Wow a lot of hostility.
Just a question, what if this force is used in the exact way in which it is described? From what I can tell, hardcore Obama supporters are not the ones that are ready to pick up arms and do something stupid, in fact it is the ones who hate Obama that seem ready to do so. Not judging, if he breaks the constitution its your right as an American.

The funding for training a military home guard (as the Brits. would call it), is there, and could be put to use.

Would be VERY interesting too see what hardcore military career people think about it..I would imagine some kinda jealousy.

So where are the free speech bans? Where's the media censorship? The gun bans? The "centralized banking system"? I see no evidence of any of this happening, outside constant claims from the far right of what will happen "any day now"
The U.S. Congress and President Obama are already working on a reinstitution of the "Fairness Doctrine," which is going to shut down talk radio. Not might shut it down, but will shut it down. Regardless of what you think of the content of talk radio, do you not consider government intervention to shut it down as an infringement of Free Speech?

When the Cold War ended in the late 1980s, and the Iron Curtain fell amid great jubilation, we learned a lot of things about the communist indoctrination tactics that had been in place in Eastern Europe for over 40 years... We learned, for instance, that in East Berlin alone, 1 in every 3 people were "civilian" KGB informants, ratting out their own neighbors, turning in their own children, betraying their own parents, and generally keeping their foot on the necks of the population.
Welcome to Obama's "Civilian Security Force" — Welcome to East Berlin, USA.

Precisely the kind of blatant disinformation I am talking about. The "Fairness Doctrine" just got shot down by the US Senate a month ago....Seems Obama's not going to shut down talk radio after all
