HomeSec In the News
The U.S. Homeland Security bill is steamrolling through Congress, on target to be passed within a couple of days. Since its passage is guaranteed, in whatever form it finally ends up, lawmakers are attempting to tack on their own pet projects to the bill so they can ride its coattails. A CNet article mentions that a version of the Cyberspace Security Enhancement Act has been appended to the HomeSec bill. William Safire blasts the addition in the New York Times. The Times has another story on the bill that notes some of the corporate pork that is also being added to the bill.
Ken Lay and his band of thugs will get a fine and perhaps some time in a country club prison. OJ Simpson is a free man. It only makes sense that they put hackers in jail for life.. [/sarcasm]
Trolling is a art,
Baby, you ain't seen nothing if you think that single party control results in problems down south. If you want to know just how bad it can get with single party rule under different supposedly democratic systems, look no farther than this government.
Sure democracy in the USA has it's problems, but Winston Churchill's quote about democracy is particularly apt in your case.

Quit speculating, it makes you sound like a Daschle-clone fear-mongerer. Maureen Dowd isn't an authority on anything so quit buying into her fits of idiocy.
This is insight? Come on guys, this was idiocy, not insight.
Don't you get it? The best way to combat terrorism is to take away your citizens rights and treat them like terrorists.
Oh wait....that's a horrible idea. Ooops too late were fucked.
The citizens of this country had their chance when we voted recently. They fully knew based on party which group would be for retaining individual privacy and which group was out to demolish it.
There is no doubt that some sort of homeland security policy was going to be passed, but with people voting the way they did, they insured what we are seeing now.
I blame the people.
If you wanna get rich, you know that payback is a bitch
Time to start looking into Canadian job opportunities.
Maybe you can go live in a commune with Babs Streisand and the Baldwin brothers. Either way, the United States would be glad to rid itself of American-haters like you and your ilk.
This is laughable, yet pathetic.
You think you're being a patriot, but what you're doing is joining in on nationalistic hysteria much like Lenin and Hitler fed their revolutions with.
I love America more than you, and I cannot stand to see what it stands for eaten from within by these madmen that just want to blow up muslims and other people that don't follow their religion. They want to throw out the constitution and replace it with the Uniform Commercial Code. How can you call yourself a patriot when you're on the side of people like this???
Damn right I'm ashamed of my fellow Americans. Unfortunately they've all become too soft to care.
