41. As I have suspected all along....

Homeland Security purchased 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, enough ammunition to fight the Iraq war for 12 years, has its own para-military force and 2,700 tanks. If you think the “terrorist threat” in America warrants a domestic armed force of this size, you are out of your mind. This force has been assembled to deal with starving and homeless people in the streets of America."

It wasn't this that sent chill down my spine, it was the fact that HS have built all these detention camps that scare the crap out of me. Now I live on a border state and I haven't seen that many dangerous illegals in the neighborhood, so I reach the conclusion as to the purpose long ago.

Many people deride some conservatives as paranoid when they first started talking about it. I come from the point that all politics is circular/not parallel.
