Obama's 'Civilian National Security Force'

Politics | Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 5:48:57 pm PDT

Among the many promises and pledges in Barack Obama’s multi-million dollar infomercial, one statement really stood out: he announced that he will “rebuild the military.”

But somehow, at the same time, he’s planning a “civilian national security force” that is as powerful and well-funded as the US military: Obama outlines plan for national service.

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” he said Wednesday. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

The Department of Defense’s current base budget is close to $500 billion. So if he meant that promise, he plans on a total defense budget of about a trillion dollars.

What exactly is Obama planning to do with a “civilian force” with such an astronomical level of funding?

OT: PALIN ROARS!... Attacks Obama & LAT On Khalidi Tape-- "If There's a Pulitzer for Excellence in Kowtowing- The LAT Is Winning!"

PALIN SLAMS OBAMA & LA TIMES ON KHALIDI TAPE AT JEW-BASH!

Governor Sarah Palin slammed Barack Obama and the LA Times today for concealing a controversial video from the American public.

The tape shows Obama toasting a former PLO operative at a 2003 Jew-bash in Chicago:

Palin video

Palin demands the LA Times release the tape of Obama toasting former terrorist spokesman Rashid Khalidi. She calls the LA Times, "Obama's pet newspaper."

Here's Sarah Palin on Obama's latest radical friend in the news:

"It must be nice for a candidate to have major news organizations looking after his best interests like that... Politicians would love to have a pet newspaper of their very own. In this case we have a newspaper willing to throw aside even the public's right to know in order to protect a candidate that its own editorial board has endorsed. And, if there's a Pulitzer Prize for excellence in kowtowing then the LA Times-- You're winning!"

More... Doug Ross may have discovered two quotes from the Obama-Khalidi tape.

I would surmise that 0bama and Soros have thought this one out very carefully.

Next, carefully construct a domestic, partisan, quasi-military entity designed to enforce politically correct constructs across the board. Finally, carve up the budgets for our armed services through the "rebuilding" promise, and bingo - the effective consolidation of power in the hands of an oligarchy.

I've heard of a security organization that technically was not military. It was called "Guard Squads", better known in the original language as "Schutz Staffel". Sorry if I made a translation mistake: I don't really speak German. But Schutz Staffel, or SS, was technically a civilian security force. And, while part of it was extensively used in combat, it did not report to the German Army.

I left the mangled sign laying right there in the yard so passersby could see how well behaved some of the Obamabots are. No freedom of speech for you, McCain supporter! Well, the Obamabots didn't like that apparently because last night Obamabots tore the sign in half, further mangled it, and tossed it into another part of the yard. Additionally, someone (can't confirm it's the same Obamabot/s but it sure seems suspicious) stole the registration sticker off my son's car, broke into the car, and stole the CD player/radio and CDs.

Yeah, I know, brown shirts in pimpmobiles, and Joe Biden in a leopard-skin coat in charge of it all. That's how it will turn out. But maybe he's also talking about the nation-building one - that'd be Joe Biden in a leopard-skin coat, in Iraq.

I've heard of a security organization that technically was not military. It was called "Guard Squads", better known in the original language as "Schutz Staffel". Sorry if I made a translation mistake: I don't really speak German. But Schutz Staffel, or SS, was technically a civilian security force. And, while part of it was extensively used in combat, it did not report to the German Army.
Eric.

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” he said Wednesday. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

The Department of Defense’s current base budget is close to $500 billion. So if he meant that promise, he plans on a total defense budget of about a trillion dollars.

I think I've figured out how this jibes with Barney Frank's Defense budget cut claims: half of the Pentagon's current funding will be used to create Barry's Truth Squads "Civilian National Security Force". There ya go! Equally funded!

Searching some more, through a Democratic Underground Site, I found a link to the Free Republic with a new F.R. user pushing the March with a nickname like the one over at Who Is with the White House address.[Link: www.freerepublic.com...]

Step 1: slash the military budget from $500 b to $200 b
Rationale; You no longer need a modern well equipped fighting force at the ready, overseas, when your foreign policy dictates that you are no longer going to fight wars on foreign soil.

Step 2: Take surplus $300 b and sign up anyone who wants be friends of the new administration. This will be known as the US Civilian National Security Force. It will be armed and ready to defend the citizens against any internal insurrection.
Definition of "Insurrection" : Any personm or group of persons who seek to overthrow the administration whether by action, word or thought. This includes campaigning to change the thoughts and views of those who do support the administration.

AND THEN, FINALLY;

Step 3: Electronic chips will implanted as a matter of individual protection to ensure all are treated equally and recieve equal portions of wealth, welfare, healthcare, food and protection and such program will be overseen by the US Civilian National Security Force.

Everybody is getting it wrong; Obama is trying to pretend that America is in a Great Depression. He needs this in order to scare the gullible. Scared people will let extreme measures get put in place to "rescue" them, if not them; the other poor sods who so desperately seem to need help. It's a lot like Madison Avenue convincing people that they need a new product.......but this product is socialism.

When Obamaniacs tell me how bad off we all are, I tell them honestly that our business was up 13% last year and is up 12% so far this year. We have been in business 18.5 years and it's a very small business - less than $750 million gross. Our business is better than it has been for 5 years. We keep waiting for it to crash, but so far it hasn't.

