Whoever thought the DHS was a good idea must have been quite the facist.
Like we didn't know this was going to go bad.

It looks like these are being used by DHS elements that work with local law enforcement but DAMN! Between drones, 2 billion rounds of ammo and now MRAP's it's getting more than a little uncomfortable to be in disagreement with the government on pretty much anything.
Well, it's fine, because you have a right to wield guns, which is going to help you fight them.
I really, really dislike people/groups who try to intimidate me. And that's what I view the accumulation of things like this as.
Both the Democrat and Republican Parties had just held conventions at which wine was served. About $5,500 worth of wine was consumed at one event, about $3,500 worth of wine at the other. I don't remember which side drank more. Both sides had agreed the year before, that a $500 bottle of wine was an unreasonable expense for taxpayers, and a limit had been set of $50 per bottle. So $9,000 worth of wine was 450 bottles. A bottle of wine holds 6 servings. (450 x 6 equals 2,700 servings) About 75 Congressmen were not in attendance. I'll assume the Congressmens' spouses were near them. 520 Congressmen minus 75 equals 445. X 2, equals 890. 890 people drank 2,700 servings of wine. It would take 3 hours to metabolize that much wine. The wine did not flow until about 30 minutes before the 9/11 attack, and it took about 30 minutes for the alcohol to hit their bloodstreams. Congress had formed DHS and the Patriot Act within 4 hours of the 9/11 attack. More than an hour was spent on debating and voting, so all legislation was done before anyone had time to sober up. Assuming every Congressman NOT in attendance of the parties, showed up at the meeting, then 75 of the 440 Congresmen who created DHS and the Patriot Act were sober. That's a minority vote.Whoever thought the DHS was a good idea must have been quite the facist.
