I think that many people who are ok with this civilian security force are not realizing that he wants this force to be as large and as powerful as the military. That's over 1.3 million people. Where exactly does everyone think he is planning on getting the funds to train an additional 1.3 million people to be like the military? Sure isn't going to come from the national surplus. (Hint: we have a deficit not a surplus) And many people who are or would be supportive of this civilian security force are the same who think the military should be cut in half, done away with, or think that their budget should be cut since they apparently don't need body armor or armor for their tanks. What really gets me is this idea isn't that different from Blackwater yet some are supportive of it since it came from Obama.
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.

Well, if this does infact happen... try convincing the uneducated balck person on the street about what Obama has done to the country.
I'll make an estimate... Ask any 100 black Americans on the street if they know anything about Facsism.
Think About it... Obama even wants a 'civilian military force'. Who do you think these people will be? Obviously anyone who needs a job.
Blacks will line up to get a 'police' job... and they will love it. They will do anything to support Obama. Even if it means destroying the country... They will always remember the fact that slavery took place. So they will feel impowered by Obama and feel as if they have finally changed the Country.
Get ready for something... that's all I know... I don't believe what I just wrote, but I can see the fact that most black people will pledge their allegience to Obama no matter what he decides. (Jst because he's black)

Perhaps this "civilian national security force" is what is referred to in our Constitution's 2nd Amendment?
