Obama's Brown Shirts

Remember this? (see video at link)

Obama's vision of a domestic security force "just as strong, just as well funded as our military" ( and presumbly loyal to him personally) just got a lot closer.

The House of representatives has just passed HR 1388 otherwise known as the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act. This reauthorizes through 2014 the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, acts that originally, among other programs, funded the AmeriCorps and the National Senior Service Corps.

However, it not only reauthorizes the programs, but also includes "new programs and studies" and an allocation of $6 billion over the next five years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

When you look at the language of the bill closely,it gets even more interesting.The bill specifically mentions possibilities if "all individuals in the United States were expected to perform national service or were required to perform a certain amount of national service."

If these requirements were made mandatory, the bill says it "would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds."

And it mentions "The means to develop awareness of national service and volunteer opportunities at a young age by creating, expanding, and promoting service options for elementary and secondary school students, through service learning or other means, and by raising awareness of existing incentives."

Those groups of volunteers would according to the bill, be "grouped together as appropriate in campuses for operational, support, and boarding purposes. The Corps campus for a unit shall be in a facility or central location established as the operational headquarters and boarding place for the unit. … There shall be a superintendent for each camp."

Take a minute to think about the implications of all this, given the sort of person who's in the White House.

All of these things were hidden away within the 200 pages of legislation..and the bill itself was mainly billed as federal support for establishing the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on America as "a National Day of Service and Remembrance."

Some of the smarter boys like Duncan Hunter weren't fooled, but a number of others were..and the bill passed with an enthusiastic yes from every Democrat who's been on record as consistently voting against anything to do with our military or national security...Neil Abercrombie, John Conyers, Jim McDermott,George Miller, Jim Moran, Nancy Pelosi..and of course Keith Ellison.The whole crew was there, unfortunately joined by a number of people who I expected would know better.

Paranoid? Perhaps, but this bears close watching.Why spend six bil on this just now?

At this point, I don't trust the current occupant of the White House in the least. But you can't say I didn't give him a chance.

Not to mention that the scumbuckets at ACORN have been given billions in tax payer $$. This could get real ugly. Or should I say uglier.

[oldbill]

Messiah? I think “Fuehrer” would be better.

Let’s design the uniforms for the Obamajugend.

[Melchior]

Can someone provide the vote talley? I believe it urgent to know the Republians who voted for this open invitation to fascism.

[celtic gal]

in many of my posts I have referred to this toad as the Black Furhrer..got the idea from another Freeper.

[sten]

"just as strong, just as well funded as our military"

ACORN is going to have tanks, jets, bombers and infantry units?! wtf??

AND they are going to draft people into it?
AND they are going to have bases? (hell, the military has been losing its bases since clinton took office)

then this little gem:

the bill itself was mainly billed as federal support for establishing the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on America as "a National Day of Service and Remembrance."

all i have to say is... from which side of 9-11? pre-0bama America or 0bama's Amerikan al quaeda?

[screaminsunshine]

Well if we win back the government we can turn it in to the conservative youth core. Heh Heh Heh. Do not forge4t. Liberalism always results in the opposite of what it intends.

We meed a domestic security force "just as strong, just as well funded as our military", but just not controlled by the government.

Every citizen who is able (legally and otherwise) should be well armed and well trained.

If those commie b&(^*@#s would quit destroying our economy, we would be funded plenty enough.

[celtic gal]

I agree and also those who took a vote on the bonus issue. It is one thing to vote no on something they did not read..rather they do that than vote yes on something with this tone and double talk.
It is high time people begin to be told that the BF has no intention of being a President with no more than the possibility of 2 terms..he has the goal to be the Prime Minister( a less threatening sounding title) of the US if not President for Life or King. We need to point out all the similarities to Nazism loudly and boldly tho some conservatives won't believe it until it is in their faces too.

"Not to mention that the scumbuckets at ACORN have been given billions in tax payer $$. This could get real ugly. Or should I say uglier."

You could say "uglier," I suppose. I could say "archery, and blades at night." Another might say "take at least one of the bastards with you." There's much to be said...but what to do?

[TheZMan]

While we’re on the subject, has anyone heard word of his pledge collectors? Thought they were supposed to be out today collecting Obama loyalty signatures.

[raptor29]

Another might say “take at least one of the bastards with you.”

That would be my position, although there’s enough weaponry here to take a few more than just ‘one’ with me. And my friends.

[NRA2BFree]

I wish that man would go see his mother. LOL

Looks like Rahm-bo is gonna get his S.A.

[Bringbackthedraft]

What next? Get the red states to form their own civilian militia? Maybe they can call it the Red Front? Well if anything, this new deal will encourage more weapon buying. I think its over reacting. The way things are going I would worry more about our southern border than anything going on domestically. Its starting to warm up down there, Chevez will be producing AK 47’s soon and guess where they’ll be going. Los Yanquis will be the #1 target.

[Logical me]

Anyone doubt communism is here now?

SUBTITLE E: NATIONAL CIVILIAN COMMUNITY CORPS (NCCC)

Program activities and participants

The National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) is the only national service program operated solely by the Corporation. The NCCC is a residential program with multiple campuses across the United States with a focus on rapid response to emergencies and disasters within the region near the campus. H.R. 1388 adds a new focus on infrastructure improvement, environmental stewardship and conservation, energy conservation, and urban and rural development. The Committee believes that when the corps is not deployed for emergencies or disasters, the NCCC program can play an important role in addressing these national needs.

H.R. 1388 includes a provision that requires NCCC to set a goal of 50 percent participation by disadvantaged youth (as defined in the bill) in the program by 2011. Programs such as the NCCC provide youth with opportunities to learn marketable skills for employment, to further their education, and to gain self-confidence and increased empowerment in a structured, safe environment. The Committee acknowledges that the NCCC programs will need assistance in recruiting disadvantaged youth to participate and encourages the Corporation and State Commissions to work jointly in the recruitment of disadvantaged youth. Furthermore, it is not expected that every campus will be able to recruit a large percentage of disadvantaged youth from neighboring communities and other States. However, given the fact that the NCCC is a residential program, this should not negatively affect the program, but rather expand the diversity of the pool of participants and enrich the service experience for each NCCC member.
