"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance." The Attack of the Obamanoid Bureaucrats.

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance." -- Declaration of Independence, 1776.
It seems that the Obamanoids are busy re-establishing the predicate for the Founders' notion that it is a patriotic thing to shoot an Imperial bureaucrat intent on stealing your liberty, your property and your lives: Obama’s power play
In an FDA office building in suburban Maryland, the bureaucrats gather over coffee to draft rules meant to squeeze the trans fat out of snack foods.
Four blocks from the White House, in an EPA conference room: more bureaucrats, more meetings, more drafting of rules, these aimed at forcing industrialists to spend billions cutting carbon to fend off global warming.
Congress? Who needs Congress?/i>
Americans heard President Barack Obama declare this week that he intends to bypass the gridlocked Hill to get things done on his own. What they didn’t hear: just how far he’s actually pushing his executive authority.
An in-depth examination of the administration’s actions and plans, agency by agency, regulation by regulation, reveals an executive power play that’s broad and bold — and intensely ambitious. Far more than he let on in the State of the Union, the president has marshaled the tools of his office to advance policies, many unabashedly liberal, that push deep into everyday life for tens of millions of Americans.

Could pushy bureaucrats be the catalyst for making the cold war, go hot? There are many True Believers among these bureaucrats, people who have unconditional belief in their power by decree. So strong is their belief, that they will over look the Law of Unintended Consequences. This is good.

Don't you think it's time to replace the word liberal with the term marxist progressive, or totalitarian? These demons are anything but liberal.
