Safety at any cost = bureaucratic boondoggle
December 8, 2012 at 1:44 pm in News by Dustin Siggins 103 Comments
Yesterday, Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) released a report discussing $35 billion in Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spending over the last decade. In the report, Coburn excoriated inefficient and corrupt spending that has zero benefit to the American people. From Coburn’s office’s press release:
U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) today released an oversight report, “Safety at Any Price: Assessing the Impact of Homeland Security Spending in U.S. Cities.” The report is based on a year-long investigation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant programs and the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI).
More than $35 billion has been spent on DHS grant programs since 2003 with the intent to make Americans safer from terrorist attacks. However, 10 years later, DHS has been unable to establish goals or metrics to ensure that funds were used to make Americans safe, and cannot accurately measure how much safer we are today after spending $35 billion.
“At a time when our $16 trillion national debt is our greatest national security threat, we must make sure that all programs, especially those meant to prevent terrorism, are achieving their mission. This report shows that too often so-called security spending is making our nation less secure by directing scarce dollars to low-priority projects and low-risk areas,” Dr. Coburn said.
The report can be read in full here but for those who don’t have the time, Washington Examiner reporter Mark Flatten has more details:
Money has been wasted in big cities and small, according to Coburn. Chicago and other Cook County, Illinois, governments spent $45.6 million in DHS grants to install surveillance cameras throughout the city and in police cars between 2003 and 2009. The project never worked and was eventually abandoned.
Fargo, N.D., is one of many cities that used federal homeland security money to buy an armored vehicle, complete with a rotating gun turret, at a cost of $256,000.
So far, the costly vehicle has only been used for training and appearances at the annual Fargo picnic, where it was displayed near a children’s bounce house, according to the report.
The tiny town of Keane, N.H., justified its plan to buy a similar vehicle using DHS grant money by saying in its grant application that it could be used to protect the annual Pumpkin Festival.
DHS is defending its dollars, of course:
DHS officials disagreed with Coburn’s findings. Money from agency grants has been used by state and local governments to improve resources used to respond to natural disasters, and coordinate information-sharing on terror threats, spokesman Matt Chandler said in a written statement.
Changes proposed in the 2013 budget will require a “more targeted approach to grant funding,” as well as enhanced accountability requirements to ensure money is properly spent, Chandler said.
According to Flatten, oversight and co-investments by recipient governments are not required for the DHS funding the report examined:
Local governments are not required to put up any money of their own. They also are not required to demonstrate how the money would make them safer from terrorism.
So explanations like using 13 Sno-Cone machines to generate ice packs in a medical disaster was enough for Montcalm County, Mich., officials to justify the cost, pegged at $6,200 in the Coburn report but $11,700 in local news accounts.
The zombie skit provided training on how to deal with “extreme medical situations where people become crazed and violent, creating widespread fear and disorder,” according to the justification cited in the report.
In the grand scheme of things, $35 billion over a decade is not a lot of money. It’s less than one percent of this year’s budget, for example. But I’m sure the American people would prefer to have used that $112.18 per citizen ($35 billion divided by 312 million Americans) on food, or movie tickets, or pretty much anything besides zombie attack training and Sno-Cone machines. It’s just one more example why the federal government needs to be much, much smaller.
The DHS waste is indicative of the wasteful spending in all areas of our government. We need to reduce the size of our federal government in every area. We need to eliminate waste and hold the government accountable. Grant money should never be available on a “here it is come and get it” attitude that allowed the waste listed above. How does a armored vehicle, complete with a rotating gun turret make Americans safer? Who will you be shooting at?
The TP racists are the enemy of the Federalist Modern Republican party, the enemy of the Modern Democrats, and the enemy of the Independents.
Join with me to eradicate the party of the racists, state’s righters, as we propel into the 21st century. With them gone, the racism and mistakes of the past can be completely forgotten. The drum of the last echoes of the people preventing progress are making their final call.
With no TP, we can go into 3 centuries of egalitarianism, and the issues of the past diminished greatly. Science can flourish as can technology, and America can flourish as it increases its strength in these fields and professions.
“racist”??

I have 101 screenshots of Tea Party racism and sexism from only 38 pages of the TeaParty.org, only going back 2 months to the beginning of October. and this site also. That’s probably around 1000 comments as there are sometimes dozens in a single screenshot. They are at the link above and I can email them to anyone who wants a closer look.
The evidence is truth.
