MADISON – U.S. Rep. Paul Broun is again raising the specter of Democrats turning the United States into a totalitarian state.

Broun,
R-Athens, apparently has not changed his belief that President Obama
may be a fascist since he made similar remarks in Augusta in November
and then in an Associated Press interview.

He told a meeting
of the Morgan County Republicans on Wednesday night that Obama already
has or will have the three things he needs to make himself a dictator:
a national police force, gun control and control over the press.

"He
has the three things that are necessary to establish an authoritarian
government," Broun said. "And so we need to be ever-vigilant, because
freedom is precious."

As he did when comparing Obama to Hitler
and the Soviets last year, Broun cited a speech Obama gave in Colorado
during the campaign last July calling for "a civilian national security
force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as
the military.

In the speech, Obama called young Americans to
serve both at home and abroad, and said he would expand the Peace
Corps, AmeriCorps and other volunteer opportunities. Broun, however,
said Obama was referring to a national police force.

"'The liberals say, 'What is wrong with Americorps?' " Broun said. "Well, this is not Americorps."
