Welcome to the Obamanation, comrade!

Are the drug gang members getting DHS uniforms as they cross the border into the USA (yet)?

And you think we're not in "the last days?"

A huge duh for this one, for those who haven’t figured out how USG/Obama are fullfilling their goal to create a homeland force as powerful as the US military, to control USA. All those MRAP Armored Cars and SWAT teams _are_ it; militarized police, Federally funded and overseen.

A better plan would be to abolish the DHS altogether.

In making the case for shutting down the de facto national police agency, analyst Charles Kenny offers the following six reasons: one, the agency lacks leadership; two, terrorism is far less of a threat than it is made out to be; three, the FBI has actually stopped more alleged terrorist attacks than DHS; four, the agency wastes exorbitant amounts of money with little to show for it; five, “An overweight DHS gets a free pass to infringe civil liberties without a shred of economic justification”; and six, the agency is just plain bloated.

It's difficult to stop a police state once incentives and personnel are in place. But, God Willing, there's still time to stop this one...

Forgot to add shrinking US Military, growing USG/police changes the ratio towards USG/police > US/military, day by day.

Obama promised it... and he's getting what he wants. I can't but help think that Bush is a part of the plot since he started the DHS, or am I being too paranoid? Is it a case of good intention that was taken over and perverted? Did DHS REALLY need to exist in the first place?

Yes, as it was always intended to be since the day it was conceived.

This was one of several areas I was totally opposed to bush for doing. there was absolutely no good that was going to come from it and I am vindicated.

I wonder how many "undocumented" illegals arriving in Amerikka and being rapidly dispersed around the country are ISIS militants with US passports?

Never mind, just keep all eyes focused on granny and grandpa. They are members of the most vicious terrorist organization ever to walk the face of the earth - THE TEA PARTY! </sarc>

The question is are you paranoid ENOUGH? And just because you are paranoid does not mean no one is out do get you.

Seriously, though, the men that created the DHS knew exactly what they were doing. For Gods sake, they brought in Markus Wolfe, the former head of the East German STASI, to help design the damn thing.

And people wonder why the rapid rise in fatalities among LEOs. I certainly don’t condone violence against those sworn to protect us against the worst element of society, but I do understand a citizenry that increasingly refuses to accept police thuggery as the lesser of two evils.

The Standing army is the large U.S. Army standing sense world War 2.

The Department of Homeland Security would be more accurately described as an occupying army. They do not simply stand ready to assault our rights, they actively do so.

Yup. Been preaching this for years now and it is amazing how ignorant so many Americans are. As long a the Feds fed and give them money to play with we never recover. Remember Romney's 47 percent?

By the way, miss Romney yet? Come on hard noses, pass along some more of your horse stuff.

No it’s nothing of the sort. It is a massive welfare program populated by useful idiots that can produce some of the most mind blowing cluster f***so you have ever seen.

Obama's "Civilian National Security Force"

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a “Civilian National Security Force” that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Barack Hussein Obama, Colorado Springs, CO 7/2/2008
