Now that is the most unsettling thing I've heard him say to date.

Will their uniforms include brown shirts?

He's only about 233 years late for THAT - it's called, "The Militia." Unless you're active duty military, you're ALREADY a member.

I think THIS is what the OBAMINATION has in mind...

There is already a civilian national security force........

It is called the militia and is provided for in the Constitution and I doubt it will be answering to him.

I've got a slogan...
One people
One country
One leader
I think it might have already been used......it sounds vaguely familiar....

Errr.

Umm

Whoa.. ok. I want a video of the full speech ASAP... friggin blogs make it impossible to find it..

Cause dayum.. Even if you take it at the most positive light, it's a really poor choice of wording. Bush did away with Posse Comitatus so there technically isn't anything stopping a President (Republican or Democrat) doing the worse version of that statement..

Aww MAAAAN..

Govt sponsored militia? Just sounds like another army for the presidents purpose within the country.

Citizens can and should form militias when needed...the govt already has the army.

The trick here is that US soldiers are sworn to uphold the constitution even above the president...this force will likely have to do no such thing.

This was from a speach on July 2nd, 2008 in Colorado Springs.

It just made the front page of Drudge tonight.

I could have sworn that I heard it in a beer hall in Munich in '38.
