Obama Youth, seriously?
I guess the government schools aren’t enough. Now we need “service learning“. WTF?
From Infowars:
The House passed a bill yesterday which includes disturbing language indicating young people will be forced to undertake mandatory national service programs as fears about President Barack Obama’s promised “civilian national security force” intensify.
The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed yesterday by a 321-105 margin and now goes to the Senate.
It’s the blatantness of it that astounds me. They just don’t care about hiding what they’re up to any more.
“You WILL Give!” It sounds better in the original German.
Caring about society and being a socialist are two different things. Of course, part of American freedom is that you are free to be a lazy, do nothing, tax moocher if you so prefer and good luck to anyone who picks that as a way of life. I agree that enforced volunteerism is not actually volunteering. But, kids have to be taught what to do and given the opportunities to experience areas of life outside their normal little world of family, friends, and school activities. This bill is actually just a means to free up budget money to direct it to the organizations that will be identifying areas of need for volunteers and getting the volunteers there. After that, it is up to the kids to decide whether a life of service outside their own personal lives is for them. No one will be forcing them to continue it. Americans have become too self-centered as a whole and I suspect a little volunterism would do the author of this blog a little good as well. I don’t expect my comment to make it to the blog and will anxiously await the nasty personal attack that no doubt will be forthcoming.
Social Engineering is not the job of the United States Government – it was very popular in progressive 1930’s Germany and Italy however – and neither is wealth redistribution.
Boy gee wiz you Republicans are really grasping for any fear you can tack onto Americans aren’t you?
9/11 = Lies.
WMD fears = Lies.
ACORN fears = Lies.
Obama the Muslim = Lies.
Terrorists at every corner = Lies.
Drill in the arctic to save us = Lies.
Bank deregulation = Lies.
and now… what else? More Lies??? How surprising!!!!!
Sorry republicans hags, we are NOT AFRAID of you bastards. You screwed up the US. Shut up and go back in your nasty filthy deadly holes.
It’s hilarious that you invoke Hitler because you act like a bunch of lame-ass clones of Joseph Goebbels.
Truther eh? That’s quite a list, Winston Smith would be proud. That you can write.
Dig a nice hole for yourself where you can keep your wheelbarrows of Obama money, swim around in it like Scrooge McDuck. Yeh.
In high school, I dated a girl who had german parents. Her dad had been in the Hitler Youth.
pm, the issue isn’t whether kids should get experiences out of their regular sphere; reasonable people can agree to disagree here. The issue is whether they should be compelled to, by force of law. You use the phrase “nobody will be forcing them to continue it. Do you believe that they should be forced to do any of this? I’d be very interested in a straight “yes” or “no”.
raaa, thank you for your candor. It’s clear that you see this as spoils of war. It’s refreshing to no longer have the left mouthing empty platitudes about the Constitution and the rights of the people.
raaa: Wait, what? Seriously? You’re saying that REPUBLICANS are the only ones spouting the nonsense list above? I don’t know who you are, but you’ve certainly bought into SOMEthing, and I think its nickname is “Mary Jane”. Watch out, that stuff is laced sometimes.
I also find it interesting that you use the spelling of a “scary scream”, a’la a cartoon character, for your handle, and then insult the hell out of people you don’t know while not actually saying anything helpful. Good show. Where’s my popcorn?
Lethal force is an appropriate response to any attempt to enslave an individual.
And if the kids do not follow orders? will it be rape in a government prison system? who will be the boss in the training camps? the innter city gang guys? what will happen when the little white girls say not to sex with the third worlds people? what will happen when some little white boy is beaten to death after prison rape?
“I say do it”, the yourth of this senseless country have it coming!
Buy Guns help to keep the USA Free of our enemies!
“oh yes”, the guy who called out for a 3 million people march on washington is now running like a little woman asking the same government not to put him in prison.
