The Third Reich Reborn

So, you're a law abiding citizen, asleep in your bed at 6:a.m. when your front door is kicked-in by "heavily armed" men who then drag you out of the house and pin you to the ground. At first, you may think that you've been transported back to Berlin in the mid-30's. You later find out that this raiding party is made-up of government agents from, no, not the FBI, or the CIA, or ATF, or even the DEA. They're from the US Dept. of Education! HUH? That's right, they're EduNazi's. After 34 years in law enforcement, this is a new one on me.

It seems the US Department of Education has a law enforcement division, complete with guns, arrest powers, the ability to serve search warrants, and God only knows what else! My question is, why? Has truancy become such a dangerous crime that armed raiding parties are necessary? Do they need guns to force kids to eat the sub-human crap they serve in school lunch rooms? I can understand an agency having an Inspector Generals office to investigate fraud, waste, theft, etc. in that agency. But those are "non-violent" crimes against property. Do you really need a shotgun to find out who's stealing the kids milk money?

...and to top it ALL off, they were looking for a FEMALE, his ex-wife, estranged wife, depending on which article you read. Which, of course, begs the question, why did they keep him in the cuffs, in a car for SIX hours?

All they had to do was check his skivvies to see he wasn't a chick. Maybe instead of new shotguns, they need some human anatomy books?

Just wait until their new tanks arrive.

"The great George Washington, whose name is disgraced by what has been happening in the capital, said it well:

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master..."

It doesn't matter if it's the Department of Education or the Department of Flowers and Songs; if it's government and it's allowed to grow beyond its bounds, it will inevitably result in innocent men dragged out of their homes in handcuffs while their children scream."
