Obama's world conquest, Your tax dollars.

Will they wear brown shirts?

Is he even aware that the Department of Defense’s current base budget is close to $500 billion? Obama is going to create a civilian force with this level of funding and equipment? To do what?

Community Organizing?

Does General Petraus get to be Ernst Rohm in this version?

Dang, I hate conspiracy crap, but if this doesn't sound like the SA I don't know what does?

To do what?

To work in the Arugula fields.

Is he even aware that the Department of Defense’s current base budget is close to $500 billion? Obama is going to create a civilian force with this level of funding and equipment? To do what?

Cuz it sounds good.

Scary.

And they accuse the Republicans using scare tactics.

a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.

How....progressive.

Is this his backhanded way of re-instituting the draft? More likely, it's his way of employing the unemployable.

re: #9 Sharmuta

How....progressive.

Absolutely!

A leopard can't change his spots ...

Like I asked last weekend on this.

What color will be the shirts?
Brown or Black.

Every dictator needs their own personal army - the Pratorian Guard, the SS, The Imperial Guard - so this make sense to me.

Obama is going to create a civilian force with this level of funding and equipment? To do what?

Well, if his friends have any say in the matter, I would suspect to arrest Jews.

re: #3 rawmuse

Will they wear brown shirts?

Woven out of the finest hemp!

To whom would they have to swear allegiance? The obamessiah?

To do what? Pretty much anything they want to if it actually happens. $500 billion a year can make a pretty fancy organization with about 2 million people or so. Granted I can't see them needing aircraft carriers or submarines so maybe they could get their numbers over 3 million.

Souljahs.

re: #12 jcm

Here's some ideas to help him.

There was a guy on Medved's show last week who was in the Peace Corps for a few months. He just got back because of a family emergency. He said he was down in Honduras and that the people down there don't really want our help. The guy from the Peace Corps said it is a huge waste of time and money. Which is why, I suppose, the liberals like it.

Seriously, the dude's way out of his depth.

You got a Constitutional barriers to a National Armed Security Force with military powers.

oh how nice....I guess this would be Obama's Schultzstaffel (or in this case maybe "Shutzwaffle")

re: #13 BeerDrinking_VictoryMonkey

It reminds me of third-world governments which have a "Presidential Guard" designed solely to protect the leader from the military and police forces. Look at Haiti's Tonton Macoutes to see how well that arrangement works out...

re: #40 pegcity

So stormtroopers or SS?

Like Wrath said.

The simplest explanation for all this is, that Obama is nuts.

I consider this statement a fundamental lie. He probably will increase AmeriCorps and Peace Corps, but his definition of national security is nationalized pacifism. These organizations will be involved in all kinds of social engineering--like keeping track of kids who say "Yuk" at being served multicultural food they do not like.

Will they have torchlight parades, and rallies in huge outdoor stadiums? I'll bet it would make a great movie.

Obama, like most people who have wandered the halls of academe too long, thinks of work as akin to work-study, that is, lots of government funded make-believe work. AmeriCorps is a perfect example of this mindset. It is a giant scam as it is, imagine the scale of the corruption if it received real money. They are phony jobs programs to provide imaginary community service for communities that don't exist; real communities don't need phony volunteer programs because they have real people who really volunteer.

Why doesn't Obama come up with a snappy name for his youth corps? Something that says, adventure and progressive? Something that makes the kids feel like they are at the cutting edge... I've got it, how about 'Young Pioneers'?

re: #31 WrathofG-d

Do you think he is aware that our military is made up of civilians?

seriously this hut is nuts. I dont see how you can promote volunteer community service by making it compulsory. community service hours for highs school graduation? last time i checked, the students actually being in high school and learning instaed of on the streets gangbanging was a community service. A generation of those dedicated to "public service" just means a generation who follows the state and venerates the state more than the individual.

re: #4 zmdavid

Community Organizing?

Well, community organizing is his base experience. It would be natural to pull on that experience if he is to impose his vision on the world.

You know, this is starting to sound a bit too imperial, what with all the promises of a chicken in every pot, expanding government and the Brandenburg Gate tour and all. You don't think he really believes Princess Caroline passed the crown to him, do you? But then, with Crown Prince John gone from the scene someone has to pick it up, I suppose.

Pax Obama. The Peace Corps will maintain peace, no matter what the cost, or how many they have to kill.

If exurban league could redo this poster (posted above also) a bit to remove the "snappy uniforms" part, and the (most likely copyrighted "Obey" star) it would be fun to see posters made out of them and have them posted around the cities.

re: #10 quickjustice

No, its his way of putting a lot of left-leaning kids to work on things like registering (Democrat) voters and "volunteering" for organizations that support the left's agenda. It also sucks a lot of kids who haven't developed a strong political philosophy into various leftist indoctrination programs. All paid for at US taxpayer expense.

