Another unnecessary program that will turn into a giant hole to piss money into, when we already have the National Guard and the Department of Homeland Security. What needs to happen is for the INS to be paired with the FBI, Homeland Security, and the ATF, and for our borders to be secured, and I've been saying this for years, now. The last thing we need is yet another department, yet another program, yet another drain on our disgustingly bankrupt national financial resources. |

I, for one, am glad that there are those who will remind me that I need not pay attention to what a candidate says on the stump, simply because it has not been put on the table and fleshed out. Whew. I was worried there for a while. Thanks! |

HOLY CARP!!!

Uh, no. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

You are ignoring his actual words and trying to dance around them to avoid the direct message. You think he is talking about a domestic Peace Corp??? Tell me why a domestic Peace Corp has to be " just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” as the US military. What does powerful and strong mean to you when compared to the military? He doesn't seem to be talking about "moral strength." How would a domestic peace corp aid national security if it weren't armed and given enforcement powers? Why would a domestic peace corp require the level of funding of the US military???? And besides, we ALREADY have Americorp, which was Clinton's plan for a domestic Peace Corp equivalence -- what else is he suggesting? Answer these questions before starting your ad hominem bullsh!t. |

BTW, Quirt, if you want to acknowledge that this is just another of his lies or flip flops he told to get elected, I'm OK with that, but don't say stupid things like he is talking about security in the sense that Bush was talking about oil. |

If he starts cutting the Defense Budget, he may well have reason to fear the military. |

Watch the video, Quirt -- all the Obamatrons are enthusiastically clapping. He could have said he'll rape their dogs and they would be clapping. I am not a conspiracy theorist, Quirt. I am just trying to figure out what he meant. Your notion that he is talking about security like Bush talked about oil is laughable, and I wonder how you can honestly think that is the case given his actual words. |

You're so funny. *I* am trying to stir up trouble? That's so beautifully ironic. Google Obama and National Civil Defense Force and the only results you get are inflammatory right wing bloggers drawing wild conclusions about an isolated phrase from one speech. Honestly, you people should relax. The election's over. Why bother getting your blood pressure up before you even know how things will play out. My prediction is that Obama will be much more moderate than you expect, and if anything, he will tend to disappoint those on the left for not being liberal enough. (There's another "m" in inflammatory, btw). |

The lefties are as graceless in victory as they were in defeat. Anyone knows it is perfectly acceptable to say anything you want on the campaign trail with no intention whatsoever of delivering. The ends justify the means. |

Why not? People shrieked and bitched that Bush stole the election, when in fact, he did no such thing. People shrieked about how their freedoms were being stripped away by the Patriot Act, when in fact, AFAIK, no one's freedoms have been curtailed or stripped. Bush was blamed and blamed and blamed for so many things that he didn't even do.

They were? At any rate, here is Obama's outline of areas he plans to address in the context of homeland security: * Defeat Terrorism Worldwide * Prevent Nuclear Terrorism * Strengthen American Biosecurity * Protect Our Information Networks * Improve Intelligence Capacity and Protect Civil Liberties * Protect Americans from Terrorist Attacks and National Disasters * Protect Critical Infrastructure * Modernize America's Aging Infrastructure And here's the link to his website for the details. Nothing there about a national civil defense force. I think it's pretty safe to conclude that he was referring to the people that would be necessary to carry out the goals enumerated above. |

Fine. Where's the budgeting coming from? If it's as well-funded as the American military, does that mean he's going to gut the defense until it's being run like a cheap whorehouse, and therefore, there will be enough money to fund his civilian corp? The money's got to come from somewhere, and at the moment, the national economy is in the toilet, and the United States is a debtor nation to China. |

Listen to the video again (or for the first time perhaps). How is a group of unarmed citizens supposed to Defeat Terrorism Worldwide, Prevent Nuclear Terrorism, Strengthen American Biosecurity, Protect Our Information Networks, Improve Intelligence Capacity and Protect Civil Liberties, Protect Americans from Terrorist Attacks, and Protect Critical Infrastructure? Those are all commendable things -- which Bush has been ably doing for the past 8 years -- but that is clearly not what Obie is talking about. |
