Homeland Defence

I don't know if the rest of the world knows, but The brains in Washington DC, have came up with a plan called...Homeland Defence.
It will 'cordinate' 40 gov' groups on the defence of America. Not new groups, but groups that have already been doing this. I will back this for now, but if this turns into just another government office like, "The Defence of America from Creatures from the Middle of the Earth" I will vote against every government official I can. I don't mind paying taxes if it helps, but I will not fund a office that sits in Washington and smilies when the President tells it to. An office that we shouldn't need.
Any thoughts?

I agree, Weasel. I don't see much need for this, and it's title sounds like something right out of a fascist state.

I can't imagine that this new agency will truly have any jurisdiction over the rest. It's policies will get bogged down just like any other office.
I do not envy the person heading this up.

I don't know if I can buy into any organization entitled "The Defense of America from Creatures from the Middle of the Earth." I happen to represent several of those creatures, and let me tell you, they may be large, and loathsome, and violent, and murderous, but they have needs and affections, too.

1998 Spending Report on DACME
1.1 Billion for toothpicks.
2.9 Million on Post-it notes.
.20 cents on food for the creatures.
From the report, the group is asking for a increase in funds so next year, the amount of food can be increased to .40 cent.

1. Who the heck came up with that name of all names in the world, "the defense of america from creatures from the middle of the earth"?
2. Can you say... racism?
Now to analyze that name...
"The defense"...
Perhaps they should try to remember that it isn't really defense throwing bombs at people.
"...of America..."
It's a sin to put America there, since what we are doing is rather... well... unconstitutional, denying the Afghani civilians a right to live because of a pathetic taliban thing.
"...from creatures..."
Creatures is really denying that they are "people". It is more or less calling them a lower life form, an animal. The Afghanis are still people... The only thing that is good about this name so far is that when translated into Afghanistanese or whatever it is they speak (Sorry I really don't know), they'll probably have no idea what we mean.
"...from the middle of the earth."
That sounds more like referring to Earth's inner core than the Middle East. The earth has no "middle". Except the Equator, and besides, Afghanistan isn't on the equator.
Bleeeeech!

We're not denying the Afghani civilians a right to live.
BTW, I could be wrong, but I didn't think the "The Defence of America from Creatures from the Middle of the Earth" was refering to that.
Homeland Defense was refering to something having to do with the terrorism and such. I think you're a bit mixed up, Sandy.

Just adding...
"From the middle of the Earth"
some people believe that Hell is located in the center of the Earth. The deepest hole dug in history... people have heard screams echoing down there... only adults screams though... but they were screams of torture... I almost had a heart attack when I heard that

Probably. I'm always mixed up...
Oh well. At least I learn from my mistakes. *Pulls out official Memo to Myself notebook, something I stole from a TV show*
Memo to myself... America defending self against terrorism, not attacking...

You want to do a break down????
Let us proceed.
First...To be fair...I will not edit my first post.
Second...I will assume you can read.
Let's read this sentence...
, but if this turns into just another government office like, "The Defence of America from Creatures from the Middle of the Earth"
BUT IF THIS TURNS INTO JUST ANOTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICE LIKE.
Like: meaning like another group.

I'm at a loss here. I believe this group is trying to protect the creatures from Americans...not the Taliban, Afghani, British..ect ect..

They are creature till they are given a scientific name.

Well it is refering to the 'core'. Where you got the middle east from I do not know? Maybe you need to reread my post. You come here making accuations about my post with out understanding it...without taking the time to read it, and call me a racist. LMFAO

In a time of crisis....speedos will save us all.
(That is ....unless your vote depends on the speedo question.....which in this case we can work a deal out.)
