A "Freeptard" got fired today,
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 08:12 PM by American Renaissance
There is a woman who works at this company who is a single mother of two wonderful boys, she is a single mother because her husband was killed in a tragic accident several years ago.

Until today, there was a man who worked at this company, real bible thumping asshole.

There has been some difficulty schedualing a business trip because it has to wait for a time her parents can babysit her kids. In the middle of a heated discussion about schedualing of the said trip, mr.freeper blurted "this wouldn't be a problem if you were not a liberal slut, your husband could watch the kids", apprently unaware of the fact she was not a single mother by choice.

He was fired on the spot, and totally unapologetic when he was informed by the security guard throwing him out that she was a widow.

Edit: Oh yeah, he said something to the effect of "well if she went to church, she would have no problem finding someone to care for her children,"

oh well, if the economy is as great as he insists it is, I am sure he will find another job in no time.

And ofcourse he would have been fired no matter the circumstances of the said single mother.

1. You know the funny part?
He will likely get a "trial lawyer" and sue for wrongful termination.

13. the funny part
The funny part is he is probably posting a similar story on free republic, only she was a lesbian who had children who were stolen from a Christian family by UN storm troopers and the company was forcing him to go on a trip to a homosexual resort for sensitivity training.

16. she is okay,
she is pretty pissed off, but there had been bad blood between those two for a very long time. She is probably just happy to be rid of him.

18. I'm afraid that Bush's "mandate"
will be seen by all good "Christians" as a mandate for them to act like complete assholes.

7. Most of the Freepers at work are on the edge of being fired all the time
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 08:10 PM by Mr_Spock
They have such awful dispositions that nobody but other Freepers like them - very strange actually. One guy admitted to me one day "all the right-wing people are the stupidest people in the office". I laughed with my eyes - I cannot say anything more than that at work since I am in a position where ethics matter.

8. I love that name American Renaissance
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 08:11 PM by Turn CO Blue
very inspiring...as to what could come after the deeds and agenda of this administration are exposed.
The Renaissance came after a period of cultural, scientific and artistic oppression by the powerful and the Church - did it not?

9. Let the creep get eaten by rats on the streets. He is a pig.
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 08:11 PM by HypnoToad
This is an ideological war, provoked by them, and that cretin tried to hit below the belt, in an unprovoked attack.

Why are people so cruel like this?

10. Thanks for the story.
He sorely deserved his consequence.

I love your new name. Say it enough and it will come true - we will have an American Renaissance.

12. That's a beautiful story *sniff sniff*
I'm glad he found out she was a widow. It'll hit him when he's turned down for unemployment for being fired and has to wait in the welfare office to get his food stamps. And loses his home. And gets his ass totally kicked by creditors.

My brother's freeptard stance shifted quite substantially when I was diagnosed with cancer, with no job, no insurance, no assets. He is still a freep, but not so much about the health care anymore. Or the section 8, or SS Disability. Or food stamps.

14. People are mistaken if they believe this election gives them
the right to pull this crap. I fear we will see more and more of this. Freepers now think their moral values are the law of the land. violence against single women,gays and minorites are coming next

17. I just love those fine upstanding Christians
demonstrating the true meaning of Christian moral values. Jesus, I'm sure, would be so proud of this man's behavior. In losing his job, he has now become a martyr for Christ.

<heavy sarcasm>

20. I can only dream of the "glowing" reference he will receive from your
company, and by glowing I mean radioactive. That should surely ease his transition in the job market, and what a Great company you have to fire that scumbag right off.

22. no doubt,
The woman who runs this department is in her 60's and started at the time when the idea of a businesswoman was an oxymoron. So she has no patience with pigs and has apprently fired dozens of them over the years.

No doubt he will get a reference from some a dishonest person from his church who will fabricate him a job and work history.

21. This attitude is why I have sworn off church.
Yea what would Jesus do?

James 1:27 reads: “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

Damn, I hope she's doing OK after something like that. I'm glad that asshole got the boot. Too bad it didn't happen earlier.
