The Obama Youth

I read a disturbing story that showed advancement of the "well funded" civilian security force that candidate Barak Obama promised, and President Obama appears to deliver. The bill is passing under the guise of "volunteer" work, but would be mandatory. The bill stipulates that middle-school children would be required 50 hours per year, high schoolers 100 hours per year, and so on through college. The program included uniforms that the children will wear. I ask, why not ad a spiffy arm band with, perhaps the Obama emblem for good measure. This program will also enlist adults on up to seniors. They will go to camps, which are re-named campuses in order to be trained, or re-educated as the case may be.

This bill has been touted as some form of commemoration of 9/11, a day of volunteer work to commemorate the tragedy of that day.

Someone needs to remind Barak Obama and the Socialists, I mean Democrats, that this is America, the land of the FREE. We do not serve our State. The government is of the people, by the people and for the people. In other words, the government WORKS FOR US.

Recently, we've seen the manufactured outrage at bonuses for executives of AIG. How terrible that executives who gave up salaries took some contractual bonuses. How dare they? This surprise coming from folks who embezzle and cheat on a daily basis. Then, Democrats have the bold-facedness to come out and tell us what they'd really like to do to all of us someday, tax us individually as punishment for making a paycheck. Who are these goons we have allegedly "representing" us? Since when does Congress have the right to indict, prosecute and penalize private industry or citizens? And most people, like zombies, responded to the outrage like they were reading from a teleprompter (we know of at least one person who actually WAS doing that).

Where does this end? It ends with our country being policed from within by radicals subscribing to a charismatic leader and following along, lock-step, controlled by mindblock ideology. We'll have money that is worth more in our fireplace to heat us (because we won't be able to afford energy with the Cap and Steal policy) and we'll have our children indoctrinated in Education Centers and incentivized to be informants on anyone who might dissent from Obama's thug regime.

Today Parade Magazine had the Top Ten Dictators listed. Interestingly, many of them have programs identical to what Obama proposes. I suppose, allowing a few years, Parade might be able to add Barak Obama to the list.

There are at least (I hope!) 150-175 million of us that still believe in the freedoms our Founding Fathers handed down to us. I'd like to see them disarm that many people. Most military veterans, like myself, fall into the patriot group, as do current servicemembers and their families. What are they going to do, transport the Chinese Communist People's Liberation Army over to North America to go door-to-door? That ACORN-based Civilian National Defense Force will get their butts handed to them by the people. What say you?

Exactly. These morons are STATISTS. It can not be said enough!

[ThreePuttinDude]

Bump for later outrage.

Good luck with that one Obama... most kids won't listen to their parents... what makes you think you can get them to go to camps and wear uniforms? Are you going to criminalize them or their parents if they don't go?

Cary’s eyebrows are disturbing. And no, I’m not stuk in Irak.

[JSDude1]

Yes I agree Vet, however do you have the courage to fire on “Children” they might guns to and let loose to send after you to confiscate your guns (even if these children were indocrinated idiots)?? I know I would have reservations..

[To Hell With Poverty]

The only hope I have in this is that kids’ natural chafing at being told what to do will lead to a massive rebellion down the road and an eventual lurch right once they’re old enough to vote.

[To Hell With Poverty]

Actually I do expect the People's Liberation Army over here if things get really shaky.

Good post potlatch

As a mother of 3, they would have to step over my dead body before they got near my kids. And I am not joking.
