Ruling By A Radical

by Melanie Phillips - March 25th, 2009 - Spectator

So Obama’s not just governing but he’s still campaigning. Against whom? [It] can only be Congress and other constitutional elements supposed to act as checks and balances on the Presidency, against which Obama is seeking to recruit the pressure-power of millions of people.

There was also his deeply troubling suggestion during his presidential campaign – which received virtually no attention – of creating a civilian national security force that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force, although he subsequently refused to elaborate upon this distinctly chilling suggestion (and indeed, according to this report these remarks actually vanished from the published transcript of Obama’s speech).

A few days ago, however, the House of Representatives passed the Orwellian-sounding ‘Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act’ which provides for the introduction of mandatory national service (unspecified) for all young people.

The secrecy and stubborn commitment of Barack Obama to this Alinsky plan for subversion of democracy is frightening. I have previously covered the article by Selwyn Duke, "Fear and the Security force", which addressed this issue immediately after the election. It is not a new fear. What will it take for people to wake up? Will we truly wait until the "brown shirts" are standing at our door before Martin Niemoler's poem comes back to haunt us?