Lisa you may find a few people that make racist comments like Jerry (who I still think is a plant) however that is not what the Tea Party is about. But by far most of the hate from posters and the offensive comments are from visitors not members
Kristine: The TP was founded in 2009 and at the same time TeaParty.org was created. The founder of that website is a well-known racist.

“Dale Robertson, the vitriolic founder and president of TeaParty.org, blasted out a mass E-mail today that seemed meant to convince doubters that his movement is, after all, racist at its core…”

Look Kristine at TP Wasilla Will’s comments he wants Jerry to JOIN the TP. He doesn’t even care about his comments. If he REALLY cared he would say SHUT UP AND GET OUT WE DON’T WANT YOU HERE.
Egalitarianism is a noble idea but it does not work. As history shows power corrupts and the bigger the government the more power. The fight between right and left is in essence the fight between trusting individuals and governments. My personal experience taught me that when you have a big government you automatically have less of a voice and there is less involvment in the daily life of the community. Egalitarianism does not happen whether you are a democrat or a republican. The only thing we may have in USA 2012 as a result of choosing conservativism over liberalism is a society based on merit and opportunities.
“Fascism is considered by certain scholars to be right-wing because of its social conservatism and authoritarian means of opposing egalitarianism.[40][41]
Roderick Stackleberg places fascism—including Nazism, which he says is “a radical variant of fascism”—on the right, explaining that “the more a person deems absolute equality among all people to be a desirable condition, the further left he or she will be on the ideological spectrum. The more a person considers inequality to be unavoidable or even desirable, the further to the right he or she will be.”[42]” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
Members of the TP do not care how many times they get labeled as racist or sexist because it does not matter to them. A true non-racist or non-sexist person would stay clear of a movement with one ounce of these traits.
IN-equality, for them, as extremists on the right, is acceptable or even Desirable.
You could throw 10,000 pieces of evidence of TP racism and sexism in their faces. You could throw their OWN racism and sexism in their faces. It does not matter to them. They are extremists.
Liberals are all communist wannabes and pedophiles. Prove me wrong.
I’d say TP barnslayer is a slave driver. Prove me wrong.
Blue… your comment proves my point. Just because someone says something doesn’t make it true. The liberals have made wild accusations against anyone who disagrees with them. These accusations are on TV, in the papers and on blogs. They are never substantiated.
All the TP say the president is a muslim and born in Kenya. They say he is the anti-christ. They say he is gay. They say he is a woman. They say he is an oreo (black and white mix). They say he is a communist. They say he is a socialist. They say he is a Nazi. They say he has ties to the muslim brotherhood. They say he is an illegal immigrant made for deportation. They say candy crawly and he are in bed together (that’s sexist). They say he has fake birth certificates, fake I.D., fake school records, fake everything. They say his wife faked law school (that’s sexist). They say his wedding ring is a islamic ring. The only true thing they say is he is black.
Reader – Do you have anything more credible and original than your aspersions about Tea Party Patriots like me? Linking meaningless photos and articles written by leftist media types is not very thoughtful or reflective of serious effort on your part.
Those pictures are of comments from HUNDREDS of TP members. That’s not just “a few.” The definition of “a few” is three. HUNDREDS is not “three” HUNDREDS is “MANY.”
Also, if you look at one of the pages there are racist comments about immigrants on YOUR site as well. Also, MANY people who frequent this site frequent that site as well. MORE TP frequent the other site. If you look on YOUR facebook page, you see the same racist and sexist comments there as well. IT REPRESENTS THE TP
Libertarians seem overly concerned with their right to abuse narcotics.
The TP has Libertarian lunatics who want narcotics and no police, and racists and sexists, Anglo-Saxon supremacists who focus strangely on Hillary Clinton and call all blacks who argue with them on welfare and go back to Kenya. “Like my grandfather said, we should have picked all the cotton ourselves!” Like what other Secretary of State had this much attention? I can think of no one.
You’re an idiot, Blue. If you really want to know what the TEA Party wants, read the Constitutioin. Additionally, we want fiscal sanity. Plans for government that require money to grow on trees aren’t very popular with the TEA Party.
Unless the GOP supports the Tea Party we should start a new party and dump the GOP. We need much lower taxes and less spent on the poor and the old. Mexicans should all be deported at once. The poor should be moved to old military camps to get them out of cities
You are racist, anti-poor, and anti-geriatric.
