There will be no one left to protect you

Barack Obama wants to institute a Civilian National Security Force, a vast militia not unlike Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a personal army. He knows he would need such a force to protect him and to enforce his will on Americans.

Americans will have not seen such arbitrary power used against them since the days of the Civil War when Lincoln put the Constitution in the bottom drawer of his desk and set about arresting anyone who opposed his policies to enforce the Union on southern States seeking secession. The moral issue was slavery. The Constitutional issue was states rights.

If you want to see another civil war, just wait for this new security force to come into being. Obama would need it because the concept of posse comitatus forbids the use of the U.S. military to enforce laws within the nation. An army of domestic followers of “the One” would fill that need, assuming that all other law enforcement agencies failed to resist such a horrendous plan.

American Brown Shirts on the way.

[Unkosified]

Unreal how some Canadians can see what 50% of Americans cannot see.

Going to go over the Underground Railroad history with my kids again.

How could our own countrymen do this to us???

[FlingWingFlyer]

Kind of like Uncle Adolf’s gestapo.

The Democrats will rue this election. No matter the outcome.

[Regulator]

Just another Tribal Mau Mau Militia.

Ask cousin Raila about it.

Obama has only about 30% of our military supporting him. If he ever were to scam his way into becoming president, that support would likely drop even more.

Does Obama anticipate having to battle his own military—could that be part of his reason for this civilian security force?

I think that, God forbid, if something like this happened, many in the military, as well as millions of armed civilians, would make short work of any such force.

Let’s hope it never, ever comes to pass.

[1972BornFree]

Sounds like something we already have- the National Guard.

[Force of Truth]

I hope he doesn’t plan to keep power for very long, because this is just enough to send many Americans over the edge.

Step one; tilt the courts safely to the left
Step two; get the guns
step three; civilian stormtroopers

Does Obama anticipate having to battle his own military—could that be part of his reason for this civilian security force?

At a guess...yes. I think Obama assumes too much (#1 being winning the election just 'cause he cheats), that once anything happens, that those who voted for him will actually stick with him for the long haul.

[gundog]

The TSA with pistols. Bring ‘em on.

[realdifferent1]

...that support would likely drop even more.

I wish I'd save the article; I read once that the military will follow 'lawful commands' and about 60% said they will fire on fellow americans.

'Hooverville' comes to mind.

Had I not seen the video of Obi talking about this, it would be easy to write this off as a tinfoil-hat conspiracy. But I have seen the video.

Americans should be very, very afraid of this thug. Unfortunately it appears half of us can't get to the polls fast enough to enthrone him.

Don't forget Silence The Opposition (i.e., “Fairness Doctrine”, and regulation of the Internet). Hampering communications is a key to fighting a successful war. If your opponents can't talk to each other and others, organization becomes difficult. Fighting an unorganized opposition is always easier than fighting an organized one. That is the reason why the Obomaniacs attack individuals, to keep them in fear and lacking organization. It's all in Alinsky’s playbook. Obama was raised on that, remember.

[Mr. Mojo]

Perhaps this CNFS is what Biden was referring to when he said that the Obama admin. would make a very "unpopular" decision in the first six months of his term. Or maybe they're considering reinstating the draft after mass military defections.

“The Democrats will rue this election. No matter the outcome”

I will second that and move to add the MSM.

[Seven plus One]

'Hooverville' comes to mind.

Think 'Elian Gonzalez' times 1,000,000.
