Dept of Homeland Security 10 years from now?
The WH press spokesman says that our security and the way we are dealing with it is "evolving". Where will it be in the next ten years?

Will we still be "patted down"? Will it ever cease? Or are we doomed to be at war with terror forever? It has been almost ten years already.

What other freedoms will we surrender in the name of security and safety? What will we give up out of fear? It is easy to convince ourselves that it is "necessary". But, is it? Really?

The Department of Homeland Security is Nazi-like. It is very similar. And the people are sheeple. They will do whatever they are told. They will not fight their government.

This is the present world we live in. Where will we be in 10 years? I shudder to think.

1. 10 years from now will be............
worse than 1984.

We have allowed: Ourselves to be lied to, endless war, torture, wiretapping, war contractors, destruction of our public school system, the raising of the retirement age, the bleeding of the Social Security trust fund, murder, bank fraud, contractor theft, criminal government activity, hit squads, illegal trading on Wall Street, over throwing foreign elected governments, outsourcing of our manufacturing jobs, crumbling roads and bridges, selling off our highway system, selling of public property, massive oil spills without compensation, propaganda from our leaders, taking off our shoes at the airport to full body scans and pat downs, and many, many, more things.

You name it it has happened and keeps happening.

3. Given if there were another 911 this will be a police state in 10 years IMO. The level
of ignorance and reactionary behavior in the US is astounding. Many Americans have lost the capability to think rationally.

6. LOL and now it's nazi-like.
Don't worry, they'll dissolve DHS and a few planes will blow up here and there, killing people, but it'll be ok with the doomers. That should meet their 'fighting their government' needs.


:sarcasm: And an unrec for another P&M.

7. Hopefully, the Department of Hoaxland Security will be a memory ten years from now.
A hated, stinking memory, but still gone.
