re: ["Isn't this what the National Guard in each state is supposed to be about???? I know they were not supposed to be over in Iraq..."]
That is exactly what our existing State and Local Police, and in dire emergencies -- the National Guard are for.
There was such an uproar years ago when UN troops in the tens of thousands, were training at US military bases, that I think they know... that if they start bringing in foreign troops... that people will revolt - knowing what's coming.
But, not with a "domestic" security force.
....and watch Obama & Company - soon stop referring to it as a "security force."
It will be disguised as public works, enviro-corps etc.
This is what it will be, and what it will be for:

Did you notice that there were no National Guardsmen disarming the looters, or gangs at the SuperDome?
People...
Meredith Whitney just told you what I've been saying all along...
That the Fed's are lying to our faces - they are NOT encouraging banks to lend in any way, shape, or form.
The banks are in the process of cutting one half of all existing available consumer credit.
And in case anyone is confused about what that will do... it will drive a stake in the heart of the US economy.
The FDIC is raising rates on small community banks so high, that it is eating up all their operating profits.
That, along with the bailout banks receiving cheap money, is putting tremendous pressure on small, local banks (by design), as they can not compete with Banks receiving TARP money.
Banks who received taxpayer TARP funds are hiking interest rates and raising minimum payments on credit cards, cutting off existing Home Equity & Small Business credit line, and adding a plethora of junk fees - to those same taxpayers who just mortgaged their children's future - to allow them to stay in business.
...some deal - huh?
5 to 7 large major banks, control 70% of all credit card & mortgage origination credit. And now they're turning the screw on the small community banks.
Read between the lines folks...
Ignore what they say -- pay attention to what they do.
Just like Chris Dodd who stood before America and lied in our face... the Federal Government is doing the same thing about encouraging banks to lend.
They tell us one thing - and are doing the exact opposite.
That CEO from Bridgewater Savings that appeared on CNBC the other night is a great example of the BS PR job the Treasury, and the Fed are doing on the public.
They feign fake outrage over the bonuses - AFTER writing the loophole legislation into the bills.
And now, Dodd, after getting caught in a lie, is basically flipping on Obama - saying he did it at the behest of the administration!
This is WATERGATE level stuff people.
Obama is just as big a liar as is Chris Dodd.
Obama just made a PR tour and played America as a ship of fools.
I just spent nearly two hours on the phone to both my Senators, and my Congressman. I sent them emails, and a fax. And I'm also moving to set up a Cincinnati style Tea Party.
I also just paid someone to make 1,000 "Obama Deception" DVD copies to hand out at the Tea Party.
Alex Jones the producer of the documentary has publicly ENCOURAGED people to make copies and to distribute them.
I encourage you to do so as well.
When you call your Congressman, or Senators, know in advance what you want to say. Make some notes. Rehearse the conversation in advance. Stay calm, polite and professional. The same with the tone in your emails, faxes, or letters.
More than likely, you will only be able to speak with a staffer, be firm... let them know YOU ARE PISSED OFF AND ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE! but, be professional.
The Congressional staffer I spoke to, was shook up! They have received a ton of calls! I was the first to call for Dodd's resignation, and I sent them a cut & paste of all the articles I've been citing... and will be getting a follow up call, I'm sure.
It makes you feel good to do something, instead of just talking, or writing about it.
Feel good... feel like an American, and call your Congressman, and Senators TODAY -- DEMAND Dodd's resignation, and express your anger over these bailouts.
And organize, or become part of a local TEA PARTY!
Call, fax, and email your Congressman and Senators NOW, right now... this afternoon and cut & paste that NY Post article and DEMAND that they force Dodd's resignation now, or, you will force THEIRS!
You can find the phone & fax numbers, as well as the email address of your representatives at the links below:
senate.gov
congress.org
To be blunt, if we do not rise up now... and they get this police state in, and drop the cap & trade and carbon taxes on us... it's all over people.
America will have drawn it's last breath.
And make no mistake about it, that IS the battle you are fighting.
Call your Congressman, and Senators TODAY - RIGHT NOW!
