 USC section 1983 for deprivation of civil rights. And, he can directly sue the government officials under that Act. Left has been using the tactic for years. Go see all the suits against Ashcroft.
I do believe the vast majority of Americans do not and will not support this. They are somnambulent now and MSM is largely to blame. Truth is the universal solvent. Keep getting the truth out and this will turn.
You got it! My local supprt would be wasted where I live. I would support any worthy candidate anywhere to change this. If you know of any, pass info along.
Keep an eye on Iran. They are on the verge of overthrowing an incredibly evil, violant depotic regime. We are simply facing the Grand Ayatollah Obama. we can turn this around without violence and more easily (and faster) than they ever could in Iran.
How's that kool-aid, Mr Evans? Taste a little acidic?
Not that the Republicans have shown any conservative convictions since about 1998, except in foreign affairs. But the dems have been taken over by the hard left, and are now bent on establishing the thousand-year Reich. The Republicans have just been going along for the ride. Read a little history. It's amazing what you can learn from the past.
Did everyone miss the point ? What was Alexander Schmorell's crime ? He was executed along with his fellow conspirators for speaking out against the Nazis.
Kenneth's brother must be a white man. Where's the left's "RASCISM" outcry. It's unfortunate that that term is becoming a handball in modern society. It only seems to get used when it fits their conversation. Get well soon Kenneth and Keith give them all the h3ll they can take. God bless you both.
Mr. Evans,
Seems like the large corporations are all falling all over themselves in their rush to line up for government sponsored monopoly powers, as example: GE, the insurance companies, the big pharmas, manufacturing companies, and the energy companies as well. They all want the government to regulate competition for them…hmmm…what's that called? You know, the word that liberals are always throwing around, oh yes, Fascism.
Bush's deficits are no larger than the thirty year average. The deficits after the Dem Congress and Obama are 4 times as large and growing. You really might want to read a little bit further than Daily Kos and you might realize that conservatives do not view large corporations or large government kindly. Also, you might consider that the reason jobs head over seas is that the unions drive them there. I worked in a car company and know first hand how heavy handed the UAW has been and is.
Dear Santa, Please remove seiu and every other liberal from the world
Assholes! How much more of this crap are we going to take? It is past time that we stand up and take back our country from these thugs !
What's the matter John? Does this threaten you? Should I be more compliant?

Jesse is prob writing another check to his love child's mother. What a respectable man of the cloth! They are both race pimps and make me sick.
It does sound crazy and I pray it does not come to that but I am ready if it happens.
Me too. Just post it or reply and I will contribute.
Yesterday China sentenced a critic of the communist system to 11 years in prison. Today a small region in America fired an employee 2 days before Chrstmas for speaking out in support of his brother who was beaten for no reason by union thugs from SEIU. The two systems of government are inching closer together. Where are all the well-intentioned folks who were crying tears of joy when Zero was elected? In one case you get what you get without a chance to vote and in the other you get exactly what you foolishly did vote for. No wonder Mao was added to the WH Christmas tree. Our country is circling the drain. Keep the ammo dry, ma….we might need it.
Please stay on top of this story and PUSH it till Mr Gladney returns to his job, and gets back pay! These Leninist idiots can't be allowed to intimidate-physically or otherwise! (True to their gangster roots they come after your family!) Shine a light on these thieves and don't turn it off! Maybe the D.A. and Mr Gladney's supervisor need to get some phone calls or visits on Christmas!
Another fuddy duddy to be sent to lockup for violating the henchmen's trust, way to go libs.
If it happens that the military doesn't step in to remove the people who have sworn to protect and uphold the Constitution, that will be the moment when time has run out. What will be the trigger for such an event? I don't know, but it will be crystal clear at the time it happens.
Moderate voters need to decide if they want Liberty or Tyranny.
So far Moderates have voted for tyranny and they need to step away from their unwise choice.
MODERATES, DO THE RIGHT THING AND STAND UP FOR LIBERTY FOR A CHANGE!!!!!!!
St.Louis city goverment has been corupt for ever and guess who's keeps being elected? DEMOCRATS
WAKe up people time for A REAL CHANGE.
IntenseDebate Notification <DIV>I don't know, friend. What I do know is how sick and twisted it is that the bho administration has tried to obsruct that very instance of which you speak, in Honduras. Very shocking the way Marxist/Facist feel so emboldened when they come to power by such a slim majority where the opposing side was also splintered into differing camps.God Bless, Merry christmas</DIV> <DIV style=\”FONT: 10pt arial\”>
Dump it on a Friday, just before a holiday, or when some bigger news is happening – maybe no one will notice.
