RE: Ilhan Omar Calls For Complete Defunding Of FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service
If anyone every wanted to know how dumb a liberal state can be, first Minnesotans give us Al Franken, and Jesse Ventura, (both entertaining but not necessarily effective) and now they hit an epic new low by giving us an Enemy of the State. Hubert H. Humphrey is spinning in his grave!
I think maybe Minnesotans have proven what can happen if you don't cover your Norther Border with a wall. If he had lived perhaps Prince would have been elected instead of Ilhan. I could have lived with "Little Red Corvette". But not this insanity.

As much as it pains me, there is some truth there.
FEMA is a bloated, inefficient, wasteful entity. Much of their mission should be taken care of by local agencies, contractors, and private organizations.
As hawghiggs pointed out, TSA should be ran by a private sector firm. Pay for it with a surcharge on tickets and air travel in general.
Chalk this up to "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while...."

It's a bag of mixed nuts, some of them poisonous. You have to ask what she intended by the whole mix, not by the singe cashew you agree with!

Absolutely.
I would never get behind that scheme because it's pretty obvious it has more to do with hating America than it does not "building a wall" or "back pay".
I was merely thinking that there's a discussion that could be had about some of those mixed nuts. She's NOT the one to be leading those discussions though....

I have no quarrel with outsourcing these entities to the private sector, but Omar is not looking for a replacement for these services-- she just wants to end them. Putting her in office is akin to putting a fox in charge of the hen house.

Eventually the democrats will figure out that Muslims are not compatible with Christians and Jews, OR many of their little pet groups like feminists, LGB's or T's.

All those are government agencies. Considering how bad government is at everything, wouldn't private industry be able to handle it?

National security is one of the few tasks the federal government actually has a Constitutional mandate to be doing.

We already have the Department of Defense, the FBI, the CIA, etc. Pretty sure the military is way larger than any of the founders would have been comfortable with. They didn't even want standing armies.

The Dept of Defense and CIA have restrictions on when and where they can operate on US soil.
The FBI mission does not include border and transportation security.
And everything you mentioned is a government agency and has absolutely nothing to do with your asinine original statement about privatizing national security.

So for 200 years we had nobody in charge of border and transportation security?
You're the one that claimed the constitution required a Department of Homeland Security, despite the fact that we didn't have one for 200 years.
