RSSAn Update On Obama’s Army
Carl Andrews | July 29, 2009
Yesterday, we received a comment on one of our articles about Barack Obama’s Civilian Defense Force, or as we here at the Freedom Medium call it, Obama’s Army.
The writer took issue with the fact that we speculated that perhaps this force would be used to carry out tasks that the military refused to do because perhaps the orders they would receive they would consider to be unconstitutional.
We had also provided a link at the end of the article to the White House website that outlined the requirements (at that time) of the program, and the person leaving the comment also stated that they found nothing on the White House website that made mention of this force being used to do anything that would be against the Constitution.
Before we get into this, let’s have a recap of President Obama’s statement on this topic:
“We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”
We are going to address things somewhat out of order, and talk about the link to the White House website first.
The folks running the White House website are a bit more clever than some people give them credit for, and are not going to spell out violations of the Constitution.
In it’s original wording, the change.gov website announced the President’s proposal for requiring 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school, and 100 hours for each year a young person was attending college.
The wording was later changed to “setting a goal for service.”
You may ask where does the unconstitutional part enter the picture?
It is our opinion that requiring any American citizen not subject to a military draft to perform a set number of hours of community service at the behest of the federal government is in violation of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
If individual states aren’t allowed to do this, the federal government sure as hell isn’t.
Which brings us back to our speculation that perhaps the members of Obama’s Army would be called upon to perform taks that the military would consider unconstitutional.
And no, we are not a group of conspiracy theorists who take turns trying on each others tinfoil hats.
However, the question remains as to why do we need a civilian defense force that’s “just as powerful, just as strong” as America’s military?
One possible answer is that, unlike the members of America’s Armed Forces, Obama seeks to put together a group that is just as powerful as our military, yet whose members have not taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

If Obama is really as anti-American as I feel he is, do you think America’s armed forces will follow Obama and turn on American citizens or will they defend Americans against Obama?
