Citing Barack Obama's stated intention of starting a 'Civilian National Security Force' that answers directly to him, a United States Congressman has warned that the proposal has all of the markings of a Marxist dictatorship.
As we have warned for months, the Obama proposal to create this security force that would have equal funding and status to that of the U.S. Military is a concept born in and implemented by Marxist-Socialist dictatorships throughout the world.
Such a security force was implement by Adolf Hitler in Germany and by Joseph Stalin in the old Soviet Union.
Most if not all of Obama's proposals are a direct assault on freedoms enjoyed by U.S. citizens. In fact, which of the Obama proposals are NOT a threat to liberty?

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, RIP
It is with some sadness that we note the death of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, age 89, the famed Russian dissident and author.
It was Solzhenitsyn that gave world-wide notoriety to the horrors of Russian Communism, horrors that had been largely hidden from the world for decades.
Solzhenitsyn put a face to the multiple millions of persons who had been imprisoned, tortured, deprived of food and water, and forced to suffer in the cold by Soviet Communists. The West could no longer ignore the atrocities of the Marxist revolution and its aftermath. Solzhenitsyn had been there himself.
Solzhenitsyn also confirmed estimates that Joseph Stalin's regime in the USSR had systematically murdered upwards of 27 million Russians.
The life and work of Alexander Solzhenitsyn are a stark reminder of the dire consequences of totalitarian systems of government and the toll they take not only on human liberty but on human life as well.

FACT CHECK: Why Commies Are Evil
On this the day after 'May Day' during which Communists around the world march to celebrate their ideology, it is imperative to do a quick fact check.
To put it simply, Commies are evil.
For Communists to celebrate is every bit as twisted and demented as Nazis celebrating Jewish skeletons at Auschwitz.
This is not some friendly disagreement concerning ideology, such as the difference between a moderate Republican and a conservative one. This is about pure evil and the danger it poses to all of humanity.
Conservative estimates indicate that the number of murders directly linked to Communist regimes is at least 110 MILLION. Stalin had roughly 25-30 million of his own countrymen in the USSR slaughtered. When Communists took over China, another massive purge of Chinese, Tibetans, and others took place that would make Hitler's Holocaust pale in comparison.
In like manner, when the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia was unleashed after America refused to win in Southeast Asia, the slaughter of tens of millions of Cambodians ensued. History shows that the same thing happened all over the world when Communism came to power, from Cuba to Central America to North Korea.
And this is not to mention the murders that the USSR perpetrated against the citizens of Eastern Europe following Hitler's demise.
As with extremist Muslim terrorists, the Jihadists, Communists seize and hold power by force. Those who resist are killed.
Thus, Commies are every bit as evil and dangerous as Jihadists. Cold-blooded mass murderers by any name are a blight on humanity.

Armed and Safe says he is placed in the unprecedented position of defending Dick Cheney for opposing the Administration's stance on D.C. vs. Heller, and adding his signature to the Congressional brief which supports Heller in the D.C. gun ban. We agree. Mr. Cheney should be given rousing accolades for having the courage to follow his convictions in the face of a President who seems to have forgotten ALL of his!:

The Volokh Conspiracy has a VERY interesting read on Cuba. It seems liberals are always judging the goodness of a government by 'how many people react to it fondly.' This argument is full of holes.