Jerry – I can tell by what you write, that like me, you love our country and want what’s best for it. Tea Party Patriots has a mission statement and a core principal statement which are completely unrelated to your repetitive exhortations of what should be done with the poor, old and Mexicans living here in our nation. I would like to see us bring people into the Tea Party so that we might elect like minded representatives. Once elected in sufficient numbers, power will return to the people. Won’t you join me?
TP Wasilla Will: “Jerry – I can tell by what you write, that like me, you love our country and want what’s best for it……Won’t you join me?”
What the….?! Did you even READ what he WROTE?!?!?!?! He wouldn’t even care if all Mexicans, the poor, and the elderly were all killed off and you want him to JOIN you?!?!
You people are lunatics! Terrorists! American Taliban!
It’s REPULSIVE that you would want a dirtbag like Jerry in your group. You people are LOWER than LOW
Blue – Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated

President Obama is not black, he is mulatto:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mulatto?s=ts&ld=1125
mu·lat·to
[muh-lat-oh, -lah-toh, myoo-] Show IPA
noun, plural mu·lat·toes, mu·lat·tos.
1. the offspring of one white parent and one black parent: not in technical use.
2. a person whose ancestry is a mixture of Negro and caucasian.
Lest you forget and for what it’s worth, he was raised by his maternal grandparents who were caucasian.
Jerry, you and I can agree that we need a break from the GOP, however the government does not have the right to move the poor anywhere. They have the same rights that you and I do. Also deporting all Mexicans is not practical. I live in a border state. Illegal immigration is a huge problem. I think we start with closing the border. All recent Illegal immigrants should and could be sent back. What do we do with the families that have children born here? What do we do with the children who came here with their families and have been educated here? Your simplistic solution is not practical. We need real solutions that can be carried out not just rhetoric.
It’s not my falult Mexicans came here or got born here. They should go back to their own country. We don’t need more race mixing
Clearly Jerry you are not here for the Tea Party. Either you are just a racist or you are a plant who is faking either way you and your racism don’t really belong here.
Mexicans are not Americans. They did not get here legally. The law says they don’t belong here. Should we not respect the law? You sound like some one world socialist. You politically correct GOPism is why we lost the election
There are many Hispanics who have been in this country and citizens of this country for many generations. You Jerry have apparently found the wrong website. The Tea Party does not support your racist point of view. As I said before I doubt you are genuine you are likely a plant from the left spewing your posts to give them more fodder for their arguments. You will not find support for your anger and racist post here.
Kristene, Hispanics who are citizens are not Mexicans, they are Americans, they were either naturalized or born on us soil. I’m talking about illegals who broike our laws to be here. They do no belong here. Send they hone!!!
Another question, who elected you to decide with the Tea Party thinks? Do you own it or did somebody put you in charge of “correct” opionions? If so the rest of us can shut up and you can tell us what to think. Go back to the GOP where they do that all the time.
You are also racist.
makes me sick and to think when Washington and all the earlier Senators etc did it all free for the people under God and In God We Trust. They didn’t get paid ,they did it all free for their country. How many do you think would be left if they didn’t get paid and the pocket money ,none would be left !!!!!!!! Why spend billions of dollars to get a $500,000.00 job a year.We the people are letting obama and all his crooks destroy our country that I and a lot of people have fought to keep it free.I’m ready to take our country back or you ????
Lee, if we could all arm ourselves with large caliber weapons and at least 1000 rounds of ammunition we could start to take America. The Civil War really stated when John Brown seized Harpers Ferry. It would only take a few dozen to take over an IRS office and announce a free state of Patriots on the Land. Others would follow. All revolutions start small. Think of the French Revolution
John Brown was an Abolitionist fighting against the South and slavery. The Civil war didn’t start until a year later. No one here is interested in taking up arms and beginning a war.
Kristene, Read a good history book on what led up to the actual Civil War and when and why.
Lee and I think something needs to be done to save America. If you can’t take any action then go back to your knitting!!!
Knitting? You are also sexist and/or anti-geriatric.
You go first
“Jerry” cut the crap. I’ve had enough of your sorry ass Archie Bunker routine. You are not a conservative.
DHS should be replaced by private companies at the airports. You can get a private security guard for $10 an hour. They can check luggage for bombs. We don’t need the government involved. There are so many useless government agencies: FEMA, DEA, FBI, CIA, IRS. These could all be done better by state or local governemnt or private enterprise.
This is violent.
Lisa, There is huge waste in DHS and most parts of governement. Things woudl be cheaper if private companies were used. They could run prisons, the police, the FBI and the CIA.
