OMG! We have crossed the statist Rubicon.....

What’s their enforcement mechanism? This feels like it going to be a second helping of press briefings, and releases.

Good question, and I suspect you're referring to general government incompetence, ineptitude, and malfeasance. I actually hope that turns out to be the case, but something about this just ain't right.....kind of has a sinister taste to it.

Also, being under Homeland Security (thanks GWB) makes it practically untouchable. Will be interesting to see if this Stasi organization will have it's own armed "enforcement" entity, kind of like all those obscure Federal agencies who have SWAT teams: Dept. of Education, National Institute of Health SRT, Dept. of HHS, Amtrak SOU (yes, if you can believe that one), etc. Agencies you'd be like "WTF does this department need a tactical team for?"

And if we do make it to the election and that happens, do you really think the Republicans are going to get rid of this thing? Or will they just put their own person in charge? Because now it good, because the GOP is running the Congress?

When the Left is in charge, they do anything they want. When the Right is in charge, they don’t repeal ANYTHING the Left put into place, the Left still gets most everything they want (in the spirit of bipartisanship of course), and they pick up exactly where they left off when they get control back again.

They only losers in this whole deal is the American people.

You are 100% correct. The "Right" has no balls whatsoever. Despite the fact that they are supposed to represent conservatives (small "c") they sure as hell walk the centrist line don't they?

This is why I think it's a good idea for people to start switching over to reinforced concrete homes and to restore the prestige of the militia. If you have the money to create underground networks of concrete tunnels on your farm/homestead then why not?

Yes, you disagree with me, so I am bad. I understand your world view.

It’s hard for me to take someone seriously when this their approach to life:

“It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.“

See? It’s a two-way street.

It's hard for me to take someone serious who still wants to practice alchemy. Feel free not to waste your time on me. I'll just disappoint you.

Has anyone here made a single call to anyone to object to this?

Figured not, which is why it continues.

Fair enough, I will Monday; I have a Democrap Rep (for now, until our new redistricting takes effect for November) but two Republican Senators. I assume you will too, right? That said, do you really think it would make a difference?

I don't know the finer intricacies of government but my understanding is that with it being under DHS that blocking/canking the whole thing is kind of limited (?).

Until Congress learns to grow some balls and stomp on the Amerikanischestasi the same way as it does on us...

and readily accuse their adversaries of exactly what they're doing!

This statement epitomizes the Hussein Ali Bama presidency. Hussein was the master of campaigning against everything he was doing.

Yup. Inoculation by Preemptive Accusation is a Lefty tactic going back to their foundation.