This was in one of the links up top, but it makes for mighty fine reading:

Gun Manufacturer Executive Backs Barack Obama, Watch What Happens Next:
You've been ZUMBOED!


USA Today reports:

Dan Cooper CEO of Cooper Arms, one of the elite makers of hunting rifles, is backing Barack Obama.

WASHINGTON — Dan Cooper, a proud member of the National Rifle Association, has backed Republicans for most of his life. He's the chief executive of Cooper Arms, a small Montana company that makes hunting rifles.

Cooper said he voted for George W. Bush in 2000, having voted in past elections for every Republican presidential nominee back to Richard Nixon. In October 1992, he presented a specially made rifle to the first President. Bush during a Billings campaign event.

This year, Cooper has given $3,300 to the campaign of Democrat Barack Obama. That's on top of the $1,000 check he wrote to Obama's U.S. Senate campaign in 2004, after he was dazzled by Obama's speech at that year's Democratic National Convention.

Just minutes after the USA Today broke the story on the Internet, thousands and thousands of gun owners sent angry emails, called and sent boycott letters to Cooper Arms threatening to never purchase any of their firearms again.

Just 48 hours later, this is what appeared on the company website:

In response to the recent article highlighting Dan Cooper’s personal political donations, the board of directors, shareholders and employees of Cooper Firearms of Montana, Inc would like to issue the following statement.

The employees, shareholders and board of directors of Cooper Firearms of Montana do not share the personal political views of Dan Cooper.

Although we all believe everyone has a right to vote and donate as they see fit, it has become apparent that the fallout may affect more than just Mr. Cooper. It may also affect the employees and the shareholders of Cooper Firearms.

The board of directors has asked Mr. Cooper to resign as President of Cooper Firearms of Montana, Inc.

Daily operations will continue with the competent staff currently in place in Stevensville, MT producing the finest, most accurate rifles money can buy.

Dan Cooper has spent all of his working life producing the highest quality rifles built here in the USA. He started with nothing but the American Dream and built that into firearms company anyone would be proud of. We firmly believe Dan stands by the 2nd amendment.
We wish him all of the best in his future pursuits.

not sure if it has been mentioned but i just found this on Twitter:

"The filmmaker behind Obama's infomercial is Davis Guggenheim, producer of An Inconvenient Truth and Deadwood"

I thought I recognized the scent of self-serving smugness all over that infomercial. I think the difference between Barry and Perot was that Perot spoke to the people directly - he was weird and fidgety and slightly unnerving, but he was REAL and he seemed to be telling you exactly what he intended to do.

Sixteen years later, society is even more jaded and cynical about these types of things. Watching a hyper-stylized propaganda film that features Barry as the protagonist, the interviewee, the interviewer and the narrator is just not gonna fly in the YouTube era. It is going to be seen as propaganda by the middle and the undecideds.

You may well be right, but who will train these ... uh ... community organizers? And what will they be taught?

I don't think Killgore's right. Here's more.

Michelle's Boot Camps For Radicals

Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993. Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."

But its real mission is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about "social change" through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation — the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul "The Red" Alinsky.

"Our alumni are more than twice as likely as 18-34 year olds to . . . engage in protest activities," Public Allies boasts in a document found with its tax filings. It has already deployed an army of 2,200 community organizers like Obama to agitate for "justice" and "equality" in his hometown of Chicago and other U.S. cities, including Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Phoenix, Pittsburgh and Washington. "I get to practice being an activist," and get paid for it, gushed Cincinnati recruit Amy Vincent.
...
Public Allies promotes "diversity and inclusion," a program paper says. More than 70% of its recruits are "people of color." When they're not protesting, they're staffing AIDS clinics, handing out condoms, bailing criminals out of jail and helping illegal aliens and the homeless obtain food stamps and other welfare.

Just to be right about it, I think we need to take it in context. Read my #274. These are items he has stated all along he believes as being just as important as national defense. Although he stated: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said Wednesday. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded." He goes on in the next few paragraphs to list those items in my post #274. He isn't talking about an alternative militia. He is erroneously putting high school volunteer hours as being critical to our national security as the military it sounds like. Just his normal rhetoric.

357 Ayatollah Ghilmeini  Wed, Oct 29, 2008 6:48:55pm

A complete waste

Why create an entire new force structure when none is needed?

The US has 4 lines of defense- the regular armed forces, the most powerful military in the world and unbeaten in a major battle in almost 60 years. Then we have the national guard, which are an extension of the army called up as needed. Then there are the US police forces 200,000+ officers nationwide. They also have the power to deputize and call up civilians in case of an emergency. Finally there is the militia. That consists of the armed citizenry and numbers some real asskickers like AmericanSoldier, Iron Fist and just about anyone from Texas. In order to even be able to fight the last line you would have had to have defeated the first three, kids America is over then anyway.

What enemy can this force fight? Why spend so much effort to divide resources from an existing military that is already quite expensive?

A force equal to the US military is an unbelievable amount of firepower. it can ONLY be used against the citizenry. There are no enemies here to fight except Al Franken, and he is not very tough. Worse, from a legal perspective, is that these new units will be deployed to the sovereign states of the union and, since some governors are not democrats, will not be under State control. The constitution has this amazing concept called the bill of rights and the 9th and 10th amendments almost certainly prohibit placing an army in any state without that state's permission.

