simplicimus: I've been upset since I found out I have a Homeland, instead of a country.

Should have gone with "Fatherland". At least that way I wouldn't get it confused with the Department of Human Services all the time.

The DHS wants rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shiat-kickers and Methodists.

captcaveman: This is indeed fail boat of George W Bush. Why not just absorb the whole department into the FBI and CIA and close down Home Land Security already?

Because GW thought the novel 1984 was a how-to guide, and inertia is one of the strongest forces in the Universe.

CMYK and PMS: untaken_name: simplicimus: I've been upset since I found out I have a Homeland, instead of a country.

I was pretty upset when I found out that the government of the United States, along with every state and local government, was incorporated. Then I read the legal definition of a "note" in Black's Law Dictionary, looked in my wallet, and I got even more upset. That tends to happen when you get a glimpse of the real world.

Wait til you find out about the Reptilians. it will blow your mind!

Yes, because research using a law dictionary is SO CRAZY. It's just like believing in aliens! Who'd ever need to look in a law dictionary anyway? No one uses those, right?

way south: crab66: Dupa: crab66: Good job Republicans.

At least Obama got them under control, and restored our liberties, when he got to office,

So vote Republican.

Because we need people to continue not fixing our problems.
Oh, wait, you can get that with either party.

Yeah, but one of them actively seeks to create even more problems, and is the one who created all our current problems... Sure, the other isn't the greatest at fixing the mess left for them to cleanup as fast as we'd all like, but at least they're not actively trying to worsen the situation... If the choice is between evil or incompetence, I'll take the latter...

"A Border Patrol agent in Arizona "punched a fellow agent and threatened him with his service-issued weapon after the fellow agent joked about the excessive amount of tactical gear the [Border Patrol] routinely wore," according to the report."

Subby, I wet my pants after 9/11. My convictions went out the window. I am willing to accept the most draconian or even worthless theater measures in stride because I love America. You don't even want to know how much I love this country and the Constitution I'm willing to subvert for it. If it weren't for liberals whining so much, we'd have a version of the TSA at every state fair, keeping our children safe.

I don't know why you hate America, but maybe you should move to Canada or something.

Those were the days. I remember when I first heard the name. "Homeland? Seriously? Homeland?" Now it doesn't even register as the Orwellian name it is.

Fatherland wouldn't work work too well. We are all immigrants or children of immigrants, except for Amer-Indians, who are also immigrants.
