PAY them out of government (taxpayer) funds to do The One’s bidding. It’s diabolical.

[ishabibble]

Creepy. Creepy. Creepy.

We don’t need the Hitler Youth Program here in the U.S. and it will be something like this that sparks the first flames of revolution. As it should, there can be no GIVE without TAKE and TAKE and TAKE and TAKE....

[Kenny]

Doesn’t America see the insanity here?

We’re spending money faster than we can print it!

He Tweeted this a couple of hours ago:

$6 billion bill to turn volunteers into gov't workers just passed Senate, 78-20. An outrageous attack on civil society.

I can't believe only 20 Republicans voted against it.

And I wonder if we'll get to review this bill before it's signed by Obama. I want to see the final version.

I just saw an classified employment ad for AmeriCorps the other day.

It said they were bulking up.

[Oldexpat]

Just what will these people actually do?

[Snickering Hound]

Only 20 republicans could vote against the Hitler Youth and they wonder why their base despises them so much.

Created by Castro, upon the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista during the Cuban Revolution. The slogan of the CDR is, "¡En cada barrio, Revolución!" ("In every neighborhood, Revolution!") It claims a membership of 7.6 million.

The CDR officials have the duty to monitor the activities of each person in their respective blocks. There is an individual file kept on each block resident, some of which reveal the internal dynamics of households.

Other responsibilities include arranging festivals, administrating voluntary community projects and organizing mass rallies. The CDRs are organized on a geographical basis and act as a center for many who do not work in farms or factories, hence the committees have a large proportion of female membership.[1]

More proof the last election was meaningless: McCain voted for this.

[Robwin]

Candidate Obama: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.. Now this.

[Cicero]

74 votes in favor? Those stupid Republicans are getting stupider and stupider by the day. By the hour! What in hell is wrong with these people?

a/k/a The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act ("GIVE Act")

GAG. I am so sick of Kennedys painting themselves as "public servants."

[ronnie raygun]

Do you get the feeling thier pushing our buttons day in and day out to see where and when the breaking point will be. You can only taunt the sleeping grizzly so much until he rears his ugly head and sinks his teeth into your a##. Are they hoping for an open rebellion? Civilian unrest so they can institute marshal law, the plan all along? It seems every day that goes by another idiot steps up to the plate with an a##anine moronic bill or legislation that goes against the constitution and everything it stands for.

BO wants his own Hitler youth. I will admit, it is going to be funny to watch them throw up their arms and shout, “DEAR LEADER” instead of Sieg Heil! That’ll be the only difference though. They will still be taught to snitch to their government massas every time they hear their parents say something against the government or the “dear leader.”
