Congressman Warns Of Obama Dictatorship
Posted by Administrator under: Obama Sucks! .
MADISON – U.S. Rep. Paul Broun is again raising the specter of Democrats turning the United States into a totalitarian state.
Broun, R-Athens, apparently has not changed his belief that President Obama may be a fascist since he made similar remarks in Augusta in November and then in an Associated Press interview.
He told a meeting of the Morgan County Republicans on Wednesday night that Obama already has or will have the three things he needs to make himself a dictator: a national police force, gun control and control over the press.
“He has the three things that are necessary to establish an authoritarian government,” Broun said. “And so we need to be ever-vigilant, because freedom is precious.”
As he did when comparing Obama to Hitler and the Soviets last year, Broun cited a speech Obama gave in Colorado during the campaign last July calling for “a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the military.
In the speech, Obama called young Americans to serve both at home and abroad, and said he would expand the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps and other volunteer opportunities. Broun, however, said Obama was referring to a national police force.
“‘The liberals say, ‘What is wrong with Americorps?’ ” Broun said. “Well, this is not Americorps.”
Broun also said he thinks the national media is openly supporting Obama’s policies. He also said he believes the president and Attorney General Eric Holder will enact new gun-control policies.
Holder said in February that he wants to renew a Clinton-era ban on assault weapons, but Obama said in April that he is putting the issue on the back burner.
Broun also cited the dozens of so-called “czars” Obama has appointed to oversee areas like the troubled car industry as evidence that he is overstepping his bounds to seek power.
“They’re developing a shadow government that (does not) answer to the American people,” Broun said.
At a town hall meeting in Clarkesville last month, Broun called Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a “socialistic elite” and agreed with a constituent who said they might use a flu pandemic to declare martial law.
“They’re trying to develop an environment where they can take over,” Broun said. “We’ve seen that historically.”
More than 1,000 people combined turned out to hear Broun speak mostly on the topic of health care at town hall meetings Wednesday in Madison and Greene County.
About 300 attended the Madison meeting. At Lake Oconee, the audience filled three 300-seat movie theaters, where Broun spoke on the invitation of three local doctors who have been giving presentations on Democrats’ proposals for health care reform, said Bob Cowles, one of the organizers. Broun spoke live in one theater, while crowds in the other two listened in over a closed circuit.
Health care reform also is about Democrats seeking more power, Broun said.
“It gives them more power, more control over your life,” he said.
Health care is too expensive, he said, and he attributed the cost to government regulations like HIPPA, a 1996 patient privacy and insurance portability law. Rather than create a government-run insurance program to compete with private insurers, the current system’s framework should be kept, but with changes like expanded tax-free health savings accounts, more tax credits for medical expenses and tax breaks for doctors who provide charity care, Broun said.
“Just like (when) you have a dog with fleas, you don’t kill the dog, you put on a flea collar,” he said.
Broun has scheduled another town hall meeting for 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Oconee County Civic Center.

Good job Nobama. Good job. Your skills at running the country are remarkable. We should all bow down and thank you since those who voted for you think you are some kind of messiah.
Enjoy retirement in 2012.

He makes a good point, though it is nothing new; it is simply an example of The One extending his power in yet another direction; that is, to make our public and private safety dependent upon "National Security Force" stormtroopers as opposed to police.

This administration is a failure. The stimulus bill is a big waste of money and future generations will have to foot the repayment.
Joy.

So, start with health care and real estate(Obamacare and mortgage bailouts) then move to national security(see above)…what's the next institution to be forced to dance to the tune of The One's puppetry?

One of my favorite columnists is Debra J. Saunders, a woman who most certainly does not pander to the mainstream media. She quoted N. Cavuto, of Fox News in her column today:
(A report in The New England Journal of Medicine) found that 3/4 of Dr. Jack Kevorkian's patients were not terminally ill…Kevorkian gave a quasi-endorsement of Obamacare on Cavuto's show: "The death panel makes it sound so negative." Where is the mercy in telling vulnerable people that they should want to die?

Is this really news to all of us who have been frequenting this site? Why are we letting this man rule our lives without fighting him on all fronts. This is an abomination to the freedom of a country that I love with all of my heart, a country that I believe to be blessed by God. That is why it is free (at least for now). Osama is a marxist/communist/satanist I don't care what anyone says. He is just usurping his power and will continue to do so until we as American people as a whole reign this very poor excuse of a president (and man in my opinion) by using not only our voices but the strength that we have as the American people.

