BTTT. I’ve been having similar thoughts, but post 853 sums it up well. The Left isn’t planning to have a Waco-style assault again, because it always places them in a bad light. They intend to pick us off one by one, with the armband-wearing smear machine cleaning up: “they had an arsenal”, “they were behaving suspiciously”, “there were allegations terrorist ties”, you know the drill.

I’m not sure what the answer is, but it bears talking about. Community members PUBLICLY assembling and announcing that Obama JBT’s had better make sure they’re ready to defend against the ENTIRE community? Community self-defense organizations?

Thoughts?

Spot on...IMO.

I did a mental head-count....of neighbors that I know that think like me. I came up with two.

Then I did a head-count of near-by friends and family that I know...that think like I do...And I came up with 9 or 10.

But we are totally NOT ready...for the type of headache that could be brought down on us...at 0darkthirty.

Download the PDF version so you can use the search function to look for key words in the legislation. The part where I found the stuff that sounds like some sort of indoctrination program is in Subtitle B—Amendments to Subtitle B (Learn and Serve America).

This is the biggest sham ever to be perpetrated on the American people. Do you notice how many times they refer to "disadvantaged youth?" Funny that's the same terminology the mainstream media like to use for all the muslims rioting in France, the Netherlands, etc.

If you go to the nationalservice.org website, you'll see how much of the so-called stimulus money they are planning to spend on this nonsense.

Their national goal for 2010 is to engage 75 million Americans in volunteering. That's about 1/4 of the entire population! Does that make sense to you? The US Census indicates that about 13% of the population have income below the poverty level, so why do we need so many people to help such a small minority? It's not about helping the needy, it's all about power and control.

But the sign over the gate says that ‘Work Makes you Free’. Now let the nice man with the whip tell you which line to get into.

***I don’t see the sign and I have something more powerful than a whip. FMCDH!

Thanks for the video link. I don’t know if I can stand to watch all that cr@p. The fact that they are naming it after Hatch and Kennedy probably tells me all I need to know.

So this is a fact finding mission to see (and we know how the result will be portrayed, we will all be in happy utopia from the “gift” of servitude) how well ALL Americans will be if they performed some sort of National Service?

Oh God.

Power and control that's it. Power and control is ONLY what motivates BHO. He will do anything to get it and keep it.

When I started reading this Bill yesterday, it felt like my heart was literally being pulled out of my chest. Seriously.

Yes. I understand it the same as you the 75 million by 2010 based on a population of 300 million that is 25% of US population. It is stunning.
Look what BHO is doing today. Same old same old mode-Lying, distracting, manipulating. He is talking about "tax cuts for Small Business or some other lie."

He wants to present a posture that he is really "business friendly" all the while knowing what he has already accomplished with the Porkulus/Spendulus/OmniBus trainwreck, and all the while knowing he has McCain in his pocket on H.R. 1388 to "push it through."

Have you seen any costs estimates listed on the CBO yet? I haven't seen and cost estimates except for one post on this thread but I wasn't sure of the source.

Sounds good to me.

You might also want to decide on a Keyword to use for threads you ping, such as “HR1388” or “Giveact”.

The people testifying in that hearing all sound like left wing socialists.

Shirley Sagawa is a Visiting Fellow at the Center for American Progress - a liberal "think tank."


The Center for American Progress is classified as a 501(c)(3) organization under U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The institute receives approximately $25 million per year in funding from a variety of sources, including individuals, foundations, and corporations. From 2003 to 2007, the center received about $15 million in grants from 58 foundations. Major individual donors include George Soros, Peter Lewis, Steve Bing, and Herb Sandler. The Center receives undisclosed sums from corporate donors.[1]

Some open government groups, such as the Sunlight Foundation and the Campaign Legal Center, criticize the Center's failure to disclose its contributors, particularly since it is so influential in appointments to the Obama administration.[2]

Funding

Center for American Progress is funded in part by individuals who are members of the Democracy Alliance.

In 2006, the Center for American Progress was given a three-year, $3,000,000 grant by George Soros' Open Society Institute to be used for "general support". [5]
