I don't watch talk shows. Doesn't matter which side they're on. I form my own opinions, not the opinion of a television 'personality'. If a bill is being discussed, I read the bill. If there is a link to a bill in front of the House or Senate regarding the formation of a 'Civilian Army', I'll read it.

Link? Don't have one? Doesn't exist? Your poll is, hmmmm, how can I put it........, how's this>>>>>IT"S STUPID!!
And still in total denial, aincha?

He actually said he did not care about the Nazi brown shirt or gestapo claims. He said he could not agree with them being funded better than our standing military force.

When I think "Army" I think of people who are trained to kill enemies and break things. When Obama says security force, I do not think he is referring to an armed force except for law enforcement. I have completed training offered by FEMA called NIMS. I have also registered with the Dept of Homeland Security as a possible federal resource. I think this is what he is referring to. So I will vote hell yes.

YouTube - Obama Civilian Security
Thank you everyone who has posted this video. Many of these Obama-lovers deny the video is real.

"Obama was not talking about a "security force" with guns or police powers. He was talking specifically about expanding AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps and the USA Freedom Corps, which is the volunteer initiative launched by the Bush administration after the attacks of 9/11, and about increasing the number of trained Foreign Service officers who populate U.S. embassies overseas."

About a 'Civilian Army on the Streets of America'? There is no such bull in the House or Senate. Beck is using this to get his ratings up in light after his show has lost almost 40 advertisers. You go ahead and goose step to his nonsense. I'm just going to sit back and marvel at the lack of self thinkers among the minions on the right.

Amazing!
