Republicans are going to shut down the Department Of Homeland Security and endanger us all...

All because President Obama doesn't want to break up a bunch of families, , most of whom are Latino.


Why do they hate America and why do they hate Latinos?

If nothing passed in time - at President Obama, the Democrats who stood fast, or the Republicans who forced it to the bitter end?

And who are they going to take it out on - regular travelers who are not involved in politics or the CPAC idiots who are cheering on the Republicans and Teapartiers?

I hope the CPAC delegates have interesting trips home!

I don't want anyone to be hurt by not being paid but I would love to see this department get downsized into smaller pieces.

because Dems want the Senate bill passed instead of an every three week fiasco.

They do love to push the drama for ratings. No reporter there has the guts to call this what it is... Holding our country at gunpoint for a bunch fawning Koch babies.

Shutting down DHS is just the beginning of their oligarchical grab to privatize everything and have NO government and NO regs. I wonder what they'll think when some people decide to crash the gates of their McMansions and there are no local and state police anymore to protect their asses?

That would be a good first step to reversing the trend toward a police state.

Don't rely on the government to protect you. Protect yourself.
