Promoting Statism in the Name of Service
http://www.redstate.com ^ | March 25, 2009 | Hogan

With all the focus and attention on the TARP, the so-called “stimulus” bill, the nationalization of huge chunks of our economy and the various issues economic – lost in the weeds have been a host of destructive “programs” being developed and passed by the Obama-Democrat machine.

Right now on the floor of the United States Senate is one of the most disturbing pieces of legislation I have seen in a long time. HR 1388, the “Serve America Act” is cloaked in feel-good rhetoric and supposedly noble goals, but it is nothing more than another Washington power-grab – this time targeted at non-profits and education – and ultimately at indoctrinating a whole new generation of Obamanistas into forsaking individual liberty and free will for the Statist worldview.

The bill is far too onerous to detail here – and given Republican support for it, it would seem somewhat futile. But, the legislation is far too destructive not to spend some time on, and one of the few remaining patriots in Washington – Jim DeMint (R-SC) – gave an excellent speech yesterday explaining the bill’s misguided approach and his opposition.

How ironic that a 1/2 black man will reestablish slavery.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what Obama and his minions (and that includes the ignorant, whoring so-called Republicans who blindly voted for this — they’ll pay for their stupidity), it only matters what the people want and when the people find out about this, the outrage will be palpable.

No family (unless they are rabid Obama supporters) is going to have their family life disrupted by this so-called “volunteerism”. If it goes to the U.S. Supreme Court, and they give their okay on it, it will be roundly ignored by the general populace, thus lessening the Supreme Court’s influence on every sphere of family life. It’s unconstitutional, and if they can’t see that, there is no reason to abide by any ruling they make.

Obama better be careful what he wishes for.

Obama needs “brownshirts” who will be loyal to him. He can’t count on the military to follow illegal orders, because most of them are loyal to America.

Ah yes, the Brownshirt Bill.

Cloaked in the Newspeak language of “national service” and “neopatriotism”, this civic poison program sets the foundation for re-education campuses (note the word CAMP is avoided) creating a new leftist youth brigade and compelling citizens to Get their Minds Right. You can bet they will use race as a weapon against “subversives” and “malcontents” like us here at FR.

This is truly scary, but I wonder what will happen when they attempt to round up the bad apples who own scoped deer rifles. When the brownshirts knock, what will they encounter?

"Fascism is a radical, authoritarian nationalist ideology that aims to create a single-party state with a government led by a dictator who seeks national unity and development by requiring individuals to subordinate self-interest to the collective interest of the nation or race."

Sound familiar?
