I really don’t think that that happened. what kept us tied up in Iraq was Washington DC and tying the hands of the military. you presume too little on the abilities of the Mil.

ObamaFascism at it’s finest.

Sad part is America is falling with no resistence from the very ones having their earnings and freedom’s stolen by the state.

I never thought I’d live to see the time when so many would allow this to happen.

I’m ashamed of my fellow countrymen.

It should be clear to all who care to examine the record even fleetingly, that the anointed one doesn’t respect the Constitution, or the history and traditions of the US. His actions demonstrate his arrogant megalomania quite well. His use of ‘czars’ to assume duties formerly performed by Congressionally approved departmental appointees is but one example. They are completely outside the bounds of the Constitution, with no Congressional vetting process of any sort, and no accountability to anyone but BHO.
This man is seeking to cement his hold on the American political process, and implant his own brand of marxism on a country that appears ready to let it happen.

It’s time to take back the country.

Does he expect us sit by do nothing? I wouldn't sweat the details too
much, but this bunch of thugs needs to be watched closely.

They may by some twisted stretch of supra-constitutional edict (not lawfully chartered) but you give them too much credit when these Obama youth collaborators meet up with constitutionally empowered patriots it will be a replay of bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Before the election, obama told us what he planned to do. People like this writer refused to believe him. What did they expect?

“What concerns me most here is giving these young hot heads (think of the Black Panthers outside the Pennsylvania voting precinct) being given the weapons and training on how to use those weapons the military use, but WITHOUT being taught the discipline the military has. I visualize the Odinga mobs with high powered weapons”

Boy, *that’s* just gonna go over real well out here in Hillbilly World.

Note that NH1444 appears to require national service for EVEYONE, not just students. If there’s a bright side here, it will be watching my liberal friends get fitted for their “brown shirts.” :)

Remind me: Were the Chinese, Cubans, North Koreans, Poles, Russians and Vietnamese people armed when communism took over their respective countries?

Yes. And they still have guns.

Here's a comment clipped from the article's feedback:

The government requires national service from everyone. Military, community or a national level. The government can even assign different rewards and benefits for the type of national service. Those who do not wish to participate remain a free people. They are free to remain in this country and starve or they can exercise their right to emigrate to another country that requires they do nothing.

I particularly fear the, "The government can even assign different rewards and benefits for the type of national service." part. I guess if you volunteer at an abortion clinic you'll get to go to the best universities and enjoy special benefits.

Holy crap, what has happened to this country?

Yeah, I think it is naive to think that Obama is going to give us the advantage by sending out JBT's to round up Americans in front of the press so that we can get all the glory by stacking SWAT up like cord wood and get a pardon at the end. Stop with this stupid fantasy already. Nobody is coming for you or your guns en masse. We are going to see all of our rights taken from us in the guise of legality.

This sounds like the communist model, block captains and someone to monitor every single person in the nation.

This is what the ACORNization of the Census is working towards.

The first thing I did the day after the election last year was to purchase an AR-15 and Remington 870.

I encourage all patriots to purchase as many firearms as possible.

Gosh. Why is it that when I hear "civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded (as the U.S. military)" the first thing that pops into my mind is not the phrase "social service workers"...

Actually that action cost the NV support of the public. It focused on the killing of a bunch of nuns and disgusted the public who for the most part spying for the NV’s. After the public withdrew their support it left the troops hanging out on a limb with no food, logistics and intel. This led to Tet being a complete failure for them. We won Tet and broke the backs of the NV. The press won the war. General Gap said after the war that it was his plan all along to get the press to win the war for him. Read “The Art of War”.

The most honest in the Obama admin is that idiot Biden.

Told my wife that just yesterday.

You could not be more wrong. The Military follows orders. Plus the operational part of the military will be deployed overseas. All but two combat brigades are already in the sandbox and they are scheduled to head back this year. It is all part of the plan.

And what values would the government dictate you to serve and support. If you come from a Christian home, how can the government demand you serve in LBGT programs to help them, when they are contradictory to your values?

Why should you serve meals to the homeless or elderly who are not relatives and even if they are that doesn't mean you want to be around them.

How can the government demand you spend “your time” doing something that isn't a value to you?

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Forcing someone to spend their time carrying out your dictate is contradictory to independent American.