I know Gordie Howe is training thousands of left wingers to skate down the freeways this winter to conquest the Northeast and Midwest but I think we might be able to handle the threat without a new Armed service. The sheer absurdity of this force and Obama's repeated calls for its creation should set off alarm bells. This will either defund our existing military, a rash and dangerous course of action given the realities of the world we live in or it is an overt effort to be able to back up coercive laws against the people, or both!

The only benign explanation for this Obama is trying to say he will do something he never really intends to implement to seem strong on domestic security.

Otherwise, no good can come from this. It is an unconstitutional overreach of federal power, unnecessary, if abused, threatens our liberty and costs too much for no appreciable gain in security at the cost of money for the real military. Creating this force provides future Presidents with the ability to take arms against America, that is 100% at variance with the principles and purpose of our government. It is tyranny waiting to happen and yet one more reason for Obama to never be President. I will fight this to my dying breath.

Scene 1: The chocolate messiah explaining why he no longer wears a flag pin.
Scene 2: Bambi on a stage with his hands clasped over his fly as the national anthem plays.
Scene 3: Voice over explaining how the 0 went to a church for 20 years
Cue video of Jerimiah proclaiming "G-d Damn America.
Scene 4: To tell the truth, I don't remember what it was, I was so pissed.
Guy in a jacket and tie says
" America's not good enough for Barak Obama. Barak Obama is not good enough for America"

Sponsered by a PAC, not the McCain Campaign. Damn good ad IMHO.

Watching a hyper-stylized propaganda film that features Barry as the protagonist, the interviewee, the interviewer and the narrator is just not gonna fly in the YouTube era.

Of course. It will be NICE. No one is going to do away with elections! Doesn't Chicago have elections? Sure, ACORN and Co. will have full rein, and campaign finance laws will be enforce by the Party, and only the Party. And the Party will make sure that the media coverage of elections is just as fair as it has been in this elections, too! Except for all that racism and hate speech on talk radio and blogs. The Human Rights Commissions will handle those.

The Constitution? "The Constitution is whatever 5 of us say it is."- Harry Blackmun. Deconstruction! Can't be governed by the hand of dead white slave-holding males! The Constitution can mean anything you want it to mean. FOUR judges can't read the plain language of the 2nd amendment. All we need is one more.

We had those in Poland during the Socialist/Communist times. They were called ZOMO and were the most despised security force.

Here is some info on ZOMO translated by Google:

Bloody events "of the Poznan June" 1956, during which workers of the Cegielski factory demonstrated against the establishment. The use of troops and militias armed with firearms, have highlighted the leadership of PZPR (Polish Communist Party) need to establish a compact, mobile branches militia, ready for use at any time, appropriately trained and armed. New militias set up command of the Commander in Chief Gen. Richard MO Dobieszaka of 24 December 1956, received the name Motorized Formations of Civic Militia. From now on ZOMO had become synonymous with the most hated tools of repression in Poland.

The Poles called ZOMO in terms such as "zomole", "zomici" or simply "Gestapo".

Initially, the officers were in uniform ZOMO ordinary militia uniforms, additional equipment were only rubber batons and metal helmets military wz.41/50 painted in gray-blue color.

For the first time ZOMO appeared throughout the splendor in the streets of cities in Poland 20 January 1957, on the day of elections to the Sejm. It was a real show of force - the streets of cities and towns were filled with trucks (mostly borrowed from the Corps of Homeland Security and the army), in which sat armed with automatic weapons ZOMO.

They were usually used to disperse crowds and demonstrations.

The worst part about this all is that in spite of the obviously Nazi-esque undertones of BHO's proposal, is that how many people in this country simply don't get it.

re: #363 tracon

this was suggested by Thomas Barnett awhile ago
check out his presentation to get a better idea of what this would mean.
[Link: www.youtube.com...]
Not sure if this is what he means by this.

Oh and Posse Comitatus was violated by Bush a few years ago there is an army unit trained just for crowd control here in the US. 3rd Infantry Division is under control of NorthCom and is being trained for action here in the US mostly crowd control stuff from what i have heard

I don't agree or disagree just wanted to put out some info.

Where do you find a link stating 3d Inf Div is subordinate to Northern Command? Northern Command has almost no organic units permanently assigned to it.

3d Inf Div has one brigade trained for crowd/riot control. So what? The entire National Guard and Army Reserves have always received specific training in those areas.

What was the Posse Comitatus violation you are referring to? The last time troops were used in this regard was 1968, I think. In Detroit.

