Civilian Corps: Your Friendly Neighborhood Gestapo

That may be what we are headed for in realizing Obama’s promised Dream State. I have had a discussion going with Hootsbuddy about the idea of a civilian corps as put forth by Rahm Emanuel, that we took into private email for a few exchanges. All friendly, while in disagreement- the way good civil conversations should go. But I think it is time we took off the rosey colored glasses that give us the warm fuzzies whenever we hear of the bright bushy tailed civilian corps of paramilitary youth drafted for the “community good”.

Here is something that is reported to be happening now. This, my friends, is the direction of government regulation… and it ain’t all crunchy granola laced love and light.

Swat Team conducts food raid in rural Ohio. Read on.

On Monday, December 1, a SWAT team with semi-automatic rifles entered the private home of the Stowers family in LaGrange, Ohio, herded the family onto the couches in the living room, and kept guns trained on parents, children, infants and toddlers, from approximately 11 AM to 8 PM.

…The family was not permitted a phone call, and they were not told what crime they were being charged with. They were not read their rights. Over ten thousand dollars worth of food was taken, including the family’s personal stock of food for the coming year. All of their computers, and all of their cell phones were taken, as well as phone and contact records. The food cooperative was virtually shut down. There was no rational explanation, nor justification, for this extreme violation of Constitutional rights.

Presumably Manna Storehouse might eventually be charged with running a retail establishment without a license.

…The issue appears to be the discovery of a bit of non-institutional beef in an Oberlin College food service freezer a year ago that was tracked down by a county sanitation official to Manna Storehouse. Oberlin College’s student food coop is widely known for its strident ideological stance about eating organic foods. ~from Kjos Ministries their bio

“The USDA just released their plans to put a law into action that will put all small farmers out of business. Animals for the sale of meat or milk will only be allowed in commercial farms, even the organic ones.” -The Bovine Blog
