When is a military force not a military force?

by Skip

From our friend Ken at Blue Collar Muse:

In a July 2 speech outlining plans to expand opportunities for people to serve in areas such as AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, Obama makes the following statement with no explanation or amplification.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

[snip]

Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that?

Yikes!  I’m not wondering what the Left is going to be thinking about this (more military spending, even if under a new name), but what should I be thinking? Another $500 billion and another bureaucracy?

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.
