[pissant]

Not to mention that the scumbuckets at ACORN have been given billions in tax payer $$. This could get real ugly. Or should I say uglier.

[oldbill]

Messiah? I think “Fuehrer” would be better.

Let’s design the uniforms for the Obamajugend.

[longfellow]

What’s black and white and red all over.......OBAMA!

[Melchior]

Can someone provide the vote talley? I believe it urgent to know the Republians who voted for this open invitation to fascism.

[sten]

"just as strong, just as well funded as our military"

ACORN is going to have tanks, jets, bombers and infantry units?! wtf??

AND they are going to draft people into it?
AND they are going to have bases? (hell, the military has been losing its bases since clinton took office)

then this little gem:

the bill itself was mainly billed as federal support for establishing the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on America as "a National Day of Service and Remembrance."

all i have to say is... from which side of 9-11? pre-0bama America or 0bama's Amerikan al quaeda?

We meed a domestic security force "just as strong, just as well funded as our military", but just not controlled by the government.

Every citizen who is able (legally and otherwise) should be well armed and well trained.

If those commie b&(^*@#s would quit destroying our economy, we would be funded plenty enough.

"Not to mention that the scumbuckets at ACORN have been given billions in tax payer $$. This could get real ugly. Or should I say uglier."

You could say "uglier," I suppose. I could say "archery, and blades at night." Another might say "take at least one of the bastards with you." There's much to be said...but what to do?

[TheZMan]

While we’re on the subject, has anyone heard word of his pledge collectors? Thought they were supposed to be out today collecting Obama loyalty signatures.

[NRA2BFree]

I wish that man would go see his mother. LOL

[TLI]

Those groups of volunteers would according to the bill, be "grouped together as appropriate in campuses for operational, support, and boarding purposes. The Corps campus for a unit shall be in a facility or central location established as the operational headquarters and boarding place for the unit. … There shall be a superintendent for each camp."

Looks like Rahm-bo is gonna get his S.A.

[Bringbackthedraft]

What next? Get the red states to form their own civilian militia? Maybe they can call it the Red Front? Well if anything, this new deal will encourage more weapon buying. I think its over reacting. The way things are going I would worry more about our southern border than anything going on domestically. Its starting to warm up down there, Chevez will be producing AK 47’s soon and guess where they’ll be going. Los Yanquis will be the #1 target.

[Logical me]

Anyone doubt communism is here now?

SUBTITLE E: NATIONAL CIVILIAN COMMUNITY CORPS (NCCC)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/?&dbname=cp111&sid=cp111FreKS&refer=&r_n=hr037.111&item=&sel=TOC_418900&;

Program activities and participants

The National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) is the only national service program operated solely by the Corporation. The NCCC is a residential program with multiple campuses across the United States with a focus on rapid response to emergencies and disasters within the region near the campus. H.R. 1388 adds a new focus on infrastructure improvement, environmental stewardship and conservation, energy conservation, and urban and rural development. The Committee believes that when the corps is not deployed for emergencies or disasters, the NCCC program can play an important role in addressing these national needs.

H.R. 1388 includes a provision that requires NCCC to set a goal of 50 percent participation by disadvantaged youth (as defined in the bill) in the program by 2011. Programs such as the NCCC provide youth with opportunities to learn marketable skills for employment, to further their education, and to gain self-confidence and increased empowerment in a structured, safe environment. The Committee acknowledges that the NCCC programs will need assistance in recruiting disadvantaged youth to participate and encourages the Corporation and State Commissions to work jointly in the recruitment of disadvantaged youth. Furthermore, it is not expected that every campus will be able to recruit a large percentage of disadvantaged youth from neighboring communities and other States. However, given the fact that the NCCC is a residential program, this should not negatively affect the program, but rather expand the diversity of the pool of participants and enrich the service experience for each NCCC member.

There isn’t going to be a “civilian security force”. Not if I have anything to say about it.

[SumProVita]

He wants to spend $6 billion on this?

