Seriously???!!!! When the hell did we become Germany in the 1930's? Didn't they lose the war? Didn't they kill millions upon millions of Jews?

Watching these videos was like watching each freedom we have taken away. Go to Walmart, Janet Napolitano is there. Go to sports events, Janet Napolitano is there. Planning on flying on a plane? Janet Napolitano is there. Sense a pattern here? Has your life improved since the Secretary of Homeland Security has put her face everywhere? If anything, I've felt a lot of discomfort. Why do I need to see this lady's face when she's doing nothing to make me feel safer? In fact, I feel more violated.

Department of Homeland Security has no right invading the lives of Americans. Their purpose was to stop terrorists. Now they took that word, generalized it as much as they could, and began to use Nazi-Germany like tactics with it. In fact, you should know what they label as terrorists. Here is the following list from their website...

- Displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties

- Supporting Congressman Ron Paul

- Supporting former presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin

- Supporting former Congressman Bob Barr

- Opposing the implementation of a North American Union

- Owning gold bullion

- Displaying historical U.S. flags

- Opposing abortion

- Talking about the documentary Zeitgeist

- Being interested in animal rights

- Being a “lone individual”

- Making numerous references to the U.S. Constitution

- Defending the U.S. Constitution

- Claiming driving is a right, not a privilege

- Refusing to identify yourself to an authority figure

- Attempting to monitor the actions of police

- Being bald

- Being a “nice guy”

- Wearing Levi jeans

- Communicating predominantly by cell phone, email or text message

- Looking “normal” in appearance

- Renting a car

- Staying in a hotel or apartment

- Renting a storage facility

- Using cash to make large purchases

- Using pre-paid cellphones or hand-held radios

- Owning large amounts of medicines, alcohol, or baby formula

- Gaining support for a cause by holding meetings, public rallies, or demonstrations

- Gaining support for a cause by using websites, posters, leaflets, or underground press publications

- Possessing a photo-copy of your drivers license, passport, social security card or birth certificate

- Possessing or purchasing GPS technology

- Walking, biking or driving near “potential targets”

- Taking photographs of “potential targets,” including bridges, power plants or government buildings

- Being a property-rights activist

- Trying to influence government or social policy

- Undermining confidence in the government

- Using a sketch pad, camera, map, binoculars or scuba equipment

Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is a real list. These are from the MIAC report from Homeland Security. This list basically labels all of us as terrorists. Everyone that I ever met has been part of at least one of these things. This is insanity!

Basically, anything freedom related is a form of terrorism according to the Department of Homeland Security. This is so wrong on so many levels. I wish what I have displayed was not true, but unfortunately it is. I really want to be wrong about this. I want to be wrong that more of our freedoms and liberties are being taken away from us every single day.

I want our jobs back. I want outsourcing to stop. I want manufacturing to make us strong once again. But with what Homeland Security is trying to implement, who would want to create jobs here? If everyone is a potential terrorist, why would you hire any Americans? I'm starting to see a pattern from all this: Make Americans feel like they are terrorists, remove their freedoms, and violate their dignities. They want us to feel worthless. They want us to feel that even though we spent $40,000 on college (or more), we should be happy with a job with McDonalds flipping burgers and serving fries. They are trying to break our wills and desires to be happy and free. This way, it will be easier for us to accept slave-labor jobs like China. A lot of new laws, plus D.H.S, pushes for things to be more communistic like China. See the pattern? Connect the dots. Prove me wrong if you can.

I want our country back...the way it's suppose to be. At the very least, pre-9/11. People have their views about 9/11, but one thing is clear: Department of Homeland Security is out of control. Less government is the answer. Government is a necessary evil, but limiting it's power is best for all citizens. Self-sufficient ways, community, unity, these are the things we should base our lives. The more we rely on government, the more they take away from us.

Community and Unity...Why it's More Important Now Than Ever

Back in November, I had to grab some oil for my Saturn at Walmart. When I went to purchase the oil at the cash register, I seen above me a TV with Janet Napolitano on it talking about "See Something, Say Something." Here is the video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfmDjc24jYw). First thing that came to mind was "Why is this even here?" Seeing this didn't seem to sit right. So I went home and started doing some research on why this is even put up there.

An idea hit me as soon as I sat down. I decided to look up World War 2 Germany. Why would Homeland Security tell me to "See Something, Say Something" when this is common knowledge. Isn't Homeland Security about stopping terrorists? Why would terrorists go to Walmart? Then it hit me...this is something Adolf Hitler used to gain power and control the masses. This was promoting normal everyday people to spy on one another. Now why would we want that? It's one thing to be suspicious of a neighbor, it's another trying to spy on them, believing they are a terrorist. This just isn't right. It's bad enough we're getting molested in airports now by the TSA, now we have to spy on our friends, co-workers, and neighbors?

As this information was hitting me like a ton of bricks, I remember the quote from George Washington "United we Stand, Divided We Fall." Isn't this spying thing dividing us? Because it sure does feel that way. Why would our own country want us divided? This doesn't make sense. In fact, what Homeland Security is doing is violating the Constitution. The TSA is already violating the 4th Amendment. Homeland Security is attacking the 1st Amendment by labeling protesting as "low-level terrorism." Here is the link of the ACLU sending a letter to Gail McGinn, Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness http://www.aclu.org/images/general/asset_upload_file89_39820.pdf). So it is quite disturbing that this government agency is blatantly bashing our Constitution and violating our rights.

It is more important than ever that we stand together. Forget this spying stuff! I believe everyone has a right to protest something they don't believe in. I protested against Senate Bill 510 last year (which eventually passed as HR 2751 http://www.gop.gov/bill/111/2/hr2571senateamedment) where it gives the FDA unlimited power. I recommend you read the bill the judge for yourself. If we allow the spying to continue, we will lose more and more of our freedoms. You are more likely to get hit by lightning or even win the lottery than get hit by a terrorist attack. We shouldn't live scared. Living in fear is wrong. To quote the movie Hellraiser..."Fear is the mind killer." We are frozen in our thoughts and incapable of free thinking when we are consumed by fear. If our Founding Fathers lived in fear, would we have this country today? If Christopher Columbus lived in fear, would we still believe the world is flat?

All I ask is to open your minds, realize the environment you're in, and come to the conclusion that Community and Unity is what makes us stronger. Living in fear is not the answer. Feel free to post your comments, I'm interested in hearing what you have to say. Thank you for your time.
