House Republicans call for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to step down!

janet-napolitano-nope.jpgJanet Napolitano blames Canada for the 9/11 terrorists, blames Canada for their border, issues a report calling military vets right-wing extremists and terrorists, and now is in a bit of hot water. It will probably turn out to be nothing more than political posturing with the left in charge of this country, but it sends a message none-the-less. From Politico:

House Republicans are calling on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to step down or be fired in the wake of a controversial department memo that has sparked indignant battle cries from conservatives and some veterans.

“Singling out political opponents for working against the ruling party is precisely the tactic of every tyrannical government from Red China to Venezuela,” said Texas Rep. John Carter, a member of the party’s elected leadership who has organized an hour of floor speeches Wednesday night to call for Napolitano’s ouster. “The first step in the process is creating unfounded public suspicion of political opponents, followed by arresting and jailing any who continue speaking against the regime.”

In particular, conservative members of the Republican Study Committee raised repeated concerns about the report and Napolitano’s subsequent defense of its findings on Wednesday, calling on party leaders to raise the issue with President Barack Obama during a White House meeting on Thursday.
