Gohmert isn’t sure if Obamacare’s ‘secret security force’ will use weapons or syringes

Source: Raw Story

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) recently repeated a debunked conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was deploying a “secret security force” as part of the health care reform law, but he wasn’t sure if they were being trained with weapons or syringes.

In a Friday interview, Christian radio host Janet Mefferd told the Texas congressman that the evidence of President Barack Obama creating a civilian security force and hoarding ammunition was adding up.

Gohmert agreed that “Obamacare wasn’t just about health care” and pointed to a section of the Affordable Care Act that created the Ready Reserve Corps to “assist full-time Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.”

While FactCheck.org has debunked conspiracy theories that claimed the health care law gave “Obama a Nazi-like ‘private army’ of 6,000 people,” Gohmert still believed there could be evil lurking behind the Ready Reserve Corps.

that William Daniels played in that movie would be considered a liberal RINO by today's crackpot standards. The fact that he only had ONE gun in his car, and it was only a pistol...proves he doesn't support the 2nd Amendment!

would be unknown to a congresscritter. The reason the Surgeon General gets to swan around in a rear admiral's uniform. So the need for an inactive reserve component for rapid deployment would whoose right over his head. I imagine he has to be reminded to breathe in and out. There's stupid; then there's brain dead.

It's why midterm elections are crucial. 100% of the HoR nd 33% of the Senate is up for grabs in 2014.

we had another Anthrax terrorist who had better success than the last one and sickened hundreds or even thousands.

He was talking about doubling the size of the PEACE CORPS, and U.S. Foreign Service. Not that this makes any difference to a bunch of assholes who are deliberately trying to whip a bunch of heavily armed crackpots up into a homicidal rage, and see this quote as a way of doing it.

Watch at the 16:30 mark.

A 'friend' is posting multiple stories about "600 FEMA camps where Obama will put all the Christians." He's really gone off the deep end, along with the crazies that post in agreement. They're really working themselves up. It's a little scary.
