A day ago, at the dedication ceremony of the National Defense University's Abraham Lincoln Hall, President Obama expressed a renewed need for a civilian national security force (MP3, 74:00 mark; DOD press release, transcript):
America must balance and integrate all elements of our national power. We can not continue to push the burden onto our military alone, or leave dormant any aspect of the arsenal of American capability. That's why my administration is committed to renewing diplomacy as a tool of American power and developing our civilian national security capabilities.
"Our civilian national security capabilities?"

Obama creates a new SS!
Maybe he’ll send ACORN to fight al-Qaeda. I’d watch that.
I'm not sure if HR 1388 is along the lines of the non-military security force idea, or something different, and more WPA-like.
It sounds like he just means basically the State Department - negotiating with our enemies so that they don’t help attacks on us, thereby improving our national security. Maybe naive, but not malevolent.
I’ll be meeting with my civilian national security force at the local range at 4:00 PM.
Actually, Acorn is to fight you and me.
Obama’s Hitler Youth. That is what I and like-minded friends have taken to calling it as often as it come up in conversation.

“Civilian National Security Force”
Would you like brown shirts or black shirts with that sir?
(And give my best regards to Il Duce.)
IMHO
I think he keeps bringing this up....to make some of his supporters happy. The truth is...to create something like a national police force...it’d cost billions. I think at this point...we’ve pretty much spent of the fortune for the next four years. By the time that Ford, GM and Chrysler get done...it’ll be 2013 before he can really put attention into this....with money.
The curious thing is that no in Homeland Security is advocating this. Nor can you find more than a dozen senators or representatives who advocate this. By the time that senate committees get done with this...it’ll be likely half the size that the White House dreams of....and totally without power. And toss in the fact that the FBI will absolutely not agree to be a lowly player in this scheme.
Thanks for the info.
Wouldn’t disadvantaged youth mean coming from the Hood?
“Our civilian national security capabilities?”
The translation is: obama’s jugan and the equivelent to Hitler’s SS.
Are people on Freerepublic generally aware a Peace Corps volunteer was apparently murdered Friday in Africa?
Sounds like Mugabe’s war veterans, except children. Who are impressionable.
“Hitler Jugend” (Hitler Youth)
And this is happening here in the Land of the FRee, absolutely unbelievable.
We’re gonna need something to replace our current military, once he succeeds in murdering it!
You’re right. But then again, had you told me this country would elect a open Marxist named Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency, only seven years after 9/11, I’d have said “fuggaboutit” too.
I wouldn't have a dog in that fight.
We have defensive forces, they`re called the national guard.
