      ...Obama is the Commander in Chief. So technically, the US Army is HIS army. :)

        Conservatives are like little kids...

        It does take a child-like mentality to believe the insane ravings of Glenn Beck, that's for sure.

        The big bad government is going to huff, and puff, and blow your house away... and take away everything and force you into labor camps, etc. etc. etc.

        Republican party method for the few controlling the many.Make them put their own fear on.Most of the time for the past 50 years,republicans and so-called conservatives have only won elections by tricking(scareing)the people.Republicans,and so-called conservatives do not win elections by being honest,never have.There is only one way to defeat them,TRUTH,in the same and larger doses than the lies republican party media delivers everyday.

      The President is wanting to beef up our borders, to protect us from terrorists, but this is really a giant plot to create his own army. And if the President ignored our borders, then what would he say?

      Before Beck suck-up MagCynic or some other severely misguided Beck clone brings it up, this is some of what Obama was calling for in his "civilian force" speech:

      "We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, and to be there for our military families. And we're going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 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.

      "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We need to use technology to connect people to service. We'll expand USA Freedom Corps to create online networks where American can browse opportunities to volunteer."

        OOOOOOO! SCARY! These guys are so completely void in patriotism and the concept of helping their fellow man, that this whole concept just passes them by. All they want to see is boogie men where their are none, but they completely fail to see real threats, such as unwarranted wiretapping, when they actually do exist.
