Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship
By BEN EVANS – 2 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.
"It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."
Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.
"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."
Obama's comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado about building a new civil service corps. Among other things, he called for expanding the nation's foreign service and doubling the size of the Peace Corps "to renew our diplomacy."
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," Obama said in July. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Broun said he also believes Obama likely will move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national police force.
Obama has said he respects the Second Amendment right to bear arms and favors "common sense" gun laws. Gun rights advocates interpret that as meaning he'll at least enact curbs on ownership of assault weapons and concealed weapons. As an Illinois state lawmaker, Obama supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on firearms generally.
"We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun said. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential."
Obama's transition office did not respond immediately to Broun's remarks.

I'll be Obama's NOT happy about this comment. :P

Christmas time...Already? :)

So why can't I have my Christmas stuff up? Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, and every other commercial entity out there is already trying to suck my wallet into the joyful holiday season...he he he. I think it is HIGH time that I whip out some Bing Crosby and Andy Williams Christmas music! YEA!

So Mark, Renee, and I went tromping off to the Savannah River today to take Renee's Christmas photos. Due to our cheapness I decided to undertake this project on my own. (I actually went out yesterday with one of my friends...but those photos...at least my photos...didn't turn out so hot.) SOOOO off we went. Needless to say I am more than pleased with what I was able to come up with. Renee was a doll and Mark, bless him, was the BEST assistant I have ever had. I am sure people thought my hubby and I had escaped from a mental institution with some of the things we were doing behind the camera...but the wet willies, the "hitting" mom's camera with sticks, and the "sweeping" of mom's head with pine branches seemed to keep her attention for more than two nanoseconds...so we will take it! HA!

Here are some of the shots that I got.

I hope you liked some of my work. :)

Merry Christmas!
