The Department of Homeland Security and Janet Napolitano do not represent the land of the free. The government’s desperate attempt to institute a police state is not going unnoticed.

Training exercise startles locals
It may have looked like they were ready for war or some deranged person looking for his late Social Security benefits.
But it was only Federal Protective Service officers with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who were conducting a random training operation early Tuesday morning when they surprisingly showed up at the Social Security Administration office in downtown Leesburg.
