Dept. Of Homeland Security Is A Joke

“What scares me even more is the idea that the roving bands of criminals that took control of areas of New Orleans would be left to do their thing.

And it also scares me to think that we are heading towards a time in which individuals will be left to deal with this tragedy completely on their own. That's the end result of limited government.

Oh, and the storm falls under Homeland Security because Bush put it there when he created the department. FEMA was ready and chomping at the bit to take on an anthrax attack, but it forgot about hurricanes.

BTW, note how Republicans now call themselves "Jeffersonian." It's because they are rats jumping from the sinking ship. No one wants to be a conservative these days. And no one wants to be in the same party as Bush.

Can they fool enough people before the next election?”

““Nigal read the first sentence of the quote from the Homeland Security Website (which I posted at 3:38:08 PM today.”

Thanks. It would seem it should fall on FEMA first.

“Question for Jeffersonian Republicans, especially Bacpac.

Do you share Jefferson's opinions on the separation of Church and State,”

Separation of church and state 100% in that the government would not establish a religion. Separation of church in state in that there is total religious freedom.

“and on the Church and Christianity?”

I know Jefferson was a bit of an odd ball and pretty much made his own version of the bible having removed some of the pagan stuff. This bible is still issued to each in coming representatives I believe. In the end I don’t really care what Jefferson thought of Christianity.”

“You associate yourself with Jefferson? Wasn't that the guy who owned slaves and screwed his slave mistress. Sounds republican all right.

“Democrats are the party of the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, lynchings, and real quality people like good old boy Ex-Klansman Senator Robert Byrd (you know him... In an interview in 2001 he rather famously said, "There are white #&%!$s. I've seen a lot of white #&%!$s in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much." Yeah, that's your boy!). Democratic judges in the south were the ones pushing to keep blacks out of the polling places 40 years ago, not the Republicans.

Lincoln said of the Democrats, just before the Civil war:

"The Republicans inculcate, with whatever ability they can, that the Negro is a man, that his bondage is cruelly wrong, and that the field of his oppression ought not to be enlarged. The Democrats deny his manhood; deny, or dwarf to insignificance the wrong of his bondage; so far as possible, crush all sympathy for him, and cultivate and excite hatred and disgust against him; compliment themselves as Union-savers for doing so; and call the indefinite spreading of his bondage a sacred right of self-government."

So I have no problems with you shooting your mouth off, USA, because I know the kind of crap that will come out of it. Just know that others can and will throw it back at you.”

“"Can I get me a hunting license here?"”

“Lincoln would be puking in his grave if he can see what you modern republicans did to his party!”

“Sure Pitts, but you missed both shots.

First off, USA ain't no Democrat. Second the Republican party, at least since the Southern Strategy which started in the 1960s has successfully courted the old racist elements of the Democratic pary which refused to accept the Democratic embrace of the Civil Rights movement.

Of course, I don't think USA scored a direct hit on the Republican party that one liner either.”

“How come the Republican party in today's south is the white man's party and the Democratic party in today's south has so much appeal to blacks?”

“There is a reason I don't follow these flame threads. I should know better than to post on them.”

“You and me both, pal.”

“Wash. Man Says He Killed Child Rapists
Sep 6, 4:44 PM (ET)
By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP

BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) - A man who turned himself in and said he killed two convicted child rapists might have been motivated by a notorious case in Idaho in which two children were abducted in mid-May.

Michael Anthony Mullen called police Monday to turn himself in and later confessed to killing Hank Eisses and Victor Vasquez on Aug. 27, officers said.

"One possible reason was the case in Idaho," police Lt. Craige Ambrose told The Associated Press. Ambrose wouldn't elaborate, saying the case was still under investigation.

Mullen was booked into jail for investigation of murder pending a court appearance.

Police said they believe Mullen's claim that he killed the two registered sex offenders because he knew details only the killer would know. He knew that the victims were each shot once in the head, and he knew the caliber of the weapon.

"Mullen also said that he had planned the murders for some time and that on July 13, 2005, he had accessed the Whatcom County Sheriff's sex offender Web site, and from that selected at least one of the two victims," according to a police department news release.

As is typical in Washington, the sheriff's Web site lists the residences of sex offenders who are required to register with local authorities.

Mullen, 36, has a criminal record but no history of violence, Ambrose said.

In the Idaho case, Joseph Edward Duncan is accused of fatally beating three people with a hammer in a home outside Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in order to abduct two children for sex.

He was arrested July 2 at a restaurant with one of the children, 8-year-old Shasta Groene. Remains of her 9-year-old brother, Dylan, were found in a Montana forest two days later.

According to police, Mullen said he mailed a letter about the Bellingham killings to several news outlets last week. The Bellingham Herald, the daily newspaper in this college and mill town of about 71,000, reported Thursday that the letter threatened other sexual predators.

"He said there are more letters forthcoming," Ambrose said of Mullen's confession.

Eisses, 49, and Vasquez, 68, were found shot to death at their apartment Aug. 27. They were both classified as Level 3 sex offenders, the type considered most likely to re-offend.