But seriously this isn't needed at all.

Obama Youth = Comp Force/COMPNOR

"CompForce was the military wing of COMPNOR, created to provide Emperor Palpatine with an army of utterly loyal soldiers separate from the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. Stormtroopers were trained to obey orders without thinking, but at the same time, they were proudly independent of the line military; CompForce units, in contrast, were embedded within the hierarchy of the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy, and their members were motivated primarily by conscious adherence to the tenets of the New Order. In theory, they were shock troops and officer candidates; in effect, they were security troops and political police, answerable to the New Order's ideologues rather than the High Command—an army within the Army, designed to tighten the grip of the Imperial hierarchy on the military."

The DNC is short on money for this convention, and yet they're renting out a bigger stadium for his coronation, even as it's the only part of the 4 days (or is it 3?) for which the networks will provide wall-to-wall coverage. In other words, he could be in a room by himself accepting the nomination and he'd have the same national reach as if he was in a big stadium.

Of course, it also begs the question what happens if it rains when he's supposed to be accepting the nomination? Why take chances and impose additional costs of multiple venues.

Again, goes back to the fact that he couldn't care less what things cost. It's all about image.

Obama's civilian workers sound like Hugo Chavez' communist Bolivarian Circles. These are armed civilians groups that answer to him only. The Circles run the local governments and are immune from prosecution. If you have ever seen little 3 year old chinese children in military uniforms, then you know what Chavez wants.

So, as President, he would spend Pentagon-budget funding levels on a youth force that he didn't elaborate on except to portray it in terms of national security.

I'll bet if McCain proposed such a thing, those nice people in the LLL would have a field day with it, accusing him of planning genocide. So, what's a workforce of this size going to be used for?

I don't think so- I think there will be plenty of people willing to join so they can browbeat the remainder of the population into doing the will of Dear Leader.

All these hundreds of thousands of youth, rushing out to do "community service" to earn the financial reward (See, here Obama understands that capitalism - a reward for an action, is the only thing that really will work), all these youth will NOT find an equal number of leftist and rightist causes, or very many that are apolitical.

No, instead they will find thousands of leftist groups eager to get their hands on new recruits and teach them the "truth." We think kids are brainwashed NOW, with just school and the media working on them. Wait until millions of kids are physically and emotionally invested in these leftist causes.

This may, or may not be true. But it is now way too early to start the "hitler" name calling we rightly criticized the Leftists of doing.

Interestingly enough, I have been asking myself lately how the Right will respond of McCain doesn't win. I wonder if we will respond the way we suggested the Left do during Bush's terms, or if we will just become the whiny, complaining, "Obama is Hitler" types we criticized the Left of being. I expect to snidely say alot of "Respect the Office", in the upcoming 4 years.

As discussed in a thread last week when this came up: Tempting as it is to read this as a proposal for Círculos Bolivarianos and brown shirts, I think it reads more like typical Barry unthinking blather. He calls it a "a civilian national security force", but it seems to have nothing to do with security. It's feel-good crap about teenagers doing "national service". I'm really not worried about having to stock up on ammo to face down the Barry Brigades. (Not based on this, anyway.)

He won't need to draft people into this. They will willingly sign up so that their thuggish fantasies will then carry an air of legitimacy.

re: #160 WrathofG-d

True on the Hitler thing, BUT -- I think it's fair to point out the connections between Obama's ideology and fascism; there is a strong kinship going back to the Progressive era.

Could he be ANY MORE ignorant?

Let's have another group of people walking around in charge. And who is in charge of the In Charge? And while they debate that, who is going to actually do some work on anything?

Change......what is left after you pay for all this increased security...

Throw money at everything and see what works...so we will know what doesn't work and throw more money at it.....

No need to ask what he is thinking....he isn't. He throws out all of this crap and doesn't even know what he is saying. STUPID. And worse, pandering STUPID.

You really don't want to know the answer to that, do you?

With millions of well-indoctrinated eyes and ears out there; it shouldn't take too long to identify all the homophobes, Zionists, male chauvinists, Islamophobes, hate-speakers, and (last but not least) embittered gun-owners; and get them into mandatory rehab.

Obama likes to skip formalities, like voting. In a letter sent to me under his name, he wrote: "That's the party I'm proud to lead as your nominee for President of the United States." Odd that already claims the title even though the convention voting has not been done. Legalities don't really matter to him.

Is he even aware that the Department of Defense’s current base budget is close to $500 billion? Obama is going to create a civilian force with this level of funding and equipment? To do what?

He won't say what his agenda is, and what the purpose of his $500 billion Obama Youth program will be. They will be dedicated to him, and that's all that matters. They will be his personal force for carrying out something that he won't tell us about until he is elected.

