Homeland Security Takes a Day Off

By Doug Powers  •  December 20, 2010 10:09 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

On ABC’s World News Tonight, Diane Sawyer talked with the Obama Administration’s national security team, including Janet “Swifty” Napolitano. The topic of discussion concerned possible terrorist attacks on or around Christmas (if you’ll forgive the expression).

I’ll sleep better tonight, because Napalitano reminded viewers that “thousands of people are working 24/7, 364 days a year to keep the American people safe.”

What’s the one day the DHS won’t be working? Napolitano’s not making it that easy for would-be man-caused disaster initiators — she’s keeping them guessing.

Fear not, however — If the DHS takes a day off, America won’t be left completely unguarded. Why do you think J-Nap’s been recruiting Walmart shoppers?

    I sleep rather well every night, not because of Janet N. but mainly due to John Browning, William Winchester, Samuel Colt, and various others of similar ilk.

    How do such STUPID people get in positions of power over us? OMG! This hideous woman just had a meeting with the Coast Guard about Environmental Justice and the effects of CLIMATE CHANGE on the Coast Guard’s efforts.

    OMG.

    I think this is all a dream. You all don’t exist. I’m going to wake up any minute now……

    Thanks, Michelle, for reminding me why I never watch ABC’s World News Tonight!

    In addition, I have developed an aversion to hearing the POTUS’s voice. I would rather scratch my nails on a chalkboard!

    Also, I cannot wait until the “lame ducks” go back to their PONDS!

    “We The People” deserve a break from the idiotic and embarassing Congress and the “appointees” and “czars” of the POTUS as soon as possible for at least a day or more! Plez! jb

    If I see Bin Laudin at my local Wal-Mart I hope to be carrying one of each as I call Secretary J-NO. But then this might be her one day off; what do we do then?

    Merry Christmans everyone, and a bountiful New Year. However; Napalitano reminded everyone that Global Warming was the number one issue. Guess things are getting to hot for the reigning politicos.

    THIS should be comforting, from Eric Holder:

    “And while it is not certain we will be hit, the American people, he told ABC News, “have to be prepared for potentially bad news.”

    What was uppermost on his mind, however, is the alarming rise in the number of Americans who are more than willing to attack and kill their fellow citizens.

    So, why is the US government at “war” on the citizens of the US? So they can control us, our weapons, our free-thinking. The enemy is not We The People, it’s them.

    I still cannot get used to the sight and sound of this fool being the head of the DHS. She appears to have a perpetually stupid look on her face. I get the same feeling when I see Nazi Pelosi, Al Franken in the Senate, or Hillary Clinton (apparently qualified to be SOS due to being the wife of a whore-dog, and a jilted spouse herself). It is absolutely surreal.

    Liberals and progressives suffer from Math Deficit Disorder:

    So why do liberals suffer so much from MDD, Math Deficit Disorder? The reason is very simple. Math is what is known as a hard science. It is based on facts that are demonstrable. Facts that are not subject to question. The facts are then used to prove relationships through the careful application of deductive reasoning. A proof is established that is beyond question.

    Liberals, however, don’t use deductive reasoning. They don’t use critical thinking skills at all. Liberalism is based entirely on feelings. An answer is correct or incorrect depending on how you feel about it. Logic has no place.

    If Bush had secured the border on September 12, 2001 and actually enforced employer sanctions vigorously and consistently since then, we’d be talking about a much smaller problem with ilegal aliens and many more would be willing to listen to some kind of compromise. It is the complete lack of enforcement that has doubled this problem in the last ten years that exposes the deceitful attempt at forcing us into another amnesty by flooding the country with illegal aliens. The cynical way we are told we will not get border security or enforcement until we give them amnesty is sickening.
    We won’t be fooled again.
    We remember 1986.
    No amnesty/regularization/guestworker until we see ACTUAL fences and ACTUAL enforcement. Let’s try that for a few years, then we’ll talk.
