[T. Jefferson]

First, after 9/11 he creates a whole new bureaucracy with the "Office of Homeland Security".

List for us all the successful attacks on US soil since this office was created.

Then he pushes through the so-called "Patriot Act" that does more to trample on the individual rights of citizens than it does to quell illegal aliens from entering this country.

List the top 5 ways your rights have been trampled. Thanks.

Since the Mexican consulate was caught after the fact of arranging 200 MEs to slip into the country, we will have to wait and see. These MEs probably need their drivers license first before an attack. Doesn't Homeland security have something to do with our borders??????

You've obviously not read the bill, have you? Neither did your Congresscritter. You read it and come back and we'll discuss it. It does absolutely nothing to seal our borders. It does absolutely nothing to track illegal aliens. What it does do is allow the Fed to monitor your phone lines,e-mail, purchasing habits, library books and reference material you are interested in, and gives the FBI, CIA, and Justice Department the ability to track your every move without a warrant. Pretty patriotic, huh?
