DHS: The Department of Homegrown Stupidity
Townhall.com ^ | 4/19/2009 | Doug Giles

Posted on 04/19/2009 4:44:06 PM PDT by ReformationFan

For someone in Obama’s cabinet to warn the nation about decent God and country loving people as being “extreme” is like Rosie criticizing chunky and obnoxious middle-aged white lesbian comics for being unfunny.

Behold, the Audacity of Irony. Or hypocrisy. Both work for me. You choose.

Uh, hello, Ms. Napolitano, you work for the Czar of the Extreme, Barack Hussein Obama.

By the way, what’s up with all this Czar crap? What’s next, leopard skin fezzes? Eye patches? Geez, we have more czars in Barack’s Bizarroland administration than Russia had during the entire Romanov Dynasty. We’re not Russians yet, so can your Cabinut dial the hizzle down with the russkie rhetoric? We’re all still trying to learn Tex-Mex since we’ve been invaded. Quit complicating things. One frickin’ language at a time, por favor.

First of all—and I know my conservative buddies are going to think I’ve moved to Wussville—I frankly don’t believe Napolitano is concerned about extremism at all. Think about it. If she was that ramped up about extremism you would think she’d do something about that radical haircut of hers. Soften it up there, sister. Just because you’re a big Taylor Hicks fan doesn’t mean you have to run with his ‘do every time you visit SuperCuts.

I’m sure just for that quip I’ll have black helicopters buzzing around my house with dudes descending from rappelling ropes in ninja outfits with night vision goggles, doing somersaults on my roof and then jumping through the skylights to whisk me away to some undisclosed location where I’ll be waterboarded (or worse yet forced to watch a video loop of Pelosi singing “Like a Virgin”) ‘til I snap and drink the Hussein Koolaid. Pray for me. If I disappear, please tell my wife and kids I love them.

Let’s see, according to the Whitehouse’s Wizards of Obfuscation, who are the terror threats America needs to be on the lookout for? Is it anti-American douches like Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright? Nope. Is it G20esque smelly-as-a-goat-scrotum eco freaks? Wrong again. Is it Muslim radicals who are sprinkled about our country in both covert sleeper cells and plain as hell death camps? Quit being silly, that’s so yesterday. I know, I know, our cultural Dennis the Menaces are the drug cartels and their rabble that are pouring through our southern borders and kidnapping our kids? No, you lunatic, Pepe ain’t the problem. Quit being so judgmental. Hey-Soos said, “Thou shalt not judge.”

No, serfs of Obamaland, the bad people, the extremists, according to the Department of Homegrown Stupidity are the peaceful millions who love God and the Constitution and are sick of watching the clowns in the Whitehouse drive our country into an economic and moral ditch of which there isn’t a tow truck big enough to winch it out of.

Essentially, the folks everyone in America needs to be on the watch for are . . . themselves, the American soldiers and civilians who don’t do the grinning bobble-head nod when Barack spends our kids’ cash, bows to a Saudi king, trashes our Judeo-Christian heritage and disses the USA on EU soil. Yep, the terrorist threat is now folks like you, me and millions and millions of other peaceful patriots who are waking up to the fact that we are being screwed, glued and tattooed while being utterly ignored.

I have heard at least two callers to radio talk shows from different regions of the country saying DHS was photographing/video taping people that attended the Tea parties. Anyone else here this?

As pogo once said, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”.

The Marine Corps sent me to school in Viet Nam to be
a fierce enemy, I am rusty but unbent.

People had doubts when Bush created DHS now that authority is in the hands of hardcore radicals.
Abolish all of it!

Thanks to all you FReepers out there cheering when the DHS was established under Bush. Now it’s under the Obama administration and it’s about to go rogue. Same with the Patriot Act too.

There were four black uniformed LEOs on the roof of the California capitol building scanning the crowd with binoculars. That did not make me feel very comfortable. Didn’t see any sniper rifles or cameras up there, but who knows what was lying behind the parapet.

Exactly right. The DHS was created in the wake of 9-11 to stop Islamic terrorism.

Now, the DHS has defined the enemy as right wing extremists, whom it identifies as people for lower taxes and smaller government, against gay marriage, abortion, and bailouts, and “anti immigration” (meaning illegal anti-immigration). Returning Vets are especially suspect.

In other words, within the few months Obama has been president, the DHS has morphed into an arm of the Democrat National committee.

If this isn’t bad enough, just as the Obama administration has eliminated the term “War on Terror” and replaced it with “Overseas Contingency Operations, the DHS has gone into denial about the existence of Islamic terrorism on the home front.

Do we need to eliminate waste in spending? DHS (not the military) is the place to start. The DHS is not only a waste but an imminent threat to our basic freedoms.

Total domestic war has been declared against all normal Americans by the ‘liberal’ fascist machine.
