Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship, page 7

First, can all of you self-righteous people get off your high horses long enough to realize that not everything negative that is said about Obama's policies is the result of racism? For the love of all that is holy people, it's not racism to question the government, government leaders, or the policies they propose. I wouldn't care, and many others wouldn't either, if Obama was tie-dyed with multi-colored polka dots. His race has no more to do with people questioning the things he's wanting to do while in office than Bush's race had to do with people questioning the things he wanted to do and did do. I, for one, am sick and tired of every thread that has to do with Obama being filled to the brim with accusations of racism every time someone dares to question things that have come from Obama's own mouth about what he wants to do while president. We questioned Bush without accusations of racism, why can we not question Obama without it?

Once more in simplified terms:

Questioning policies, proposed policies, plans, etc. does not equal racism.

Then perhaps you won't mind explaining why you think we need a Civilian Security Force that is as well funded and well trained as our military. We already have a military, that most people here like to throw insults at and would like to see cut in half or completely destroyed, so why exactly is getting another 1.3 million people trained and paid as well as the military ok?

Where exactly do you think the money is going to come from to pay for this Civilian Security Force?

Why do you think we need a Civilian Security Force when we already have multiple government and civilian groups who take care of security in this country?

What exactly do you think a Civilian Security Force has to do with volunteering in the communities?

Why do you think we need a special government trained and funded Civilian Security Force for people to volunteer in their communities when many people around the country already volunteer in their communities without said CSF?

People already volunteer, there is no need for this CSF.
We have a military, police force, etc., there is no need for this CSF.
Our country is flat broke and our economy is heading down the toilet, we cannot afford another government funded anything let alone a Civilian Security Force.

So what exactly is "as well funded and trained as the military" supposed to be a metaphor for? I'm afraid you're going to have to explain how exactly you think that is a metaphor for anything.
