When this Homeland Security Department came along I thought it was a good thing. Man, what I an idiot I was. The government sucked me in big time. I thought that the agency was going to be involved with the security of the nation. I guess it was the name that faked me out.

Nor should they. America died with passage of the Patriot Act.

When DHS was first created, it was sold as a department to make sure FBI, CIA, local law enforcement and others would share information about potential threats.
Never was it suggested it would grow to an umbrella super organization of its own, with more power than all the others put together.
A massive bait-and-switch was played on us all, paid for with our own money and loss of freedom.

And DHS as protection from islamic attacks is a laugh. The Borders are wide open. Islamists are permeating our government. Bush loved them. Hillary has an MB connected chick at her side 24/7. Grover Norquist loves them. We see soldir forbidden from criticizing the Taliban enemy or their favorite hobby, pedophilia. We see the FBI scrubbing all terror training materials of any references to islam.
The borders are wide open.
We supply weaspons to the Mexican cartels, the Libyan branch of Al Qeida, the Syrian Al Qeida, etc.
We are flooding the nation with every variety of moslem we can. Pakistani, Somali, Iraqi, Afghan, Egyptian, Yemeni, etc.

It’s a fair conclusion that the last thing the US government wants is to stop islamic attacks.

This raises the question. What is DHS actually for?

There is a Homeland Security base somewhere near the northern boundary of the Willapa Hills in southwest Washington State.

Black helicopters fly right over my house when traveling between Portland, Oregon, and that base.

One night a group of them flew over and had searchlights on, raking the ground. It was 10:30 at night and over a residential neighborhood - crass and totally unnecessary behavior.

For now, these purchases only compete for supply.

There’s no staff available to use this quantity of ammo.

They could double the military and police in this country and remain “uncompetative” with free Americans.

Keep in mind that less than half the military are proficient with firearms.

Is there some thought that by making jobs so hard to find that at some point folks will see signing up for a DHS brown-shirt squad, to oppress fellow Americans, as a viable career?

It took the D of C over 200 years to create an agency to defend the borders? That was their original job.

Homeland gave me the creeps from day one. They never protected any borders.

Instead they geared up to protect the bureaucrats from we the people or they geared up to make war on we the people.

Just like the TSA and every other agency since 2000

It is past time for there to be a specific citizens lobbying group with a simple mission: That there are several federal government agencies that have no legitimate need to exist, so should be abolished.

The argument this lobbying organization makes does not need to be fiery or aggressive in any way, just the clear statement that these agencies serve no needed purpose, and are extremely expensive, so government should no longer pretend they have purpose, and despite the inertia of their great bulk, should end funding for them. Buh-bye.

No anger, or threats, or rage. The US was a better place without them, and there is no reason to keep them going, as their missions are either redundant with other agencies, or are intrusive and oppressive without tangible purpose or objective; so they should be dismissed, and the money not spent on other things that are equally unneeded.

These agencies are as superfluous as the industries subsidized by the administration who never achieved what they were supposed to do.

The TSA is as meaningless as A123 Systems or Solyndra. We are no longer subsidizing those, just writing off the investment. The same calm objectivity should apply to the TSA.

Those who supported it were not bad people, they just misjudged America’s security needs and created a bureaucracy that serves to good purpose. So it should be packed in boxes, recycled if possible to more useful purpose, but it is too expensive to keep pumping money into.

Likewise, those who wish them abolished are also not bad people, and do not deserve scrutiny, threats or punishment for demanding efficiency and at least a modicum of careful spending by the federal government.

Admit the mistakes, and stop funding them. It’s not so hard.