This is a guy with a 'Nuremberg' complex, who seeks to imitate as much as possible the rallies for the NSDAP.

re: #145 Sharmuta

I don't think so- I think there will be plenty of people willing to join so they can browbeat the remainder of the population into doing the will of Dear Leader.

'Dear Leader' is written wrong Sharm, it's spelt 'Der Führer'.

re: #168 Lucius Septimius

Ok. But in that case many of the similarities brought out by the Left between Bush and Hitler were right then also.

I would instead compare Obama to Communist Dictators. (although that comparison might also not be fair as he hasn't murdered millions of dissidents)

Well, he was The King.

"Comparisons to the Nazis and Hitler Youth are a bit extreme. Obama is not a fascist."

Not a fascist yet, you mean. Sounds to me like he's just one presidential election short of becoming one.

Obamajungend!

The most rabid of Hitler's supporters were those forced to join
the Hitlerjungend. Youth are easier to indoctrinate and
Hitlerjungend program was particularly intense in that regard.

I don't know but I think I'm sensing some desperation from
Obama. I'd like to see some "real" polls about his standing
among those most likely to vote in November. You won't likely
find those kinds of polls in the MSM but all this talk of a coronation
is simply methane exhaust.

Did anyone catch Iowahawk's take on this? He nailed this -- some

More on the American Protective League.

It's also worth mentioning that newspaper editors and journalists did go to jail during WWI for anything deemed as un-American by an Democrat President. So much for dissent being patriotic.

re: #159 limitbreak22

I dont think its extreme

I think he is extreme

Thats why he wont win period

He is a loser candidate

Nothing he says no matter how weird, absurd, or just silly will make any difference. His official website could glorify National Socialism (based on some of the blogs there that's not a stretch apparently) and he'll get elected. He could state tomorrow that he is going to outlaw the automobile to save Mother Gaia and he'll still get elected. His presumptive pick for Secretary of Defense could say that US foreign and military policy should be formulated by asking "What would Winnie the Pooh do?" and he'll still get elected.

Here in San Diego, a once solid conservative area, I've seen 100+ car strong impromptu and unofficial parades erupt on city streets for Obama, when he's not even here, heck, not even in the US at the time.

The fervor of his supporters is just creepy especially since it seems they can't even define anything, policy or otherwise about the guy. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Democrat nomination ceremony in that stadium turn out to be like a Sun Myung Moon mass wedding event.

By fastening your saftey belts and stepping towards the ledge He is handling the money. He is serving the food. He is now accepting callers. He is calling me "DUDE!"

We can all sing along in the tune of "Horst Wessel"?

re: #66 Ford_Prefect

Do you think he is aware that our military is made up of civilians?

Somehow, I don't think that thought managed to cross the great, cavernous recesses of his brain.

Obama will recruit 75000 volunteers during his nomination speech. They will all be given t-shirts with the Obama seal.

As the old proverb has it, 'The last shirt has no pockets' ..

The current military budget is around 3.7% of the GDP, more than France's 2.6% and less than Saudi Arabia's 10%. This is historically low for the United States since it peaked in 1944 at 37.8% of GDP (it reached the lowest point of 3.0% in 1999-2001 under Clinton. Even during the peak of the Vietnam War the percentage reached a high of 9.4% in 1968. Because the U.S. GDP has risen over time, the military budget can rise in absolute terms while shrinking as a percentage of the GDP.

.

as a historical precedent, the WoT is underfunded while other entitlement programs are over funded. We have to wait for the New New Deal called uncreatively, "Change". Mandatory community service is a leftist organized "Militia" for our youth. What purposed does this serve and what is the mission and objective of this new "Youth" program where get get a budget equal to National Defense?

I expect this civilian force to enforce such ridiculous laws as bans on trans fats, fried food in general, smoking, spitting, public displays of affection, and anything else the fascist wing of the Democratic party can come up with.

Wonder what Obama would do about this real-world situation, instead of fantasizing about a $trillion dollar Americorps force:

Russia Warns of Military Response If U.S.-Czech Missile Defense Agreement Approved
Tuesday, July 08, 2008

MOSCOW — Russia will be forced to make a military response if the U.S.-Czech missile defense agreement is ratified, the Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.

The statement came hours after U.S. and Czech officials reached an initial agreement on deploying elements of a missile defense system in the Eastern European country.

Russia says the system would severely undermine European security balances by weakening Russia's missile capacity.

If the agreement is ratified, "we will be forced to react not with diplomatic, but with military-technical methods," the Foreign Ministry statement said. It did not give specifics of what the response would entail.

re: #20 JohnnyReb

To do what? Pretty much anything they want to if it actually happens. $500 billion a year can make a pretty fancy organization with about 2 million people or so. Granted I can't see them needing aircraft carriers or submarines so maybe they could get their numbers over 3 million.

Subs are a definate need. keep them off the ca coast in case someone wants to drill for oil.