Besides bumper stickers, buttons and cartoons, may I suggest some not-too-complex logic bombs such as

1) The infamous 45 Communist Goals as handouts, 1-sheet 2-sided

2) 2008 CPUSA Platform, as brochures, placed nearby Obama/Biden posters in public places, and marked "free stuff"

re: #447 abolitionist

An example to illustrate:

Prairie Fire was a
a) manifesto by and for SDS/Weather Underground, advocating the violent overthrow of a capitalist, imperialist, warmongering and hopelessly racist USA, in order to establish a communist "dictatorship of the proletariat" in the words of its author(s)
b) public saftey manual about coping with brush fires in California
c) method of clearing underbrush that had been providing cover for the Viet Cong Freedom Fighters
d) post-election revenge tactic used by Obama's cousin's favored politician in Kenya
e) crappy Hollywood movie, even worse than Saving Private Ryan, Casablanca, Towering Inferno, or Gone With the Wind

Prairie Fire was written by
a) Bill Ayers and other members of SDS/Weather Underground
b) Ho Che Minh, in collaboration with John Kerry, Jane Fonda, Walter Cronkite, Sojourners, and the May 19th Coalition
c) Fidel Castro, who hosted SDS/WU members for training sessions in education and techniques for manually harvesting sugar cane
d) George Bush Sr's planning staff in the CIA
e) Rosy O'Donnel, as partial documentation of her research into the melting of steel

Prairie Fire was published in
a) 1974 when Barack Hussein Obama was a teenager and being mentored by Frank Marshall Davis, a radical socialist from Chicago
b) 1971 when US soldiers were killing women and children in 'Nam in the manner of Genghis Khan
c) 1970 for promoting 1st Earth Day and ecological awareness
d) 1968 as the policy platform of the anarchist delegation to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago
e) 1965 when BHO's parents found each other in the excitement of Martin Luther King's March on Selma
f) 1960 when BHO's parents found each other in a Russian language class at University of Hawaii

Prairie Fire has a dedication page honoring
a) Sirhan-Sirhan, convicted assassin of Robert F. Kennedy
b) John F. Kerry, for his Genghis Khan speech to Congress
c) Jane Fonda, for aid and comfort to the struggling Viet Cong
d) Mahatma Gandhi, for the "moral high ground" advice offered to, but ignored by, European Jews after Krystalnacht
e) George Soros -- Holocaust survivor, author, mover and shaker, and part time unofficial webmaster of factcheck.org
f) Bill Ayers -- recent Chicago Educator of the Year award recipient, described by Obama as "a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who I know" and worked with for years on a board, and “not somebody who I exchange ideas FROM on a regular basis.”

Well, not everyone is making such claims (and not even those who are doing so --ie, those who are talking about Prez Obama for Life -- might not intend their remarks to be taken seriously -- it may be jesting or deliberate exaggerations for effect -- it's Free Speech) But i think everyone here -- within the stated guidelines -- is quite free to speculate...(for example, I'm thinking -- in Canadian law, there's the War Measures Act, etc., and it wouldn't take much to suspend civil liberties -- I don't think the same exists in the United States...that is, the existence of draconian laws which can over-rule the Constitution...but, it's useful/instructive to consider or speculate about what an Obama presidency could entail...eg, could the Second Amendment be vastly curtailed? and I have no qualms about brainstorming these questions, considering all possibilities (perhaps discarding the more outlandish)...but it's useful info to consider nonetheless...(don't have to agree with any of the ideas either).

Obama chooses his scripted words very, very carefully. Throwing the term "national security" in there, and equating it with the military, does not fill me with confidence that he is talking about reading stories to the blind.

He is careful with his words, yes. I am not concerned with the creation of an ersatz Gestapo civilian Army filled with moonbats looking to do the masters bidding. It is something to keep an eye on though. I have no doubt if he thought he could form this group (in our best interest of course) he would. I seriously doubt he can do this, although he can create the groundwork for a future Obama to do it.

My immediate concern is his end run to get all these hundreds of thousands of people on the federal and state payrolls with full benefits and piss poor work habits that can not be fired or disciplined.

Obama chooses his scripted words very, very carefully. Throwing the term "national security" in there, and equating it with the military, does not fill me with confidence that he is talking about reading stories to the blind.

And we thought Bill Clinton was slick.

513 razorbacker  Wed, Oct 29, 2008 7:19:27pm

Friends, neighbors, and Killgore Trout;

I'm not so concerned as some here about an Obadin presidency. Oh, I have concerns, just not as many as some right here seem to have.

I have confidence that my relatives and such still in the Armed Forces meant that 'enemies, foreign and domestic' stuff.

But consider all those unfilled judicial benches. You know, the ones empty because Bush 43's nominees haven't passed Pelosi/Reid muster. What kind of judge do you think Obadin will send up? How long do you think it will take the committee to send them right along for a straight up-and-down party line vote?

That concerns me.

A fellow once told me (a Black man, if it matters) that every serious problem he had had been visited upon him by people wearing suits and ties or uniforms of some kind.

I'm feeling that fellow.

I just logged in and saw this and feel compelled to share something about Public Safety, emergencies and heavy handed government that knows what is right for you.

A year ago 12 houses on my street burned to the ground. Two still stand and mine is one of them.

Thing is, none of those houses had to burn. Not one. The fire that consumed them was burning upwind and took 48 hours to move 3000 feet and take out those 12 homes.

So why did they burn?

Because "Public Saftey" officials ordered an evacuation and then set out to arrest those who stayed behind. I was one of those arrested and then released without charge, but outside of an armed perimeter that surrounded my neighborhood.

I have my own fire fighting equipment including redundant fire pumps that use my pool and a secondary tank reservoir to supply an hours worth of water to two fire hoses at full pressure - plenty to save my structure and adjacent ones. Most of that equipment burned in the fire because after Public Safety cordoned off my neighborhood and then abandoned the area to simply let it burn.

