....look at homeland security. when they started parceling that money out, you had communities screaming for their fair share, when in fact many of those communities arent any target at all..so then legit targets dont get enough to cover their needs
I agree with alot of what you said, above.

I just read a fascinating article. Written by "Mike Lofgren retired on June 17 after 28 years as a Congressional staffer. He served 16 years as a professional staff member on the Republican side of both the House and Senate Budget Committees."

It outlines, very succinctly and clearly, as I've not otherwise seen, the current state of disruptive politics in this country, in Washington, the goals and behind-the-scenes plans of the current Republican party (and evangelical interaction) and tells why he retired now. A bit long, but worth it.

And no, he doesn't like or favor Democrats.
