Posted on 11/12/2008 12:18:55 AM PST by Pacothecat

In a 2006 interview with Ben Smith of the NY Daily News, Rahm Emanuel, who will be Barack Obama's White House chief of staff, laughed at Smith's concerns about how far-reaching a mandatory civil-service plan would be.

If our children will be forced to do it why does it need to be as well funded as our military?

To suck money out of the military, to hollow it out, so it can never fight effectively. When a poorly trained, motivated military loses to the enemy, suggest handing it over to the UN. A new UN Army (which will be funded properly). No more American military.

Also the “Civilian Defense Force” will be closely vetted for loyalty to the New Leadership.

This is not all planned out 1), 2), 3), OBJECTIVE! They'll be playing it by ear, but the general objective is the U.S. will not be able to act unilaterally any more. Everything through the One World Government.

Interesting how that works, ain’t it....

Shakes head.

Our eldest is 23, an engineer, voted McCain. His statement about his co-workers/peers who voted Obama, “ I can’t believe how such smart people could be so stupid.”

Strange times are coming, but he will be alright because he has his eyes open. His peers.... not so much : \

They are in for the surprise of their lives.

This election WILL impact THEIR lives in ways they never imagined. Bad ways.

From the UK.

Having seen the video, I can only say this is deep trouble.

Even our GREAT LEADER PUTIN er...BROWN (He who must be obeyed) would balk at this.

Will Americans rollover and accept this? - I’m talking Americans not just Freepers (I know your views and resolve).

warm regards

The kids will be reintegrated into society in much the same way as the puppies came back to the barn in Orwell’s “Animal Farm.”

This is a clear end run around the Posse Comitatus Act. Furthermore, I doubt these kids will take that same oath at the military, have the same loyalties and priorities, or the same training in what constitutes an unlawful order.

Just keep talking about it, keep emailing it, keep it "out there." Remember, we have NO MEDIA to do it for us. Not only was my kid for Obama, but so were all the young people in my office. When I casually ask them what they plan to select for their unpaid mandatory civil service, their eyes glaze over and they look dumbfounded.

Then I just smile sweetly and ask what color shirt they're going to pick!

Not only met with him- but offered him a job in the new administration as head of technology or some such- a new position Barry is inventing- but Mr. Google turned him down.

Everyone should do a little checking to see if “voluntary” service is not ALREADY required of high school students who want a diploma in hand (which is necessary for college).

The poet wrote that the world would end not with a bang but a whimper. I firmly believe freedom in America will end not with a bang, but a whine.

Resisting service is as ridiculous as buying more guns and ammo; nothing more than keyboard bluster. You pay taxes under duress. You put your child in public school. You pay for car insurance whether you like it or not.

Your chains are already ON. If you don’t exercise your “freedom,” you don’t feel your chains. But try to move, and notice that if you behave like a free American, your employer will be pressured to pressure you; your school district can threaten you, take your child, and haul you into court; you can’t move very far without your car or your driver’s license. There are innumerable things the government can do to bankrupt you, ruin you, and destroy your family, effortlessly. Your neighbors will sympathize, privately, but that’s all they dare do.

And so, if your child is conscripted, your child will serve. If your guns are banned, your guns will be surrendered. Whatever 0bamanation demands, you will oblige. You don’t want to lose your house, car, income, pension, kids, friends, reputation...do you?

So come along quietly. After all, you have been coming along quietly all your life.

My kid goes to a private Christian school and if we could no longer afford it we would homeschool. So, I’m certain that we’ll be blessed with a dossier at some point in the near future.

Since my children are caucasians I am already aware of the fact that they will be discriminated against. I filed SF-171 for a governement position years ago. It was brought to my attention that I did not fill out the racial profile. I said that I thought that it was irrelevant. One of the folks told me NOT to bother filing the paperwork.

These are realities; I feel such legislation as this is doomed to failure, but if it were to pass, I have plans.

Well said and prophetic.

People who are going to stay in the country need to consider moving to more isolated places with harsher weather conditions and concentrate on survival and keeping a low profile. Keep income low. Withdraw assets and invest in self-sufficiency. Teach your children well. The resistance that will come is going to need support.

I think of it as caches of individualism. We will find each other.

so the soldiers could fight on the front lines.

The front lines will be right here in America. The squeamish left are calculating how to take guns away from Americans right now. Better try again Barack. You are about to start a civil war that you're not ready for. Think a gun is necessary? People kill each other with vehicles, knives, baseball bats. clubs, fists, etc. You think you can stop that? Standby, you, Barack are a bigger fool than the world can conceive!

You my FRiend, said more than a mouthful.

I think it is just occurring to masses of folks that Caucasians have fewer and lesser rights in this regime. When that becomes integrated as a fact of life for the majority, it will be interesting to see how many knuckle under because of inculcated white guilt and societal sanctions and how many resist or actively revolt.

The Obamanation agenda is becoming clearer and clearer in this area...

ARBEIT MACHT FREI!...government forced labor style.

Google it.

And through it all, we have to keep soldiering on and fighting his wholly un-American, marxistic agenda and minions.

IMHO, we simply must write our GOP senators and urge them to stand.

While standing up in any way we can ourselves over these next four years until we can turn this OBAMANATION out.


Many more designs here.

Amen, Sister Allegra.

It worries me for my wife and children, but I would plan to resist such tyranny if things became as freaky-deaky as some would suggest. I don’t think Americans will accept this.

If we are strong enough to oppose early on we won’t find ourselves taking-up positions in caves somewhere down the line. At that point it’s a bit late to start fighting for the Constitution.
