SFGate: In a May terrorist advisory, the Homeland Security Department warned local law enforcement agencies to keep an eye on anyone who "expressed dislike of attitudes and decisions of the U.S. government."

Well, that sets that decision for me. In one of the positions I interviewed recently, the "customer" was HSD. Considerably immature at this point, they really don't know what they want as far as the software goes and are just throwing money around to anybody who will pick it up and go "its security-focussed, trust us".

But I don't care what the hell happens, I refuse to through my hat into the ring with any government entity that so dislikes any form of criticism that they would effectively brand the entire National Democratic Party of this country, the only opposition they have (such as it is), as potential terrorists.

And I know damn well I just made that list with this posting, and I don't give a fuck.

honey, do you want to go visit Cape Breton Island sometime soon? I'm thinking early retirement here...

Bro-ther. As far as the republican party is concerned, I might as well be branded a potential terrorist. And I'm not even a democrat.

Well shoot. By saying this, I just roasted my security clearance, hm?

Free speech, my ass. It's free as long as you agree with the shrub.

CBI is looking better and better all the time, dear... Although I'll let you know once the elections are over this fall...

Just hold your breath for one more year...

don't speak so quickly: he's at a 45% re-election rating as of mid December. Me? I'm in the other 55%.

are you suggesting that he could win with a minority of the vote? Oh, wait, he already did...

HA! Good one.

Sad to say it, but I think he'll be here another 4 years and by then with his magic whiteout, he'll have the 2 term limit stricken from the amendments. He will then announce to the world that he is the King of America (and not 'wishful thinking' though 'the World' can't be far behind).

Unless someone starts the collective intelligence of the country, he's here for a while longer.
