And so it begins................... I never heard about this speech from July. Where the hell was this in the mainstream media ?!?!?!?
I'm sorry, but to me a National Security Force sounds like a very narrowly disguised attempt at circumventing the Posse Comitatus Act.
We have state & local police departments, along with a whole alphabet soup mix of federal agencies, and yet that's not enough ? Obama wants to create a force equal in size and equally equipped as the military................... does anyone want to ask WHY.
OK, let's get this straight. The United States Military is for the defense of this country. Civilian law enforcement is for protecting the citizens and enforcement of civilian law....... what would you need a NSF that is equal in size and strength to the US Military.
Hold on kids, I warned you, this ride is going to get really bad............. This article isn't crazy, if you consider the above statements.
Doom & Gloom ? I don't know......... but the Congressman makes a good point. Even Adolf Hitler was elected in a democracy. Remember what he told the German people? "Give me ten years time and you will not recognize Germany!" He was right.
Note: I edited the below news article only for room.
Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.
WASHINGTON -- A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.
"It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may -- may not, I hope not -- but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."
Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.
"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," Obama said in July. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Broun said he also believes Obama likely will move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national police force.
Obama has said he respects the Second Amendment right to bear arms and favors "common sense" gun laws. Gun rights advocates interpret that as meaning he'll at least enact curbs on ownership of assault weapons and concealed weapons. As an Illinois state lawmaker, Obama supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on firearms generally.
"We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun said. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential."
Obama's transition office did not respond immediately to Broun's remarks.
