Why does the government have to create Laws to make people Volunteer?

Obviously, the whole concept of government making people volunteer is an oxymoron. "Volunteer," by definition, means no coercion and no penalty if the act is not performed.

Seems like we have a case of Orwell's fiction possibly becoming reality in the US.

Whoopi, a staunch supporter of Obama until now.

GOLDBERG: You remember that movie Network? If you are just fed up, at some point, just lean out your window and scream, “I’m mad as hell,” ‘cause that’s what’s happening to me. I’m losing my mind, because I don’t understand why — like they — one of the things that I saw recently, they have this whole thing about taxing “the wealthy.” Okay. Now, I don’t mind that. I don’t mind paying a little more tax ‘cause I make a good living.

GOLDBERG: But I don’t want to get it coming and going. I don’t want to get the federal raised and then the state raised and then the phone tax raised and then the television tax raised —

I agree with you on that, but they better be careful because there is no need for a constitution, there isn’t much need for a SCOTUS.

On July 2, 2008, Barack Obama announced: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." [Emphasis added.]

I watched this 20 second video last Summer before the Election. Right? It was chilling. No one in the Media picked up on it. No one asked him one question. COWARDS!!! All the Republicans need to do is speak directly to the Public and expose Obama for who he is. The Republicans and All media are missing a huge opportunity here.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Of course there are other places. Think Caribbean.

I loooove the Caribbean...but there is no place to go with the opportunities that are here (well so far). The places you mention would be great if you are already financially secure.

But this is our country and I don't want to have to leave because commies have taken over let alone give it to them.

‘I agree with you on that, but they better be careful because there is no need for a constitution, there isn’t much need for a SCOTUS.”

I think you’re right but then we don’t need that if we have a Glorious Infallible Leader.

Obviously, the whole concept of government making people volunteer is an oxymoron. "Volunteer," by definition, means no coercion and no penalty if the act is not performed.

I said it earlier on this thread, or possibly a thread on the same subject, but worth repeating as I know many of you do and feel the same:

My voluntary service to others is through the church of my God. I love my fellow man, and will give my service to him, but through my love of God. I did my service to my country through the Corps, and swore my allegiance to The Constitution, during times of voluntary service.

I did this for love of God, love of Country and love of Family. Unless times of war, and only if all other means have been exhausted, no man or woman shall be forced to serve in any manner they choose not to - this is called SLAVERY and must be resisted and put down at all cost.

[driftdiver]

Not implying you said anything wrong, this Patton quote just begged to be posted. I especially like the second sentence.

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”
- General George S. Patton, Jr

[autumnraine]

You must be under the impression that all of the country wanted to seperate from England. They didn’t.

[driftdiver]

I’ve read that only about 30% supported the revolution. Thats partly why the founding fathers manufactured English atrocities.

Obama said he would tax coal companies until they went bankrupt but he is doing the oil companies first. Obama has taken people livelihoods and handed it over to others for his agenda. It will happen to everyone. That is the PLAN.
_______________
It was always his plan and his manbeast wife's plan. Everything they have ever said or written clearly spells it out. MO shouted that everyone is going to have to give up some of their pie so that everyone else can have a little more. I say to her, YOU FIRST B*TCH.

[Las Vegas Ron]

You're really on a roll tonight.

Bless you and thank you for your service!

We won't be paid, but we will serve. C7>>>>>>>> Funny, patriots never have to be paid to fight for freedom LVR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes, which is the subtle point I was trying to make. The opposition will be paid by the billions of dollars that Obama has in his stimulus bill for them, and subsequent allotments, as well as cheap student lpoans and grants for liberal lefty style universities and colleges.

We will be paid by the wages of patriotism, freedom. That is a currency urecognized by the opposition.

The fact that we will not be paid with money or grants defines the motivation that is bound to prevail, as it always has in the history of our nation.

The purpose of the " Give Law" is to destroy the conservative culture of America, by redefining community values , implimented and enforced by volunteers of the"Give Law."Individual initiative will become community initiative. Profit making and our free economy will be defined as greed, and resources will have to be shared, not hoarded for individual enrichment.

Every fascist movement in history had to destroy the conservatve culture of the nation in which it gained absolute power. This is the process in which Obama is now fully engaged in planning.

And his plenipotentiary instruments will be paid with OUR tax dollars.

It makes one's blood run cold.

"If Republicans do not stand up against this, em mass, then we are truly lost."

I agree. The question is...have they read this Bill? There are NO Republicans on the Bill as Co-Sponsors.

Now with Pelosi's new rules will they get an opportunity to look at the fine print? Will there be any debate. Think about what was hanging in the balance with the Porkulus/Spendulus Bill, almost 1 Trillion dollars in today's money. Congress never read it before voting. Disaster.

We have to shout at them I guess. We still have our voices.

[BlackElk]

Please add me.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I’ve read that only about 30% supported the revolution.

And it was about the same for the Civil war.

I suspect it will be about right for CWII too.

[autumnraine]

I’m with you.
