I find it abhorent the number of people here that are consistently inconsistent. You hate big government. You want rights protected under the BoR. You want personal responsibility. You want a reduction in government entitlements. Then, quicker than you can say States Rights, you want to throw out personal responsibility and have big government come in and grant and protect a new entitlement to someone. I don't get it.
There is no right anywhere, in any document I've read that entitles anyone to a government job. Well, unless you live in Cuba. In fact, I've read that people are not entitled to government jobs.
Now here are the facts. This gentleman exercised his First Amendment rights. Good for him. He was not arrested, incarcerated, or otherwise prevented from exercising those rights. Good for the government. His employer, who just happened to be the state government, fired him. Good for his employer, bad for him.
There is no right or entitlement to a job. Sounds like everything worked to me.
