The Department of Homeland Security was developed as an organization to bring together, manage and open lines of communication of all U.S. government and law enforcement agencies to strengthen the security of the nation against our enemies. Napolitano, in her short tenure as head, has politicized, weakened and shirked it's responsibility.
Napolitano's recent attack on conservatives and veterans as "right-wing extremists" (she has since made a very weak recant when it came to veterans) turns the department into a political tool of the Obama administration. Yesterday's peaceful protests across the country by thousands of rallies of thousands of people, was a great example of conservatives practicing their first amendment rights. In contrast to the left-wing protesters who have attacked WTO meetings, smashed windows at recruiting centers, thrown animal feces at PETA organized protests, used tear gas, and plotted to destroy trash incinerators. Where was Ms. Napolitano's warnings against the proven terrorist acts of the left-wing extremists? Even President Bush's appointee's never used this opportunity. The job of the Department is to keep the nation secure, not divided and afraid of each other.
Napolitano has recently announced the creation of a "Border Czar" to bring together all sources of law enforcement and government agencies to secure the borders. Excuse me, but isn't that the job of the head of Homeland Security?
Here's a suggestion to President Obama. Eliminate Homeland Security and turn it back over to the Department of Defense. Since he wants to bring our troops home from Iraq and there are no jobs for them here, they can be stationed at our southern borders and patrol against Mexicans coming here and taking the now sought after jobs.
Napolitano has turned the Department of Homeland Security to one of INSECURITY. She has already passed the border buck to her 'CZAR'. She has embarrassingly displayed her lack of leadership and communication skills. This cabinet secretary must GO! Of course, when you have a Treasury Secretary who doesn't know how to use Turbo Tax, why should we think the Homeland Security Secretary should know how to keep us secure?
