A NEW PRISCILLA'S POST: A NATIONAL POLICE FORCE?

Barack Obama, in a speech given in Colorado Springs on July 2nd, announced what he called, "the central cause" of his Presidency, assuming he is elected of course. This cause should not be a surprise to those of us who pay attention. We know he first gained notice, or so he says, through community organizing in Chicago, a rather vague term which implies bringing people together for a common cause such as volunteerism as prescribed by the organizers.

The central cause of his Presidency would in fact be community organizing on ‘steroids’. Yes, national service for everyone. Come, young and old, something for everyone! He will ‘fix’ our souls through volunteerism whether we like it or not. His most pointed focus is on American youth. The psychology of this is for the participants to believe they are community leaders and contributors, when in reality they are being 'led', with all its implications.

In Obama's speech, he described how beneficial this was for him and his wife. Well, we can see how beneficial it was for him, he’s running for President isn’t he? He did associate with the influential and powerful people in Chicago. So, of course it stands to reason it is near and dear to his heart, this organizing. Well, now he thinks it should be near and dear to ours, also! After all, what was good enough for Barack, should be good enough for us......right?

Here are some examples of his plans for America; He will expand AmeriCorps from 75,000, to 250,000 slots and will make that a service to meet "national goals like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world so that citizens see their efforts connected to a common purpose. People of all ages, stations and skills will be asked to serve". He goes on to say; "This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda and make their own change from the bottom up."

Besides AmeriCorps, here are other goals he states; expand our Foreign Service, the Peace Corps, and USA Freedom Corps. Form the following: Social Investment Fund Network, and an Energy Corps. All middle and high school students are to serve 50 hours a year and federal assistance will be conditional on school districts developing service programs. Mandatory volunteerism! All college students to serve 100 hours a year will receive a $4000.00 annual tax credit. The cost of all this would be billions.

This is the plan of a demagogue. Barack Obama, it should be clear, has no conception of what it is to respect a free people. He describes a nation of people with one devotion and one devotion only. While he tells us this will make us a better society and a complete people, what he is really saying is we are to be a nation of, by, and for the state. What he envisions is change alright. He believes it is we who must change, and he believes the state must make this happen. We are, in his eyes, fodder to conform to his vision of what we should be.

The final excerpt is not found in the prepared text of his remarks which was distributed to the media. However, it was inserted into his speech. Upon referring to our military, he said this;
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that 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." (z: the entire speech, including this tidbit the media conveniently left out, can be heard here at about 16 minutes into it; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df2p6867_pw )

I leave this for last because, while the rest is disturbing at best, this is truly frightening. This is a National Police Force he is suggesting. What, really, does Obama think is needed to "save the planet"? The mind conjures up images of history past. The Gestapo, the KGB, Cuba, where neighbor informs on neighbor. The Hitler Youth?

We are confronted by a man in whom, behind an engaging smile and relaxed demeanor, lies a creature of the far-left. He has been tutored well to be the face that belies the intentions of the left. He has laid out the blueprint he foresees for America and her people. He has not come this far, this fast, alone. It has been decided and the time is now.

More great thinking, Priscilla...thanks so much. Americans need to pay attention to what you say.......let's not throw out the constitution!
