3. The whole construct is that famous "horse assembled by a committee"


It ought to be allowed to settle back into its regular working parts...

4. write that with a vow to repeal the Patriot Act, and I'll vote for any of them
Those are the two biggest planks in the dem platform that are needed. We must take back our minds.

5. All or Nothing arguments are unrealistic, wrong and ignore real public concerns
This all or nothing mentality of the far left isn't very constructive.

Unrealistic and wrong.

We need a government that can properly address real security threats... without breaking laws, becoming a pork handout system and without violating rights.

There are some legitimate reasons to maintain a DHS. It just needs to actually be more about those legitimate reasons, and not a huge bureacratic disaster where anything goes and the public's interests arent protected.
