Your tax dollars at work: DHS flamewarriors on the job

[substitute]

Sometimes the IP logging feature on LJ is a beautiful thing, especially when Homeland Security employees think they're being all badass by flaming you for your political views from work.

Back to work, you. I pay you to beat up Mexicans and lose the city of New Orleans, not click around on the internet like a bunch of Kansas City faggots.

I have a simpler explanation, actually. Some no-neck working for the Border Patrol found it on Google and yelled at me on the Internet because he was doing that instead of working.

I doubt that anyone engaged in counterintelligence in a serious way would just call me a moron in a screened anonymous LJ post. I'd just go in the file with the others.

One of the great lessons of the Eastern Bloc years is that oppressors aren't very competent or hard-working.

I'd be inclined to agree if I hadn't seen news stories (can't remember where right now) saying that DHS and DOD were actually doing this as a matter of official policy now. It's hard to believe they would do something this stupid and ineffectual, but then the hurricanes last year obliterated my sense of what is and isn't too stupid and ridiculous when it comes to DHS and DOD policy making.
