“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that 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.” -Barack Obama last week talking about his new mandatory volunteer programs. Chicago Tribune Online. This quote is not a misprint this is not a joke this is a direct quote.

This scares me just a bit… The President of the United States of America is going to create a civilian security force that is more powerful than the US military with equal funding as the most powerful military in the world. Is the military failing us that bad that we need to replace them? Are they not stepping up to the task? What will be the purpose of the group? Will it be security with in the borders of the USA or what? Isn’t that what the state and local police departments provide us with? And why can’t or won’t the military do the tasks needed? Or is it something that the military won’t do? Is it un-American? And how will Obama fund this group as well as the military? Can you be a Democrat and fund military operations? Isn’t that a conflict of character? Doesn’t this go against the Democrats code? Since when does a Democrat fund a military instead of whores and crack heads on welfare or whatever the social reengineering and wealth redistribution plan of the month? I ain’t a genius but I smell more taxes for the middle class.

If this doesn’t worry you what about history and the famous quote of those who forget history tend to repeat the mistakes of the past.

So lets flashback about 80 years… I remember a European country that was gaining politically had a group called Sturmabteilung or SA. It was a government-sponsored group who began enforcing things internally inside the country. It was lead by up and coming great leaders with names like… Hermann Göring and Adolf Hitler. Oh yes The SA were the Para-military organization of the Nazi party and. the precursor for the Nazi Gestapo. Or maybe it’s more like the KGB during the USSR days? Or maybe the Khmer Rouge from Cambodia? All these groups wanted to help “better their country” through service…suppression and reeducation of the educated middle class.

Will we get to have a national security force that infringes upon the nation’s founding documents, the Constitution and Bill of Rights? Does this take the Patriot Act to the next level? Will we get to relieve the paranoia of the McCarthy Era? We will have teams knocking on doors of those with larger than allowed carbon footprints? Or maybe because I own ATV’s? Or I have too many children? Will I as a gun owner be singled out and my family loaded on a train bound for a reeducation camp because I believe in the 2^nd Amendment and not in the fact that man is only a small part of the equation of Climate Change? Will I be singled out because I believe in God? Think Abortion is Murder, or that less government is better? Think about it.

Even if John McCain is as bad as George Bush I would take four more years of it. Food For Thought… Since the Democrats have taken over Congress their approval rating has dropped to 9%. Even President Bush’s approval rating is almost 3 times higher than that at 25%. Do we think America will get better with another Democrat in office. And even Jesse Jackson doesn’t like Obama.

And don’t get me started on the volunteer program Barack Obama suggested as a national program… WTF in order to graduate from College and to receive a $4000 tax credit you must volunteer 100 hours a year passing out condoms or needles to the dregs of society in an effort to press social reform agendas. Why does the middle class need to help those who have failed to help themselves? Hell No!!! I ain’t buying it. Volunteering is just that volunteering. We are a free people who are free to follow our own dreams. Why should the work of hard working Americans be taken away and given to those who don’t work hard?

Recently I was forwarded a YouTube video of Barack Obama saying he had been to 57 states with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii. WTF 57 states? Is this his other America?



I was confused so I researched the subject….Google. I typed in “how many states are in the United States of America”?. I received the following:



Yep still only 50 states… So what is he talking about? This man is supposed in touch with me? I went to his website. Obama has a section entitled people. Not one spot says anything about Scandinavian Americans/Northern European Americans? He didn’t even use the W word to describe my ethnic heritage but yet he wants my vote…



Here are some things I found that I disagree with:

Strict Gun Control.
How about my belief in strict criminal control?

Healthcare for all
“Lower cost by Modernizing the US health care system”
Earth to Barack we have one of the most modern/technologically advanced medical system in the world. Socialized medicine doesn’t bring revolutionary treatment but long waits for simple procedures as well as no incentives for doctors to advance.

I don’t believe we should negotiate with Iran. He does.

I don’t believe that education should be offered to all with out strings attached. Things should be earned to be appreciated. Education should be earned by and not necessarily given to the poor. Not to say that it should be tough but there should be a process to earn it. I don’t believe that failure to maximize one’s opportunities necessitates government to give more money to the poor. Democrats seem to think that only non-whites should benefit from government sponsored education. I disagree but think it should be offered to all but that there should be some barriers so that it earned and appreciated.

Economy is the only place I found some agreement on his goals not necessarily his method for attaining these goals. Things like providing the middle class with tax relief, protecting homeownership and cracking down on mortgage fraud and predatory credit companies. Unfortunately I don’t believe that either party believes in lowering taxes or smaller less intrusive government.
