My sentiments exactly, Archaeus. Hey, as long as we can have asinine extremist comments about rounding up people who's politics they disagree with from the rah-rah gang, here's one for them to chew on:
Why "Homeland Defense"? Why not just go out all out and say, "Defense of der Fatherland!"
Before the rah rah gang goes clueless again, that was only an example of your friend, VA's asininity.
You should be ashamed of yourself. What a horrible thing to write.
Yes, the term Homeland Defense grated on my ears during the speech, sounds much too Germanic. Australians refer to their country as their "homeland" too, maybe other countries as well, but it's not a term widely used in the USA. I guess it will be soon.
Trying to think of reasons why they chose the term...perhaps to "include" those who make their homes here but are not citizens. Perhaps "national" would have offended the flag-burning constituency.