Hey, since Obama is all for redistribution of wealth, I think he should reach into his bank account and give out a few million of his own personal money. I'll take a free-bee right here. (we know how much you love giving those out with OUR tax money)

Sorry Farouk, But that is never going to happen, The stupid liberals will elect this man again by a huge landside,in 2012 I feel we are all doomed unless something happens to reverse this trend, by 2016 this country will be called the U.S.S.A. and be in complete ruins. I feel this is the end of the United States. I have lost all hope!!!!!!!

Frank,
Relax, ultimately the American people will win and both he and his chip will get tossed. His vanity, superior attitude and eventually his complete botching of both the economy and our foreign policy will be his undoing. Actually, it's happening as we speak, just look at his poll numbers. They're dropping like a little boy's shorts at Neverland Ranch.
Cheer up.

As we see from The One's words and actions, he is a hypocrite. In another instance, he first lavishes praise on vaunted public schools, but then set the record straight by saying he sends his own kids to private school.

Well said. Why should we defer debt to the next generation? It was this type of thinking that got us into the current mess. Stimulus, nothing. The fed's job should be to defend its people from foreign warmongers.

Learned colleague,
My sympathies go out to you in the wake of what appears to be, for you, a most trying time in your life indeed.
It may give you comfort to know that, since the heath care bill most likely will not be passed, you will be able to see a doctor of your choice in a time frame that is convenient for you, and that you may finally be able to take care of that anger management problem. Bet of luck to you!

The One and his cohorts are snarling and gnashing their teeth at the prospect of their massive health care ransom note being curtailed.
It's about time someone stood up to these spoiled brats.
Responsible voters have spoken, and for these pushers to instigate a "yea" vote via a plurality screams hypocrisy.

This is such and EPIC FAIL…this guy FAILS at so many levels that I can't believe he was allowed to exist in the political stage of America. And for that I have only one simple argument :
He calls Obama a fascist, first…
Then he calls him a socialist…
This is EPIC FAIL because first of all he associates socialism (or communism) with dictatorship, which is false. Second of all, he si clearly just attacking Obama, without having any actual logic in between his attacks. He just attacks, and thus proves that he has no interest in anything else than to get to power, and, if possible, eliminate his adversaries on the way, in a manner that is fast (and in his case, plain stupid).

Your observation in regard to college kids and women rings true, at least in my town. I have yet to meet one person from either of those aforementioned groups who is not an ardent supporter of The One. When I attempt to ask a question regarding the massive debt the country is incurring or bring up the statistic that many blacks voted for this guy without the knowledge that his policies would impede their employment prospects, I am ignored or verbally insulted as a racist.
I have noticed, sadly, that his fans appear to become more entrenched in their support of him as things get worse economically, as if he holds the panacea somewhere in his inexperienced noggin.

By applying socialistic policy on the federal level by fiat, as he has, The One is most certainly practicing a kind of dictatorship. The majority of voters disapprove of socialized medicine, but The One and his cronies continue promising to get it through by putting his words in our mouths–forcing it on us like a street corner pusher who won't take "no" for an answer.

Sounds like your cocktail left you with one heck of a hangover. My sympathies.
However, if you were to take your statements, edit them so they more closely resemble English, and apply them to The One, then you just might be on to something. This is precisely what The One, with help from his willing assistants in Big Media, did during the last election…that is, mud-sling his opponents into oblivion.
If one gets one's information about the world entirely from one source, then one can be said to live in a vacuum. That is the intent of The One…to grab kids when they are young and hold them in his thrall so that when they reach the tender age of 18 they will have had all other views sucked out of them. This, of course, leaves lockstep drones who never need think about anything except the navigational hurdle from their front doors to the voting booth…if even that.

George Washington was a great leader because his wealth of varied experiences
(General, Continental Congress, etc.). His fortitude was tested through many rites of passage, both moral and political, long before he was elected the first president.
The One had a strictly limited dearth of experiences–in one area, that of "community organizer," before using his color-coded rhetoric to get an appointment to the Senate. He made the jump to his current position, not by dint of any true leadership experience or accomplishment, but through bypassing the usual rites of political passage and manipulating the mass media by way of his activist credentials.
Founding fathers, where art thou?