Why would they do that? The City Manager decided that the area (with paved street and fire hydrants) was too rugged and dangerous for fire fighters to enter. So the area burned for 48 hours without any fire support whatsoever.

My house has a contemporary design that has straight walls with no eaves so it took flames burning over it for some time. An AP photographer even got a few shots of it from a helicopter (not that any fire fighting helicopters were in the area) and it was on the front page of several news sites because it looked like it was burning. Finally, part of the place did catch on fire (about 5 hours after the AP photographer left). We were fortunate that an engine that drove down from Lawrence Livermore Labs basically ran the blockade and put out the fire at our house.

Since then, only one of the 12 has started framing (that happened today). Another 2 are now working on foundations. The rest are either working to get permits (yes - it has taken over a year) or have learned that the cost of permits has been raised to the point where they can't afford to rebuild.

Several of us tried to form a group of volunteer fire fighters and were told firmly by the city that they would do everything they could to stop it because they "can't be responsible for our safety."

But they have no problem tacking on an extra $500 a year on my property taxes for special fire fighting fees.

Big government will always justify itself as acting in your interest. And they will always end up acting in theirs.

This new "Security Force" will do the very same. And even if it is set up to protect us, it will start to see us as a threat to them and ourselves, which they will feel compelled to act upon.

If you know anyone on the fence who has BDS ask them this - what happens with this force after Obama? What if it had been set up under Clinton and George Bush inherited it? Would that make them feel comfortable or uncomfortable?

My own lesson is clear - I have created a place on my property where I and others can elude the police (and a firestorm or even fallout) for the next evacuation. And I have exercised my 2nd amendment rights. I designed the new gate to my property (the old burned) so that it can used as an effective barrier against anything less than a dozer. And I replaced all of the fire fighting equipment that burned.

Am I paranoid? No - because I lived the fear that I am now prepared to prevent from coming about again.

This is problematic if the weirdos get a sufficient majority to avoid filibusters and such. However, despite the pronouncements of doom and gloom (I'm looking at you, Allahpundit.) about the senate, I don't think it'll be so bad. Murtha's likely to lose. Frank is actually taking out ads to defend himself. And these people are in supposedly SAFE districts. It's looking bad for the dems, and deservedly so.

I think it's highly unlikely that a dohrn or other radical leftist would get confirmed by people who have to face the electorate within 2 years. I think it's highly unlikely that public pressure would not work on Senators facing such a nutcase nominee. I think the PUMAs would work against such a thing as well as the right.

That was spoken like the voice of experience. If you are an Aussie, then you have been requested to disarm, under color of law, if I am not mistaken.

Actually I'm currently in New Zealand and we are under the thumb of a hard line socialist (Member of Socialist international) lesbian Prime Minister Helen Clark. Well for about two more weeks if there is any justice in this world and unless she can cobble together a disparate collection of single issue parties to form a shaky coalition.

In NZ it is VERY difficult to own a firearm. I can still remember sitting in a Plice station for 30 minutes while a spotty faced 20 year old cop forced me to try to justify my ownership of a shotgun!

Pistols .... forget that. You have to be able to prove that you can walk on water to own one of those! :)


In Australia the left tried to ban firearms. They instituted buy back schemes and eased up on shotguns as a sop. Thousands of old rusty longs were surrender and lots of shiny new shotguns purchased. The REAL firearms were all hidden until the left got sick of trying to find them. Amazing how many plastic may containers were sold!


Even supposedly liberal judges (and i know of one personally) kept family firearms illegally, buried them just in case.


All i all Australia is STILL VERY heavily armed. it's just that now the state doesn't know who owns what!

I agree wholeheartedly that we oughtn't create too much hype about the idea of a police state under an Obama administration. I can only speak for myself, but in an echo chamber such as LGF, I think we're destined to develop a little bit of ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome). Concentrate on his nutty tax and foreign policies. Oh, and will someone please nail Biden to the wall for proposing to split Iraq into three factions? That may have been the worst U.S. policy idea articulated since Jimmy Carter was in office.

I wouldn't put too much faith in the ability of the people to make wise (from my perspective) decisions in Senatorial elections. Perhaps I'm jaded because of my location, but when I walk down a street in Boston, I see far too many Che Guevara and 'Fuck America' shirts to hold any belief that the people of America care about America anymore. This is the danger of amorphous world citizenship. People need an identity to associate themselves with, and when that identity isn't strong enough (European Union!) then they'll seek out another identity. In Europe, it would appear to be radical Islam. I fear that the United States will succumb to an identity crisis of our own unless we can invigorate the youth of the nation to appreciate their own country.

The best way to start is in the classrooms. I truly believe that a fair and balanced history curriculum will come out in favor of past U.S. policy, because the fact of the matter is that it worked. The so-called 'far right' needs to realize that the battle to allow creationism in schools has effectively been lost and probably wasn't worth fighting in the first class. We need to throw textbook authors like Ward Churchill out of taxpayer funded schools.

Note that I don't suggest a biased conservative history curriculum. I do, however, believe that fair and balanced history will bear out and support the idea that the basic tenets of political conservatism are effective building blocks for a functioning society.

