Why?

It makes me think that Obama has put her into this position with something else in mind and is not really concerned with Homeland Security

Are you freaking serious about that

Your words: "stopping the guns will help to stop the killing"

We have no power to stop a cartel operating in another country from obtaining firearms. Even if the US stopped sale of and banned all guns in America, there would be no stop in the violence, it may in fact do the opposite; as these people operate with no regard to any law, this may only invite more cross border kidnappings and violence as the cartels would know that their targets were less capable of defending themselves.

This woman is a perfect patsy for Obama's team, if something really bad were to occur, that is.

I really hope that our government doesn't forcefully or even legally try to disarm it's populace. It would be a sad day for liberty if that were to occur. All that it would accomplish is making it a crime to have the means of defending your life, liberty, family and home from a cruel death at the hands of criminals who break laws with impunity.

There was a case in Texas where a farmer, whose land bordered Mexico, caught a bunch of immigrants destroying his fenced and wandering through his land. He had a shotgun, but didn't use it, and detained the illegals until INS came and picked them up. The sad part is that this poor farmer got sued to the tune of millions somehow by these illegals for something like "illegally" detaining them with a weapon. Somehow a person illegally entering this country, or already here illegally, has more rights than a law abiding US citizen; a landowner at that, and this occurred on his own property on which they destroyed a section of his fence.

GM and Chrysler bankruptcies are also paving the way for death of contract law in the US. No such thing as rights or contracts, and soon we are headed the way of Mexico and then Zimbabwe ourselves through hyperinflation and ultimate collapse of the dollar.

The FED IG is all over youtube and the web in a five minute long debacle of doubt into the country’s fiscal oversight of something like $15,000,000,000,000.oo or enough money to have paid off every American’s credit card debt and still have enough to do something more proactive than reward failure, prop up vacuum of corporate greed, and debase the currency by the crime of “quantitative easing,” without ever addressing the real and continually evolving threat of the web of credit default swap and other high risk derivative schemes that have only been mentioned through the obscurity of the terms such as “systemic risk” and “too big to fail.” (That paragraph was a sentence, whew)

This woman is in way over her head and unless our country gets its purse in order SOON, she is headed for a cacophony of migraines and sleepless nights.

bad breath

is she a woman homosexual? if so, she needs to read Romans chapter one.

Just Curious

I am just curious as to why someone with military training is not in charge of our Homeland Security. Not to knock the woman or anything but I don't see anything in that bio that even remotely quallifies her to be in this position. can anybody tell me what she has accomplished in the past that would vallidate her being appointed to this position?

Resignation

Janet Napolitano should resign. The American people should demand it. This lady has no business trying to protect the U.S. she's in over her head. I just hope and pray that many Americans don't lose there lives because of this women.

napolitano

I'm sorry but after the recent report concerning veterans being a threat to the U.S. Adescent person would automatically resign, even if only to protect the reputation of her boss.

60 Minutes is a joke!!

If you watch and believe 60 minutes and don't understand that they will only report the info that fit's their agenda then you need to pull your head out of the sand, probably believe the easter bunny's real and santa comes down chimney. Stop watching the BS on tv and pick up a newspaper or use the internet and that is still questionable information.

Border

Our lack of concern from our government dealing with the rise in illegal alien crime in this country is mind blowing to me. What kills me more is that we are allowing them to do this! They are in a elected position! We need to start demanding laws that protect not only citizens, but people who are coming into this country the legal way. I have a friend who is from Ireland, who has married a American Lady. He has been waiting two years to come to this country. He is following all the laws and doing all the correct paperwork. Meanwhile millions of people who are breaking the laws, run across our borders.

Illegals In Arizona

I just got to laugh as to how stupid some people can be if a elected sheriff works his or her best with the publics money they try to impeach them and who I'm talking about is Joe Apaio the maricopa countys sheriff . He is doing everything in his power to protect and serve all the legal citizens here in phoenix and we bag on him for doing his job to well.I tell you what, you have one of these do-gooders who say he is picking on the mexicans, family members get killed by a illegal mexican drunk driver maybe they will change their tone.Maybe people don't watch the news, but what I see it is about 90% of the drunk drivers and shooting are by ellegals. I support sheriff Joe I certainly wouldn't want him ,as a personal freind but he does work hard for us maybe Jannet Napolitano should support and take some advice Sheriff Joe.
