It's for our own good
And it will be an Orwellian Police State, too: Thoughtcrime is already subject to ostracism and vilification, and what with the UN ready to codify it, and Obama signaling that he wants to increase the importance and influence of the UN, how long will it stay out of the U.S.?
And why is this necessary? Primarily "to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack." Of course, to call the Muslim community in America to account and compel it to stop teaching Sharia supremacism and hatred of Jews and Christians -- that would be "bigoted." Of course, to halt Muslim immigration in light of the impossibility of distinguishing peaceful Muslims from actual and potential jihadists -- that would be racist. Of course, even to institute some kind of screening of Muslims who enter the country in order to determine their adherence to Sharia principles and to make agitation for Islamic law (stonings, amputations, no free speech, no freedom of conscience, etc.) in this country grounds for deportation -- that would be "Islamophobic."
So if we can't do all that or even anything close to those things, what is left? What can we do? Why, become a Police State, with armed troops roaming

“Instead of defending our borders and removing the enemy within, we are forced into this?”
Not yet, brother....
they’ll might know what’s coming if the government doesn’t have enough to send out all those welfare checks.
I’m beginning to think that there may be something to that Mayan Armageddon prophecy in 2012.
Time to buy a couple of acres in the mountains like my buddy just did.
Keep them off our STREETS! It's a beginning to get us accustomed to
having them around and in our faces. Much like Gay parades and now,
gay marriage in court.
As I will support our military to my death, I will not support any military
personal running around our streets armed and uniformed for combat. HELL NO.

“Time to buy a couple of acres in the mountains like my buddy just did.”
Better to rent. You’ll have a lot less to lose when the government confiscates the property.
Good point.
These troops will be under the command of President Obama. Hope that gives everyone a warm feeling.
Doesn’t the Posse Comitatus act prevent this??
Having seen the police (not the mayor) institute a curfew in Houston and the city of New Orleans confiscating guns, if a nuke goes off we will have no rights. No rights of travel. No rights of self defense. No rights.
Somehow the ole saying “Jack Booted Thugs” comes to mind.
Obambi wants a civilian police force equal in size to our military. Seems he wants to do an end runaround posse comitatus.
In addition to providing Obama with another $350 billion dollars to continue with the nationalization of our economy, the Bush Administration is now providing Obama with U S Armed Forces to enforce obedience to his every command within the continental United States. The United States has been sold out by the socialist leftists within the republican party led by GWB.
True, but engineered by the current president, GWB.
I’m not worried, almost all of them voted against Obama and will defend the constitution regardless of the administration.
Besides we may need them to remove Obama when its found he is not eligible to be POTUS.
Err...Wha?
I'm thinking there are a whale of a lot more socialist leftists in the Socialist Leftist Democrat Party.
Hell, cops already don’t care about unconstitutional no-knock raids and killing pets and people and risking their own lives unnecessarily—we already have a Police State army. They just aren’t coordinated yet.
