As we’re entering the twilight years of the Obama administration, it’s time to begin thinking about the long-term effects of his “pen and phone” presidency, effects that will linger well after the next conservative president is sworn in.
During the Obama administration, we’ve learned two troubling facts about our government and the mainstream media that covers it.
First, the federal bureaucracy — with its career employees enjoying near-bulletproof job security — is far more partisan than many Americans realized. From the IRS to the National Park Service to the EPA to the DOJ to the FCC, it’s difficult to find a federal agency that hasn’t abused its power to accomplish leftist political goals, whether those goals are near-term (like the IRS suppressing the Tea Party in the 2012 election or the National Park Service inflicting maximum pain during the government shutdown) or more long-term and structural (like the EPA and DOJ’s “sue and settle” strategy for implementing new regulations through contrived lawsuits or the IRS’s attempt to limit the First Amendment through the regulatory process). To the extent that many leading federal employees walled off their political beliefs from their professional lives, that wall has now been breached.
Second, so long as the mainstream media agree with the bureaucracy’s preferred policy outcomes, it will give a free pass to the bureaucracy’s chosen political or legal methods. If the IRS had turned both barrels on the Occupy movement and leftist donors the same way it did the Tea Party and conservatives, there would be nothing “phony” about that scandal. The New York Times would be braying for impeachment after the first destroyed hard drive. But by its relative silence, the media have proven to us that it believes the ends justify the means.
These two facts taken together mean that the next conservative president should prepare to confront an executive branch that will likely engage in large-scale resistance to his or her preferred policies. Republican presidents have faced such challenges before, but with a bureaucracy empowered by the knowledge that it can — so far, at least — get away with large-scale conspiracies to deprive Americans of their civil rights with the tacit approval of the mainstream media and enthusiastic support of the far Left, expect many career employees of the executive branch to undermine a conservative president on an unprecedented scale.
We once had a president brave enough to fire unionized air traffic controllers.
We will need another strong person, willing to hurt the paper-pushers who fail to perform up to high standards of efficiency.
If we can weed out the lazy and incompetent federal workers maybe a lot of other problems will solve themselves.
Like the long waits at the VA.
Like the racism of the DOJ.
Like the lawfare of the EPA.
Like the political persecution of the IRS.
If the next is smart he or she will use it to their advantage to get things done much like Obama has bypassed the Congress.
I would imagine a chilling effect would be accomplished on such rogue behavior by left wing federal employees by the use of a DOJ that actually does its job. Send a few cocky bureaucrats to the slammer for infringing on the public’s rights and the rest of the lazy cowards will fall in line.

THIS IS AN ELECTION THAT AMERICA MUST WIN,
what would the world become without AMERICA,
The GOP has long ceased to be a conservative political party and, as such, has no intention of running such a nominee. This, and CINO George Bush’s nomination of Roberts, has effectively neutralized conservative political power in this country.
Our only recourse now is to vote with our wallets and our feet by not patronizing leftist business entities, and by “walking away” from the everyday leftist ideology that’s shoved in our faces (i.e. the media and other “bread and circus” forms of entertainment, etc, etc).
Placing our votes and hopes with the same old DemRino party of one will never accomplish anywhere near what we can with our wallets (which is why 0Muslim, and his DemRino cohorts, are doing everything the can to destroy our wealth (via Obama Care, the destruction of the private sector economy, and the criminal importation of chronically dependent 3rd world immigrants).
The bottom line here is that we can no longer simply “vote and hope” with any expectations of success.

