All America found out very quickly about the disturbed man who held people hostage at a New Hampshire office of the Hillary Clinton for President campaign and threatend to blow them all up with a bomb. Homeland Security didn’t know a damned thing about it, though.
In spite of having satellites spy on us from outer space…
In spite of listening to our telephone calls…
In spite of reading our emails and postal mails…
In spite of tracking the books we read…
In spite of having volunteer watch groups report “suspicious behavior” to the government…
In spite of using torture…
In spite of throwing people into prisons without habeas corpus, lawyers, or fair trials…
In spite of all the things that the Department of Homeland Security does in violation of our constitutional rights, a man was able to walk into the office of a major presidential candidate with what appeared to be a bomb. If a mentally unstable amateur could do it, anybody could do it, including a real terrorist, and Homeland Security apparently couldn’t do a damned thing about it.
If Homeland Security is taking away our constitutional rights in order to stop terrorist attacks, but is powerless to stop terrorist attacks anyway, why don’t we just take our constitutional rights back and shut down the Department of Homeland Security?
