The Perfect Storm of Liberalism has arrived.
A professional collapse inside the several departments and agencies of the United States government created by a decades-long erosion of standards. An erosion fed by all manner of deadly liberal obsessions from racial quotas to political correctness to an addiction to lawsuits, the tolerance for a culture of out of control spending, wildly improper personal behavior, and more.
This deadly combination is now surfacing repeatedly in scandals as seemingly different as those engulfing the Secret Service, the GSA, the U.S. military, the Department of Justice, and every other tentacle of the federal government imaginable.
Let's look at it liberal issue by liberal issue and examine how this perfect storm of liberalism is swamping the affected government department or agency in question.
Let's start with:
• Racial quotas and the Secret Service: An American Spectator source has fingered the hot-button issue of racial quotas as a serious problem for the Secret Service, an allegation now surfacing (hesitantly to be sure) in no less than the liberal Washington Post.
Did the Secret Service deliberately reduce its hiring standards to insure that minorities were hired and promoted in the name of racial quotas?
Ironically setting up the possibility that the personal security of America's first black president -- himself a decided liberal -- could have been breached with disastrous consequences?
Did this alleged lowering of the agency's standards wind up slowly infecting the agency across-the-board? Thus setting the stage for the explosive sex scandal that has led to the investigation of 12 Secret Service agents. Was the Cartagena scandal actually "fixed" -- "settled" -- until the Miami SAC got wind of what was happening on her turf -- when she blew the scandal wide open?

Ha. Want the best evidence?
Think about the postal workers when you were growing up, versus what you see today.
Worked for USPS several decades and POD before that ~ and over the years the QUALITY increased.
So, let's hear some details first ~
We don’t know who the SS guys are yet.
I remember when Obama was inaugurated there was a media story done on the secret service agent put in charge of his security. It was a black guy. The story focused on the fact that he was the first black agent put in charge of presidential security. I don’t know if he still has that billet, but I am a bit curious as to why he has been forgotten.
It was unusual for a feature story to be run on a presidential secret service detail to begin with. But now that all this has happened, where is the follow-up? Since the guy already made himself available to the media, why aren’t they pursuing him?
This article infers a lot. Is it true or not?
Maybe there should be racial quotas there as well to reduce the number of black athletes so that the NBA and NFL won't be embarrassed in the future. [sarc]
Wow! This article could certainly begin the DISCUSSION that Holder thinks everyone is afraid to participate in.
This is how fascism works. And everyone feels helpless to do anything about it...weellll guess what?
LEADERSHIP CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.( and if leadership fails, the people will have to do someting about it.)
Define the fascism, expose it and get rid of it.
Liberal fascism is our nations WORST enemy, and it is personified by Barrak Hussein Obama.
Good Read:

