Conservative politicians want Napolitano out

House Republicans are calling on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano (pictured) 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.

Congressman Carter says the first step in this process is creating unfounded public suspicion of political opponents and then followed by arresting and jailing anyone who continue speaking out against the regime.

It does seem quite obvious that the Obama administration was trying to marginalize its critics on the right. The only question remains: did Napolitano author the controversial memo on her own or was she ordered by the administration to marginalize military veterans as well as conservative middle America?
