Freepers Help Me! Is the Draft Possible?
September 17,2004 | Wonderama

Posted on 09/17/2004 6:40:43 PM PDT by Wonderama

Hi fellow Freepers. I just got this e-mail from one of my misguided Liberal Dem friends. I don't know how to answer this, because, I don't know if it's true. Does anyone out there have some info on this? Is it a Democratic dirty trick, playing on the fears of mothers everywhere? I would love to reply to my friend with some concrete information. I know Israel has a mandatory draft, and it's a good thing, but I'm not sure how well it would go over here in USA.

Your help my lovable pj bloggers, is desperatly needed.

You hit the nail on the head.

This is not a serious legislative proposal. It's a boogyman.

A draft will be required if john f kerry is elected. If Kerry loses, Osama will be killed or captured and peace will return to Iraq.

And after you read the posts, and understand which party is sponsoring the draft legislation, send your dear liberal friend this message:

Liberals and Democrats eat s..t sandwiches.

It's a campaign ploy by the Democrats.

They're spreading stories about the Bush administration attempting to reinstate the draft in an attempt to shore us support from toung people and blacks.

Rumsfeld, among others in the administration, has said that there is no thought of bringing back the draft — none!

The bills have not moved from committee in their originating house in the two years since they were introduced. They are going nowhere.

You are on the money. A Demoncrat, Hoolings is sponsor of Senate bill. The ubiquitious Demoncrat Rangel is sponsor of House bill. Both pieces of legislation are as dead as liberal ethics and patriotism.

The administration is quietly trying to get these bills passed now

Here's where you can point out the lie.

Ask them why would a DemocRAT like Charlie Rangel (one of the bill's sponsors, which are all DemocRATs) sponsor a bill that a Republican administration wants passed "quietly"???? Do they think he just wants to "help" George Bush?

That's exactly my point.

Everyone who sponsored that bill is a far left Democrat.

Sure, a draft is possible. If you elect Liberals.

The Liberals haven't been able to convince the American people that a voluntary Army being sent to perform the duties it was trained and paid to do is wrong. They want a draft so unwilling participants poorly trained will be killed enmasse so the public will express outrage as in Vietnam and we lose the war.

They want the death of our children to win back their power.

Standard answer #4F:

Yes there are draft proposals, almost all Democrat.

They have NOTHING to do with military manpower requirements.

As intended-to-fail proposals, they are straw men set up
so that Kerry+Edwards can promise to oppose them.

As serious proposals, they have everything to do with
Universal National Service - stealing two years from
every life, then 3, then 4, and why stop there ...

And National Service has nothing to do with service.
It has everything to do with indoctrination of the slaves.

Everybody, and I mean everybody, get out and vote. Take nothing for granted, because you know these weasels are going to cheat. It's a given. They're faced with political extinction, and they're backs are to the wall. If it's a blowout, it reduces their chances of cheating.

Be careful out there as we get closer to the election and the gap widens further in the polls. If these maniacs will tear up a little three-year-old girl's sign, they will get violent with the rest of us.

This is a scare tactic.

The selective service draft was elimnated over 20 years ago if it were being reistated or even considered it would be all over the main stream media. This is for a civil service draft. whom ever the leftist nitwit that sent this did not even read the bill.

It is asking for Civil service draft it is introduce and supported by Charles Rangel on of the very left's best.
Basicilly what is stating is they would like to require two years mandatory service in federal,state, or local orginization that provides a civil service to the us or abroad such as the peace corps or something like that this is not a military draft far from it. It does have a provison for a military draft is nesecarry, but since the all voulenteer military is working well and they are getting new recruits and meeting there qoutas it is unlikely that it would ever be used.

There other way that I look at it is, If you appricate the freedoms that this country has afforded you, you owe at least two years of you life in service to you country. If they are unwilling to pay that price for freedom perhaps they should be looking elsewhere to live.

Lawdy, the rumor mill is in Hyperdrive today.

Maybe I should start one of those Botswana things and ask everyone to open their bank accounts to me.

I posted on this some time ago. Charles Rangel is the sponsor of the Bill. It is still alive and well and is at the DOD for "review".

All of the 14 sponsors of the Bill are liberal Democrats. You will notice not ONE REPUBLICAN! Of the 14 the majority serve on the Black Caucus and two are liberal DEMS from the State of California.

If Kerry is elected you can bet that the Draft will be instituted.

IMHO, Rangle and the sponsors will call in their chit for the black vote. Also, with Kerry as Commander in Chief I believe we will see our men and women and service be totally devastated. The only way the USA will be able to have an Military Force will be by instituting the Draft!

Let your liberal friends and young college kids chew on this bit of reality!

Sponsored by "Charlie Wrangle" to try and undermine support for the war and boost Kerry's chances. And now apparently being sent out by DU Koolaid drinkers to take advantage of their memogate success.
