So have I...thought we already had a "Department of Defense".
Total waste and will be costing us more in $$$$ and lives in the future.
It did generate some economic activity by things like forcing many state and local agencies to abandon their existing radio systems in order to have “interoperability”. That probably prevented some layoffs in the private sector, but it was in most cases completely unnecessary, or the same goals could have been met much less expensively. But hey, it’s fun tos spend other peoples money!
The money spent is worse than a total waste; it serves only to foster an environment of lawlessness, incompetence, and enormous inconvenience for Americans.
In short, it’s a disgrace which siphons needed funds away from legitimate programs.
Open borders?, terrorists without passports necessary?,
Fast&furious?, letting murderers and rapists go free?...
Recruiting and sending infected to all 57 states?
Absolute success for the Enemies of America and its Constitution.
If you use the term “homeland” without gagging ....you just might be a neocon. ;)
Worse than a waste of money. Throwing money down a sewer would have been a better investment.
They could shut down the “Homeland Security” Department tomorrow and nobody would miss it. Okay, maybe the fascist DemocRATS would.
DHS? - $1 Trillion
Making politicians look like they’re “doing something” after people panic? - PRICELESS!
when DHS confiscated s_u_v’s lacking the proper engine serial numbers, how on earth does that enhanced security of the US...??
When DHS busts boston area strip clubs for having counterfeit NFL merchandise, how does that enhance the security of the u_s homeland...??
The republican and democrat response to the Sept. 11 attacks was to declare war on the civil liberties and privacy of the American people. Brilliant.
The so-called Department of Homeland Security is a domestic Stasi in the making.
And we’ve got wide open borders to boot.
But..but....the Tea Party Terrorists have to be kept in check!/s
Homeland is a horse Shiite perjorative and yes; $1 trillion has be squandered on idiotic programs and some really stoopit people as TSA jerk offs, who perform nothing particularly well that wasn’t being done before 911.
DHS = huge affirmative action boondoggle. Under Obama we got that porky lesbian Janet “from another planet” Napolitano/ Now we have Jeh Johnson an incompetent Black man or else a saboteur. Probably sabotage. I have heard all his lies and excuses as to why the Mexican border is open and no one gets deported
better than spending money trying
to build democracy in the middle east
homeland security is the new Gestapo.
Just remember we all need to thank that really great conservative George Bush for DHS and for the massive prescription drug benefit. Really great conservative programs and ideas.
A few days late for this thread, but Bovard nailed it in 2001!

When posters protested the formation of DHS and other bad ideas they got doses of the "cult" saying "your either with us or the terrorist" crap. There was no reasoning with them nor would they listen to well reasoned warnings.
2001-2006 can only go down in history as the biggest waste of opportunity to turn our nation around in history. That can be blamed squarely on the GOP-E alone and their enabling of the Liberal agendas. They stood with the DEM's. They still do today. Sad to say some poster still support the GOP-E.
This guy’s writing skills are atrocious.
