The Hill reports that some members of the House GOP are discussing the request of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's resignation. “I think leaders are going to bring it up with the president, maybe call for (her) resignation,” one conservative member told The Hill Wednesday. While this is amidst the uproar over last week's DHS report that authorities should be aware of domestic terror threats in the form of "right-wing extremists". I refer to that report as the "Minority Report". Last week's "Tea Party" demonstrations went over peacefully with reports over somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 gathering Nationwide. However, the decision for the Department of Homeland Security to release the report just prior to the protests caused a stir. Many
Conservatives felt they were being "targeted", and I know that feeling from the left.Further, asking for Ms. Napolitano's resignation is premature and adolescent. Since November NRA types and Conservatives have hemming and hawing about buying up their guns and ammo because of supposed threats that "the Democrat Party is going to take your guns". According all reports, gun and ammo sales have reached highs. So, should the DHS not of released any report? ? Had they done nothing and an incident taken place, the demand for Janet Napolitano's resignation would have been demanded. Since it expired, both the President and Attorney General Eric Holder have not given any indication that they will renew the ban on assault firearms. What is being witnessed is a gun toting conservative base who are behaving like scared little boys, and a political party in disarray.

Now that the anti-science, superstition-based initiative presidency ends, we need several public works science Manhattan projects to make us great again and boost us out of this Grotesque Depression. First we must provide free advertising-based wireless internet to everyone to end land line monopolies. Then we must criscross the land with high speed rail. Because bovine flatulence is the major source of greenhouse gases, we must develop home growable microbes to provide all of our protein. Then we must create microbes which turn our sewage and waste into fuel right at home. This will end energy monopoly by putting fuel in our hands. We must address that most illness starts from behavior, especially from parents. Since paranoid schizophrenia is the cause of racism, bigotry, homelessness, terrorism, ignorance, exploitation and criminality, we must provide put the appropriate medications, like lithium, in the water supply and require dangerous wingnuts who refuse free mental health care to be implanted with drug release devices. Churches should be licensed to reduce supersition and all clergy dealing with small children should be psychiatrically monitored to prevent molesting. Osama bin Laden and Timothy McVeigh were the ultimate superstition based initiatives. Aborting future terrorists and sterilizing their parents is the most effective homeland security. Widen navigation straits (Gibraltar, Suez, Malacca, Danube, Panama and Hellspont) with deep nukes to prevent war. In order to fund this we must nationalize the entire financial, electrical and transportation system and extinguish the silly feudal notion that each industry should be regulated by its peers. Technology mandates a transformation of tax subsidies from feudal forecloseable debt to risk sharing equity. Real estate and insurance, the engines of feudalism, must be brought under the Federal Reserve so we may replace all buildings with hazardous materials to provide public works. Insects, flooding and fire spread asbestos, lead and mold which prematurely disables the disadvantaged. Disposable manufactured housing assures children are not prematurely disabled and disadvantaged. Because feudalism is the threat to progress everywhere, we must abolish large land holdings by farmers, foresters or religions and instead make all such large landholding part of the forest service so our trees may diminish greenhouse gases. We must abolish executive pay and make sure all employees in a company are all paid equally. We must abolish this exploitative idea of trade and monopoly and make every manufactured disposable cottage self sufficient through the microbes we invent.
