From 1996 to 2009, I was employed as a government contractor in numerous government departments - Department of the Navy, State Department, Homeland Security, Department of Defense - and from 2009 until my retirement from government service, I worked for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It was dismaying to see so many military and civilian personnel tow and promote the liberal line. One time - while working at the Joint Chiefs of Staff - I was told to be quiet, that what I was saying was too offensive and radical. I was talking and quoting from the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. I was standing behind a flag officer who at the time was the Director of the Joint Staff at the McDonalds at the Pentaton as he ordered in Spanish, to the non-American Spanish speaking cashier. I could go on and on. The vast majority of those that work for the Federal government are leftists, liberals, whatever. They are not patriots.
