One blogging group in particular is the PUMAs.
What would happen if a power-hungry President were to play tricks with the draft? Could he use the draft as an excuse to:
1. Use draftees for slave labor [in the name of 'civil service']?
2. Put adults from age 18 to 41 into reeducation camps?
These are the kinds of things that PUMAs and other bloggers fear.
What first fueled this concern was Michelle Obama in a California speech:
"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zone . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual - uninvolved, uninformed."

This is going to be our new First Lady? She's eager for her husband to force us to work [his way] and to be informed [his way]. It certainly sounds like slave labor and reeducation. What, pray tell, did her husband tell her? What other mechanism would a president Obama have than the draft itself? It sounds far fetched, but since Obama is hiding the details, what are we left to conjecture?
The clincher was Joe Biden's ominous warning:
1. A manufactured crisis within six months
2. Solutions that will cause Obama's poll ratings to plummet.
"Watch, were gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.
Here's a little more of what Biden said:
There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I dont know about that decision, Biden continued. Because if you think the decision is sound when theyre made, which I believe you will when theyre made, theyre not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if theyre popular, theyre probably not sound.
That was the last straw for some PUMAs. They smell a rat. I can't blame them. Guess who said this?
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis..." -- David Rockefeller.
PUMAs are beginning to to take notice of a Obama comment on military service at Columbia: If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some. They also noticed that Obama wants females included in the draft.
Then there was this: "I will call on a new generation of Americans to join our military.... I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots, and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their efforts connected to a common purpose."
Here is a list of blogs trying to make sense of it all:

They fear Obama having the power of the draft. Should we?
Another website has put a lot of thought in this concern: http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/08/1-service.htm
And guess what name pops up? Bill Ayers. Ayers shifted from terrorism to radical indoctrination of youth through education. [That's professor material in many of today's universities.]
Bill Ayers has been practicing how to radicalize students for a long time now. It's clearly a passion of his.
Maybe these dots don't connect, but more people all the time are beginning to think they do.
A new book by David Horowitz and Richard Poe has enraged the Left and alarmed many conservatives. It exposes the machinations of a radical clique working at the highest levels of government and finance to undermine American power. That book is The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party. It hit the New York Times bestseller list in its first week in print.
You’d have to ask Mrs. BO. If she thinks that people are going to take this, she’s crazy.
If you think that she didn’t mean what she said, you’re crazier than she is. Her comments, along with Biden’s, ought to tell you something.
This is not some connect the obscure dots conspiracy theory. They’re coming right out and telling their plans for us.
Don’t be an idiot and ignore them.
[Weathermen member] Diana [Oughton] told him she still believed the only course open to American radicals was the building of a "Red Army" in the United States which would be part of the international army fighting for a world-wide revolution.
Schoolchildren of Da Nang
"celebrate" the anniversary of the fail of Saigon
It’s important to inform people. If BO is elected and then implements the Ayers Draft, we don’t want the populace to be suckered into believing it’s for the Cause of some crisis [manufactured or otherwise].
Thanks for the ping. I, actually, have been concerned about this plan of Obama’s and have even wondered how far we would go to keep our kids from any indoctrination camp, or whatever euphemism Barky comes up with. I’ve become acquainted with a HSing mom in Sweden, where they have to get government permission in order to HS. I have no doubt that Barky would love to see an end to homeschooling. John Dewey believed that a high level of literacy was a hindrance to socialism. HSers not only are spared the liberal indoctrination of public schools, but they are also taught to think for themselves and end up, generally, highly educated.
As an amateur scholar of WWII, I keep thinking of how much power FDR had, and his biartizan support. We were, during that war, a communist state. If Obama has his own 9-11, I believe he will attempt the Ayers Draft.
The truth is with Socialists having absolute power anything is possible,they could set the country back so far in 4 years it would take 24 to recover. Lots at stake in the next few days.
Thank you for the post. Looks like it’s piecing together. FRegards ....
“Lots at stake in the next few days.”
You are so right, FRiend.
Thanks for the ping Arthur,great thread.
The socialist state started with FDR. He was the first socialist American president. Some have come close, but he was the first. Obama will be the first true Marxist president.
I think you’re being naive.
“You will be required to work...” doesn’t translate into volunteerism.
bttt
I'm 55, too old to be "volunteered". That makes me a 'useless eater', with all that implies.
But I thought you had great skills, like nunchuku skills?
What exactly do you think he meant when he said 'we're going to make you work'?
Red.
Seriously.
Hillary! declared open season on homeschooling should she win and I hate to say it, but I think 0 may be even more radical than she.
