Seriously? You've been on FR for over 12 years and you believe the President has the Constitutional Authority to create a Department?

The Department of Homeland Security has ordered masses of riot gear equipment to prepare for potential significant domestic riots at the Republican National Convention, Democratic National Convention and next year’s presidential inauguration.
The DHS submitted a rushed solicitation to the Federal Business Opportunities site on Wednesday, which is a portal for Federal government procurement requisitions over $25,000. The request gave the potential suppliers only one day to submit their proposals and a 15-day delivery requirement to Alexandria, Virginia.
As the brief explains, “the objective of this effort is to procure riot gear to prepare for the 2012 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, the 2013 Presidential Inauguration and other future similar activities.”
The total amount ordered is about 150 sets of riot helmets, thigh and groin protectors, hard-shell shin guards and other riot gear.
Specifically, DHS is looking to obtain:

Frankly, 150 sets of riot gear isn't going to be worth squat when the party really gets going after Oh-Bah-Mah is deposed.
Gore and Kerry BOTH denied GW Bush election night victories.
I expect no less of a lack of concession from the Red Diaper Doper Baby Barack Obama in 2012.
He rules by executive fiat in defiance of the Constitution and the separation of powers.
There is a reason why the standard DHS color is BLACK. It was the same preference for Hitler’s Gestapo.
Through Bush’s naive assumption that a Department of Homeland Security would be a benefit and help stop terrorism, it has been subverted and mutated into the pre-election promise of Obama’s wherein “.....we need a civilian defense force, as well armed and as well funded as the military.”
DHS is under control of just one person. Figureheaded by an ideologue, Napolitano, it is Obama’s personal army, as well armed, and better funded than the military, without the core foundations of honor, duty, sacrifice and freedom above all else.
Seriously? You've been on FR for over 12 years and you believe the President has the Constitutional Authority to create a Department?
When is the DHS going to place it’s order for bioweapons and WMDs to counter the perceived threat from the Tea Party?
There is a show where they show cops policing the streets of Las Vegas and arresting people for minor things like selling beer or disrupting traffic and they are DHS police. It is unbelievable. They are probably funded by stimulus money.
This topic was beaten to death over the weekend...
“When is the DHS going to place it’s order for bioweapons and WMDs to counter the perceived threat from the Tea Party?”
First, their will be a fire at the capitol building blamed on the TEA party. Then, there will be some bodies in Continental army uniforms who were killed “attacking” the Democrat convention.
Public opinion must be swayed to believe the threat from the TEA party is real.
See my tagline.
Yep... wonder who the lucky company is?
And the local liberal politicians have been doing their utmost over the past year to try to get the Governor to restrict convention goer’s gun rights.
(It’s easier to hold a riot if the people you plan to throw rocks and bottles at are disarmed.)
groin protectors: something the Republican establishment doesn’t need, anyway.
The end of the fiscal year is approaching; that likely has more to do with the purchases than urgent need.
New math is old math.
DHS=SS
Path to hell is paved with good intentions.
Beware of Homeland Security Training for Local Law Enforcement, by An Insider
...So how does a person qualify as a potential domestic terrorist? Based on the training I have attended, here are characteristics that qualify:
Expressions of libertarian philosophies (statements, bumper stickers)
Second Amendment-oriented views (NRA or gun club membership, holding a CCW permit)
Survivalist literature (fictional books such as “Patriots” and “One Second After” are mentioned by name)
Self-sufficiency (stockpiling food, ammo, hand tools, medical supplies)
Fear of economic collapse (buying gold and barter items)
Religious views concerning the book of Revelation (apocalypse, anti-Christ) -
(L’havdil, does “We Want Moshiach Now!” count?)
Expressed fears of Big Brother or big government
Homeschooling
Declarations of Constitutional rights and civil liberties
Belief in a New World Order conspiracy
You can almost sense that the Obama administration is preparing to create some national public issue that will provoke and outrage the citizenry so much that we will not stand for it. Then they can impose military rule to "keep order" and hold power just as Hitler and Stalin did.
I hope I am wrong but I have lived long enough and dealt directly with oppressors like the East German Stasi and Russian KGB. This experience and history are the basis for why I believe Obama intends to not leave office no matter what the vote is....he is prepared to use the courts, homeland security, armed forces, national guard and other military, the federal agencies,and the states to hold power.
Do not overlook the millions of bullets the DHS has ordered in the coming months. THAT is the sign that we must prepare for government violence against the American people.
For your Pre-election Riots” info.
I had heard, but not experienced first hand until very recently, how ANGRY a liberal/sheeperal will get if you are preparing for economic collapse.
Of course, in so doing, you are denigrating their god, the government, and its ability to “take care of you”.
It's the internal security apparatus for this Communist regime. In other dictatorships, it's known as "Secret Police."
