Federal Building Security | Homeland Security



That appears to be the case, yes.
As I mentioned, i've never once laid eyes on a DHS security guard in any of the Federal buildings I spend or have spent time in.

It must be largely a "field" thing.

All I had to do was go to the OP's link. Doesn't look like there were a whole lot of people there. It's not rocket science.
If there were HUNDREDS of people there, where are the pictures? I see about two dozen Tea Partiers with their knickers in a knot.

You haven't noticed these SUV's all over DC?, parked in front of every major government facility?
Perhaps you should pay better attention next time you're downtown.

Oh, dear lord, I thought we had put this idiocy to bed a month back. Here are two definitions of "democracy" from two different sources:

"A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."

"government by the people; especially : rule of the majority"


The only idiots here are the idiots who somehow think "democracy" and "republic" are mutually exclusive. What said idiots do is conflate "democracy" with "direct democracy." We took about five laps around the park with another genius a month ago. It took about 30 pages before he finally conceded that, yes, the United States is both a democracy and a republic. Strive to be smarter than he was.

Now really. What’s to handle? A bunch of white senior citizens aren’t likely to go feral, right? Comments at other websites are stating that the DHS had armed guards at other IRS protests in other towns across the country.


See the pictures of the event in the below link.

You need to look at your history.
