WHILE YOU WERE BEING DISTRACTED BY THE AIG SHAM OUTRAGE AND YOUR OWN CLASS ENVY…. the Obamessiah administration continues on with its plans behind the scenes.
As we mentioned earlier in the week, The Obamessiah is pushing to community organize all of us into his own league of Socialist Brownshirts.
The House passed the “Give Act” on Wednesday. How many GOP members caved and stabbed us in the back this time, you must be asking? 70. Full list of turncoats below the fold. Only one Democrat voted against it - Robert Berry of Arkansas. Kudos to him. The rest of the Dim-O-Cracks probably already have their uniforms.
What about Tennessee?
We should give credit where credit is due for Duncan and Wamp, who dropped the ball in a big way on the AIG vote the other day. These boys need to just ask Marsha what to do on all future votes and they may be able to pull their heads out of their rectums.
The reason so many of these GOP cowards crossed the fence is because they don’t want to be seen as voting against something as altruistic as the “GIVE” act. What does GIVE stand for? Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education. It re-authorizes two previous acts, but sets the table for The Obamessiah’s “National Civilian Security Force”.
The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a plan to set up a new “volunteer corps” and consider whether “a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people” should be developed.
The legislation also refers to “uniforms” that would be worn by the “volunteers” and the “need” for a “public service academy, a 4-year institution” to “focus on training” future “public sector leaders.” The training, apparently, would occur at “campuses.”
It not only reauthorizes the programs, but also includes “new programs and studies” and is expected to be funded with an allocation of $6 billion over the next five years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Many, however, are raising concerns that the program, which is intended to include 250,000 “volunteers,” is the beginning of what President Obama called his “National Civilian Security Force” in a a speech last year in which he urged creating an organization as big and well-funded as the U.S. military. He has declined since then to elaborate.
Thank goodness nothing like this has happened before in human history or I might become concerned. When you’re spending trillions, who is going to notice 6 billion to fund his mandatory street troops? It’s not enough that your kids are brainwashed by the country’s failing public schools, but now they need to be sent to re-education camps so they will know how to identify and report anything that might be considered hate speech or dangerous or subversive literature, like the U.S. Constitution.
The new bill specifically references the possibilities “if all individuals in the United States were expected to perform national service or were required to perform a certain amount of national service.”
Such new requirements perhaps, the legislation notes, “would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.”
Sounds sweet doesn’t it? Until you remember who is running the show - Ayers, Omarosa and the Obamessiah himself.
According to a report by Canada Free Press, “‘volunteerism’ that kept America running since the days of its founding” would be “wiped out with the stroke of a pen.”
“It becomes forced labor and like the practice of another era, presses American citizens of all ages and creeds, unknowingly into military service,” the commentary said.
“The Give Act puts the finishing touches to Public Allies New Leadership for New Times, modeled after Saul Alinsky’s ‘Peoples Organizations’ and operating under Michelle Obama,” the commentary said.
“Michelle was also a pioneer in the social entrepreneur movement – leaders who create new approaches and organize to provide new solutions to social problems. Like most things Saul Alinsky, H.R. 1388 sounds noble in stating why wide-sweeping change is necessary,” the commentary said.
“H.R. 1388 goes straight to the heart of volunteerism in America, impacting everything from the lemonade stands of neighborhood children, to the residents of senior citizens homes. … The Give Act puts tow-headed school children and silver-haired seniors in the official uniform of the new State, and encompasses every walk of life in main-street America,” the commentary said. “Whether you are young or old, or firmly believe that volunteering means you are offering your time to the good of community work, you will be pressed into Obama’s National Civilian Community Corps.”
Groups of such “volunteers,” would, under the legislation, 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.”
What could possibly go wrong? Goldstein notes that this is a good time for an OUTLAW-style call to action. I concur.
And such new requirements perhaps would weaken the social fabric by pitting whatever willing volunteers there happen to be to this fascism-lite against those of us who will gladly provide the obstacles to their success.
I’d rather the trains run a bit late and the overpasses shout graffiti than live in a country where our kids are put in uniforms and, in exchange for an education and a leg up, are forced to do the bidding of the state to whom we supposedly grant power.
This is, I believe, all a big pipe dream on the part of the progressives and quasi-socialists who are quickly losing the reins on government, frightenening as even a thought on many levels, sure, but destined to fail spectacularly.
Because the one thing freedom-loving people have on their side these days is the inescapable fact that politicians now so consistently back down in the face of public outrage that the civil disobedience that will arise from this attempt to turn our children into lifelong “progressives” and servants to the state (and that’s what this is: the government will be paying those that increase the power of government, creating a client state) will be met with such pushback that the program is sure to be “re-imagined” back into mostly innocuous AmericaCorp-type territory.
Perhaps now would be a good time to start a pledge movement. This can be the first of our OUTLAW initiatives — setting up an online petition that states in no uncertain terms that we will not allow our children to be taken by the state to create a progressive paradise under the rubric of forced “diversity” and “duty” to the government.
WE are the government. WE give power to IT, not the other way round.
Volunteerism is an American tradition, driven largely by faith groups and the spirit of helping your neighbors when and how you can. Mandatory volunteerism handed down by the Federal Government is indentured servitude to a Fascist State, and as Goldstein so aptly put it, “the State can go fuck itself.”
This has not passed the Senate yet, so contact your Senators, even though they will probably do the same thing Lamar Alexander does and send you a letter lying through their teeth while doing the opposite of what you request.
Here are some Obama Youth memories, to remind you just how hideous such a thing could become if allowed to take wing.

I really don't think the country can afford this crap right now!
What were these Republicans thinking?
Gun up. At least buy a semi-auto .22 w magazine capability. When the time comes, you can upgrade during the revolution.
So what is the penalty if one refuses to “volunteer” for his mandatory service?
Obama’s new SS! Hope they know how to goosestep properly.
There is no reason in the world why even one Republican voted for this atrocity.
I could understand RINOs voting for it, but a lot of supposed conservatives did too.
I think we need to get rid of a LOT of Republicans in the next couple of election cycles. GET RID OF ALL OF THEM. We need fresh blood.
“There is no reason in the world why even one Republican voted for this atrocity.”
They were probably either bribed, threatened, or the Dems slipped something in their coffee.....
He will have fertile recruiting grounds in ACORN.
“This guy is moving a lot faster than Hitler or Mao ever did!”
It’s getting downright depressing... We got a huge job ahead of us - not only do we have to defeat the democrats, but a good chunk of the republicans as well!
Sorry, but I can’t understand a RINO voting for it. But then who’s “in charge” to stop them?
Do you know who the conservatives are that voted for it?
The only name that I recognized was Mary Bono and is she really a conservative?
I wish I could bang some heads together in that group....
Breeding grounds for snitches. Few people get reported for anti Zero activities, get sent to reeducation camps, rest will behave as ordered.
Heil 0!
>When the time comes, you can upgrade during the revolution.
THAT is very good advice.
There's a real disappointment.
250,000 KOMSOMOLETSI
WAKE UP AMERICA.
Gerlach, Kirk, Ros-Lehtinen, Smith, LaTourette, and Castle are all part of the liberal Main Street “republican” group. Peter King, Mike Rogers and the Diaz-Balart brothers are suspect too.
Thank you. What scum they are.
