Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. &#8220;I&#8217;m just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may &#8220;\u201d may not, I hope not &#8220;\u201d but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it&#8217;s exactly what the Soviet Union did,&#8221; Broun said. &#8220;When he&#8217;s proposing to have a national security force that&#8217;s answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he&#8217;s showing me signs of being Marxist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Obama&#8217;s comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado about building a new civil service corps. Among other things, he called for expanding the nation&#8217;s foreign service and doubling the size of the Peace Corps &#8220;to renew our diplomacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Broun said he also believes Obama likely will move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national police force.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t be lulled into complacency,&#8221; Broun said. &#8220;You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany.
