I think the general's right; I've always been suspicious of "emergency" legislation of any kind, and never more so than that establishing the Dept. of Fatherland Homeland Security.
And then to put an East Coast liberal like Tom Ridge in charge, why, we might as well have hired Fidel's younger brother Raoul!

and never more so than that establishing the Dept. of Fatherland Homeland Security.

Correct. We should be prepared to defend the HOMEFRONT with our HOMEFRONT rifles and equipment and we should establish HOMEFRONT training ranges in every nook and cranny of America where citizens can go to practice marksmanship and learn the strategy and tactices of true National Security. THAT would be the proper conservative approach to HOMEFRONT Security.
