Past Warnings of the New Gestapo

How come I don’t remember reading about this before the election?

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.”

Obama’s comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado about building a new civil service corps. Among other things, he called for expanding the nation’s foreign service and doubling the size of the Peace Corps “to renew our diplomacy.”

I am NOT saying that Obama is creating a security force to create a Marxist state. What I am saying is that in those words there is definitely potential to create a facist police state. Maybe like the kinds that some presidents and congressmen could only fantasize about.

How come the MSM didn’t report more on this when the speech was given in July?

I am all for his ideas about getting more people to volunteer service to their country, but not in the form of ‘national security’. Charities and giving some of your time – because you want to, not because you are forced to – is a wonderful thing. Everyone should give some time and money to a cause they like. However, I don’t think creating a civilian security force on-par with our military is a good thing, in fact, I would say its detrimental to liberty and the fabric of the American society.

I don’t want to be a fear monger here, I just want to get information out to people. This is by no means a definite thing, however, I think it’s something to watch for and keep track of.

Let’s just hope Congressman Broun is just worried about the GOP’s losses this election-cycle, not that he has an eye on what the future holds.