Remove the police, FBI, and CIA and then they cannot investigate you for racist tactics.
I found Victor Burkley interesting. He went into rants about ango-saxism numerous times and dripped of sexism. He could even be part of the KKK.
Lisa, The FBI could work much better if it was privatized….turned over to private companies. Waste and corruption would be eliminated. Why do you think the military used private security contractors like BlackWater in Iraq? They are less expensive and do a better job then a 19 year old soldier.
No what you WANT IS LIKE THE MAFIA. That’s how the security field is run, by private parties. That’s terrorism.
WHAT JERRY WANTS: POLITICAL CORRUPTION:
1) Lacking control of the government.
Lacking civic society and non-governmental organizations which monitor the government.
Weak civil service, and slow pace of reform.
Weak rule of law.
Weak legal profession.
Weak judicial independence.
Lacking protection of whistleblowers.

This often gets ludicrous. Obama gets virtually 100 percent of votes from the black population, and the Democrats execute the tactic of trying to pin the label “racist” on their most significant opposition.
I assure you 100 percent of the black population aren’t Marxists, like Obama.
I assure you 100 percent of the black population don’t like the idea of Obama inviting the radical Wahabist Arab terrorist group Muslim Brotherhood into the White House routinely.
I assure you 100 percent of the black population don’t believe in taking what they want from the portion of the population earning what they have.
So, what is the real reason Obama gets virtually 100 percent of the black vote?
Those posting accusations of racism here are displaying evidence of what psychologists call “projection”.
TP Wasilla Will: “Jerry – I can tell by what you write, that like me, you love our country and want what’s best for it……Won’t you join me?”
What the….?! Did you even READ what he WROTE?!?!?!?! He wouldn’t even care if all Mexicans, the poor, and the elderly were all killed off and you want him to JOIN you?!?!
You people are lunatics! Terrorists!
Jerry is playing make believe. He is one of your liberal friends. The TEA Party wants reduced government waste. The liberals want the government to run everything. Except of course the unions and the entertainment industry. All liberals need to become self-employed and learn about life.
Jerry IS a part of the TP. If you click on HIS profile you will SEE that he has THREE friends on this site and in ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX GROUPS. Why would a supposed “plant” have friends on here AND be in a 136 groups??? To have “friends” on a website it has to be MUTUAL meaning they have to send a request and receive an acceptance. He IS one of YOUR own.
Jerry may be registered (not hard to do) but he is not espousing TEA Party beliefs. The TEA Party is concerned with government waste and as such is open to all Americans. Whether you are self-employed (like me) or an employee or unemployed… how the government uses OUR money is all of our business. Jerry sounds like a racist but I guess he is acting the part (google or youtube Archie Bunker).
Archie Bunker is a TV Character…
And the TP is a euphemism for racism and sexism. That’s like saying “well they (the Tea Party and their racist signs) are just angry about the economy.”
Time Wise will tell it to you straight to your face.

Barnslayer, I’m honored to meet the cheif of the Pea Party thought police…..telling everyone what to think. Will you be in charge of the FEMA detention camps?
I agree Barnslayer Jerry is an imposter. He doesn’t support Tea Party ideas.
Jerry is SUCH a TRUE TP person. He would probably be its founder. Your first rallies had racist and sexist signs. That’s the foundation of the TP get over it. And the same racist and sexist comments can STILL be seen today. The websites are still asking to see the presidents birth certificate and calling his mother a liar.
Jerry, you can believe what you damned well please and voice it as well. That’s called the freedom of speech. As a constitutional conservative I believe I have the right to disagree with and criticize what you say. I have not threatened you for saying anything so save the FEMA garbage talk for the liberals. If nothing else, FEMA is a waste of money and should be totally defunded.
TP Barnslayer you are also the same person who asked Suzy about her weight. Meaning you are sexist too!
Fair enough. Suzy was using unsubstantiated accusations in response to my two moms joke (which if you reread was not misogynistic… lesbians do as I described). I decided to feed her some of her own medicine with unfair generalizations and implications. From my experience in the greater NY area disproportionate number of nurses are morbidly obese. I find this odd considering their chosen field. This comment may not be kind but it is based on observation. It is however not sexist since I commented based on Suzy’s major not her gender. If anything it was an insult towards nurses. There are many fat male orderlies but that comparison would have been illogical. There is nothing sexist in inquiring about someones weight.
Oh right, like making an insult about ALL nurses (who are STILL 98% female) is NOT sexist or ANY better than it being an insult to ALL women. HA!
