THERE WILL BE NO ONE LEFT TO PROTECT YOU

THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION & BARACK OBAMA'S POST-INAUGURAL PLANS: OBAMA'S PROPOSED CIVILIAN
NATIONAL SECURITY FORCE -- A MASSIVE, POLITICIZED MILITIA COMPRISED OF OBAMA'S HENCHMEN -- A PERSONAL
ARMY OF DOMESTIC FOLLOWERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT "THE LEADER" & ENFORCE HIS WILL ON THE AMERICAN NATION --
A WELL-KNOWN INSTRUMENT FOR DESTROYING CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY & IMPOSING DICTATORSHIP ON A NATION -- A
CLASSIC TWENTIETH-CENTURY EXAMPLE: ADOLF HITLER'S SCHUTZSTAFFEL (SS)
FULL STORY:
Barack Obama wants to institute a Civilian National Security Force, a vast militia not unlike Iran’s Revolutionary Guard
Corps (IRGC), a personal army. He knows he would need such a force to protect him and to enforce his will on Americans.
Americans will not have seen such arbitrary power used against them since the days of the Civil War, when Abraham
Lincoln put the U.S. Constitution in the bottom drawer of his desk and set about arresting anyone who opposed his
policies to enforce the Union on Southern states seeking secession. The moral issue was slavery. The constitutional issue
was states rights.
If you want to see another civil war, just wait for this new security force to come into being. Obama would need it because
the concept of posse comitatus forbids the use of the U.S. military to enforce laws within the nation. An army of domestic
followers of “the One” would fill that need, assuming that all other law enforcement agencies failed to resist such a
horrendous plan.
There is absolutely NO need for a homeland security force. We have the Federal Bureau of Investigation that has a long
and distinguished history of obedience to the U.S. Constitution and respect for the rule of law. We have a huge law
enforcement community that is likewise pledged to the rule of law. We have a Central Intelligence Agency and a National
Security Agency, both defending against foreign enemies. Nothing Obama proposes is more dangerous to the comity of
the nation than a Civilian National Security Force.
A friend recently suggested that the Ku Klux Klan is probably hoping Obama will win the presidential election because
they anticipate their numbers will gain in response. That would be unfortunate, but not surprising. These days the KKK is,
if you visit their website, all about “white, Christian Americans.” They still hate Blacks and Jews, and one supposes
everyone who is not a white Christian by their definition.
What this ignores is that America was founded by Christians for the free practice of Protestantism. Even the Declaration
of Independence makes reference to the “laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. . . .” While the Bill of Rights forbids the
“establishment” of a state religion, it does not forbid the practice of religion, any religion. America has been mostly free of
overt religious bigotry, despite attacks on the early Mormons, a rampant distrust of Catholics, and evidence of
anti-Semitism that virtually disappeared after the Holocaust in the last century.
So, the question is not who the KKK is voting for, but what the unwitting and ignorant followers of Obama are voting for?
And do they know what awaits them in an Obama administration backed up by a Congress in the total control of the
Democratic Party? I doubt that most do.
Reverend Martin Niemoeller, a German Lutheran pastor who was arrested by the Gestapo in 1938 wrote:
“In Germany, the Nazis first came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up
because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade
unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a
trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and
I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then
they came for me, and, by that time, there was no one
left to speak for me.”
The liberties for which thousands of Americans have fought and died hang in the balance.
All the conditions are in place for a huge Liberal Leftist Democratic Party blowout in this election. That much power
concentrated in a single political party is not a good thing. It is, in so many ways, neither constitutional nor American.
