When will this madness ever end? Every day I get up in the morning turn on the TV and there is one more thing that is going on in Washington that really ticks me off! These people just keep throwing one thing after another at the American people. Well today is no different other than this story hasn’t hit the news yet, and judging by how long it takes for stuff on the internet to make it to the news it will probably be the weekend by time it hits.
I would imagine that none of the news stations will even carry the story except FOX. Well here it is! I am sure you have all seen and remember the videos of the so called civilian security force that Barry was touting that we needed during his campaign stops. Well it looks like he is finally going to get it because it was tucked away inside of the new Obamacare bill that just got passed.
I’m no idiot I know what the Obamacare bill was about and it wasn’t about heath care for all Americans. Come on! Are you serious? Why would a democratic president, congress, and senate want to pass a civilian security force? I mean these are the same people who try and usually do trash our military every chance they get. They are always trying to defund our military and military programs. These are also the same people who are constantly trying to take away our 2nd amendment rights, but yet they feel that we need another civilian security force one that answers and is appointed by the president.
Hmmm….isn’t that what the National Guard is for? Isn’t it’s exact purpose to help out with national emergencies, and to fill in the spots where our regular military needs help? Oh I almost forgot the National Guard is under the control of the states, where was my head.
Well before I get off track here I will let you make up your own mind about the bill and what is going on. You can look it up for yourself by going to http://democrats.senate.gov/reform/patient-protection-affordable-care-act-as-passed.pdf it starts on page 1312. Below is a copy of what it says.
Thanks to OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES & OUR SACRED HONOR for the tip!

Ok,
Misinformation is the root of all evil. YOU must not know about the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service. The Corps is over 100 years old and has been serving proudly alongside our fellow uniformed personnel in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. There is also a commissioned corps for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). All seven (7) uniformed services have an Active Duty and Reserve Corps. This legislation that you are “freaking” out about will essentially alter the status of present commissioned officers in the Corps. It will convert all active duty officers in the Corps to the Regular Corps and eliminate the “active duty” Reserve Corps. Prior to this legislation, commissioned officers on active duty in the Corps had to apply for assimilation into the Regular Corps. They were then boarded and accepted into the Regular Corps (permanent corps of the USPHS). This legislation will also eliminate the limit on the number of officers in the Regular Corps which was previously set to 4000. So, educate yourself and understand that this is not a “New Army” created by Obamacare. Learn more at USPHS.GOV
