Is this the change you really voted for? President Obama has only been in office for two months. Now we have HR 1388. The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) with 37 others. The Bill was introduced to the floor of the House of Representatives where both Republicans and Democrats voted 321-105 in favor. Next it goes to the Senate for a vote and then on to President Obama.
This bill’s title is called “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education” (GIVE). It forms what some are calling “Obama’s Youth Brigade.” Obama’s plan is require anyone receiving school loans and others to serve at least three months as part of the brigade. His goal is one million youth! This has serious Nazi Germany overtones to it.

The wording does not say you can’t attend a church service, period.

It does appear though, that anyone but a secularist is not to be tolerated.
It is certainly not friendly towards anyone that is religious. Definitely, a secularist wrote this.
I would have difficulty allowing my children to be indoctrinated/brainwashed by this goofy organization. I’d allow them to picket the front of the camp though.
Question: How would you define sin?
Obama: Anything that goes against my values.
Hey! This is 2009 null, it’s “N@C’s”
Hmmmmm...
Some so-called conservatives voted for this. Rooney of Florida and McCotter of Michigan. Losers.
Actually, yes, you little 8 year old grandchildren DO have to participate. The program has two sections. One for Primary and Elementary age children, one for middle, highschool and college.
So poo poo it all you want. But your children are no less exempt than any of ours are.
So that means no volunteering at a church homeless shelter? Or a church sponsored nursing home?
It looks like it, depending on how you read that sentence. How this does not violate the First Amendment is hard to fathom.
It’s not logical???
Why? Why wouldn’t it be logical? Because it sounds EXTREME? Because it sounds OUTRAGEOUS?
Guess what, how would you have felt if someone told you 2 months ago that there would be a group of people paying 90% tax? Or that the government is talking about seizing control of private business?
You would have shot that out as ‘it’s just not logical’ then, right?
Nothing surprises me with this adminstration.
Wait, I missed the part about the uniforms? There are uniforms?
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
Pastor Martin Niemöller
Community and individuality are not opposites. People cannot survive on their own. When the odds are stacked against you, you must rally with the oppressed and hated.
When a growing oppressive regime is taking hold, you must act, otherwise you will soon face your enemy alone and hopeless.
Strength of community is a strength as much as individualism, as long you are willing to face weaknesses in your own community. Ignoring slacking values will mean that you will be rallied against by those you oppress.
Niemöller affirms we must rally against unhealthy organized regimes. We must also stay vigilant with those that appear to be good natured, as all organisation attracts corruption. Niemöller also warns us that if it is you who are corrupt, then you will face a stronger combined force of foe!

Wow I’m screwed. My scholarship funding was pulled due to lack of funds and I had to take out a loan to finish my “useless” degree. I won’t go quietly....
“...Guess what, how would you have felt if someone told you 2 months ago that there would be a group of people paying 90% tax? Or that the government is talking about seizing control of private business?”...
It would not have surprised me in the least.
Before obama and the Democrat Party is through every pension plan including Social Security will be bankrupt. The dollar will be destroyed. The economic system of the United States will be destroyed. This won’t happen over night but it is happening as I type this.
