We all know it is impossible to get rid of a federal agency once it is created. We are stuck with it, good or bad.
I’m really sick of giving Bill Maher a moment of my time. When did this guy become a political commentator of any value? He’s like Karl Rove.
I don’t agree with him often but he is on to something!
the problem with liberals like Maher is that most of them were raised by and educated by liberals who never had to actually work as a productive member of society...so they have no understanding what happens when you react to some potential threat by creating another government monstrosity that is filled with others like them who have no practical knowledge how to logically address, analyze and solve problems. Just another turd in the sewer of liberalism!!
So why be unhappy with Homeland Security and that sort? You punks voted for personal intrusion when you twice voted for The Fascist in Chief.
Bill ands kids, get lots of K-Y jelly. That's the government you voted and support. Now bend over and take it.
I would never have believed I could agree with Maher on anything but this proves me wrong.
Of course doing away with any federal agency is a pipe dream, but MLK isn’t the only who can dream.
Let's can the DHS.
It is leaderless and dispersed enough that the repercussions would be minimal.
Honestly... The only real problem with the DHS is the name. The name sucks. The idea to reorg things like customs, border patrol, immigration, and the Coast Guard under the same roof makes a lot if intuitive sense. The DHS isn’t so much a new agency as it is the reorganization of already-existing agencies. Having the Coast Guard in Transportation never made any sense. Why should immigration and customs be under different banners? It makes sense that they are all together.
But... The name really blows. Gotta work on that.

I detest Bill Maher but I agree with him here.
Nauseating just to agree with this ugly specimen of humankind.
Remember when they seized websites that were merely accused of putting up links to torrent sites? WTF???
Homeland Security Seized site
Look at the site I linked above. Simply seized by the DHS.
Maher remains on the “Mussolini action list”, should CWII commence.
I like that idea. And then half of government next.
Get rid of ALL the departments down to the original four and do not retain ANY of the personnel. It might just give the country back its future.
Why does anyone care what this foul-mouthed pipsqueak has to say?
I’ve thought for years we should do away with DHS......but having Bill Maher agree with me gives me cause for re-evaluation!!!!!
In that, it is one up on Bill Maher, who never had any usefulness.
New World Coming: American Security in the 21st Century
There will be a blurring of boundaries: between homeland defense and foreign policy; between sovereign states and a plethora of protectorates and autonomous zones; between the pull of national loyalties on individual citizens and the pull of loyalties both more local and more global in nature.
The "real action" of local, national and global politics is NOT given visibility by the press.
Oh, Maher is a goon.
