Obama's National Citizen's Security Force is being pieced together, both at the Defense Department and in Congress.
Originally called Obama 2.0, "Organizing for America" is headed by Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe.
In early January, we highlighted the beginnings of the organization of "boots on the ground" designed to pressure Americans and lawmakers into accepting Obama's socialist agenda.
Earlier this week, H.R. 1388 just made the nightmare of Obama's "National Citizen's Security Force " a reality.
Yesterday, the Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Thursday to broadly expand national community service programs, increasing the number of positions to 250,000 from 75,000 and creating new cadres of volunteers focused on education, clean energy, health care and veterans.
Sen. Jim DeMint discusses the many flaws of the National Service Act being considered on the Senate floor, calling it "a well-intentioned mistake".
It is understandable why Congress would want to get involved. We see that passion to serve, that desire to do something that is greater than yourselves. We look at that working in our civil society and we want to get involved and expand it.
Unfortunately, our history shows us when Government gets involved, it tends to take something that is working and make it not work nearly as well. Civil society works because it is everything Government is not. It is small, it is personal, it is responsive, it is accountable. Civil society must be protected from any effort to make it more like Government.
That is what we are doing with this bill today. This bill centralizes control of important functions of our civil society. There is a downside to good intentions here in Government. The Founders created a limited government and our oath to support and defend the Constitution means that is our focus here. Our oath is to a limited government. The Founders wanted the people to be free from our good intentions. Government charity is anathema to what our Founders intended and what our Constitution stands for. Despite our good intentions, where we try to implement those good intentions and our compassion through the force of Government, we are effectively violating our oath of office here.

I’ll tell you the magic moment of failure with the national service ‘crew’. When Jimmy Joe shows up, and decides the liberal left dude who runs the program is a nut...then he’ll tell the dude off...but Jimmy Joe won’t leave. The liberal left dude will then try to kick the kid out and there’ll be legal trouble. At some point, the other kids within this group will realize the conservative kid is right, and the liberal adult is wrong. Respect disappears in a matter of hours. You’ll have an entire program that is under threat of shut-down because the liberal leader can’t maintain his order.
Kind of a rhetorical question but, just saying.....
Obama’s “Civilian National Secirity Force” A Staple of Rogue Regimes

We go through this every year in my western civ classes, and put it side-by-side with the “Communist Manifesto” and it’s 10 points. If you take out the “Jew-specific” planks, the two documents align perfectly, showing the commonly-presented view that “fascism is on the right and communism on the left” is nonsense. THEY ARE BOTH LEFTIST.

Ping.
Are you aware that there is an ACORN-type group called DART (Direct Action Training or something) that trains MINISTERS?
Thanks for the ping!
Direct Action against Retarded TOTUS's?
You mean Michele Bachmann? One L and two M’s. :-)
You are pinged to this thread.
Yes, thanks....don’t know what I was thinking :)
Let’s all volunteer to be a part of Obama’s Snitch Nation.
Do we all get brown shirts and armbands?
Ping to #7 & #8. For connect the dots.
A couple of months back, a freeper posted this short video which helps explain Fascism & Communism both being on the far left. The far right is no government. We are in the middle wanting to abide by the law and constitution.
When you have a moment, watch this. It’s not long, but worth it.
