We need another police force? Why? Who exactly needs watching or enforcing that can’t be achieved with the agencies in place now. Do we really want our president, to have a police force that answers only to him?
This will require a lot of Koolaid to swallow this pile of crap.
hmmmmmm..... comfort at the teat of the Obamasia or fight to the death.
I think most will suck hind teat rather than risk comfort. It will take soup lines, disease and a break down of chain of command for any of the TEOTWAWKI scenarios to take place.
And it will take a lot of soup lines. A lot of disease. Mucho suffering. Before the comfortable become uncomfortable enough to finally do something. People sat and waited for help in a stadium and died instead of getting up and walking out, while some government (Mayor/Governor) officials played politics.
The blame does not rest on FEMA or Bush. It is on us. People waited in squalor rather than walk.
This is the "Suck Hind Teat" mindset. Let the government do the hard work. Where's my stuff.
Several years ago, a small tornado hit my home with my wife, my mother-in-law and myself in the home. No warning. I stood in the living room transfixed as half the roof lifted off and could see rain, stars, lightning and tree branches blowing in and out. Some of my belongings ended up over 4 miles away.
Afterwords, there was no government to help out, no Red Cross, I put a temporary roof up with tarps donated by a local carpenter and with the help of neighbors and passerbys. I lived with a temporary roof for many weeks till I had earned the money (no insurance) to put a proper roof up. Later, volunteers helped rebuild my roof. We bought new belongings.
I didn't p*ss or whine or bemoan the lack of government help. I celebrated the glorious fact that I was alive as were my loved ones and that I had friends, neighbors and strangers, now friends, who were willing to take their time to help my family.
That is the America I love.
After re-reading my missive above, I should make it clear that I was not refering to the sick, elderly, disabled or children in that stadium. People needed to get up and help each other. Neighbors, friends, strangers needed to help each other.
I can find no scenario where I wouldn't beg, borrow or steal a vehicle or vehicles to get out or walk till I could not feel my feet, or drag on a travois with the sick or elderly. What ever it takes.
These people were lied to by their local government. Taken to a place where the government said they would take care of them and these folks believed the government.
I would not wait 12 hours without water. We are our brothers keeper. We cannot survive alone. We need each other. Not empty promises.
The scariest thing I can think of to hear in a crisis is: I'm from the government and here to help.
Homeland Security Force!
