Back in 2008, Presidential Candidate Barack Obama proposed the idea of a civilian national security force that would be “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military. (see video snippet here)
I wondered recently what had happened to this campaign promise, whether it had been just another political pandering point on the election trail or if it might have actually become a background effort by the Obama administration. A bit of web browsing gave me many links to a couple of programs that have been hidden in legislation or proposed without enough critical opposition.
1) The concept of a “Ready Reserve Corp” is built into the 2010 Obamacare bill, and specifies thousands of specialists available to provide support in the event of disaster, terrorist attack, emergency, or any situation deemed “appropriate” by the government.
2) The Serve America Act and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act promotes massive expansions to programs that will insure many “community organizing” automatons are promoting the kind of activism preferred by Progressives.
-
The Serve America Act will increase the size of AmeriCorps from 75,000 volunteers to 250,000 by 2017.
-
The Act also creates a Social Innovation Fund that will invest in ideas that are proven to improve outcomes and “what works” funds in federal agencies to promote effective and innovative programs.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act included $201 million in funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service to support an expansion of AmeriCorps State and National and AmeriCorps VISTA programs.
Spending a few moments as an AMATEUR investigative journalist, AKA blogger, I then tossed all objectivity aside and could not but help to entertain humorous thoughts regarding the preference we should give to these “soldiers” as our civilian “protectors” and also about what kind of distinguishing uniforms they might incorporate. I mean, seriously, if thousands of newly authorized law enforcement officials are roaming our streets shouldn’t we know whom to approach when our kitten is stuck in a tree or when a public school teacher has touched us inappropriately?
Below are just a few pictures with captions describing how these groups could help make our America a much safer…oh, and fairer, place. Realize that all these groups are already trained in the use of weapons and intimidation tactics so they will be much less expensive to prepare and certainly willing to enforce the Liberal agenda with exuberance. The branch uniforms are obviously suggested by the photos.
- Black Panthers will staff our polling places to insure the best election outcome. If you as a voter feel intimidated, then you are obviously not voting for the right, er…uh…, Left candidates.
- Though possibly at odds with the Black Panthers, MS13 would be a serious tool to focus the Latino community. For anyone that doesn’t toe the line, shootings and beheadings are just an additional “gentle’ reminder of what is expected as a compliant citizen.
- Need I say more? Yes, I must. How can we possibly have an effective “civilian defense force” without a branch to interact with the Muslim community and to enlighten “Islamophobes” of their errant ways. These guys could make sure Sharia law is implemented and enforced as communities are made compliant and complacent.
- Here is the feminine branch of our national security defense force. CodePink will replace the now defunct WACS (Women’s Army Corps) from World War II with WACKOS (no acronym required).
- To be inclusive of all hate groups, a special branch comprised of Skinheads and White Supremacists will prove that the Obama administration is tolerant of all views, though this group will have no enforcement powers as “only white people can be racist’.
- Lastly, perhaps giving up assless chaps in a parade for the betterment of society will make “homophobes” see the light. Who knows, the gay agenda may be more easily swallowed.
Done!
