Homeland Insecurity Focuses Us On Territory, Not Liberty

I've been wondering a lot, lately, about where this Homeland is that everyone keeps on talking about. Growing up, I never heard anyone ever talk about the Homeland like they do so often now on the news, and in the government. In fact, I don't think that much of anyone was talking about the United States of America as the Homeland until George W. Bush grabbed the Presidency back in 2000. Honestly, the whole idea of the Homeland seems like nothing less than an attempt to convince the American people to think about who they are in a different light. Under the idea of a Homeland, we are no longer citizens in a country of laws that guarantees us freedom. We become, instead, inhabitants of a piece of land, a nation to which we belong and which must be defended from outsiders. The invention of the Homeland has come, not coincidentally, with a decrease in our freedom. Under the Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act, we have lost our right to habeas corpus, our protection from unreasonable search and seizure, the presumption of innocence, the right to a fair and speedy trial, and protection from cruel and unusual punishment. The Homeland regime does not make me feel secure. Rather, it seems to prey upon my insecurity. Thus, I am exploring the idea of the Department of Homeland Insecurity.