Then why do they keep losing my bill payments or delivering them 2 weeks late when it just across town?
The reality is your creditors have gotten into the habit of mailing as late in possible so they can churn the maximum opportunity for late payment fees. They've also dropped their address quality hygiene standards, and even farmed out their billing to people on the other side of the continent. You only think you are getting billed by people across town.
They have several other tricks that delay mail ~
You might send them a letter and find out what they are so that you can prepare for them.
Oh, yeah, and remember when they all eliminated the opportunity to PAY EARLY? That was so their actions to delay billing to generate late payment fees worked so well.
It’s a good article, but Mr. Lord somehow failed to mention the most blatant affirmative action hire: the Kenyan canine consumer occupying the Oval Office.
I have seen attempts at USPS Headquarters to impose "affirmative action" by promoting unqualified non-college educated women into jobs otherwise requiring a masters or doctors degree.
That usually lasts a few months ~ then somebody figures out the work still has to get done so you'll see those people shoveled off the path like last week's dirty snow.
And when the SS hires Malik Shabazz, Carney can say, “That’s preposterous! I personally know THREE Malik Shabazz’s”.
Bill Ayers? That’s ANOTHER Bill Ayers who spends a lot of time at the WH.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
I see it in college basketball coaching. Every college team has to have at least one black assistant, if not the head coach.
That's why they make so much money, right? Your "quality" company wouldn't even exist if taxpayers weren't forced to prop it up.
I don’t think this is so much a racial issue as an affirmative action issue. That is, it is not that there is an inherent difference between minorities and whites as to sexual self-control; rather, it is a question of whether the most qualified persons are in leadership positions or is affirmative action degrading both leadership and the confidence of those being led in the Secret Service.
The answer is simple - each of us must be held to the same standard, period. Academically, in our chosen professions and personal behavior whatever the result. Regardless of any other consideration.
Of course this will never happen - the grievance industry is big money.
I wonder whether they have racial quotas to determine who jumps in front of the President and shields him in the event of a disturbance.
During the Clinton years, the USPS began to give very preferential treatment to blacks — someothing not widely reported — and almost overnight, the force became heavily black.
I’ve seen a steady decline in service with the arrival of mostly black postal deliverers. They misdeliver something every single week. That NEVER used to happen. Plus, they often have a nasty attitude rather than an attitude they are here to serve the public. They walk across the lawn, for example, instead of following walkway.
So both the accuracy of service and the quality of the relationship between the USPS and its customers has deteriorated badly. This is the major reason I pay everything online. I can’t trust the bills to get to where they are supposed to go ontime.
You got that right, and they are only a duty belt away from being that force that Obama was talking about early on in his campaign.
True, and that will stop them from "balking" at the suggestion that the hotel insist they pay double occupancy as they check out. You know majority agents would be screaming to the world about that to the media.
Writer here — I know partial sentences can be dramatic if used SPARINGLY, but do not writers understand that subject + verb is the basic equation of a sentence? (Maybe it’s only me...). There are about 11 bits of sentences in this.
And bless all those in wheelchairs who didn't conform, and the dead who went postal.
Gee, you nailed that one....
Did the Secret Service deliberately reduce its hiring standards to insure that minorities were hired and promoted in the name of racial quotas?”
Rhetorical question, I think....
Women and gays also get affirmative action hiring by the Federales. The Federal Gov’t in Washington DC has tons of gays and lesbians....they luuuuuuv those useless Federale jobs in EPA, Department of Education, EEOC etc etc
No, I mail my bills on time. The post office fails to deliver mail across town in timely fashion, sometimes two weeks. Has nothing to do with my creditors or your snarky defense of the indefensible.
I'm no fan of the bloated, under-performing federal bureaucracy. But during part of my misguided young adulthood, I worked in a federal agency in Washington, DC. and served on many hiring “panels.” I never saw an explicit preference for women or gays. I did see preference for the disabled, sometimes to humorous effect (e.g., hiring someone with a speech impediment to be a telephone receptionist) and also for military veterans.
Their whole purpose is to generate late payment charges.
Just ask them why they mail so late.
I hope an investigation will look into ALL the USG agencies as there are many flagrant abuses of things like, unnecessary conferences being held in holiday type locations. One of the last items on most conference agendas is to vote on where the next conference will be held. I know, I worked for the USG for many years.
Thought you knew that.
Well, live and learn. Frankly, I'd like to take away DOOR DELIVERY and replace it with community cluster box service. Then you could cut across your own lawn and nobody would care.
Bwahahahahah!
Oh, and the black employees? The percentage was a tad higher BEFORE Bill Clinton. As you know seniority counts in USPS in the crafts, so the employees get to "bid" on the better carrier routes. As black employees began to achieve serious seniority (due to years of good performance and clean records) they bid on your neighborhood.
I know her name. She’s a supervisor. Probably beaten down doing entirely too many route evaluations in a single month. Tell her she needs to buy some more shoes.
That's been the case for nearly 40 years.

VOTE??
A vote in the government ~ ha ha ha ha ha ~ there's no voting in the government.
What a laugh.
we know one - the one who was on Sarah’s protection team.
Keep the quota to 12% just like in the general population.
Did the Secret Service deliberately reduce its hiring standards to insure that minorities were hired and promoted in the name of racial quotas?
In tests for any job whites must score at least 95% as for non whites they only need to score 65%.
Result: Hell Yes
It has absolutely NOTHING to do with me receiving my bills on time, which I usually do.
I don’t work for the Post Office; never have. I do think the Post Office has been reckless in offering benefits as rich as they do. However, I don’t blame individual employees for that.
They get away with that constantly.
If it's "RICH" that'd be a big surprise to me.
And that bad boy looks like a SKINHEAD!
So... what you are saying is that even 'blacks' know that 'white' neighborhoods are better and safer and would rather work there.
Aren't those 'blacks' being racist?
So, let's hear some details first ~
Alzheimer's, but that is speculation on my part.
It is impossible to send a gift in a card to my grand children because of thieves in the PS, something unheard of fifty years ago.
