Probable Cause
Federal government's biggest achievement...
Is it any wonder that the federal government’s biggest achievement is a well deserved reputation for being inefficient? At a time when federal employees are being abused by Washington’s elite who want us to single handedly balance the budget by freezing our pay and reducing our retirement benefits, along comes this month’s Golden Whistle Recipient. This person has only been with the agency for 12 years, but is constantly pestering us with his useless, frivolous, wasteful, tasteless, objectionable, and sometimes sexually harassing e-mails. If the government wants to cut wasteful spending, get rid of this position and the silly e-mails encouraging federal employees to “take this opportunity to learn more about the heritage and myriad cultures, experiences and backgrounds that make up the CBP family by talking with your co-workers.”
Oh yeah? Is that what we need? Let’s all stop what we’re doing and socialize with our co-workers. There’ll be none of this talk about stash houses, working CIs, press checks, or who takes the eyeball coming out of the hood. We’ll be busy discussing heritages and myriad cultures! Now that will increase efficiency!
I’d like to share an e-mail I received last summer from a fellow agent:
"On June 22, 2010, I was directed to “celebrate” Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month by watching a PowerPoint presentation and signing a paper that documented my viewing the presentation. I am offended by this material. We are not forced to do this for Black History Month, or Asian Pacific Islander Week. A toxic work environment has been created by forcing me to participate in this “celebration” of abominable lifestyles that violate the laws of nature, and my personal beliefs. Which violation do we celebrate next? A celebrate adultery month? Celebrate murder month? Celebrate pedophillia month? My right to a workplace free from sexual harassment has been violated
by having these unwanted, unsolicited sexual deviancy issues forced upon me. I don’t care if Rosie O’Donnel is gay or Ricky Martin likes little boys, That discussion has no bearing on my job and does not belong in the workplace. This PowerPoint I was forced to view is nothing more than homosexual indoctrination and I find it repulsive."
Our Golden Whistle Recipient recently sent us an email that included the following: “During the month of August there will be observances and events at various CBP locations designed to celebrate Family Heritage and Diversity Month. I encourage all CBP employees to attend and participate in the events and activities in your local areas.”
Sure, we’ll all just drop our case loads to go listen to the touchy-feelie crap. Yep, that will make our country safe. Why, the bad guys will be so impressed with our foresight and progressiveness that they’ll all just stop being bad guys. What a brilliant plan!
Just what does any of this nonsense have to do with our jobs? I don’t care what your culture, experience, or background is unless it relates directly to your job. Distracting us with Kum-bayaa sessions is a waste of the taxpayer’s money and taxpayer trust. I can describe three qualifications that I want to see in an agent. 1.) Can you think? 2.) Can you operate the equipment? 3.) Can you shoot straight if necessary? Family heritage sexual preference, or culture has absolutely nothing to do with any of the above requirements. I don’t know when we stopped being a law enforcement agency and became a promoter of sexual deviancy and other liberal slobber, but that crap has no business in the workplace. Indoctrinating new agents with left wing baloney about how diversification is what makes our agency successful is only going to get people killed.
