FLASHBACK JULY 2, 2008 : "We have got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded." Barack Hussein Obama... Here it is from Obama's army...... as promised. Now they are bullying and intimidating folks into supporting the bankruptcy and handover of America to our natural enemies.
From The Birmingham News, March 22, 2009: Volunteers fanned out across the Birmingham area and Alabama Saturday to pump up enthusiasm for President Barack Obama's budget proposal in much the same way they did to win over voters during the presidential campaign.
About 30 volunteers in Birmingham canvassed shopping areas and other high-traffic locations to talk about the need for health care reform, an education overhaul and environmentally friendly energy development.
"If we don't change these three things in the next 10 to 15 years, America is over as we know it," Chris DeHaven, told the group of volunteers before they went their separate ways.
Obama's plan faces criticism from Republicans and others who say it's too expensive. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report Friday saying Obama's agenda would cause huge budget deficits, forcing the country to borrow $9.3 trillion in the next decade.
Those who gathered at Kelly Ingram Park in downtown Birmingham were urged to enlist others who share Obama's vision and to stay away from trying to convert naysayers.
"We're looking for supporters," said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event's organizers. "We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army."
The volunteers are part of Organizing for America, the same grassroots, national network credited in large part with Obama's quick rise from obscurity to president. Birmingham and 11 other sites statewide were part of a national push this weekend by Organizing for America to trumpet Obama's spending proposal.
The meaning of DeHaven's remarks should not be mistaken: They are not interested in winning supporters through rational discussion. This campaign is aimed at organizing existing supports into an "army" for "a fight" against "naysayers" once that army has been created.
Of course, one could take it to mean that the "fight" will be merely a war of words. Which is why they need an "army"...

Revere -- the smallest morsel of comfort -- at least, if it takes the shape I expect, their "army" won't be armed.
I get a cold chill when I think of where this country is now headed but I don't think there will be any way to stop it. Americans, true Americans not sheeple, are not going to stand for this.
The "army" DeHaven is talking about probably won't be armed, though would it not have the backing of very much armed federal agencies? What shape are you expecting it to take? I'm thinking in terms of numbers and widespread intimidation.
You're right, Revere, and this is where it gets weird.
What kind of Federal Agencies? Will the regular rank and file of something like the FBI or Homeland Security or even The Guard etc would the regular footsoldier, so to speak, be ready willing and able to fire upon and or lock up dissenters? Fellow Americans?Would they follow orders they knew to be illegal?
I can't answer that though I would hope the answer is no.
So, the DeHaven's of the world would be coming at us to intimidate but how? Taking our names & numbers of course. Coming around with their own goon squads, who may or may not be armed, rounding up the usual suspects, in which case our only option would be armed resistance.
OR
a new agency would need to be formed possibly out of this Civilian Service crap. Armed or unarmed again our only option would be armed resistance.
and I still think if they try a national gun grab first, which is what they would almost have to do to quell any potential uprising, then it's going to be on before this army of theirs hits the streets.
I don't see American military personnel (with rare exceptions) firing on American citizens on the orders of this administration under almost any circumstances. However, it has occasionally happened before and there are many unknowns in this equation.
I sure hope armed resistance won't be the only option because some of us are going to have to whack 'em with our canes if we can find them.
Revere I'm bettin' any cane you wield has a whollop to be truly feared :)
