OHS to Militarize AmeriCorps

by mark
200,000 civil defense volunteers under the Office of Homeland Security.
According to this Reuters story, the Senate is proposing to increase by six times the size of AmeriCorps (the domestic volunteer service program established by Pres. Clinton) for purposes of civil defense activities such as civilian patrols; the new recruits would work as volunteers under the White House Office of Homeland Security.

roving bands of militarized volunteers supported by the federal government? where have i heard of that before ..?
by Jon
they number in the thousands, and are supported by the federal government too. I think they are spying on us, and working to oppress the poor in this country.

Keep a suspicious eye on the crossing guards-- especially the old ladies!!

DOWN WITH THE OPPRESSIVE REGIME!

Wow, Jon, I didn't realize. Here I thought it was the brownshirts all over again, but really it is just as innocent as the school crossing guard! Excellent analysis! The Office of Homeland Security just wants to help us get across the street!

Jon, you are the dumbest person to post on this site. Congratulations! I will compile your greatest hits!

"The Office of Homeland Security's new volunteer law enforcement program is just like the school crossing guard program." -Jon

"Everyone knows that is a U.S. Air Force uniform." -Jon

"Read my peanut butter post!!! Really, its smart!!" -Jon

I have no idea what you are talking about-- I never made the statements you claim that I made. Perhaps there are more than just one "Jon" posters in this world.

You know what they say about people who "assume"....you are an ASS.
by Jon
I did too say those things, or something like them, but you're the stupid one for not seeing the truth in them.

Wait. . . did I write those things? Better ask Jon.
by Jon
I am also Jon, and I renounce the other two Jons as right-wing nuts who are actually the same person! Go back to freerepublic where your ideas can be assimilated into the patriotic whole
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
