This was discussed on local conservative talk radio in Greenville, SC this morning. Unfortunately the consensus was that the promise of better training, better public safety, better pay with the federal funds and program would lure many to support the plan despite the loss of local control and freedom. Other people's money trumps all I guess in the "transformed" America.
I just hope when the time comes and a Federal police force backs only Obama, they take out McConnell, Boehner, Graham, & McCain first.
