The World Net Daily has a story about a remark made by presumed Democrat presidential nominee in Colorado Springs last week that has garnered little attention in the MSM, in part because the statement apparently was not included in the transcript of prepared remarks distributed to the media.
'We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.'
Democrat Sen. Barrack Obama's stunning assertion in a recent speech that the U.S. needs a ‘civilian national security force’ that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force is not included in published transcripts of his prepared remarks.
In the July 2 speech in Colorado Springs, Obama insisted the U.S. 'cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set.'
What exactly does Obama mean by a “civilian national security force?” What about the FBI, Homeland Security, ATF? What about the Posse Comitatus Act? Will Obama suspend that protection for citizens in order to implement this new giant quasi-military/police force with a budget equal to that of the armed forces combined, and similarly armed?
The Founders held great contempt and fear of standing armies that were used to enforce civil order. The opposition to the Crown that lead to the Revolution grew largely from the animosity that the colonies held for the British troops sent here by King George to enforce laws and tariffs that the colonists considered unfair and arbitrary. Sen. Obama apparently does not understand our history and traditions and proposes to afflict the country with an immense and unmanagable national police force that even King George could not have imagined.
George Soros & Co. went ballistic over the Patriot Act and the FISA court rulings; I wonder what they will think of this proposal. If Bush flouted the Constitution as many leftist have claimed, this proposal makes it seem Obama intends to thoroughly subvert it so that we’ll soon be living under the watchful and benevolent eye of “Big Brother” and the U.S. Constitution would be a thing of the past.
