Republican Congressman Warns of Obama Dictatorship

WASHINGTON -- A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist 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."

Broun cited 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."

Obama's comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado about building a new civil service corps. Among other things, he called for expanding the nation's foreign service and doubling the size of the Peace Corps "to renew our diplomacy."

"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."

Broun said he also believes Obama likely will move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national police force.

Obama has said he respects the Second Amendment right to bear arms and 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. As an Illinois state lawmaker, Obama supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on firearms generally.

"We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun said. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential."

Obama's transition office did not respond immediately to Broun's remarks.

At least there are other people worried too

As long as we have a Democracy with checks and balances in the system--this won't happen. Everyone's jumping to that conclusion based off the connotations of "socialism" and "marxism".

Why not actually read up on what those two theories of government/economics those are instead of thinking this is Nazi Germany or the USSR???

I hope this is not ever going to happen. But people are stupid if they think that it is not possible in America, Hitler only got about 54% of the vote when he was elected into a democractic government. Im not saying that Obama is Hitler im just stating that this country could fall easily with the right leader and enough people to support him.

BooHoo left out the good part... Bush backed the CCC idea ...and the milita ...might have stuff to take care of in the end.

"Obama's idea endorsed by Bush
The Obama transition team declined to comment on Broun's remarks. But spokesman Tommy Vietor said Obama 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.

Broun said he believes Obama would move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national security force."http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27655039

But don't forget the source of the comments.
