Lamar!
Get yer head out of your Clymer
So now a large number of Republicans are drinking Obama’s Kool-Aid... How can they walk lock-step in his efforts to build his Brownshirts?
As if college already doesn’t have enough money-wasting, time wasting programs they force students to go through to “earn” a degree... now the federal government will now mandate that said students perform hundreds of hours of “volunteer” service/community organizing/public service to get a degree.
Socialism is firmly in control. Turn out the lights, turn in your guns. It’s over.
Sphincter did it again! I’m surprized McPAIN didn’t pick Sphincter as his Vice Presidential Running Mate!! altough We kn ow he wanted Lieberman thinking that would guarantee his LOSS and resultant Bonus from SOROS and The Drive-bys!
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
There is only ONE instance in which it is legal for involuntary servitude to exist w/in the US, & it is spelled out right here (punishment for a crime). What crimes have these young people committed?
Shouldn't this also include the prohibition of a military draft, which I believe is a form of involuntary servitude?
Go to Washington and you will be paid off. Money is buying all these so called Republicans by the Dem’s and they have lost their values. Money is the root of all evil.
Burr (NC) voted YEA ????
The same day it posts he starts a re-election drive..??
WHAT !! ??
LOSER..
Correction. Money CAN be the root of all evil.
I’m not surprised that Souder voted “yes”...from what I’ve seen of him, he’s a supporter of the big Security / Prison State. He’s a Drug Warrior on steroids, too.
You think my email to my Senator might be a bit harsh?
Well, I must say that I am not surprised that you have chosen to get behind yet another mass indoctrination program of the socialist agenda.
Your vote today to mandate that any college or university that receives any sort of Federal funds (think financial aid) must require hundreds of hours of “volunteer service” from their students for them to receive their degree is absolutely insane.
Exactly what part of “volunteer” includes being mandated to do something?
I suppose the next step will be the Federal Government mandating what counts as Volunteer hours. I am sure such hours will be required to be in Leftist-Socialist approved venues.
The lust for money is the root of all evil.
Idiots!!!!!!
Putting the "National" in National Service, by Senator John McCain.(^)
William F Buckley was in favor of mandatory public service (The Philosophic Postmortem of William F. Buckley, Jr.(^), The Rule of Reason). McCain references Buckley, saying "Buckley was right, but it's fair to say that it took a while before we conservatives accustomed ourselves to the idea."
There wasn't a nickel's worth of difference between what Obama wants and what McCain wanted. If anything, McCain's ideas are more radical.
The whole program is a cover to indoctranate people in to the truth of socialism.
There will be camps all over america for them to go to be re-educated. Those who refuse to go or cause problems in the camps will just vanish.
Ayers said upwards of 30,000,000 Americas will need to be eliminated in order for the takeover to work.
We now know by this vote we are in this alone, no one in congress stands for feeedom.
Where was the appropriate legislation?
Just because Congress wants to follow the Chosen One like he is the Pied Piper?
I hate them.
“Money CAN be the root of all evil.”
... For the ‘LOVE’ of money is the root of all evil.
STE=Q
Just called her Austin office and gave her a ration of shit over it.
