This article seems to talk about the issues with a civilian “national security force” in terms of $$. But what about purpose? How is this different from Dept of Homeland Security, FBI, Border Patrol, and police? My fear is that this is a Gestapo of some kind, devoted to special projects, like: confiscating guns, monitoring media (including Internet) for “fairness”, enforcing “tolerance”, etc. Whatever the rationale, fighting terrorism will be a distant second.
We need to use Alinsky tactics and stock Obama’s Security Force with neo-cons....
From my somewhat limited understanding of life under communism, this will probably be the foundation for putting in place and supervising the networks of citizen spies who report on each other, turn in neighbors, co-workers for any suspicious gatherings, meetings, or disloyal statements opposing the “government.”
