House Votes to Delay Bulk Ammo Purchase by DHS
 

'Bout time. The DHS ammo buy is just another scandal in a long list. Add Verizon today, too.

The House late Wednesday voted to stop the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from entering into new contracts to buy millions of rounds of ammunition until the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports to Congress on the need for the ammo, and its cost.

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) proposed an amendment to the DHS spending bill for 2014 that would require the report to Congress before it can pursue plans to buy 1.1 billion rounds of ammunition. Meadows said the speed bump is a necessary reaction to news of the huge purchase, which alarmed many Americans and prompted conservative groups to suspect that the government was stocking up on the rounds to fight citizens.

"Given this large purchase, the American people and members of Congress rightfully had concerns and questions," Meadows said. "This is a responsible amendment which ensures that Congress and the American people are aware of the necessity and the cost of ammunition prior to entering into new contracts for procurement."

Snip

I used to believe that, I don't anymore....... it's more of a us and them picture.... unless of course you think diane feinstein is really "one of the people".....

She's not even A person, let alone one of "the People."

In the "us and them picture," I am definately with you.;)

Actually, according to Wikipedia, she's a moron!

Tried to find the post to which you're alluding.

Wish I had kept the screen shot.

Ask and ye shall receive.....

The Wiki people classified it as "vandalism" and that particular revision only remained up for ~1 hour, December 31, 2012 17:00 to 18:01. Then it was undone.

It was actually difficult to find. There's been over 300 revisions to Dianne Feinstein's Wiki page since December 2012. Why would anyone need 10 revisions per day to their page? That's exactly why Wiki is dangerous as a reputable source. It's full of "revisionists" trying to change history, change facts, or word things in a way that suits them.

Here's the "moron" revision: LINK

And I've attached a partial screen shot.

Sorry, DiFi, you've been punked...with the truth. :D

Thank you O5.

Despite what Wikipedophile thinks, she's still a moron.

She's definitely not dumb. She graduated Stanford and writes extremely well. But I would never defend a single action she's done as a politician.

Her problem is that her policies are absolute garbage and she's helping to destroy the country, starting with her state and trying to impose her will on the nation as a whole. Her bills are garbage and solely look to strengthen the banks' hold on average citizens. Not a surprise, since her husband is a multimillionaire investment banker who has personally stolen the livelihood of thousands and thousands of American homeowners.

She's dumber than a fucking rock, dude.

MSR, are you a member of OWS?
