Welcome to 201k.com - A Commonwealth Perspective.

We sure that the leaders of the new Democratic majority are getting plenty of suggestions as to where to start saving the country -- and from people who did more for the election than we did, hard as that is to believe -- but we want to put a word in for, well, a word change:

Dump the name "Homeland Security". It's creepy.

Communist Russia had "The Motherland", Nazi Germany had "The Fatherland". Here in America we have "National Security".

It's a small thing, we know, and will cost money, but words mean a lot, and we've always hated "Homeland Security". We're not sure what he was thinking -- the right wing think tank neo-nazi punk-in-a-suit who came up with it -- nor do we want to.

But it's got to go.

This is America. We're a lawful nation, not a "homeland". We have "National Security".