Hmmmmmm....looks like the time to mount a MAJOR tax revolt is getting closer.

[Who is John Galt?]

In his book, The Bill of Rights: Creation and Reconstruction, Akhil Reed Amar argues persuasively that the national military draft is unconstitutional, because it essentially negates the constitutional clauses relating to the State militias. The same arguments might apply to other types of mandatory federal service...

[OafOfOffice]

Not only is obama, michelle and rahmbo planning on military boot camps for our teens and older, (that will go to war if more military is needed), he is going to hand over the funds to his democrat alliances and others who paid for his election. Soros says America is fascist. In truth Soros is fascist and has plans to see Americas demise. Put the funding in his hands and control(?) will be a death sentence to all of us. Remember Soros collected property and wealth from the Jews as they were led to camps. He has no guilt he did that either.

The Democrat Party platform’s hidden Soros Slush Fund

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/20/the-democrat-party-platforms-hidden-soros-slush-fund/

“Social Investment Fund Network.” The program would provide federal money to “social entrepreneurs and leading nonprofit organizations [that] are assisting schools, lifting families out of poverty, filling health care gaps, and inspiring others to lead change in their own communities.” The Democrat Party promises to “support these results-oriented innovators” by creating an office to “coordinate government and nonprofit efforts” and then showering “a series of grants” on the chosen groups “to replicate these programs nationwide.”

This George Soros Slush Fund would be political payback in spades. Obama owes much of his Chicago political success to financial support from radical, left-wing billionaire and leading “social entrepreneur” Soros.

In concert with his mandatory volunteerism pitch and $6 billion anti-poverty plan, Obama called for the creation of a “Social Entrepreneurship Agency” to dispense the funds in unspecified amounts.

Even more troubling is how the Democrat Party/Obama plan would siphon away untold millions or billions of public tax dollars into the Soros empire without taxpayer recourse. Obama promises “accountability” measures to ensure the money is spent wisely.

Soros has donated some $5 billion of his fortune to left-wing non-profit groups through the Open Society Institute — which is committed to Soros’s militant ideology of toppling the “fascist” tyranny of the United States, which he says must undergo “de-Nazification” in favor of “justice.” The mob at Obama-endorsing MoveOn, purveyors of the “General Betray Us” smear against Commanding General, MNF-I, David Petraeus, is the most notorious Soros-backed political arm.

Point in case: ACORN. As I’ve reported before, Obama’s old friends at the Chicago-based non-profit now take in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers.

Where are fiscal conservatives on this far-Left boondoggle? Well, if you’re wondering why the McCain campaign doesn’t raise hell over this proposed left-wing non-profit/government pipeline, it’s because McCain himself is a Soros beneficiary. His “Reform Institute, ” a tax-exempt, supposedly independent 501(c)(3) group focused on campaign finance reform, was funded with Soros-funded Open Society Institute and Tides Foundation.

The GIVE Act’ H.R.1388 — “To reauthorize and reform the national service laws” — was introduced March 9 by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (N.Y.) with 12 co-sponsors (Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Del. Gregorio Sablan (I-MP), Rep. Phil Hare (D-Ill.), Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.), Rep. Robert Andrews (D-N.J.), Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Mich.), Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Penn.), Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.), Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (D-Texas), Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) and Rep. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii)).

It should come as no surprise to RBO readers that four of the original co-sponsors (33%) — Grijalva, Hare, Hirono, and Miller — are current members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus; Grijalva is CPC co-chair.

There are 25 co-sponsors, eight more of which are also CPC members: Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Penn.); Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.); Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), CPC vice chair; Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.); Rep. Donald Payne (D-N.J.); Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.); Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.); and Rep. Lynne Woolsey (D-Calif.), CPC co-chair.

You can almost expect more of the same 2002 crowd from the Congressional Progressive Caucus to sign on: Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.); Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.); Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.); Rep. Rosa DaLauro (D-Conn.) — or others who have taken the place of former CPC members. http://cpc.grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?ContentID=166&ParentID=0&SectionID=4&SectionTree=4&lnk=b&ItemID=164
