Obama's plan should set off alarm bells

  • Follow Letters

I believe what Rep. Paul Broun was referring to was remarks Mr. Obama made in a speech that can be found on the Web: "We cannot continue to rely 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."

Shouldn't the editors have investigated the initial remark to see exactly what Rep. Broun was referring to and what Mr. Obama`s intent was?

My question would be why do we need a national security force that is as powerful and as well-funded as the military? Don`t know about you, but if true, that should set off all sorts of alarm bells.

Exactly Mr. Warner, Why do we need two armies? Would the "New" one be controlled by the President, without the control of Congress at the purse strings? Would this "New" Army replace the National Guard which is controlled by the state Governors and the President? What would be the objective of forming a "New" Security Force, to wrangle control into the hands of the President and to fund it without the oversight of Congress? Would the creator of this "New" Security Force's real aim be to Re-instate the "Draft"? These are troubling questions and not a racist plot in sight. Have fun with these, as i'm sure you will, Obamanation.

Mr. Warner, you used hate speech. You actually repeated Obama's own words. Hate Speech, Hate Speech. And, your LTE is reasonable and well presented. Pure, hate speech.

Guys, please. I did not vote for Obma, but some of you are going too far. Common sense & plain truth are weapons that should never be used in politics. The reason Obama should be allowed to have this new army is simple and well intended. We are currently involved in two wars and our troops are stretched thin fighting to ensure our safety & freedom. Who would have time to check our papers??? Who would ensure the crowds showed up at political rallys? Who would stand guard at voting locations? Who would enforce the Fairness Doctrine for talk radio? Who would be in the studio with Rush & Sean & Neal & Herman to ensure free speech was directed in the correct manner? I make fun. I use humor sometimes to make a point. But I truly feel this president elect is not good for America and especially not good for our economy or our freedoms.

Regardless of how you feel; Brouns stupid commits are going to cost the citizens of his district big time when it comes time for handing out the money. You guys may want to consider someone else for that seat in the next election. Such an idiot and a doctor too???

The reason the Republicans lost the last election is displayed handily in this flap over a new national security force, i.e. the Republicans can't distinguish fact from fiction and don't bother to educate themselves. In his speech, Obama was talking about a national service organization, NOT a national police force. Broun has proved himself to be a fool because he just repeats misleading and hysterical talking points from the right-wing blogosphere; he has no opinions or ideas of his own.

Yall retarded folks needs to respect who our president is. Go Obama!!! He will lead this nation into the best economy anyone else could have done. If you don't like- go to another country- Dummies

bsander, if you change what Obama said, you may be able to change what Obama meant. However, if you quote Obama, you're sure what Obama meant.

Why would any national security force need to be as well funded as our military? Think about it people. Obama's comment made no sense, whatever his intent.
