Does it hurt to be this wrong? Or are you so used to it that you don’t notice it?
Obama said:
“We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
He’s not talking about guns. He’s not talking about a paramilitary. He’s talking about diplomacy, police work, and all of the other things that governments normally do to improve security.

2 people in history have had a security force at there disposal 1) Adolph Hitler and his SS 2) Saddam Hussein and his Royal Republican Guard ! Draw your own conclusions why Barack Obama wants his own security force , no president has ever asked for or wanted his own security force!http://www.deathcamps.info/Nazis/Default.htm

Gestapo and worker brigades. He portrayed it as volunteer, but it will be both mandatory and volunteer. The loyalists volunteer and get guns.
I wouldn’t mind his idea as long as the states have complete control of the Civilian National Security Force just like they are suppose to have complete control of the National Guard. Its simply a precaution to protect from any would-be dictators.

the same thing bush did with his henchmen profiteering companies …in Iraq.
so you better behave yourself….the eyes will be everywhere. you won’t know who is spying on you……one persons who does not like you can accuse you of not liking the new policies and its off to GITMO with ya.
and good riddance it will be too.

IDK look it up on change.gov where he outlines of his policies. As a supporter I have been allowed to input ideas.

I really think he means the National lGuard with a broader role. Having our Reserves and NG in Iraq for years and years has decimated our capabililties within our borders.
