Quote from Obama -
""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."
The Myth of Posse Comitatus by Major Craig T. Trebilcock, U.S. Army Reserve.
Major Craig Trebilcock is a member of the Judge Advocate General’s Corps in the U.S. Army Reserve. He is assigned as an operational law attorney with the 153d Legal Support Organization in Norristown, PA. His area of specialization includes the laws applicable to U.S. forces engaged in operations in both the United States and abroad.
The Posse Comitatus Act has traditionally been viewed as a major barrier to the use of U.S. military forces in planning for homeland defense.[1] In fact, many in uniform believe that the act precludes the use of U.S. military assets in domestic security operations in any but the most extraordinary situations. As is often the case, reality bears little resemblance to the myth for homeland defense planners. Through a gradual erosion of the act’s prohibitions over the past 20 years, posse comitatus today is more of a procedural formality than an actual impediment to the use of U.S. military forces in homeland defense.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.
...the official website for Obama, Change.gov, announced he would "require" all middle school through college students to participate in community service programs...
..."Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year,"...
...In the interview, Emanuel was questioned whether participants in the proposed force would live in barracks.
"Somewhere between the age of 18 to 25 you will do three months of training. You can do it at some point in your college time," he said. "There can be nothing wrong with all Americans having a joint, similar experience of what we call civil defense training or civil service."...
...The blogger Gateway Pundit called Obama's plan the "creation of his Marxist youth corps," and DBKP commented, "'Choosing' to serve should be approved by parents – not required by the government. No amount of good intentions can sugar-coat words like 'mandatory,' 'compulsory' or 'required.'"
Emanuel uses his book, "The Plan: Big Ideas for America," to specify that he would propose, for all Americans ages 18 to 25, that they "serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service."...

Stop spamming your own damn thread, desperate child. There's no threat to be warning and fear-mongering about, stop such non-sense. I really thought Americans were more realistic and mature in their conduct, it just seems that it's the neocons who can't accept what is, we've found our problem. The minute I saw it was coming from a rightest Republican, I knew it was meaningless. Stop producing fear-mongering negative energy, the man isn't inaugurated yet for Pete's living sake.

unfortunately this is how it is going to be from the republicans for the next 4 years. this is what they did to bill clinton, and it is not going to change.

What liberties have you lost under GW Bush? You ranters still rant as you did in 1999.Michael Moore got filthy rich while spewing his BDS.Oliver Stone has total freedom to trash the POTUS.Hollywood derides Bush even as it thrives under him.He has kept the western world safe from Islamo-terrorists for 7 years.You may disagree with him on many issues as I do,but he doesn't deserve what you are saying about him.
It is high ranking Democrats that want to rein in the internet... that want to enact "hate speech" laws. It is certainly possible that you WILL lose some freedoms under the upcoming nanny state. I wish Obama well,and hope he will grow into the job--quickly! (before you scream economy please look into who is on the board of Freddie Mac and Fannie May.AND WHO THEY SUPPORTED IN THIS ELECTION,and why people like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd only recently declared all was well in the sub-prime loan kingdom.. )The myth of Obama was birthed in the corrupt Chicago political machine,who own him lock stock and barrel.THEY will tell him what to do.

Why is it nobody is discussing the topic?
Obama is proposing mandatory service, in other words a draft. He is proposing a civilian security force with the same funding and equipment as the military. How do you feel about that exactly. Do those of you who voted for Obama fully support this mandatory service and a civilian security force. The Patriot Act was child's play compared to what Obama says he wants.

Bush has not kept us safe from anything. They are planning another incident soon to justify the declaration of a national disaster and subsequently martial law. They are planning for the US Dollar to fail and then they will bring in the AMERO, which will be hard currency backed by Silver. tricky huh..............The agreement was signed two years ago for the US, Canada and Mexico to form one Country called the North American Union. Other continents are forming the same agreements. It interesting that "SNOOPS" says that the North American Union and the Amero is false, so that cancels out the Snoops website as credible.........Bush is a liar, Bush sR is a liar, Clinton is a big liar and Obama is a liar, and McCain is just another CFR puppet and a liar......all of them.....One world government is planned soon. NSSM 200 is supported by evil people...........they think that a master's race is possible and it isn't....they will lose.
