re HUD atrocities
Agreed
But there are still the people maimed and killed by the DEA agents and their like. Abridgement of free speech plus many others.
I have two Bovard books. I'm amazed he isnt harrassed too (of course maybe he is!)

My uncle recently resigned from HUD...a pretty high ranking position, too. He headed up the Emergency Coordination group. He quit because Billary thoroughly politicized the whole department. He was not given the maximum increase in pay (despite a stellar record of work and attendance), because he didn't engage in "approved" extracurricular activities (gay/lesbian alliance, planned parenthood, etc.). When he claimed he was active outside work in the Pro-Life movement, it was frowned upon.
He was sued by an assistant for sexual harassment - though nothing had happened, except for that assistant's continually late arrivals and constant sick days.
The final straw was when the department was building a day care center, and the Gay/Lesbian alliance was drawn upon to approve the final design. As my uncle said...most of them don't have kids...why ask them? When he asked why parents weren't consulted, he was told that it wasn't his business...or some politically correct excuse was used....

I could go further with descriptions of the former head of HUD, but I am unable to due to certain binding agreements I currently have with my former place of work.
