And yes, thx, the avatar is a couple of F16 Tomcats - along with the login name, etc., I'm going for the whole Topgun theme (probably didn't have to explain that, but whatever). Closest I've ever gotten to anything like that is an airshow - awesome is too mild a description.
The nickname for F-16's is Falcon and it's mostly flown by the Air Force...
Tomcat is the nickname for the F-14(the real star of the Top Gun movie) and flown by the Navy, well was flown, I believe they are still being used by Reserve pilots...
Sorry... Ex sailor who worked the flightdeck and armed and launched F-14's.... And a plane nut since I could read...

What do you think of this? Outlandish statement from a paranoid right-winger, or real possibility?
What about a private domestic army answering only to Obama? What exactly would this force do to fill it's time? Is this a bad idea? If so, how do citizens stop it from happening?

Hah! Thanks. This one definitely gets printed and added to my wall-o-insults and is destined to be a classic.

How can you be a "writerchick" and not appreciate the comic book, one of the finest forms of literature known to man?

Well whaddya know? We agree on something!
I actually haven't read a comic for quite some time. However, as soon as I am done with Julius Caesar and Coriolanus I plan on picking up the set of Marvel 1602 (an 8 issue mini-series in which beloved Marvel heroes were born in Elizabethan England, 400 years too early).

No, let me rephrase that for clarity: it is a "what if" story. What if the Marvel heroes and villains were born and lived in 1600's England instead of the present. For example, Nick Fury, leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. is Sir Nicolas Fury, Queen's Intelligencer (spymaster). Matthew Murdoch (Daredevil) is a blind Irish minstrel. Peter Parker (Spider-man) is Peter Parquagh, and is apprentice to Nicolas.
I find it an interesting story :)

It is ridiculous that this is even being discussed. I am a very independent independent and my views are dictated on an issue by issue basis.
I see some liberals defending Obama, some independents showing doubt, but the people I want to address are the people that actually give this story even a hint of credence. I will take a leap here and bet that the large majority are conservative Republucans. Sorry if I painted with too wide a brush.
Do you seriously believe that a "private army" to enforce his socialist agenda and doctrine. Get a grip on reality. Where would he find such an army of fanatics and the budget to arm and operate them? Although we are in an econimic downturn the large majority of people have enaough to eat and have jobs. What would he be enforcing and who would he be tartgeting. The right wing shill who said this compared Obama to Hitler. It simply could not happen today. I mean from a reality standpoint, this country is so diverse, to get any number of people behind an effort like this would take a miracle.
The funniest part of this is there is another reason this cannot happen. The one positive thing I can think of that came out of the Bush administration, is that due to his criminal over-reaching of presidential power, facilitated by the 9/11 tragedy and subsequent fear, we will never see (in our lifetimes and beyond) this happen again. The backlash has been so resounding across the country and the lessons learned so profound, presidents will never again in the foreseeable future be allowed to over step their bounds to any major extent.
Even with a fillibuster proof Congress (which worries me a bit) this army figment of the imagination will never exist. People need to stop listening to the extremeists on both sides and realize that the large majority of us, on most issues, is just left or just right of center. We need to get rid of the Limbaughs and the Obermanns and act in a reasonable caring way towards one another as the lord intended.
Thanks.

it is truely amasing how people who believe that it is "reidiculous" to believe that this country can not possibly be taken over by a dictator totally disregard a deep and continuouse concern by many in this country All through this country's history almost from day one there has existed the danger that someday someone, some party, will manage to find a way to silece the voice of the average person and rule by degree.
This concern has also been voiced by some others frm other part of the world who have been amased as to how our system of goernment managed to function dispite the pressure it always seems to be under to totally confim to one political ideology or other, and not fall under some kind of dictatorship.
To me the funniest think is that for the past eight years or so, we have been listening to the "fear-mongering" of the far left as far as Bush and his administration has been concerned, that we are not resisting the very thng Bush was being accused of, but we are welcoming it. All the time they were making up accusations about the true motives of the Bush administration for going to war in Iraq and bolstering security measures at home, the far left has actually been doing so out of jealousy for not thinking of it first, and salivating at the possibiility of not only doing what they were accusing Bush of, but far more. They have also been devising way of seling it to us so that we will not only want it, but welcome it and who ever they chose to lead it, in such a way that we really would not have a real choice in the matter. (I am not bashing Obama. I am bashing the far left. I tend to believe that Obama is nothng more than their puppet, though I pray he does not turn out to be).

Oh, Please! 
A failure by the Bush Administration to understand an imminent threat was used to reshape the geopolitical landscape and settle a personal score.
Everything since, in the name of security, has been a ham-handed exercise in preventive measures.
The Dems could hardly do worse, now or then.

Then again you may not consider it worse than the Bush administration.
The way you and others have so blinded themselves to reality, you would consider Nazis like fascism of 1930s and 1940s in the United Staes today would be looked on as an improvement.
Enjoy the next four years.
Correction, enjoy the last days of American history.

FYI - politically, Nazis & Commies are polar opposites; The current right-wing fearmongering talking points are declaring Obama a Communist.
I do like the irony in your novel idea of a black Nazi, might make a good Sci-Fi movie.
Now, if you're refering to a fear of National Socialism, I don't think there's enough black folks in America to pull it off.
Fascism?
Well, they're anti-Communist; But, let's disregard that current right-wing talking point as being wrong headed and explore this:
By definition, Fascism is a totalitarian nationalist ideology in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion ( Robert O. Paxton, The Anatomy of Fascism ).
SO, my questions to you would be -
>Do you think the (soft on terrorism) Democratic party is "a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants"?
>Do you feel that the (gun hating) American liberal elites are "working in uneasy but effective collaboration" with these fore mentioned "committed nationalist militants"?
>Do you remember the last 7 years, in which one American political party has "abandoned democratic liberties and pursued with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion"?

Another fine fighter. I was sad when the Navy retired them. The long-range interception capability of a Tomcat with Phoenix missiles was awesome. (F-14 was the only fighter beefy enough to carry them if I'm not mistaken.)
