DISCLAIMER: I'm not being facecious, and I don't mean to offend anyone. This is an honest question.


When I look at Obama's plan, it is very apparent to me that his solution to everything is government and more spending. Healthcare? Let's give everyone the government insurance. Education? Let's just throw more money at public schools even though we already spend more than any other nations and our schools still suck. Who cares that vouchers work better and everyone likes them, let's just not use those anymore (got this from the last debate). Economy? Let's raise taxes, give away free money to people who don't pay any income tax, and then the government will create more jobs.


Can you please tell me what I'm missing? it seems to me that his solution to everything is the government. How is that not saying "let the government solve all my problems?"

Obama's Civilian Security Force


It is time to face the real heart of what Obama has in mind for this country should he be elected. He knows, and his Marxist handlers know, that when his true social and economic plans are revealed that there will be resistance. We have clues as to how he plans to handle this resistance in the way Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin, and various uppity reporters have been attacked. However, there are darker, more alarming hints.




Obama, in a speech on July 2, 2008 said “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives 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.”

His closeness to Ayers, Kalidi, Odinga, Farrakhan, Wright and others should send shivers down the spine of any freedom loving America. Here's Ayers' own words regarding the policing of the neighborhood in which he, Ayers, Obama and Farrakhan live, from Ayers book A Kind and Just Parent, pg. 82: "...Minister Louis Farrakhan lives a block from our home and adds, we think, a unique dimension to the idea of 'safe neighborhood watch': the Fruit of Islam, his security force, has an eye on things twenty-four hours a day." Here Louis Farrakhan explains the "Fruit of Islam"

What is this 'force' to be used for? Who will it be directed against? When will it start? It's starting now...


Fruits of Islam in training?

Wow great post. I completely agree with you in parts of it, and couldn't disagree more in others.

Fortunately, this message board is NOT a microcosm of the entire country.

I'm thinking that if people want to pay $3 for a latte and drive a car that is too expensive, then that is their prerogative.... and if the government would stop trying to save everyone from themselves, maybe people could learn to do it on their own.

And as expected, in a board full of Obama supporters, not one person has responded to my question...

While I support the right of all you "little guys" to spend your money as you wish, you must forgive me if I am less than impressed by BO taking your money.