The fact that you thought of two moms is also sexist. Why didn’t you just say two dads? There is something else there! Then you go on and talk about weight of nurses who are mostly female. HA!!!
Blue, reread the context of the joke. Someone said conservatives are “eating each other”. Do I need to draw you a picture? The only nurses insulted by my comment would be the fat ones. As I said, there seems to be a higher than normal obesity problem in that field. How is it sexist? Lots of overweight women that aren’t nurses. Lats of overweight men too. If you need to drop some weight that’s your problem but you need to learn to read more closely.
I guess if I insult someone who belongs to a minority I become a sexist or racist. I would vote for any racial/sexual minority person as long as they are conservative. You liberals call black conservatives by all sorts of foul racist names. You can’t have it both ways.
The fact that you think of obesity = women = a good insult is sexism. Would you call a man “fat”? No. It is based off looks. You see this all of the time with sexism: downgrade them by focusing and insulting them on their looks. It makes them look like air heads, unintelligent. THAT is sexism.
And I weight 125 pounds and walk a mile nearly each day. If you can’t wrap your head around that some people actually CARE about others and WANT to stand up for them and defend them, that’s your problem and it seems to be the TP’s problem of acting extremely Machiavelli. And those TP people like Allen West are SAMBOS. They are SAMBOS because people like you could care less about their race and only vote for them to continue your own interests: white. Many topics they “agree with” are racist, sexist, incorporated.
What does weight have to do with nursing? Tell me people. You cannot. It’s sexist.
I’m begining to think this place is a front for the Communist party…..with the thought police busy defining who is “true” to the Tea Party. Now I admit that Blue seems illogical at times but Kristene and Barnslayer are pretty strange too
Only people are are extremists immediately think “communist” for anything or anyone who disagrees. Also, it is racist. The John Birch Society was against the Civil Rights Movement and claimed it was communist.
Jerry, coming from you, I consider that a compliment.
Blue,
I joined just about every TPP group in my state in the hope of findinng some activity, some events to attend. Sadly there is nothing going on. I don’t understand it. What was an activist movement changing America two years ago is now so quiet. I mean petitions is OK but that is not going to change anything.
Does anyone klnow what happened?
THEY ALL KNOW THAT YOU ARE RACIST EXTREMISTS AND SEXISTS.
I mean just LOOK at this page and the 101 screenshots of probably 1000 comments made in just 2 months. Imagine what it would be for 3 years. 12 months in a year, 6000 comments a year. multiply that by 3 = 18,000. Thousands of different people too. And that is ONLY counting TeaParty.org and here. That doesn’t even count the other EXTREMLY minor websites and the TPP Facebook page which has so much racism and sexism on every article it’s not even funny.
Blue, What you see as racist is just the opinion of free Citizens on the Land. No Tea Party group has a racist official position. The Tea Party welcomes people of all races, religions, ages sexes and sexual perferances (unless they are gay and want to marry)
Why would ANYONE who is not white want to walk into a TP rally and see pictures of people who look like them in monkey costumes? Then hear racist jokes about them? Or a “hush hush, lets be quiet about our racism right now because they’re not white, but behind their backs we’ll continue with our racism…” feeling. Or be worried about saying anything “for the president” or disagreeable or else 20 TP people will jump on them and tell them to leave (or do that in their heads, which is clearly shown online). HA! SURE!
The GREAT thing about online places like Facebook and comment boards is that you can see the REAL thoughts in their heads because people online are much more bold about their actual thoughts or on paper (like signs) than in person or speaking. (except TP people are so racist, they DON’T care if their REAL names are placed next to the comments) It REALLY tells you the TRUTH. Then again, TP members are so extreme often they will say their racism OUTLOUD without any hesitation, seen in numerous interviews. Like “muslim” is a euphemism for “black” and “born in Kenya” is a euphemism for racism and white superiority.
Blue, Costumes are just theater. People dress up like Ben Franklin too
Costumes are just theater? What is someone dressed like the KKK, is that just theater too?
We could get rid of the DEA and save a lot of money. Ron Paul was for legal drugs.
Here is what other countries did:
5 Years After: Portugal’s Drug Decriminalization Policy Shows Positive Results
In the face of a growing number of deaths and cases of HIV linked to drug abuse, the Portuguese government in 2001 tried a new tack to get a handle on the problem—it decriminalized the use and possession of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, LSD and other illicit street drugs. The theory: focusing on treatment and prevention instead of jailing users would decrease the number of deaths and infections.
