The tax-funded Chicago organization cited as a probable model for programs to integrate youth into the social and political world under an Obama tenure in the White House is the epitome of "Big Brother" that shovels impressionable youth through a course of brainwashing, according to critics.
The organization is called Public Allies and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of directors in 1992. He later resigned and his wife became executive director of the group.
According to an editorial in Investor's Business Daily, Obama plans to use the non-profit, which is funded partly by the federal government and is featured on Obama's campaign website, as the model for a national service corps, called the "Universal Voluntary Public Service."
WND reported earlier when Obama asserted in a Colorado Springs speech that the U.S. needs a "civilian national security force" that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force.
In the July 2 speech in Colorado Springs, Obama insisted the U.S. "cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set."
He continued, "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
"Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas," said IBD. "They plan to herd American youth into government-funded re-education camps where they'll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of 'social change.'"
The organization itself doesn't seem that alarming. It describes itself as serving communities "while developing better leaders for tomorrow." Young adults are placed in "community leadership" posts with various agencies and given weekly "training." They get $1,800 plus health and child care.

Well... he did promise change...
“Universal Voluntary Public Service.”
Even the Department of Redundancy Department is confused by this oxy-moron.
Obviously, nobody would want to tangle with the "Universal Involuntary Public Service".
You stole my post. But thanks for expressing the same idea. I was afraid I was getting delusional.
By the way, Obama’s planned quasi-military organization, which will be as “powerful and well funded as our traditional armed forces”, but whose main loyalty will be to a political party, remind me more of the SS than the Hitler youth.
“Scary Stuff” Ping!
So. It's both universal and voluntary? Is there any reason to even attempt to make sense out of something like this?
Can you say Gestapo?