Will Switzerland Be Gobbled Up by EU 'Values'?
Other than having some of the most breathtaking mountain panoramas in the world, the Swiss have been known for centuries for three things, i.e., their neutrality and fierce independence, gun rights, and democratic values that have produced one of the most economically vibrant nations in the world.
While the rest of Western Europe plunged into decline economically, militarily, and politically, Switzerland thrived. This fact was lost on a recent writer of an article that appeared in the U.K.'s 'The Independent,' who claims that Switzerland may be Europe's 'heart of darkness' due to its intent in recent days to do something to stem the tide of a burgeoning immigration problem.
The writer also failed to mention that the rest of Western Europe's failure to deal with this very problem has brought it to the brink of disintegration and chaos at the hands of Islamic extremists.
It would seem clear, then, that Europe's 'heart of darkness' exists not within Switzerland, but within the Houses of Parliament in London, Paris, and Berlin, as well as within the corridors of the EU's Parliament in Brussels.
It would also be a big mistake to fail to mention that while 'enlightened' Europe dealt rather unsuccessfully with Adolf Hitler, Switzerland managed to avoid the stain, the stench, and the statism of totalitarianism.
The Swiss stayed out of WWII not because they did not detest Adolf Hitler and the Nazis but because their accepted policy on national defense forbade an attack on a foreign government unless they were attacked first.
Switzerland was the only nation in that part of Europe that Hitler did not invade. Neither did Stalin from the West.
The reasons most often cited by scholars for Switzerland's escape from attack are two-fold: Switzerland's unfathomably rugged terrain, and the nation's long-standing policy that all adult males belong to the militia for a specified number of years, which mandates that each male keep a government-issued fully-automatic rifle.
If a militiaman is an officer, he is required to be part of the militia 5 years longer than others and must keep a semi-automatic pistol in his home.
Had either Hitler or Stalin attempted to invade Switzerland, the two vast unknown variables would come staring them squarely in the face--navigating the rugged mountains would have proved nearly impossible and deadly, and facing a citizenry where every single male is armed would have surely produced massive bloodshed.
To this day, Switzerland's policy of an armed citizens militia still stands. Yet there are signs of opposition. Globalism, the influence of EU values, and immigration are all taking their toll on traditional Swiss values--values that have kept the nation free from invasion and economically strong.
A recent poll in Switzerland suggests that 2 out of 3 Swiss residents want a change in the nation's policy toward firearms. A 'Green' member of the nation's Federal Assembly wants the guns out of the homes. A proposal has been put forth which mandates that the firearms be kept at various government locations and that gun registration be implemented for private ownership.
As it stands now, no permit is required to buy a gun, although one must obtain a 'carry permit' in order to carry a firearm openly. Some of the nation's cantons--the equivalent of a 'state' in the U.S.--are very liberal in their issuance policies, meaning of course, that government monitoring is kept to a minimum.
Although Switzerland is one of the most heavily armed countries in the free world, the crime rate is very low. Deaths by firearms are amazingly low, most of which are suicides and the occasional murders of family members. Due to the rarity of these firearms deaths, the government does not bother to keep statistical information on such things.
When the country's total population of 6 million is taken into consideration, plus the fact that there are upwards of 3 million firearms owned by the citizens, the number of firearms deaths per year--an estimated 300 at the most--is minuscule.
Switzerland is not a part of the European Union, although many in the nation's younger generation desire closer ties to the EU. Many believe that eventually the Euro will become the nation's currency, although there is strong opposition to such a plan.
The creeping crawl of the EU and globalism is having an impact on the Swiss, no doubt. Under intense pressure from outside sources, Swiss banks have begun to selectively cooperate with foreign authorities in providing data to law enforcement personnel.
Historically this information was kept strictly confidential. However, the Swiss are under intense pressure from the global community to be a 'good neighbor' by cooperating more fully with members of the international community.
The pressure of the international community gives one pause to wonder if Swiss independence will withstand the onslaughts of leftists who wish to change society from top to bottom. Part of the problem has been immigration. Although Switzerland has been able to control its borders admirably, the issue of legal immigration is one of great curiosity.
Upwards of 25 percent of the Swiss workforce is foreign--one of the highest in Europe. With immigrants crowding into the country whose values do not mirror those of the traditional Swiss, the leftists have had natural allies in their attempts to reconstruct Swiss society.
So far Switzerland has been able to fight off the wolves in spite of the fact that they have invaded the hen house.
It is to be noted that the Founding Fathers of the United States government expressed deep admiration for the Swiss ideal of limited government. For centuries the Swiss have managed to keep that ideal intact. The country is known for a very small and limited central government bureaucracy, and the citizens are often called upon to address political concerns through national referenda.
The leftists are presently attempting to use the tools of democracy, such as the referendum, to implement very un-democratic policies, such as the confiscation of firearms.
A pertinent question arises to the forefront as a thorough consideration is given to these weighty matters: if something isn't broke, why fix it? Switzerland's traditional values of independence, democracy, economic prowess, and gun rights have kept the nation safe from aggression, crime, and economic decline.
This is no time to begin changing one of the most admirable societies ever seen in the history of the world.
