The Perfect Storm of Liberalism
American Spectator ^ | April 24, 2012 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 04/24/2012 5:23:06 AM PDT by reaganaut1

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?

Thank you for responding.

Carrier routes usually aren't that well defined such that you have a white or a black neighborhood.

Oh... I think the amount of white only neighborhoods is a myth amongst the general public, and actually limited to communities of liberals, Democrats, and the ruling elite.

What identifies a neighborhood is the culture of crime that it either allows or doesn't.

Unfortunately, there is a large culture of crime rampant in the US. Starting with the President and going down to street thugs of all races and various nations.

For instance, there are 'gated' MUSLIM communities in the US, where I would not want to deliver the mail. Not that they would even let an American in, especially YOUR postman.

Apartment buildings are “GATED” ~ and some have supplemental fencing to separate street thugs from the residents.

Isn't that the point of this whole Zimmerman/Martin affair?
