...Within the administration’s National Security Strategy – released at the end of May – one of the components is a civilian expeditionary force which the White House says is “fundamental” to national security.

“Our diplomatic personnel and missions must be expanded at home and abroad to support the increasingly transnational nature of 21st century security challenges,” the NSS writes, “And we must provide the appropriate authorities and mechanisms to implement and coordinate assistance programs and grow the civilian expeditionary capacity required to assist governments on a diverse array of issues.”

I recall seeing a clip of one of Obamas speeches where he specifically talks about a National civillian force as big and as well funded as the military. I saw all the people behind him just clapping and I thought to myself they are not listening to what this man is saying I heard it loud and clear and was disgusted and frightened at the same time

Obama: “I will ask for your service and your active citizenship when I am president of the United States ... this will be a central cause of my presidency."

Obama: "People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve.... I will set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year...."

And they STILL voted for him..sigh.

July 2 2008 in Colorado Springs –

"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."

Lol. I've served with guys who were in the CEF. Not exactly a secret. It's not like FReepers don't know people who are civilian DoD.

Strong civilian national security while suing Arizona for practicing civilian national security?

Doesn’t add up, does it?

It's not about "Health Care".

And no one from Obama land denied death panels in exact words. It is on.

We’ve already got the three foreign-fighting branches, the Border Patrol and the Peace Corps. Wow! “Border Patrol” — are they supposed to patrol borders?

“Waffen SS...Obama style.”

Yes, he’s preparing the fearsome Fat Welfare Momma Division to invade Texas.

Yes it does make sense. He is doing everything he has said or his mentors taught him. It is right in the mold he came from. It has all been there to see from the beginning. If they had only remembered who they were really voting for. As it turned out they have doomed us for several decades...maybe longer.

And it was all in writing, just like Hitler and the communists of Russia before Hitler. All in writing and most of the electorate ignored it all!! They just could not believe it was really what any politician would do.

I never mentioned this to anyone, but on the day he was elected, I felt like a Jew must have felt when Hitler was elected. Fitting since whites are the new Jews.

“The Health Crap Bill is about ... killing Obama’s enemies,”

How so? I think you’re letting fear get the best of you.

:( well we should buck up and hopefully things can be truned around. I know each night when I go to bed I say a prayer that the evil does in the whitehouse will be exposed and then I pray for America, Funny how most of my life I just flew along by the seat of my pants not really paying much attention to politics unitl the end of Clintons 2nd term and then there was the Bush Gore election and I saw what dirty plitics were with the recount and the scandalous butterfly ballots. I saw how the liberals beat down Bush everyday and sure he did some things I didnt like but at least I did not think of him as evil which is how I truly feel about our current President. One good thing that has come about since the election of Obama is I think people realize how much they love America and that it really is the greatest country on earth

anybody remember the near rebellion in the State Department (during the Bush Admin) because Iraq and Afghanistan were too dangerous. They didn’t have enough volunteers so they were assigning people to those to countrys...

Where does The Dear Leader think he is going to find all these additional civilians willing to go to war zones?

I wonder how many countries he plans to invade and rebuild. If we take him at his word (for the sake of argument) why else would he create a new permanent bureaucracy for the purpose of nation building?
