Civilian Watch Groups

Barry, I'm probably just forgetting something, but as bad as the Obama takeovers have been with worse to come, I really wasn't aware of any such groups watching public meetings. Help me out here, this sounds more like something that used to exist in Russia, with people getting together and confessing their sins against the state and then getting re-educated so as to toe the Communist line. Second, as horrible as the new plans for universal healthcare, and bailouts and takeovers, the worst part is Obama's new plans is what he brought up at the G-20 Conference, making us part of world government which will raise our taxes to support the silly global demands to clean up our lands, make everything "green", cure "global warming", etc. This scares me more than the current takeovers. That's just a comment, my real concern in this post is to understand about what you said about groups watching private meetings???

Thanks,

Charlie Seng

It is madness

Charlie, I was just listening to Rush, pretty much sound bite by sound bite on Obamas apology tour(I think that is descriptive) He just doesn't care, the broker he makes the country the better he likes it, it is hard for us to get our brain around that but it is just becoming painfully clear, the more he can make people dependent the more likely he can secure these policies for all time. Personally I don't know what kind of person wants to rule a bankrupt country, but over the years it has been done over and over.

You remember in the campaign Obama was talking about a civilian volunteer force equal to the military. I can't find it at the moment, but it was either in the Porkulus or Underthebus bill that funded these civilian groups, it is small at the moment, but wait. They will be little Obamaites informing the great machine on your subversiveness. These kind of groups have been used in every totalitarian government, and make no mistake that is what this government is, it is all about taking your liberty for the common agony, so we are all poor and needy, a funny kind of equality they see. Of course the founders saw equality in an entirely different way. But who reads history.
