Just as we teach math and writing, arts and athletics, So when I'm President, I will set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year. This means that by the time you graduate college, you'll have done 17 weeks of service.

[tillacum]

I’ve heard, but don’t know if it true, that some schools use “public service” then add it to the students points for graduation.

by his ancestors you mean Kenyan Muslim slavers

I will set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This year it is 50 hours a year. In a few years of Democratic rule it will 150 hours.

Gotta get the comrades out on the collectives farms to plant and harvest.

. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Compulsory confinement of children (who have committed no crime) in prison-like buildings and mislabeling them as “schools” is a violation of the 13th Amendment.

In many states government is already using these students confined in these prison-like schools for “voluntary” service. Under Obama it will get worse.

Off to re~indoctination service for you sir.

That will be the New Reality under Obama.

Dont worry tcostell you will only suffer 4 yrs of McCain.

Obama is burnt toast.

[Global2010]

It is very common here in the USA too.

[Global2010]

Green Shirts to inforce the Go Green propaganda.

[reg45]

Yes. The East-African slave trade, which even continues today.

There were and are two kinds of black Africans.

1. Those who were sold into slavery by their brothers, most of whom are no longer in Africa.
2. Those who sold their brothers into slavery for a handful of trinkets and beads, most of whom remain in Africa.

Obama's ancestors are clearly from category 2.

[tcostell]

I hope you're right but so far McCain seems a lot like Fred Thompson in all the ways that disappointed me. The guy can't seem to get out of his own way.

To the media Obam seems like the messiah, but to me he seems like the "First Black Fuerher".

[Global2010]

Pompous Ass.

[tcostell]

Who me?! Sorry but I don't think you'll find too many Obama supporters here. But even so, even the US Constitution is specifically against him on this one.

Besides all I'm doing is repeating what the man said.

[Global2010]

No No Silly....Obama.

Not that your silly either that was a term of endearment.

Reflecting on the 4th and all those smores campside on our staycation. : )