If the bast-ards fired me they would be answering to the devil himself.
Only now do I understand the inexplicable nonprosecution of the SEIU anti-free-speech thugs who beat up Kenneth Gladney while calling him the n-word for his constitutionally-protected activity: the prosecutor in charge is politically connected to the SEIU. This calls for a special prosecutor in the matter of the state criminal charges, and an investigation into the circumstances of the Keith Gladney retaliatory firing. Civil suits must be filed for both Gladneys in federal court, and pursued zealously. In the meantime I would appreciate information on how to help the Gladney family through private donations.
I know many who work in unions because they have to in order to work and they all say pretty much the same thing; Unions work hard to protect those that don't do their job and will willingly toss a good member who does do their job under the bus.
And too Sheila, what have you given the Gladney's this Christmas? We here, are working on giving Keith and Kenneth's families hope. When word gets out about this injustice, decent people will create a metaphoric bonfire of the vanities for St L. and their SEIU croniesThe Gladney family appear to be good citizens who aren't looking for trouble, as the others who contact Jackson and Sharpton are.
Also, protect the polling places and mistrust computer voting machines ( they can be rigged too easily).
[...] Keith protesting the inaction of the prosecutor and the county government, and rewarded by being fired from his county job in apparent retaliation. And, for maximum punishment value, he is fired just before [...]

This "shut up" is called "The Chicago Shffle."
Don't try to get a permit or anything done by the municipality if you don't toe the line in Chicago.
Now they're exporting the tactics.
Well, were there 70,000 riots in China last year. The populations are stirring all over the world. China. Iran. Er, uh … Whose next? Oh, "The Tea Parties," which are peaceful. But these are generally older folks. Where are the disenchanted youth ousted from colleges by excessive costs and curtailment of grants? Where are the unemployed youth? Goldang it, when the revenooers come to git YOUR still, that's when you'll fit 'em?
You can't have a jobless recovery. Since repression of the population takes manpower (East Germany had 10% of its population occupied keeping the other 90% in line), the State will need to employ more people. And what better capacity than in the state security apparatus. Just induct the club wielding New Black Panthers and the SEIU folks and others into the state apparatus and pay them with public funds. Brown Shirts become uniformed Stasi, er … police.
Let's let these people have it.
Publish who the BOSS was that fired him.
And their Bosss and their Boss.
Let's see where the Hammer Begins as we already know the Sychle ended on
Keith's Neck. Expose the Hate & Hypochrisy of the LEFT.
It is so diappointing as the County prosecutor is a Graduat eof Saint Lois U. high.
mcCulloch is such a disappontment to his Alma Mater and his family. the Hate
of the Left is saddening to say the least.
its the acorn/seiu way of getting even thru govt cronies – look out America, the obozo thugs are on the rampage against America
I live in the Mo. Ozarks and as far as we are concerned down here, St Louis is nothing but a shithole that ought to be shoved in the Mississippi River an sent right down to that crooked bunch in New Orleans.
We hafta put up with the nasty st louis people down here at the lake all summer long.
Lawsuit anyone?
What was the basis for the dismissal. Since governments usually use seniority as the criterion for layoffs, and it seems that this man is probably senior (speculation of course), then it seems that even if the power to dismiss were discretionary, this was an abuse of discretion and actionable.
This is an opportunity to publicize the circumstances and amass political capital. Where are the lawyers?
I think the St. Louis County Missouri Health Department and Prosecutor's office needs to have a watch dog group looking over their shoulder to make sure they play nice. Anyone who is a member of SEIU should tear up your membership cards. Who would want the shame of being a member of that Union. There are other fine unions who would be willing to take you folks on!!
I'm with you cowboy.
Served two combat tours (Iraq '03, Afghanistan '04) in the Marine Corps…count me in Cowboy Logic. After all, I'm apart of that awful group of "extremists" (i.e. military veterans) that Napolotano warned everyone about!
[...] Gladney was fired from his job as a St. Louis County (Mo.) Animal Control Officer, according to a BigGovernment.com article published the same day. Why is his firing important? Because, as you’ll see in reviewing [...]
I had always respected Bob McCulloch and Charlie Dooley, well until now. Now that few of Westfal's staff remain in Dooley's office, he is showing himself to be yet another northside political hack emulating the Clay's.
Tyrannical folk first + always are most interested in their own bacon . Tho act like they really care about U R's ! …..They're only posers+vainly insecure under REAL duress. Our example said, "I am the good sheperd, the good -sheperd gives His life for the sheep!!!! Mt. man
Still waiting on an update of this stupid story, dumbies
