Obama's Gestapo

I was chatting with a friend over the weekend who asked how my son was adjusting to his first semester of college.

"He's adjusting well", I said, "but I'm thinking with the democrats in control that he ought to reconsider his major (criminal justice) as the dems will, as they always do, cut back on police and fire".

"OH, NO!, he said, "just the opposite. Obama is going to put in a Hitler-model civilian security force".

I thought he was embellishing for drama and a laugh...and a hearty har-har it was.

Then, I saw this little pearl today.

A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.

"It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."

That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."

I was completely ignorant of this proposed Obama infrastructure.

Obama's comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado in which he called for expanding the nation's foreign service.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," Obama said in July. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Another lunatic idea covered up in the media blackout.

"We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun said. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential of going down that road."
