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.

[pissant]

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.

[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?

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.

[VR-21]

"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.

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.

SUBTITLE E: NATIONAL CIVILIAN COMMUNITY CORPS (NCCC)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/?&dbname=cp111&sid=cp111FreKS&refer=&r_n=hr037.111&item=&sel=TOC_418900&;

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.

I pray for our courage if and when the day comes Raptor. All the weaponry in the world doesn't convey courage to those who bear them. Nor do they give willingness to kill and die. Winchesters and Ka-Bar's are merely tools. The real weapons are in our hearts.

I'd like to share an excerpt from Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archepelago. It's footnote 5, from Chapter One of Volume One.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain if he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door, and every step on the staircase, but had understood that that they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush with half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers and whatever was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about that Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffer – what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if… We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation. We spent ourselves in one unrestrained outburst in 1917, and then we hurried to submit. We submitted with pleasure! (Arthur Ransome describes a workers meeting in Yaroslavl in 1921. Delegates were sent to the workers from the Central Committee in Moscow to confer on the substance of the argument about trade unions. The representative of the opposition, Y. Larin, explained to the trade workers that their trade union must be their defense against the administration, that they possessed rights which they had won and upon which no one else had any right to infringe. The workers however were completely indifferent, simply not comprehending whom they still needed to be defended against and why they still needed any rights. When the spokesman rebuked them for their laziness and for getting out of hand, and demanded sacrifices from them – overtime work without pay, reductions in food, military discipline in the factory administration – this aroused great elation and applause.) We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."

A few paragraphs later he wrote..."Every man has handy a dozen glib little reasons why he is right not to sacrifice himself."

I’m still stuck on “How did “we” elect Obama?

It could only have happened with full co-operation from the Republican carpetbaggers.

[popdonnelly]

There isn’t going to be a “civilian security force”. Not if I have anything to say about it.

[Nebr FAL owner]

Not communism but literally Italian model fascism . Yes you can still own your own company ie the means of production ,however the govt. declares that you may only make X amount of profit anything beyond that is siezed by the govt. That is Mussolini style fascism . We are in for a very rough time ahead.

Time to subpoena the names of the ACORN branch heads and their membership lists. This guy needs to be outed, immediately, for the Obamagoon he is! He handles that megaphone just liek the Palestinian goons carry their AKs in street marches.

[Who is John Galt?]

In his book, The Bill of Rights: Creation and Reconstruction, Akhil Reed Amar argues persuasively that the national military draft is unconstitutional, because it essentially negates the constitutional clauses relating to the State militias. The same arguments might apply to other types of mandatory federal service...

Not only is obama, michelle and rahmbo planning on military boot camps for our teens and older, (that will go to war if more military is needed), he is going to hand over the funds to his democrat alliances and others who paid for his election. Soros says America is fascist. In truth Soros is fascist and has plans to see Americas demise. Put the funding in his hands and control(?) will be a death sentence to all of us. Remember Soros collected property and wealth from the Jews as they were led to camps. He has no guilt he did that either.

The Democrat Party platform’s hidden Soros Slush Fund

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/20/the-democrat-party-platforms-hidden-soros-slush-fund/

“Social Investment Fund Network.” The program would provide federal money to “social entrepreneurs and leading nonprofit organizations [that] are assisting schools, lifting families out of poverty, filling health care gaps, and inspiring others to lead change in their own communities.” The Democrat Party promises to “support these results-oriented innovators” by creating an office to “coordinate government and nonprofit efforts” and then showering “a series of grants” on the chosen groups “to replicate these programs nationwide.”

This George Soros Slush Fund would be political payback in spades. Obama owes much of his Chicago political success to financial support from radical, left-wing billionaire and leading “social entrepreneur” Soros.

In concert with his mandatory volunteerism pitch and $6 billion anti-poverty plan, Obama called for the creation of a “Social Entrepreneurship Agency” to dispense the funds in unspecified amounts.

Even more troubling is how the Democrat Party/Obama plan would siphon away untold millions or billions of public tax dollars into the Soros empire without taxpayer recourse. Obama promises “accountability” measures to ensure the money is spent wisely.

Soros has donated some $5 billion of his fortune to left-wing non-profit groups through the Open Society Institute — which is committed to Soros’s militant ideology of toppling the “fascist” tyranny of the United States, which he says must undergo “de-Nazification” in favor of “justice.” The mob at Obama-endorsing MoveOn, purveyors of the “General Betray Us” smear against Commanding General, MNF-I, David Petraeus, is the most notorious Soros-backed political arm.

Point in case: ACORN. As I’ve reported before, Obama’s old friends at the Chicago-based non-profit now take in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers.

Where are fiscal conservatives on this far-Left boondoggle? Well, if you’re wondering why the McCain campaign doesn’t raise hell over this proposed left-wing non-profit/government pipeline, it’s because McCain himself is a Soros beneficiary. His “Reform Institute, ” a tax-exempt, supposedly independent 501(c)(3) group focused on campaign finance reform, was funded with Soros-funded Open Society Institute and Tides Foundation.

[anglian]

The GIVE Act’ H.R.1388 — “To reauthorize and reform the national service laws” — was introduced March 9 by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (N.Y.) with 12 co-sponsors (Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Del. Gregorio Sablan (I-MP), Rep. Phil Hare (D-Ill.), Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.), Rep. Robert Andrews (D-N.J.), Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Mich.), Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Penn.), Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.), Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (D-Texas), Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) and Rep. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii)).

It should come as no surprise to RBO readers that four of the original co-sponsors (33%) — Grijalva, Hare, Hirono, and Miller — are current members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus; Grijalva is CPC co-chair.

There are 25 co-sponsors, eight more of which are also CPC members: Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Penn.); Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.); Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), CPC vice chair; Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.); Rep. Donald Payne (D-N.J.); Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.); Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.); and Rep. Lynne Woolsey (D-Calif.), CPC co-chair.

You can almost expect more of the same 2002 crowd from the Congressional Progressive Caucus to sign on: Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.); Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.); Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.); Rep. Rosa DaLauro (D-Conn.) — or others who have taken the place of former CPC members. http://cpc.grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?ContentID=166&ParentID=0&SectionID=4&SectionTree=4&lnk=b&ItemID=164

[anglian]

The bill appears to be on the House vote fast track. “Because representatives of the House, Senate and White House have been working together on a bipartisan basis for weeks, the skids are now greased for quick Senate passage of the Kennedy-Hatch Act for national service, the only specific piece of legislation the president mentioned in his address to Congress last month. Differences between the House and Senate versions will be minor.”
Not only that, three guesses as to the membership of the Education and Labor Committee. Here’s a clue — Miller is Committee Chair. The others? Andrews, Clarke, Grijalva, Hare, Hinojosa, Hirono, Kildee, McCarthy, Payne, Polis, Sestak, Tierney, Tonko, and Woolsey.

There are three more co-sponsors who are not members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus — but are members of the Education and Labor Committee: Rep. Rush D. Holt (D-N.J.); Rep. Gregorio Sablan (MP); Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.).

Want to take any bets against this bill passing in the House? Any takers?

So. What’s the big deal? What’s this all about?

Let’s look at what the blogosphere has to say:
