...We can expect to hear this sort of ridiculousness from the uneducated masses but from a member of Congress? What a sad state our country's in, do they even teach Marxism in Georgia? Or do they just say "communism bad!" and leave it at that.

You here today are only a part of what is spread all over Germany. We want you, my German boys and girls, to absorb all that we expect of Germany! We want to be ONE people and you, my youth, are to be that people. In the future there must be NO RANKS OR CLASSES and you must not let them begin to grow in you. We want to be one nation and you must educate yourselves. We want this people to be obedient and you must practice this obedience. We want this people to be PEACE-LOVING but also courageous!

Allow a Brit a comment or two regarding the theme of this thread...it is utter nonsense!
For the last eight years, the American people have been subjected to the neo-fascist pseudo-dictatorship of Bush, and even before Obama takes the office of President, this asinine congressman decides that he doesn't like Obama's plans because they are anathema to Bush's destruction of America. The woodwork in Congress house must be rife with crawling maggots of this congressman's ilk! I wonder...what comments he made when speaking out against Bush? Probably none, but that Broun gave a good impersonation of a seal wanting fish and applauded and lauded Bush for his policies? What a two-faced hypocritical bastard this guy must be! Iago could have no better accomplice than this snake.
Ah! yet the OP declares a shoulder-to-shoulder stance with Broun, for he takes the congressman's remarks and runs with them, and replys to himself 4 times no less. For them both, fear-mongering is a spade by which they dug a grave for a free America, but it is they and their creed that reside in the grave of their intended victim, and it is their's and Bush's ghosts whom Obama will exorcise and excoriate from the people's conscience. The sooner it begins the better!

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.

"No Draft" Is No Answer
We are for a workers' militia, an army totally independent of and opposed to the capitalist state. Our policy towards the bourgeois military is to seek to split it, to turn its base against the top, to turn imperialist wars into civil class wars, and out of that conflict forge the workers' red army. We learned that from Lenin and Trotsky...............A mercenary, "voluntary," army provides long-term military training to those who choose to be professional soldiers. They are trained as an elite corps of thugs, in many respects effectively a police department that can be used against masses abroad as well as at home. On the other hand, a drafted army is more susceptible to the moods and attitudes of the masses and is more accessible to revolutionary propaganda and agitation. Over time, the class distinctions between the "grunts" and the officer corps in conscripted armies become sharper, and the discontent of the working class ranks accelerates. Further, a drafted army allows all workers to receive essential military training, which is absolutely crucial for the success of socialist revolution.

As for why they should be just as well funded and just as well supported? The answer to that seems so obvious to me. I would ask you, why don't you think they should be? I think we just support different things in this regards...
