“Obama Derangement Syndrome”

At least ABC’s Jake Tapper calls it that, in reference to comments made by Georgia Congressman Paul Broun. Frankly, though, I found some of Broun’s comments sensible:

“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.”

I agree. Broun also points out that such “national security forces” in other countries generally went hand-in-hand with total disarmament of the public.

Update: Now, we already know that Obama wants to bring back the phony, cosmetically based “assault weapons” ban. There are rumors that he’s planning to do away with legal concealed carry. If he does that, and we are all left unarmed and at the mercy of thugs, mutants, gang members, I can promise you that there will be some sort of deranged response.
