Homeland Security Urges More Citizens to Spy on Neighbors
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 11 June 2011 | John Semmens

Posted on 06/12/2011 10:59:33 AM PDT by John Semmens

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano warned Americans not to take the slaying of Osama bin-Laden as a cue to ease up on our vigilance. “Al-Qaeda is not the only threat to our government,” Napolitano said. “Enemies are everywhere.”

Because enemies are everywhere Napolitano urged everyone to keep an eye out for signs of trouble.

“If you know of people in your neighborhood who have guns let us know,” the Secretary requested. “If you overhear conversations that are critical of government policies or programs give us a call.”

Napolitano counseled against “letting hazy conceptions about Constitutional rights deter anyone from reporting suspicious activity. An attitude of ‘zero tolerance’ should be everyone’s ‘rule-of-thumb.’ Don’t hold anything back. Let the courts decide who’s guilty. That’s their job, not yours. You shouldn’t try to judge for yourself whether what you see or hear may be innocent behavior.”

“Getting every loyal citizen on-board with our surveillance program is vital,” Napolitano maintained. “The Department’s budget is limited. We can’t afford to put officers everywhere we want. If enough Americans voluntarily assist us we can achieve maximum security with existing resources.”

Wow! This is frightening.. if you know of someone in your neighborhood with guns, let us know. If someone talks bad about the government or policies, let us know. Orwell was right!! The big, seeing eye is all around us.

Does this mean all FReepers who express negative statements of the Obomba regime receive a Get-In-Jail-Free! card? Will I get a fully customized straight jacket and receive Leftist indoctrination for 18 hours per day during my stay in your gulag, Nappy?

Enemies are everywhere?

Are they joking?

It was people Napolitano and Bush who made American citizenship all but pointless, as they welcomed in tens of thousands of Muslims, in addition to tens of millions of illegal Mexicans.

Now they tell us it's a problem?

These people are lunatics

A “satire” tag in the title would have been immensely helpful!
