The two wings of the Perpetual Incumbency Party now believe that the system has been sufficiently rigged for their career security that they may so legislate without fear.
How does it work? They promise pork -- and deliver. Americans sell their votes for federal handouts, and Congress sells their votes to transnational interests. America is for sale. It can be taken back, though. It was a small minority who believed in taking it back in 1775.
What makes it worse is that for the Congressmen who have been in there a while, getting kicked out of office isn't even a threat anymore. Most of them can make more money after they leave office as a lobbyist for foreign interests.
They, the internationalists, call their security, Homeland Security. The problem is that too many American soldiers, now veterans, were always told of a different vision of America, a vision of a place worth protecting by fighting and dying. The internationalists may be underestimating the strength of the ordinary American.
The Republican-Democrat elites advertise Homeland Security as protecting us from an external threat. What horse$hit. That’s the job of our armed forces. They tell us that we need it to weed out the Islamic terrorists within. Really! Just march the illegal’s back to the border when the local police catch them. Just fire the State Department. They are all bought off by the oil rich Arabs. We would be better off without a state Department. I would rather have a General or an Admiral explain foreign policy to sheiks. Commodore Perry did just fine by me with Japan. So did MacArhur. Homeland Security is really being formed to provide a huge federally controlled security apparatus. Don’t give me that crap that about not one person has yet been abused by it. When it starts it won’t be one abuse, it will be many.
The big question is when will the elites think they have the strength to use it? I don’t think the Republicans would try, yet. The Democrats would. They blew away Waco without any concern. They sent Elian back to Fidel without any resistance. Dead bodies littered Clinton’s path. He knows how to misuse police.
Who will be on the ordinary Americans side? Veterans? Local police? It could get messy. For those who pay little attention to history, keep in mind that American History is replete with forgotten insurrections and brutal suppression by the Federal and state governments.
Homeland Security is not what you are told it is. It is the beginning of an American Gestapo.
