The overwhelming majority of those who draw US Government paychecks (apart from uniformed members of the Armed Forces) are filthy,worthless supporters of the Rat Party and have been for years.So even with a Republican President you basically have a Maoist government.

i fear far too many perfumed princes of the pentagon including some non-flag officers also fall into this category.

That is a silly statement. I worked for decades for three of the military services and an investigative agency. The tenor of the employees both blue collar and white was definitely culturally conservative and pretty much politically the same. Areas that had lots of dem voters such as Pensacola in the 50’ and 60’s were conservative bluedog dems typified by the man who pretty much ruled the panhandle, Bob Sikes. These people shifted to the GOP during the 70’s. In other areas I worked such as Dayton, Ohio were the feds at HQ AFLC, as it was then, were majority traditional Ohio GOP. About 70% of the regular employees of Uncle Sam are either in the military departments or in law enforcement. Whatever stupidities these agencies engage in, rank and file seem to tilt towards the GOP. In the last years i was a fed i did notice a distinct change beginning in the uniformed service personnel. They were much more socially liberal and increasingly politically liberal also. Black and other minority junior officers and younger enlisted articulated frankly radical sentiments of the sort any white service member saying things of opposite rightwing radical sentiments would have had their career ended. There has been (at least in 2006/07) very very little new hiring of civilian GS personnel for years so the average age of the white collar work force was growing higher each year. During the Bush years a flood of contractors were brought in rather than hiring more feds (this does make some economic sense). These people were generally quite young and kept their mouths firmly shut about politics and social attitudes (they had obviously been told to do so by their employers). From friends I have in regulatory agencies it is clear they have a much more liberal tilt but in numbers of employees they have relatively few people. The notice frequently articulated here that rank and file feds are a group of leftists is an erroneous presumption. However, our culture is changing, and it is tilting left very rapidly. The next generation of feds will have a lot more cultural and political leftists and liberals in it. That just reflects the changes in the larger culture which are underway.
