Department of Homeland Security, Meet Government Bureaucracy

Both the House and Senate have thrown themselves full force into creating a new Department intended to provide the broad reach of ‘homeland security.’

[Old philosopher]

Simply another grab for power by our corrupt politicians from both sides of the aisle.

Shuffling these bureaucrats around and giving them new titles will not do one whit of good for the general good of the country.

The "War on Terrorism" has become an incumbent protection scheme, shoring up the popularity of the politicians from the president on down as they show us how they are so concerned with our safety.

I for one would feel safer if all of the politicians in Washington would take a two year vacation so that they could do the least amount of harm to the rest of us. We have more to fear from the "Washington Ruling Class" than we have from terrorists from outside. The ruling class politicians from both sides of the aisle share the same pot. Did you ever notice that when one of them gets defeated in an election they always get rewarded by an appointment to some high paying, cushy government job regardless of party affiliation, or which party is in power?
