Election '08: Barack Obama calls it "Universal Voluntary Public Service." We call it a plan for national involuntary servitude. Kennedy asked us what we could do for our country. Obama has ways to make us volunteer.
Obama's Orwellian use of the words "universal" and "voluntary" together is an indicator of an antithesis to capitalist society deeply rooted in his socialist associations, education and training. Indeed, in 1996, when he ran for an Illinois state Senate seat, one of his first endorsements was from the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America.
On the surface, his plan looks just like typical bureaucratic program growth. He wants to expand Americorps to 250,000 slots and double the size of the Peace Corps. He'll create a Clean Energy Corps to plant trees and otherwise save the Earth. It's how Obama plans to fill those slots that's worrisome.
Announcing his plan July 2 at the University of Colorado, he said: "We will ask Americans to serve. We will create new opportunities to serve. And we will direct that service to our most pressing national challenges." He will make us an offer we can't refuse.

Obama Wants You
Wish in one hand, sh!t in the other Obama and see which one fills first.
Scary stuff.
IBD is doing great work exposing Obama’s marxist agenda!
Post-socialists set up neighborhood operations to enforce central dictates. PC stuff on steroids with a gun. Brainwashed kids are the logical starting point.
Oh Boy, Mao Style, Labor and Re-Education Camps.
Obama also will create his own military, stronger and better than what we have now. /S
This man must never become POTUS.
The haloed one talks of collective salvation. I don’t know what brand of Christianity he’s really had, but nowhere in my years of practicing, imperfectly, my Catholicism have I ever heard of collective salvation. My place in heaven or hell will be the result of, as we say in the Confetior,my thoughts, my words, what I have done and what I have failed to do. Nothing in my experience as a Christian has ever pointed in the direction of salvation being collective. It’s not Christianity but it might represent another way of life that begins with a C.
And he will not

I was specifically looking for the failure of the US currency and indebtedness of the US to foreign interests, which occurred roughly around the time of WW I and was the impetus for FDR’s socialist WPA, etc. programs, including Social Security. Those days are gone, but the history is there. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find, and sometimes takes you to the odd, wingnut-style site just to find some facts.
Pax Americana or European Socialist country. Either way, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
No thanks, kid. Try Cuba.
"make you volunteer" - precious!
Fantastic piece of modern art, it should be displayed at the Guggenheim Museum in New York./Just Asking - seoul62......
Remember Spock was born of different race parents? There was some episode where he was supposed to connect with his mother's side of himself by overcoming logic through answering questions (how do you feel?).
Obambi is the mirror opposite of that - all feelings, no logic.
Somehow I doubt they’d accept it...
He asks (actually tells, because you know it will really be forced) the students to "volunteer".
How does it go? “From each, their abilities; to each, their needs”?
If you go in costume or drag, they just might./Just Asking - seoul62........
