In part the Obama revolution is linguistic. Words have been reinvented to mask unpleasant reality. Executive orders are presidential memoranda to disguise their ubiquity. Costly Obamacare is an Affordable Care Act. Treaties are mere accords that do not need to be ratified by the Senate. Deportations are redefined to create a false sense that immigration law is enforced. Terrorism is disassociated from its Islamic roots through euphemisms like man-caused disaster. In part the Obama revolution is bureaucratic. Old agencies are reinvented for new progressive missions. The NASA director promised to pursue Muslim outreach. The IRS went after political opponents. The actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement are selective, and predicated on politics that are deemed favorable to the long-term Obama agenda. Whether the Department of Justice under Eric Holder intervened in a case was predicated on race, class and gender criteria rather than just the legal merits. In part the Obama revolution is a war to divvy up the nation by race, class and gender. Differences are all stoked through various made-up wars. Incendiary presidential advisers like Al Sharpton, inflammatory rhetoric such nation of cowards and punish our enemies, and presidential commentary on controversies such as the Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown cases inflame and divide.