Their bodies were found by a roommate, also a sex offender, who said a man wearing a blue jumpsuit and a cap that said "FBI" came to their apartment, told them he was an FBI agent and said he wanted to discuss their status as sex offenders.

The supposed federal agent told them that one of them was on a "hit list," police said.

The roommate said he left while the FBI impostor was still there and he found the bodies when he returned about four hours later.

Vasquez was convicted in 1991 of molesting several relatives, according to court documents. He was released from prison about two years and remained under Department of Corrections supervision.

Eisses was sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison in 1997 for raping a 13-year-old boy. He was released from supervision about two years ago, said Kit Bail, Corrections Department field supervisor for Whatcom County.”

“Terrorists must be observing the failure of Homeland Security and be emboldened. With Homeland Security preoccupied with the Katrina fiasco, terrorists must be thinking the guard is down. If they were planning another attack on American soil now would be the time, particularly with the anniversary of 9/11.”

“President Lincoln owned slaves...
whats the pedo killer got to do with this?

In the end it is always the individual who is responsible for their own well being. It doesnt take a genuis to figure out that a cat 5 storm is gonna wipe the place out and LEAVE...

Personally I beleive the less goverment the better. Before we had welfare there were charities that people actually gave to willingly. Everytime the goverment takes over a function it does less and costs much more. What a person could do for himself with a dollar can be done by the state for 10 dollars and the feds for the low price of 100 dollars.”

Geobeet

havent heard of volunteer firemen I guess... wouldnt bother me for a second if the lions club sent a qualified pilot for search and rescue.”

“Oh, volunteer firefighters have helicopters now? Hot damn!”

“Volunteer firefighters have access and training on the same equipment that full time firefighters do, up to and including aircraft.”

“Which is exactly how many aircraft???”

“However many that particular fire department that they are attached to may have. Many city and county fire departments have aircraft in their inventory.”

“I know that the volunteers in Northern CA, both firefighters and SAR personal, have trained with the National Guard choppers as well as the CHP ships.

Many of the volunteer SAR groups train with the CHP ships on a regular basis, including Short Haul and rappelling.

CHP has two ships available in our area. The National Guard had Chinooks and Black Hawks to use, among others.

“He was using an old Clinton computer.”

“Does ANYONE remember when Homeland Security was called...CIVIL DEFENSE?

Typical Big Government types, you have a problem MAKE A GOVERNMENT SOLUTION. Whatever happened to "becuase there are more people than problems, the problems WILL get solved."”

“I've had very limited exposure to homeland security but ran across a bunch at a funeral in nyc. THey all were wearing uniforms & weapons. (tacky) We brought a prisoner there for the funeral & they tried to order us to let him remain longer. Really full-of-themselves & standofish.”

“Right. mention a past administrations wrong doings and everything is OK. It's all relative, eh?”

“A silent Michael Chertoff sits in his office in his ugly government office building. "Maybe they won't notice the check is short when we give it to them," he thinks to himself. "New Yorkers are so self-indulgent!"

He dreams on..."Perhaps we should give some to Orlando! You never know when that dirty bomb up Goofy's ass will go off," he muses.

"How about Fort Lauderdale? Those poor unfortunates are at great risk down there."
"It would be so easy for a terrorist wearing white shoes, a thick belt and a bad hairpiece to blend in at a bingo game and blow the beans off the winning card!" Chertoff gives himself a pat on the back for this clever bit of ingenuity.

"Let's see, a 40% decrease for the cities of Washington and New York seems appropriate. How about a 40% increase to protect the peanut farms of Georgia. How hard is it to hide a bomb in a bag of nuts? Easy for a wily little terrorist." Chertoff feels the little nub in his pants getting firmer. "Hmm," he thinks to himself. Maybe Mrs. Chertoff will be up for our annual round of nookie," he thinks with raised eyebrows.

He gets up, looks in the mirror at his image. "Hmmm, I'm looking more and more like Sean Connery every day," he says to himself, while combing the two hairs he has left on his head carefully over to the right side.

"And, let's not forget Wyoming. God knows where we'd be with a big hole in the middle of that state." Chertoff looks at his watch, just as the phone rings and his secretary tells him over the intercom that Pete King is on the phone and he's pissed. "Tell him I left for the day," he says. She complies as Chertoff heads for the door, kisses the picture of George Bush on his way out and does the best Sean Connery walk he can muster up.”

“Nice!”

“And people still insist it's best that government runs our healthcare system. Haha!

The government couldn't find it's ass with both hands and a blood hound.”

“there's been no attacks since 9/11...........since anthrax..............since snipers........there have been no known foreign attacks since 9/11 so I don't think we need any "Homeland Security".

besides, we've got all those purtty flower/barricade thingees in front of all the Fed offices and even Metal detectors at the Air & Space Museum so all's good.

I sleep well knowing such things as the Wright Flyer and The space suits worn by Buzz and Neil on the Moon are safe from terrorists.”

“Well coincidental that there's no winnable seats for certain people in NY and DC?”

“How very pre-911 of you Bearmag.”

“Homeland Security has prevented many domestic attacks.”

“Screwing the pooch has indeed prevented many attacks, more than can be counted.”

“Whatever works.”
