You heard the story about boiling the frog slowly? Well
this is it!

[StarCMC]

I borrowed your response to post elsewhere -- I couldn't say it better. Hope you don't mind!!

[KittenClaws]

Funny thing, I do not see any “mandatory volunteerism” for those able-bodied individuals on the welfare rolls.

[muawiyah]

These kinds of rules, when in the federal employment package, mean 24/7.

[muawiyah]

It prohibits Mormon Missionaries from being Mormon Missionaries during their period of involuntary servitude.

Really doesn't sound progressive at all.

[muawiyah]

Even soldiers and civil servants have their First Amendment rights at all times. Soldiers sometimes following protocols to exercise them difficult but they are not denied those rights.

exactly..when you join the military, you fall under the UCMJ 24/7, NOT just when you’re on duty..

I emailed this link to a bunch of news organizations — drudge, hannity, rush, etc. I’d like to see more on this on TV/radio. Maybe you should do the same.

[Political Junkie Too]

Does this keep Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson out, too?

[cmillens]

if you really want to DELUDE yourself into believing that, that is certainly your right.

[cmillens]

Apparently you need to read the TEXT of the bill.

Illegal or not this is knocking on the door and only awaits the Vote by the Senate.

[potlatch]

Thanks Star. How often can one be shocked before one becomes inured to it........? This agenda may be the 'grandaddy' of them all to me.

[cubreporter]

No way. No way.

[Lan Astaslem]

Absoulutly correct. If yourecieve a government paycheck, you are on the clock 24/7/365.

[wendelmyer]

This does not surprise me. With all the changes that he has made with such rapid succession, it was just a matter of time.

[muawiyah]

What we have here is an obligation incurred by way of acquiring/qualifying for government insured student debt.

If you do so you owe this additional "interest" (in sweat equity). If you don't care to do the work, or you find that it conflicts with your religious obligations or beliefs, then you can't get the loans, or if you do, not at the lower rate.

That means you must pay more for the same privilege as those who own the state.

The Moslems call this a "jizra", or surtax, on non-Moslems.

Somehow I'm not surprised at all to see the jizra popping up in this regime's bundle of goodies.

[ElayneJ]

I didn’t have any illusions about obama and his agenda. I’m just surprised that he’s implementing it so quickly and so overtly. And this ban on religious participation is just horrifying. I guess obama and his crew think they can get away with it.

Please see this Thread:

From the Thread:
==snip==
The 79-19 roll call by which the Senate voted Thursday to triple the size of the AmeriCorps and broadly expand incentives for students and seniors to give back to their communities.

On this vote, a "yes" vote was a vote to pass the bill.

Voting "yes" were 55 Democrats and 22 Republicans and 2 independents.

A sad day for America!

but what might Muslims say about this?

Most likely they will be given exemptions. They may even allow their call to pray to be heard 3 times a day. I would be surprised if they didn't. Hopefully the whole thing will never happen. It will take God's miracles to stop this train from coming. Pray like your life and liberty depended on it because in this world it does.
