Tolerance, Maplewood style: DPW employee fired for anti-liberal Facebook post

In the People's Republic of Maplewood, New Jersey the only permissible thoughts are progressive thoughts. So when DPW employee Sam Falcetano Jr. took to Facebook with comments exposing liberal hypocrisy he was immediately sacked, and publicly shamed.

Clean up after themselves? What did he think Maplewoodstock was, a Tea Party rally?

It's a wonder he wasn't shot for heresy.

"Without question, the township finds this individual's comments to be appalling and not in anyway representative of the beliefs, policies or practices of the Township of Maplewood," DeLuca said, reading from a prepared statement at the start of Tuesday's Township Committee meeting. He continued, "The township will continue to embrace and promote an inclusive and welcoming community."

"Inclusive and welcoming," unless you're a Conservative. Then they ride you out of town on a rail. This is of course the essence of Liberal Fascism — Groupthink is mandatory; violators will be purged.

Next time Mr. Falcetano, take care to use vulgarity only when comparing Sarah Palin to a part of the female anatomy. And if you're going to condemn homosexuality, you have to do it in the context of upholding Sharia Law; this is known as the Islamic Free Pass, and liberals would prefer that we not talk about it too much lest their hypocrisy shine through again.

Now I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but it seems to me that the First Amendment protects free speech from governmental sanction. Expressing an unpopular opinion ought not be grounds for losing one's government job. Unless the intent is to impose conformity. Which come to think of it, is precisely what liberals want the government to do.
