IN BAD TASTE: Putting the blame where it belongs?

There is a similar term used a lot though - "Heartland" that I got so sick of hearing when I lived in Wichita. I have heard references to "Homeland" as well and in Hitler's Germany of the 30's and 40's I believe they used "Motherland" more than "Homeland"

-> I always felt that the name "Homeland Security" reeks of -> Nazi Germany. -> "Homeland" is not a term we Americans use much, and it feels wrong. -> "Internal Security" sounds too Russian.