YES, BECAUSE THEY PROMOTE DEFEATISTS, NOT SUCCESS,
NOT CREATION,
THERE WAS A TIME THAT THE IMMIGRANT WAS ASK WHAT HE CAN DO,
TO BE PART OF THE ONES MAKING JOBS, OR ADDING THEIR EXPERTISES TO AMERICAN BUSYNESS,
NOT ANYMORE,
YOU HAVE TO BE WITHOUT ALL ATTRIBUTS AND ILLEGALS,
TO GET IN AND ELLIGIBLE TO GET THE BENEFITS FREE OF SWEAT,
RUNNING DOWN YOUR FOREHEAD, BUT WILLING TO GIVE YOUR VOTE TO THE DEMOCRATS,
THAT ONLY WAS REQUIRED, TO PASS,
plus those partisan medias of one party and in power,
are contributing in the hate of the other party from their readers which is not even hidden now, well take note they are anti AMERICA, PROMOTING DIVISION OF THE PEOPLE
IN MANY GROUPS, ALL THINKING OF THEIR OWNSELF CENTER
IN ONE COUNTRY, HATING THE OTHER MULTIPLE SIDE, MANY ARE DIVIDED BECAUSE THEY DON’T AGGREE OF THAT KIND OF AMERICA, WHICH IS A NEW WAY, AND DESTRUCTIVE FOR
THIS AMERICA, LACK OF ALLEGIANCE FROM SO MANY CITIZENS IS NEFARIOUS, AND WAS DUE TO THOSE WHO FOLLOW THAT SOCIALIST MARXIST PLAN UN AMERICAN,
THE ONE WHO DISAGGREE ARE NOT IN TUNE WITH
FOLLOWING THEIR PLAN, WHICH PLAN ARE AN ANTI AMERICA PLAN, AND THE PARTY PAID FOR THEIR TOTAL SERVICES, TO HELP ADVANCE IT, AND PUT IT IN POWER ON A NO BASE ELLIGIBILITY, NOT EVEN A BIRTH CERTIFICAT TO SHOW,
TO WORK TOWARD DESTRUCTION OF THE COUNTRY,
CHANGE INTO A GLOBAL MOSAIC OF ONE WORLD PARTY,
THEIR WORK ARE DRIVING AMERICA TO IT, AND IT’S VERY DANGEROUS, AN ATTACK ON THE FOUNDATION OF THIS UNIQUE EXCEPTIONALIST USA, THEY HATE TO HEAR THAT LINE, YES ENVY IS EATING THEIR GUTTS, THAT’S WHY HE LIKE TO PUNISH THE GOOD PEOPLE, ANYWAY HE CAN FIND,
WHICH IS TRUE, AND DRIVING ALL THE PEOPLE TOWARD
A DEEP HOLE, WHERE THERE IS NO RETURN BACK UPWARD,
AND THEY THINK THEY ARE NOT DISCOVERED,
WELL THE ALL AMERICA IS IN THE KNOW,
THEY CAN EJACULATE ON THEIR LEGS EXITED FROM THE SUCCESS THEY PARTICIPATED IN, BUT IT IS NOT A SOLID SUCCESS, IT BREAK INSTEAD OF CONTRIBUTING TO THE
BETTERNESS OF AMERICA, AND IT NOW HAS BEEN PROVEN
SO MANY TIMES IN SO MANY PLACES, INCLUDING THE VETERANS WHO NEED CARE, THOSE OTHER DIED WAITING,
THOSE OTHER GAVE UP AND KILL THEMSELVES IN A DESPERATE MOVE, BECAUSE THEY WAITED BEYONG THEIR HUMAN LIMIT OF PAIN,
THAT IS ONLY ONE OF THE PROOF, THAT THE OBAMA IS ON THE WRONG PATH, AND STILL GOING DOWN THE CLIFF,
TAKING PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW HIM AS THEIR IDOL,
AN IDOL THAT IS RUINING THE ECONOMY WITH HIS SPENDING SPREES ON THE WRONG PLACE, ON THE WRONG JOB CREATOR,
WICH VANISH AFTER THEY GOT HOLD OF THEIR GRANTS,
TO NEVER BEE SEEN AGAIN,
AND SPEECHS
WITH A MOUTHFULL OF WORDS,THAT ONLY BRING BURDEN TO THE SOCIETY AT THE END,
RUSSIA VLADIMIR PUTIN
GET OUT OF UKRAINE, LEAVE THEM ALONE
YOU ARE A WAR MONGREL, YOU NEED TO BE TAKEN AWAY AND LOCKED IN FOREVER,
BECAUSE YOU LOST YOUR MIND, AND YOU ARE A DANGEROUS BEAST TO BE DESTROY,
AND TAKE AWAY YOUR POWER, YOU ARE UNABLE TO BE A GOOD LEADER,
THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA MUST DEAL WITH YOU AS SOON AS NOW,
IF THEY WANT TO RECLAIME THE PRIDE OF RUSSIA,
WHICH IS NOT THERE NOW, BECAUSE OF THAT NO GOOD ARROGANT PERSON,
WHO DOESN’T DISERVE THE POSITION HE IS NOW, HE IS NOW A BRUTAL ENVIOUS KILLER SEEKING TO TAKE ON ANOTHER COUNTRY,
YOU WILL BE DEFEATED BY YOUR OWN PEOPLE, AND THE RUSSIAN SEPARATIST CRIMINALS WON’T
BE IN UKRAINE LONGER, THEY WILL BE DEPORTED TO RUSSIA,
