If things get dicey I have a task for you. Get a flashlight and go outside your dwelling and shine it around. See if you can spot a reflective disc of some sort.
The disc could be red, blue, or yellow. Might be nothing, might be worth a look though.

(visit the link for the full news article)
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.
"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.

Many people know Hitler as some evil evil little bitter control freak man who wanted to rule the world.
What many do not realize right away was that
a) Hitler was an elected Official.
b) Very VERY Charismatic.
c) At first the people LOVED him and his message of hope, freedom, and prosperity
d) Was an outstanding Public Speaker
e) Also a very inspirational speaker
Hitler sold the public on everything he did. It was all done within a legal frame work at that time. It was not until it was far too late that people saw the evil.

Sorry, you disqualified your own remarks about American Politics by proclaiming you were not an American. Your remarks are thus circular filed.
I am tired of people from other countries saying stupid things about Political Issues that they have no right to complain about.
That Dang Prime Minister, You English Blokes should elect an Irish Fellow, cuz them English Politicians are just bad bad bad!!! NeoYanks I call them.
Now coming from an American, that sounds pretty stupid huh.

We would have a coup d'etat and/or civil war before that ever happened.

This unquestioning devotion and misplaced paranoia of anyone who might want to badmouth Obama will turn into a nightmare under the right conditions.

You know I mentioned this to my father the other day, and he agrees as well. He says that what Obama is creating is pretty much a federalist police force, which, according to him, is supposed to NOT be allowed. The states individually are the ones that handle their police force, NOT the federal govt. He too mentioned that this was pretty much the equivalent of Hitler's SS force.
I am honestly astounded by the complete and utter ignorace I am seeing from Obama supporters both outside this site and inside this site.
"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said.

You know, the first thing that popped into my head when I read the OP was: "Don't we ALREADY have a Civilian Security Force? Called the Police. Or am I wrong in that thought. Don't they do all the things people have been saying this CSF would do? This has to be one of the stupidest ideas out of Obama's mouth so far. The police have it bad enough as it is. Corruption, underfunding, general public mistrust, etc. All this new force would be good for is enforcing any 'unpopular' laws the President passes, and of course, being yet another drain on our economy. I wonder how he plans to bankroll the whole thing, when cuts to the police and firefighters have run rampant right here in Cali for the past several months.
A few examples: Here