I think Obama consider everything a national security issue: education, building codes, healthcare, etc. His line of thinking is to deputize this civilian "army" with federal powers to enforce an Obamic ideology for the goal of a new communist America.

Imagine, thousand of civilian "soldiers" in our states enforcing the edicts of Barack Obama.

Hi there! This is a tangent, but does anyone else around here get the FactCheck.org emails? Has anyone else noticed that they seem to be mainly correcting the things against Obama, and not anything against McCain?

I got an email from someone accusing snopes of doing the same thing - being pro-Obama. The email was circulating in an attempt to warn people about the site being very liberal and not to believe everything it debunks about Obama.

Factcheck.org being in the tank for Obama was discussed extensively over at Nationalreview.com a couple of weeks ago. Supposedly they are owned/operated by Obama supporters and have lost the impartiality they had during the 2004 elections. Check the blogs at NRO, especially "the corner", "the campaignspot", and "mediablog" for details. I suffer from CRS so don't remember details.

But seriously, considering that such so much of the DOD's budget goes into R&D, Procurement, and operations and sustainment, I can't possibly figure out how he can justify such an expedniture.

re: #214 willowone

and; It appears the Senate version is being pushed not only by Biden and Obama, a member of the committee, but Lugar, the ranking Republican member. Lugar has worked with Obama in the past to promote more foreign aid for Russia, supposedly to stem nuclear proliferation, and has become Obama's mentor.

60 Minutes did a piece (I know, I know...but, it is a decient explaination of the credit problems) on the 'Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000', AKA 'Credit default swaps'...Anyway, our favorite RINO, Lugar was a ring leader on the R side of the "bipartisan" ledger.

Info? from a post there:
"The "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000" (H.R. 5660) was introduced in the House on Dec. 14, 2000 by Rep. Ewing (R-IL) and cosponsored by Rep. Bliley, Jr. (R-VA) Combest (R-TX) LaFalce (D-NY) Leach (R-IA) and never debated in the House.
The companion bill (S.3283) was introduced in the Senate on Dec. 15th, 2000 (The last day before Christmas holiday) by Sen. Lugar (R-IN) and cosponsored by Fitzgerald (R-IL) Gramm (R-TX) Hagel (R-NE) Harkin (D-IA) Johnson (D-SD) and never debated in the Senate.
The bill by-passed the substantive policy committees in both the House and the Senate so that there were neither hearings nor opportunities for recorded committee votes. In substance, it appears that the leadership of the Republican-controlled Senate and House incorporated the deregulation of credit default swaps into an omnibus budget bill (without hearings or recorded votes)..."

Gotta love hate it when someone supposidly from 'our side' is helping Chairman MaoBama, and helped to sink the ship of State ;(

re: #116 alien_mind

The civilian security force can be constructed to be:

- Defined outside of the legal constricts of current law enforcement limits.
- Provided access to both intelligence and personal information without restriction.
- Be moved across state lines as a Federal oversight entity.
- Control and assist the troubled zones in providing aid and maintaining order local law enforcement breaks down.
- Perform paramilitary operations other than war.
- Gain, or remove the hearts and minds of the people.
- Propaganda and peace projection.
- More important try diminish the states inability to maintain order in the fictitious boundaries.
- Allow the excutive to ensure order and calm through the cabinet member to be appointed.

The pesky need to ask the states for use of the National Guard causes urban disasters to fester longer than needed.

re: #156 ciaospirit

I'll tell you what we have to look forward to. As many of you know, my McCain/Palin sign was ripped out of the ground and mangled a week or so ago. I left the mangled sign laying right there in the yard so passersby could see how well behaved some of the Obamabots are. No freedom of speech for you, McCain supporter! Well, the Obamabots didn't like that apparently because last night Obamabots tore the sign in half, further mangled it, and tossed it into another part of the yard. Additionally, someone (can't confirm it's the same Obamabot/s but it sure seems suspicious) stole the registration sticker off my son's car, broke into the car, and stole the CD player/radio and CDs.

Shame on me for expressing my right to free speech by having a McCain sign in my yard.

I saw a huge McCain Palin sign near my parents house that was vandalized with graffiti. One side had a swastika and the other side had McCain covered up with Dumb and Palin covered up with Dumber. Stay classy Obamatrons. This is what happens when the Kos kids take over the party and their presidential candidate tells supporters to get in their faces!

I'm actually not that scared of garden variety angry liberals. Here in my neck of the woods, I've had plenty of heated arguments with hysterical nitwits who leap to their feet shouting and pointing angrily only to meekly sit right back down the minute I stand up. What does make me profoundly uneasy is the idea of Obama, given the types of violent, committed and unrepentant psychos he surrounds himself with, choosing and funding a private army. And that none of his hypnotized minion recognize it for what it is. Whether or not he can pull it off remains to be seen, but that he wants it and his followers don't have a problem with it is scary.

re: #636 skywarner

Dennis Miller isn't alone. Every time BHO talks, it sounds more and more like the script of the mini-series "V".

WTF is a "National Security Force?" And, the alleged "One" wants to fund it on a level on par - with the US Armed Forces - during a time of war. Again, WTF?!?! I know BHO is far from a military genius, but even my 8 year old knows that we already have a national security force -- it's called the National Guard.

