If you thought Big Brother couldn’t possibly get bigger, and if you thought this Dr. Strangelove era couldn’t possibly get any Strangelovier, welcome to the debate over the next head of the Department of Homeland Security.

I have given up on so-called "progressives" and "liberals" and yes, "democrats" as being anything more than supporters of the system which is itself the problem no matter their intentions. And FUCK anyone who would automatically call me libertarian or alex jones or republican for having my own conclusions; that sort of person is exactly to whom I refer as BEING the problem.)
