What IS Obama's Civil Defense Corp? Population Control?

I have posted on this issue in the past and find it significant that it appears again so soon. It does make one pause in that the Democrats, in our recent past history, have shown their preference for foreign leaders that had absolute power. Witness Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy found the old Soviet Union to there liking. Jimmy has a special place in his heart for Hugo Chavez and other middle eastern tyrants.

Will Obama decide that he needs to have absolute power to govern this country? What is the purpose of a strong civil defense corp that is responsible only to him? I, for one, hope this is not the case, but his rhetoric in the campaign and his history of befriending and associating with extreme socialists makes me wonder just what his motives are. Also I believe a majority of voters in this country do not know who Obama is, and worse, they don't seem to care.

If Obama strays from his constitutional obligations as president, will those same voters take a different view of this 'special' person that they cried over and fainted for during and after his election? I don't know -

My first reaction would be they will find an excuse for his actions. And as I have stated in the past, even when it becomes clear he is moving in the wrong direction, and we find our selves in mental and or physical chains, will a majority of the people that find him beyond reproach now, will they still believe he is 'the one'? I strongly believe they will. But that's just me taking the worst possible view. In the end, you will have to decide for your self what is right and what is wrong for our country.

But let's keep a close eye on what he does by never letting our guard down - keeping the faith all the while the battle rages.


Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship
By BEN EVANS – WASHINGTON (AP) —

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."

Obama's comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado about building a new civil service corps. Among other things, he called for expanding the nation's foreign service and doubling the size of the Peace Corps "to renew our diplomacy.""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.Hosted by Google