Or the movie V for Vendetta.

The idea is beyond insane. It is truly senseless.

Take this seriously, folx. Our freedoms aren't a laughing matter. Look at your life and those you love just to get a grip on what this could mean. I mean, I don't what it means, but I can't think of any thing positive about the idea.

Btw, I've never believed the notion that leftists are against military force. They never had a problem with the Soviets wielding it brutally against innocent people. They are just against military force being used in the cause of freedom. They spew venom galore at American military forces, which have always worked noble causes.

If anyone wants to listen to the speech that this thread is based on, I have posted it here often. It is, I think, one of the most revealing speeches that Obama has given. It reveals his worldview in a way that few if any of his other speeches have done.

I strongly urge that every Lizard listen to it not just once, but several times.

Obama declares his intent to ask for our service.

He means it.

To Obama, serving the Community (the government) is an act of piety. It is important to understand that about Obama.

How do you propose to see that through?

My limerick (646) offered a hint, if only a fancy. But looking at a map of how the states' may break in the electoral college this year, I'd say that any possible secession would have to center in Texas, spread north to Oklahoma, maybe above; and east to the first seven states of the old Confederacy.

The realities of world economics make this unlikely, no matter how odiously Obama in the Secretariat and Pelosi/Reed in the Politburo may want to legislate the arrival of Soviet man; and the jackels that lead the packs of Russia, China, the jihadi states, the Aztlandis, et. al. would be waiting to rend the corpse.

Some people, however, may be asking themselves: why, if we stand on the brink of destruction, shouldn't we take the risk, to try, at least, to preserve a remnant of a free republic? I in my senectitude do spin the fancy, but it will be younger people--say, disgruntled veterans of our war to liberate Iraq, subverted by a President who is no Commander in Chief--who will decide.

671 SaracensAtTheGates  Wed, Oct 29, 2008 8:57:22pm

The National Guard is already in place. Some states even have "state defense forces" (SDFs) that cannot be called into federal service like the National Guard so they remain under state control (32 U.S.C. § 109 ). If he is talking about providing funding for the existing SDFs, that might be OK but it would be a sort of block grant program for defense. States may not engage in acts of war except in case of actual invasion (. If Islamic jihadists are correctly treated as foreign military belligerents who have "invaded" the United States instead of being domestic law enforcement problems, a beefed up SDF system might just be the right ticket. If such was the case, we wouldn't have to worry about habeas corpus, search warrants, Miranda, etc. Instead, we would be talking about the Law of War and Geneva Conventions.

This all ties together now, with what the former FBI agent who was in the Weather Underground with William Ayers, when Ayers said that up to as many as 25 million Americans would need to be eliminated because they wouldn't go through the "re-education."

I am thankful that over half of ALL U.S. households have firearms in them, and that the number of law abiding hard working American firearms owners exceeds 100 million, and that the Supreme Court is at least still a majority for firearms owners Constitutional rights.

It's great, also, that Americans, by the millions, are taking firearms defense training courses.

Obama may want a civilian defense corp, to try and acheive his, and William Ayers "dream" of a "re-educated" America.

680 hermit  Wed, Oct 29, 2008 9:13:23pm

I've had this brewing in my head too long...someday in the future...a letter:

My Dearest Johnny,
I hope your foster parents let you read this. Your father and I love you and miss you every day. You are old enough now to know what really happened.
When you were seven years old, the school psychiatrist diagnosed you with ADHD and recommended that you be placed in a "special needs" class. I wanted to argue, but thought they knew best how to get you the education you needed.

When the Federal Health Care worker assigned to your school insisted you be place on medication, I did argue, with all my heart. Your father spoke to the principal and the district superintendent, but they insisted. In fact, we were told if we continued to fight, we would be charged with child abuse.

You were almost nine when your father and I decided on home schooling. Although my college degree was in Industrial Engineering and your father's in Accounting, I was confident in our ability, with the support of homeschooling resources across the country, to find the right curricula and offer you the best education. That was just before our state required certification for homeschooling parents. I was told you would be considered truant until my certification was complete. Given the refresher courses and tests required, the best I could hope for was to bring you back home the following school year.

The government takeover of the banks caused your father's job to be "downsized" and I could no longer afford to go to school. We both had to work to support the family. With the increased taxes on businesses, it was difficult to find work that matched our educations, so we took what we could find.

We received a letter from the Federal Health Care Worker at your school that your home situation did not offer you enough supervision since your father and I were working opposite shifts. Two days later, the Civilian Security Officers came to our home to collect your things. While you were at school, you had been placed in a "Ward of the Government" status and assigned temporary housing.

Continue if you like.....

Oh yeah, this'll NEVER happen.

I apologize if this has already been said, but LGF is crawlling so slowly that I haven't read all the comments. (Also, I didn't watch the Obamarathon tonight.)

1. If he slashes the current military budget to, say, ten thousand dollars, it'll be easy for him to fund another quasi-military force for an equal (or greater) amount.

2. I have a feeling this "Civilian National Security Force" will be like the roaming bands that Noriega had in Nicaragua, or Mugabe has in Zimbabwe, or perhaps like the "religious police" in Iran or Saudi Arabia. The "religion" in this case will be Obamania. They'll be there to make sure no one steps out of line with any notion of this "freedom" jazz.

