The socialist attacks on Barack Obama continues even after John McCain was trounced in Electoral College votes last week. Republican representative Paul Broun sayd that he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.
“It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he’s the one who proposed this national security force,” Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. “I’m just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism.”
What an idiot. Look at what President Bush has done. That’s more of a Gestapo-style administration to me–wiretaps, secrecy in disclosing who the federal government loaned nearly $2 trillion to, invading Iraq on a lie, and I could go on and on.
Broun referenced a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.
“That’s exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it’s exactly what the Soviet Union did,” Broun said. “When he’s proposing to have a national security force that’s answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he’s showing me signs of being Marxist.”
According to media reports, Obama’s comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado in which he called for expanding the nation’s foreign service.
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” Obama said in July. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said he was referring in the speech to a proposal for a civilian reserve corps that could handle postwar reconstruction efforts such as rebuilding infrastructure — an idea endorsed by the Bush administration.
Of course, with gun sales up in a number of states, Broun piggybacked off that too.
Obama has said he respects the Second Amendment right to bear arms and he favors common sense gun laws. Gun rights advocates interpret that as meaning he’ll at least enact curbs on ownership of assault weapons and concealed weapons.
So, here we are again, back on the socialist issue. It seems to me that President Bush and his posse has led us down a dangerous path and we are experiencing eight years of Gestapo-style rule under Bush.
