#2 This is just the latest evidence that the political consulting industry is completely driven by financial greed and not loyal to the West or the Constitution.

But really, what are they other than a reflection of the public at large in an age of bread and circus? The nonmilitary public sector is comprised almost entirely of people loyal to their magic paycheck, not the Constitution or even the task their agency is ostensibly about, so they increase regulations without regard to any logic or proof of utility. Unions are completely OK with shutting down profitable mines like the one in Raton NM if they don't get their way. The legal profession promotes more and more laws because that is good for their bottom line. In an immoral and predatory environment like this we should not be surprised at consultants catching the same groove.

A good buddy of mine pointed out fifteen years ago that America had gotten to the point here the only thing holding it together was money and affluence, much of it borrowed. Take it away, he said, and things would split apart. We are living through those times. A shared vision of limited government, religious freedom, work ethic, and individual initiative tempered by charity at the community level had been under assault since Woodrow Wilson and had taken huge hits in the Thirties and Sixties. It had ruptured by 2000 and we are seeing now that many Americans and the vast majority of those publicly funded in some way have signed on to something completely different.