Whatever it is, it sounds ominously like a police force answerable only to him.

Hey, why don't we tax imports and leave Americans alone? Like we used to?
Why don't we investigate why the same American medicine is sold in Canada and overseas for much less?
Why don't we decide that cheap fuel is vital to the American economy and do something....increase supplies, or limit local taxation, or tie profit taxes to amount of fuel produced, thus encouraging profit as long as gas is cheap.
We could limit lawsuits and penalties while we're at it. Something high, but not ceiling-less. Maybe decide what would constitute a frivolous lawsuit..just an idea.

In New zealand there is already a National Police Force. The lower ranks are OK to about inspector level but the senior commanders are highly politicized and, almost to a man, leftist in outlook.

Mr Obama seems to attract anti-semites. From people blogging on his site to friends like Rashid Khalidi, Jerimiah Write, Bill Ayers, Malley, Walt and Mearshimer.

re: #229 right_on_target

You are right, the SS were disliked by the regular army. But SS was not the political army of the Nazis. Those were the SA, the stormtroopers. The SS was a part of SA used originally as Hitler's bodyguards. They were all that left of SA after the "Night of long knives". So, in a way, they were a non-military security organization that was just as strong and as well funded as the military. Exactly what Obama wants to create. Pretty scary, isn't it?

this is no joke on what color are the shirts.

Up, Up, Down, Down, left, right, left, right, B, A, START or SELECT START if you have a partner for Contra.

On the serious side, Considering that a Civilian National Security Force (we can call them all "Charlies") would take time to build, organize command structure and designate officers. Where are the majority of loyal Charlies going to come from in such a short amount of time and be trained for what exactly?

trained for what? that is the question which may have a scary answer.

as for where he will get the officers, there are many in his inner circle who would take up the roles and if your looking for manpower, he need look no further than our universities and inner cities. It'll be like ACORN's paramilitary wing. I say this jokingly...sort of.

and a man who is constrained by term limits (for the time being) can put together a force like this very quickly. Especially if a recession hits and many are looking for new work.

Off thread - just thinking early in the a.m., BO sympathizes with these Palis and says, to paraphrase, that Israel has had "favored" nation status too long. The change we need is to now side with the antagonistic arab (islamic) side. Ignoring religion, if possible, let's examine this statement. How does one hope to resolve a conflict by effectively changing sides in mid-stream? We have two warring sides; one side states their goal is to exterminate their oppressor and recover their dispossessed lands. The other side, whom we have supported now for 60 years, doesn't make statements about exterminating their opponents, and just wants to be left alone. If middle east peace is the goal, how does abandoning an ally facilitate this? Talk about Ahmadinejad trying to bring about Armageddon. Have any BO supporters thought through what Barry gives lip service to?

Hmm, let's see. This sounds like abusing the second amendment (creating an official, well-regulated militia) who are the only folks legally allowed to own firearms. So Obama's thug army and the American military (with 25-50% less funding) would be the only people in the country (save the police, hopefully) who could own firearms. Those bitter people, clinging to their guns and religion would only be able to cling to religion.

That is very frightening. I pray to God that McCain pulls it out.

they will check to see that your thermostat is set at 68 in the winter and 78 in the summer.
you will be taxed on your carbon foot print. and like the weather the need for the tax will change along with the need of the security department . use of
stamped reusable shopping bags for all kinds of shopping will be mandatory.

the tag line energy security is national security.

ok some of that stuff is over the top but i do predict if we get a national SS its primary job will be enforcing "green" laws, they will not go after eco terrorists (unless its a oil company) or religious fundamentalists or drug dealers. they will go after "fat white guys in SUV's"

Point out the media bias in favor of your opponent and call on Senator Obama himself to either ask the Times to release the tape, or tell America why he doesn't feel they should." Then offer the media a chance to treat you similarly. Tell them if they have any similarly incriminating tapes of him (McCain), to relase them immediately in the interest of full disclosure.

teenagers sometimes think they can do that, but a grown man?

Nobama is a VERY scary guy.

I expected an October surprise, but the housing collapse was a surprise felt round the world. They probably didn't intend to trigger a global depression, but they clearly do not care. It now appears to have achieved an effect similar to the Reichstag fire that Hitler used to solidify support.
The Civilian National Security Force would accomplish the purpose of Hitler's Brown Shirts, plus it provides thousands of new jobs, which Obama has promised. This time I expect the shirts will be red like those of ACORN.
George Carlin predicted thus: "When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts. Smiley-smiley. Fascism - Germany lost the Second World War. Fascism won it. Believe me, my friend."
And how did all this come about? Could it have anything to do with Alan Ginsberg's statement, when he realized the attempted revolution of the 1960s would fail, that "we will get you through your children"?

Senator Chuckie Shumer has also implied that America should accept the one-party rule of the Democrats. Can’t have dissent, you know.

Are these tactics by the Obamabots the kind of change they have in mind? I certainly hope not.

After seeing the other tactics that are used whenever anyone questions him or goes against his objectives, who really knows what he plans to do with another ’security force’ with half a trillion dollar budget? November 4th could be an historic day indeed.
