Home Front: Culture Wars
The Age of Obama
2013-07-01
h/t Instapundit
...what does Obama get in return for his push for big government? A government that loves him back. Unlike the financial, insurance and real-estate industries that have been fickle about him — showering him with hosannas and cash in 2008, while offering a relative trickle of support in 2012—Obama remains the living end for government workers.

IRS employees donated to Obama over Romney by a 4-to-1 margin, IRS attorneys favored Obama by 20-to-1, and government lawyers at the National Labor Relations Board and the Department of Education shut out the Romney campaign completely. The federal bureaucracy had effectively lined up against nearly half the country.

#4   Governor Tarkin: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away forever.

General Tagge: But that's impossible! How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?

Governor Tarkin: The regional governors Czars and the bureaucracy will now have direct control over their territories domains.

Latin dominium, property, from dominus, lord

#3  Meanwhile, the White House press secretary dissembles daily; the intelligence community appears incapable of delivering a complete and truthful answer to Congress

They too, are silently "showering him with hosannas". The wars must eventually end [if only for a while]. It's all about budgets and market share. Notice how seldom intelligence community officials testifying before congress mentioned EO-12333 ? The American people have become market share.

It is for the children---just not our children.

But it's for our own good!
