The time will come when Conservatives and Republicans will be doing what Christians are doing in muslim countries right now - meeting in secret because the state would throw them in prison (or worse) if they were ever caught.

Ten years ago, I would have scoffed at the thought of something like that happening here in America. Not now.

Oh my freaking God! Why is it that no one else saw this?!?!? This is truly disturbing. Time to load up on the ammo huh?

It was there. It was mentioned. But, the message was lost amongst the 2700 pages of the final Bill plus the months of revisions and reconciliations between the House and the Senate versions and the Tea Parties and the Town Halls, etc., etc. The lying scum who occupy the Deem-o-craps side of the our legislative chambers have a lot to answer for. I hope the sheeple remember in November and are not confused by all the noise about "both sides are responsible for this". Both sides are NOT responsible for this Obomination!

Why do you think the Deem-o-craps are throwing so much at us all at once? Just to slip stuff like this through when we have our eyes on something else.

The “Ready Reserves” mentioned in the Health Care bill are not military. They’re doctors. They’re part of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. The Surgeon General is in charge of it.

Mind you, I find a “Public Health Service Commissioned Corps” pretty darn scary.

I’ve know about his desire to have a personal army. What I’ve not heard is that it was in the healthcare bill. This is the first time I’ve heard that it’s in there.

"so why didn’t the Senate Republicans call them out on this during reconciliation?"

We are past the time for recriminations and blame. It is now time to fight against this crap being implemented.

Barack Obama called for a police state.

No, he didn't.

Read the context of the speech. He sure had a poor choice of words, but it was not a call for a police state, nor a private army. He called for the Leftists' dream of an organization with the funding & political power - on par with the US military - to race into an area and provide comprehensive high-intensity repairs, medical attention, food distribution, etc. in response to humanitarian disasters. The whole speech he was giving was about public/community/humanitarian service, and the quote in question was an impromptu addition of the kind demonstrating why he should never go off TelePrompTer.

This whole "OMGPoliceStateImminent" hysteria is spin, looking for any comment which could, with effort, be construed as proof of "OMGObamaIsTheAntiChristWTFHitlerBBQ". Cut it out, people, this is the kind of hysteria which DOES make the Right look like "wingnuts". There are plenty of actual problems to worry about without inventing more fanciful distractions.

That said, and before you get out the flamethrowers (oops, too late), this kind of "humanitarian organization" under the creation & direction of "dear leader" DOES risk being bent into something sinister. There's a difference between that and "it's his private army". They're not armed. They're not even drilling with brooms.

Are there any constituional challenges to this? Also, why hasn’t this been headlines at least in conservative papers?

Because it’s a hysterical fantasy by those suffering Obama Derangement Syndrome. They’re trying to spin every word of the bill/law into proof of the Ninth Reich.

We all thought Joe Biden was nuts - IMHO he had heard something and it was clearly rolling around in his head when he made this weird statement.

Couple that with Rahm’s *not wasting a crisis*.

Add to that the MSM’s promotion/agitation of *violent threats*.

The law cannot be repealed later. This is also written into it somewhere in the middle third of the bill. (around page 1100)

The entire bill is written like a web that protects all the core provisions within itself. It will be about as easy as repealing Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.

He'll go after the Jews first ~ there are still too many Christians.

He'll try to get the Christians to kill the Jews though.

Is an extension of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps or an entirely new beast?

I once heard a liberal say “the blacks will take care of the jews.” I couldn’t believe he was saying this!

The point is, this stuff is written so broad, I don’t trust it in the hands of someone like Obama.

The problem with assuming that Obama always meant helpful but otherwise innocuous organizations is that we've all learned that he's as Fascist as they come.

It's much better to assume the worst when dealing with this guy and his running dog lackeys.

so why didn’t the Senate Republicans call them out on this during reconciliation?

I hate to attribute ill motives to SOME of the Republican Senators...
but maybe they hope to stick around long enough to fire Obama’s Personal
Army...and hire their own when R’s hold the House, Senate and Oval office?

I hope it’s more like, they let it happen and are planning to use
it in adverts during Election 2010 campaign.
