#3 What most people don't understand when they hear about the Civilian National Security Force and how it will have the same budget as the US military is that Obama does not intend to raise the new organization up to the size and status of the military but wants to pull the military down to the size and status of the peace corps. Fill barracks and military housing nation-wide with homeless and the poor. Sell off military assets to countries with oil money to buy them. It will help make his other money promises work, at least in the short term.

#5 this is one of those ideas that will vaporize quickly

What he is proposing is essentially illegal as well as unaffordable and its doubtful if he could get 50 democratic congressmen to support it.

#6 If the guy wins, I wouldn't be surprised if the re-up number plummet. Can you spell C-A-R-T-E-R?

#8 he proposes brown shirts and yet the liberals bow down before him again.

#9 Because Liberals are not liberal. It's about attaining and exercising power to remake society to do their bidding.

#11 The "Brown Shirt" picture is an appropriate imagery. We have the police across the country now. I would assume the Civilian National Security Force would have different functions such as firearm confiscation, making certain people don't speak out against The Leader, nationalization of just about everything...

#12 I caught a lot of crap from some people several years ago when I was talking about DECONSTRUCTION--the goal of many in the academic/political elite to tear down society and rebuild it in their image.

#13 Obama, Ayers, Pelosi, etc. are all deconstructionists. It's very real and very dangerous.

#14 We've already got the Obama Youth, intimidation of those that question, racist connections, why not brownshirts.

I'm not one to take such comparisons seriously but damn if it doesn't look like he's following the playbook.

#15 This song has been running through my head a lot lately.

#16 you are wrong about using military barracks for the homeless... those are sub standard for the homeless... only suirable for troops. there was a base (closed by BRAC i think) in Seatle area. cant remember the name, but the libs wouldnt let hoeless live there. claimed that it was inhumane and demeaning for them.
