This is the same nutty arguments I have heard Democrats make on transportation, "Well if you build more roads, it will just make traffic worse, more cars will drive the roads." Then the morons vote against any transportation funding, and force feed all the money into light rail.
Libertarians and Democrats are both counter-intuitive through and through, "Well if we just get rid of the cops, it will make us safer."

You don't make any sense.
Under Bill Clinton, America increased the number of cops in America. Drastically.
I've never heard anyone ever say that if we build more roads, it will make traffic worse. Complete crap. Who'se ever said that?
Getting rid of Homeland Security should be done immediately. Could never have imagined that under a conservative president that they would expand the federal gov't to such a ridiculous degree that there is now a whole entire part of the gov't that is in business to help co-ordinate the CIA, the FBI, and FEMA and other huge federal agencies. Billions of additional dollars of taxpayers money being wasted on a venture that still isn't up and running and leaves people to wonder what it is they actually do.
Homeland Security before 9/11 would not have prevented it from happening. Good police and investigative work would have. It's that simple.
You can't call yourself a conservative any longer and be for huge gov't overreaching and expansion that is unnecessary and wasteful.
So you can say whatever you want Paleo, you're obviously a big gov't neo-liberal fascist who thinks that America ought to control every other nation instead of working with them. That's not a conservative ideal, and what this new generation of conservatives is doing is actually along the liberal-fascist lines.
Don't the neo-cons even know that they aren't new or conservative in any way?
