Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iRxZox4GFoIweckPDP1oRhKBlHOwD94CCDU00)


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 with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."

Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.

"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."

[...]

"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."

[Cowlesy]

Wow he laid the gauntlet down with those comments.

[SnappleLlama]

Also from the article:

"'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.'

Broun said he also believes Obama likely will move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national police force."

That scares me. I just hope that Obama chose his words "unwisely" when he gave that speech.

Just heard it on my local news station (I live in Atlanta). They said that the Obama team said that it was a suggestion for some kind of reconstruction type effort, one that the Bush administration suggested as well. I didn't really understand it because I wasn't paying attention, but yeah.

[ihsv]

Imagine how much faster things would accelerate if there were an "incident". I get motion sickness just thinking about it.

[georgiapeach]

At least someone besides RP is paying attention and willing to call a spade a spade.

Bad analogy for Obama.
Spade that is...

[georgiaboy]

thank you for the headsup, Rep Broun. And thank you for voting against the bailout.

As much as I wish it didn't have to come to this, an Obama administration may just be the ice-water-in-the-face wakeup call free Americans needed to come to their senses.

[ItsTime]

Thank you Wolf for backing Obama.... Isn't this what we all have been saying? Obama, with laws put in place by Bush, has the perfect opportunity to create a dictatorship in some form.

[ihsv]

The disgusting part about it is that with all the euphoria over Obama, people will WILLINGLY accept a dictatorship, especially if there were another 9/11 type event.

Obama derangement syndrome is here. Look, this guy isn't Hitler

Dumber. A constitutional scholar that can't understand a word of it. When did Adolf become Hitler? Obama's handlers are determined to control all of Asia. Not seeing much difference. Russia didn't have thousands of nukes pointed at Hitler when he started his madness. It's even more ignorant today to have such plans.

[StilesBC]

I agree, there are a lot of parallels. There are also a lot of differences. Germans of the early 30's would have tried to draw parallels between Lenin or Napoleon and Hitler. Not seeing many similarities, they would have concluded that Hitler couldn't be that bad.

There is potential. How Obama reacts to a crisis will be the major test. Gen-Xers are typically reactionary and I fear he would overreact in a crisis. That is where the true danger lies.

[Zera]

Jeez, are some of you comparing him to Hitler or Marx? I understand you have absolutely no trust in him, hell, it seems that you have less in him than our current president, but come on.

Is he going to kill millions of his own citizens? probably not.
Is he going to run over everyone of your rights and treat you like a servant to the federal government. yes.
To some, death is preferable to slavery.

[Zera]

But he hasn't done anything yet. How can we be so sure he's going to exactly enslave us?

[cindy25]

with the possible exception of Jerry Ford every president since Hoover has increased presidencial power, some more than others

Obama, because of his oratory skills, and his choice of Emanuel, must be watched very closely

[ArrestPoliticians]

Republicans do a much better job at being the phony opposition than democrats.

[torchbearer]

But he hasn't done anything yet. How can we be so sure he's going to exactly enslave us?

He plans to continue Bush policies.

[QueenB4Liberty]

He plans to continue Bush policies.

He hasn't said that.

[torchbearer]

He hasn't said that.

I just saw a thread on here earlier today pointing to an article showing Obama doesn't plan to change Bush's domestic spying policy.

[Zera]

Then what do you mean by enslave us? Aren't we currently slaves under Bush's regime?

[torchbearer]

Then what do you mean by enslave us? Aren't we currently slaves under Bush's regime?

Yes. That is what I'm talking about. We've been enslaved... and Uncle Tom isn't going to free us.
He doing his white masters bidding for a nice cushy life.
Sold us down the river. sorry.

[torchbearer]

If Obama was out there preaching Ron Paul's message, and was going to free us from this BS.. I'd be an Obama supporter in a second.
If the day he took office, he gave a speech telling his white masters to fuck off, its time to reinstate the consitution and fuck off to the special interest, I would sing his praise.

But that isn't the reality you will see... uncle tom is going to sell us slavery... as "change".
count on it.

[Zera]

Ah. Well, I don't see why people are suddenly saying these things. I'm pretty sure we all knew he was going to be the president even when it was between him and Hillary and McCain was pretty good to go. I somehow think that deep inside, he knows what he's doing isn't truly right, but... I dunno.

I think everyone is at least a little Libertarian inside.

[Agent CSL]

Just saw on CNN that he is kneeling down to lick the boots of the establishment. He apologized.

What concerns me about Obama and the liberal bunch is that they preach diversity except the diversity of thought. If you disagree with them, then they insult you because you don't think like them. The "Fairness Doctrine" is a prime example. Not only is there a liberal bias in the media, but now they want to force conservatives in talk radio to have liberals on their shows as well.

Just look at our universities.

Exactly! I believe Alex Jones also mentioned that Obama will probably be the president who shuts him down. Why? Because Obama can't stand anyone who disagrees with him!

Good point. By the way, I've gotta give ya props for your sig.:D

[Reason]

many people have been hearing this crap about a "national security force" mostly because far right wing idiot talk show hosts have been blabbing about it without realizing/caring about how amazingly out of context the quote is.

What Obama was referring to is our nations civilian foreign affairs groups like the state department and USAID.

"We're going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy,"

"We need to be able to deploy teams that combine agricultural specialists and engineers and linguists and cultural specialists who are prepared to go into some of the most dangerous areas alongside our military,"

This second quote is very important assuming it actually happens, moving more troops to Afghanistan will accomplish absolutely nothing without a STRONG civilian infrastructure counterpart.

What needs to happen in Afghanistan is the successful construction of all the aspects of a secure civilian society.

The people of Afghanistan right now are forced to accept Taliban control in huge areas of the country not only because we failed to finish the Taliban off, but because we COMPLETELY FAILED in our efforts to create a stable economic environment for the people after we destroyed the weak economic environment that the Taliban had installed.

When the Taliban offers you a job working a poppy field for 100$ a day, and the US/Afghan govt offers you a job driving trucks where you get shot at everyday, make 20$ a day, and have to drive with your back doors open to show you aren't working with the Americans to prevent an RPG from slamming into the cab of your truck..... which job do you choose?
