This really steams me!

Two Cops Killed, One U.S. Marshal Wounded During Deadly Shootout

[INDENT]"Lacy was believed to be still inside the home, and dozens of police officers, SWAT team members in armored riot gear, ambulances and at least one Department of Homeland Security vehicle responded to the scene."[/INDENT]

Now, what in the hell is the Department of Homeland Security doing there?

DHS is an outfit in constant search of justifications for its existence, and, therefore, its enormous allocation in the federal budget.

That agency is nothing more than the domestic enforcement arm of the globalists.

WTF is their mandate, anyway? Let me see ....

[INDENT].... to lead the unified national effort to secure the country and preserve our freedoms. While the Department was created to secure our country against those who seek to disrupt the American way of life, our charter also includes preparation for and response to all hazards and disasters.[/INDENT]

The way I see it, among the reasons the U.S. should be forced to cease its global trouble-making, bring our troops home, and remain out of the affairs of other nations, is the opportunity to disband the DHS.
