Obama promised that when he was elected, he would “fundamentally transform America.” Perhaps voters naïvely thought that he meant ending corruption, back-room deals, partisan bickering, and the arrogance that seems to infect Washington politicians. It is clear now that what he meant was a transformation from a democratic Republic to a Marxist autocracy. ...he brought his Chicago hit squad to Washington to twist arms and pull fingernails, when necessary, to gain control over his domain.

"Obama's private army? (Could 'our' president feel threatened?) "

He felt "threatened" as soon as he won the election; you could see that by having that "tank" of a limosine built.

He KNEW he was going to pull some bad stuff as "Placeholder of the United States", and he knew a lot of enemies would come out of it.

Now, if he wants to use his SEIU/ACORN/Panther/ex-con buddies to help him take over, I ask you just to watch one episode of "Worlds Dumbest Criminals" to put your minds at ease. If they weren't stupid, they'd have jobs instead of committing crimes.

None of the kenyan's minions have much military experience, training, or discipline; none of them believe in an oath, and we saw with Katrina how they took emergency funds and used them for drugs and strip clubs. If obama funds them, and gives them automatic weapons, they will eventually undo themselves. First it will be partying, then drugs, then internal fighting for king of the hill.

Our regular army probably has more trouble running the obstacle course than they will with this proposed ragtag bunch. They'll have one goal, kill whitey.

But obama lives in the dream world of a 13-year-old, and I don't think he can conceptualize the magnitude of the vast population of this country and the numbers that he is "challenging" with a "private army". The very term, "Private Army", denotes terrorism, despot takeover, and guerilla warfare. Most of the training of such a "private army" as been as gang-bangers in the inner cities who haven't had to deal with the ol' boys out in the country.

What the lefty thugs want to do is, vastly outnumber a few "examples" and highly publicize those to try and intimidate everyone else. But it will be like the mob scenes in the cowboy movies...they might get a few of us, but when they run out of force, there will be millions backing up the few.

Best thing we can do is NOT cow to their big talk...it's mostly fluster-bluster crap.

And obama? We'll he'll be like that Bernie guy from CNN who hid under the table in the Gulf War, chicken$h!+ to the core...or is that "to the corpse"?

He slammed Bush by calling him a "cowboy", and here is the skinny kenyan trying to play "Sergeant Rock"...too funny.

PAPA DOC'S READY RESERVE CORPS

The Milice de Volontaires de la Sécurité Nationale (MVSN) (Militia of National Security Volunteers), also called just the Volontaires de la Sécurité Nationale or VSN, was commonly called the Tonton Macoutes. It was a Haitian paramilitary force created in 1959, which reported directly to François ‘Papa Doc’ Duvalier and his son, Jean-Claude, until the younger Duvalier's ousting in 1986. The new government disbanded the VSN, but some acted as insurgents against it. They took part in the ensuing political turmoil, particularly in rural areas, up until 2000.

UNCLE GUNNYSACK

The name Tonton Macoute (translates as “Uncle Gunnysack”) originated from Haitian Creole mythology. It was the name of a bogeyman who walked the streets after dark, and would kidnap children who stayed out too late. He stowed them away in his gunnysack, never to be seen again.

Duvalier employed the Tonton Macoutes in a reign of terror against any opponents, including those who proposed progressive social systems. Those who spoke out against Duvalier would disappear at night, or were sometimes attacked in broad daylight. They were never seen again. They were believed to have been abducted and killed by the MSVN, who were called the Tonton Macoutes as a result. Anyone who challenged the MVSN risked assassination. Their unrestrained terrorism was accompanied by corruption, extortion and personal aggrandizement among the leadership.

I go back and forth in my mind re: what part our military will play if worse comes to worst. One day I can convince myself that no, the American armed forces will not fire upon it’s citizens, that they would never obey such an order. Then I think that should it come to that point, we will already have been portrayed as seditious terrorists, dangers to the country, traitors and I wonder. Once a segment of the population has been demonized sufficiently, no one cares and the general reaction is usually to ignore or accept the atrocities as being necessary. I like the notion of a previous post that suggested perhaps our military will one day oust this true traitor that lives in the Whitehouse.

I wonder if one group will where brown shirts, and the others black?

“The purpose of the Ready Reserve Corps is to fulfill the need to have additional Commissioned Corps personnel available on short notice (similar to the uniformed service’s reserve program) to assist regular Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.”

Hence Pelosi's "let's just vote on it so we can see what's in it" crack! The sane congress critters would have voted NO...not that there's that many sane ones left.

These are officers in the Public Health Service, not military officers.

I also like thus article from the Canada Free Press which says that Glenn Beck has been kidnapped and replaced with an impostor who went on O’Reilly and called for a 2% value added tax on anything.

I don't see anything in the Constitution that permits a national militia.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

This is utter non-sense---I've worked quite closely with the USPHS and its uniformed Commissioned Corps, with deep roots going back to the old Marine Hospital created by President John Adams in 2798.

Commissioned officers are mostly doctors, nurses, sanitarians, engineers, scientists, and environmental health specialists whose primary mission is infectious disease control and prevention. They have virtually saved millions of American lives, and should be regarded the same as the other six uniformed services (Army, Navy, Marines, USAF, Coast Guard, and NOAA).

While I'm fully conscious of Obama's desire for a civilian force of brown-shirt thugs to do his bidding, the USPHS ain't it. To suggest otherwise is laughable.

A group of doctors ready to serve in disaster areas is not a private army.

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military…we’ve got to have a civilian security force just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. "
