Homeland Security Gearing Up
Good article from Forbes on ammunition and armored vehicles purchased by DHS. And considering the “Sequester Apocalypse”, he makes some valid points.
It is utterly inconceivable that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is planning a coup d’etat against President Obama, and the Congress, to install herself as Supreme Ruler of the United States of America. There, however, are real signs that the Department bureaucrats are running amok. About 20 years ago this columnist worked, for two years, in the U.S. Department of Energy’s general counsel’s office in its procurement and finance division. And is wise to the ways. The answer to “why would DHS need such a vehicle?” almost certainly is this: it’s a cool toy and these (reportedly) million dollar toys are being recycled, without much of a impact on the DHS budget. So… why not?
Why, indeed, should the federal government not be deploying armored personnel carriers and stockpiling enough ammo for a 20-year war in the homeland? Because it’s wrong in every way.

I never imagined that Not-From-This-Planet-Janet would consider a coup. Thanks for giving me one more reason to stay awake at night…
Tim – Full on LGTB take over of the country, The United States of San Francisco. I think we would have a fighting chance to put the coup down. Just hurl insults about shoes.
CTT,
Ya’ll talking about “Janet”.
Is that Janet Reno, maybe?
You know the woman who once stated:
“Waiting periods are only a step………Registration is only a step……..The prohibition of private firearms is the goal.”
