Compulsory service in a “militia” might well be desirable, assuming that said militia performed only the three duties assigned to it under the Constitution. See Article 1 Section 8.
Thanks for answering both questions. The one you did answer has a qualifier, too. I am sickened. So much for this message board being populated by limited government embracng, freedom-loving types.
Ok, I got it from the genealogical sites, so it could be wrong. My question is did they consider them to be part of the federal army? We have an ancestor who claimed to have served in the War of 1812, it’s even on his headstone, but we can find no record of him serving, but we did find a record that claimed that he served in the NJ state militia.
Seriously though, probably best to join ASAP. Best we have some spies on the inside to feed information out to true patriots.
Bring it on.
Bambi has no mandate for anything like this.
Old news.
‘...He’s EXACTLY what I thought he would be.......he IS working much faster than I thought possible...’
agree. I’m not at all surprised by his policies/positions but it is pretty amazing that, with less than 6 months into the job, he’s done so much damage.....whether thru people he’s put in place or by his policies.
God help America.
As a war veteran(Vietnam)I could NEVER fire on my flag or American soldiers.I’d sooner commit suicide.Civilian Defense Force?A target rich opportunity.F**k them if they ever come into existence.They would be culled from the street gang garbage terrorizing our cities.
I am still confident this will all remain a wet dream for Obama.
Even most Democrats aren’t that demented to allow this kind of thing.(I hope)
It will be called the Office of Homeland Defense."
Headed by Secretary Napolitano, a.k.a. "The Arizona Kidnap Kween."
I guess 0 doesn’t realize there already is a civilian national defense force. It’s called “the unorganized militia,” and is likely to fight his ersats ‘civilian’ force if he ever brings it into existence.
Obama could have this force up and running in a matter of months, if he put all his energy behind it.
Recruitment would not be a problem. He could find tens of thousands of thugs who’d have no qualms about killing innocent civilians. Black, white, Mexican and Asian gangs, in prison and on the streets, dirty cops, other dirty LEOs, disgruntled ex-servicemen and officers of all branches, foreign mercenaries, mob enforcers, Obama-worshipping fanatics, and ordinary brutes who just want to bust skulls.
Training would not be a problem either. Out of the recruits can be drawn many people capable of training these thugs in everything they need to do.
Equipment would not be a problem either. Some of that stimulus money can find its way to defence contractors and arms dealers, under the table and laundered every which way.
Look how he’s been able to handle a much bigger undertaking—destruction of the American economy—with a little help from his friends in such a short time.
Putting together his own storm troopers would be a breeze by comparison.
Those confiscating weapons from law-abiding citizens during Hurricane Katrina probably appreciate your loyalty. It might be quite useful to them.
national security force? sounds like a militia to take down dissenters.......how can this country allow this?
That’s what I should have said - I thought he would be bad but not this fast.
If he gets his nose any further up he'll drown in the first spring rain!
Just say'n, ya know...

Actually that would be Sturmabteilung.
“Barack Obama WILL REQUIRE YOU to work. He is going to DEMAND that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation and that you move out of your comfort zone. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage.
Barack will NEVER ALLOW YOU to go back to your lives as usual – uninvolved, uninformed – you have to stay at the seat at the table of democracy with a man like Barack Obama not just on Tuesday but in a year from now, in four years from now, in eights years from now, YOU WILL HAVE TO BE ENGAGED.”
- Michelle Obama, campaign speech at UCLA.