Five years later, the number of deaths from street drug overdoses dropped from around 400 to 290 annually, and the number of new HIV cases caused by using dirty needles to inject heroin, cocaine and other illegal substances plummeted from nearly 1,400 in 2000 to about 400 in 2006, according to a report released recently by the Cato Institute, a Washington, D.C, libertarian think tank.
You want to legalize drugs? If you want legal drugs, go to Mexico. Oh wait, you HATE Mexicans. HA! Racist.
Blue,
Yes an adult should be free to make their own choice on drugs: wine, pot, coffee, speed, LSD. Why are you so afraid of freedom? Is the government some kind of parental figure for you? Freedom is people making their own choice. Have courage….choose to be free
Speed and LSD?
Drugs lead to crime!

All drugs should be totally legal. They can be taxed like tobacco and make the governemnt billions. If you don’t like it don’t use it….like tobacco. The War on Drugs is a total failure. It’s time to get smart. Read up on Ron Paul.

2nd Tea Party Wave
We need a new wave of action in the streets to recover from the election. Get people motivated. Protest ObamaCare.
Idea: Designate May 1 as Job Creators Day to honor those who make our economy possible. There could be parades. We could give awards to large companies
What do you think?
GO TO JAIL YOU DRUG USER!! HAHAHAHAHHA
A good way to throw rabid racists in jail who are anti-government extremists: catch them with drugs. GOOD BYE HAHAHAHA
If I could find the location of your IP address. I could tell your police that I think I found a drug user of speed and LSD, maybe even other drugs. Maybe even a drug lord. That’s a crime meant for prison time!
Then no more racist and sexist person on the streets!
That’s why you hate the police and the government, you are a CRIMINAL! Yes, TP you attract extremists, ever since the VERY Beginning.
The cops in my town already use drugs that I sell them, so good luck with that
Is that satire?
Then I’d just call someone from the federal level or state level. When the local level fails, go to the state, when the state level fails, go to the federal level.
That means the FBI
Typical response from someone who promotes a totalitarian government.
Governments are not without corruption. That is why each agency in the federal government has a charter written defining its jurisdictions.
For any investigation to be legally conducted by any federal agency, it must fall under the jurisdiction described in the charter approved by Congress.
Period. End of statement.
No, the FBI or BATF or DHS or any other agency can’t just stick its egomaniacal nose into whatever it decides it’s interested in. It must be in accordance with what the goddam law says it can do.
You say things no different what the German people heard when Hitler came to power. Perhaps you have the same intent.
You DBWriter are the most idiotic person ever. It’s like talking to a brick wall.
The only people afraid of the government are criminals or those fleeing from the IRS. Maybe you have some taxes you need to pay..
Blue is a fraud
There is talk about a peaceful disruption of the inauguration on January 18th.
January 18th will be too late. We had better be there on January 6, the day the House of Representatives select the Speaker of the House for the next Congress. If Boehner retains the Speaker position, we will loose the Constitution. He has already offered it up to the Democrats in negotiations. Specifically, giving up the Constitutionally-assigned authority and responsibility of Congress to borrow money in the name of the government, and giving that authority to the president as if we’re some medieval fiefdom inhabited by serfs bound to the land.
The Constitution is not negotiable.
We need to make that very, very clear to the government. It is imperative that the government understands that the Constitution is not negotiable.
Our county council tonight approved an additional appropriation for the Sheriff to the tune of $185,213 Port Security Grant. Monies used for command center computer etc.
Newest show and tell at our 4-H Fair this year!!
Lisa is a person who was left behind because she was a little too crazy to be accepted as a TPP participating member. We do that. WE have too. They are often the ones who are unaccepting of anything unless it is exactly what they want. EXAMPLE. The Tea Party Patriots does not include social issues. Especially religious issues, which was advised to us by some of the biggest religious leaders in the nation. However I believe she was un-accepting of any religion, period! other than her own that is. Not accepting of gays either because they are an abomination to God, when all the issue was the GOPProud organization was endorsement of their effort to ask Congress to concentrate on Fiscal Issues and stay away from the social issues.
What I don’t understand is how anyone who is for individual rights can also be against the right for people to do whatever they want with their own bodies. If we don’t have the right to do what we wish to our own body, including using narcotics, or choosing to die, do we have any rights at all? I am not a drug user. I don’t even like prescription drugs, but I do feel that it is not the job of government to prevent me from doing so. Just a thought. I hope you all survive 2013.
