What part of Civilian SECURITY Force does one not understand. Let's see, "Bigger than the military but not the police" but yet SECURITY is part of its name. Some of you recoil at the term Gestapo but I think that that is apropos for what is being talked about here.
Things are happening fast and there's a reason for that. To get things mobilized and be in place before the takes office. This has happened in every country that has gone Communist (yeah and many recoil at that one too) but one can call it by any other name, it's still the same.
and don’t forget just as well funded as our military!
GESTAPO!!!
YOU ARE RIGHT in everything you said in that post,
but I still think this thing presents challenges for us
in how to think and act on it. As far as someone like Obama is concerned, since he WAS in fact elected, he thinks that everything he said cumulatively in all his speeches is acceptable, got applause, was vetted, and in fact earned him a mandate which he can , at will, and if necessary, employ and set into motion. I feel it would be a mistake now to call him on this. That strategy would work against us in TWO ways: 1. It would make us look like deranged kooks, since he hasn’t even taken office yet, and had a chance to put anything into effect, and 2.
would provide him with too much wiggle room, and also an ego boost, since the thing demagogues like Obama love more than anything, if for people to approach him, hat in hand, and beg him to go light on them, or not to do something, or to please re=consider what he was going to do. This boils my blood more than anything else. The accession of Obama into the Presidency is Clinton Redux, but Clinton 15 years later, and on STEROIDS, and ready to push forth an agenda Clinton was unable to push forth. It is EVER so much worse, EVER so much more dangerous, since the world is infinitely worse and more tenuous since the years 1992-2000. Let’s let Obama GO AHEAD and start to put his Police State Gestapo Lite together. ONLY THEN will be able to make our case, indelibly. And the American Public will turn against him. To do this all we need to do in continue calling into question a few things which threaten his legitimacy, like, first and foremost, WHERE hundreds of millions of his campaign $$ REALLY came from.
I think your assertions are perceptive and
RIGHT ON.
