I read about this bill a month ago, but not until now did I know it restricted religious freedom of those who participate.

There is no doubt in my mind that Obama is a full blown Fascist. I read about the Hitler youth, and like Obama now, Hitler just gained control of the youth groups already formed and changed their direction to worship him and the state.

I think I smell the ovens warming up.

[SendShaqtoIraq]

where can we read this bill in full? because i remember this about religion being only PART of a sentence, not that they can’t engage in these activities, but that these activities cannot count as their “volunteer” service.

not that that isnt’ bad enough

"What is it about socialists, that makes them despise religion?"

Religion can prevent people from becoming good little fascists. It must be replaced.

Very scary stuff going on in our country. Has anyone seen this in the MSM?

[HiTech RedNeck]

The bill text speaks of what the "position" may not be used for. It isn't clear to me that any and all activities of the enrolled person count as exercise of the "position." Forbidding the enrollee from going to church would be unconstitutional on its face.

[SolidWood]

"What is it about socialists, that makes them despise religion?"

If you worship God, you can't worship the state. If there is a life after death, there is no need to create "paradise on earth".

[Canedawg]

Hmmm...

[rrrod]

For all of those that make excuses for friends and relatives that vote RAT or even register as a Democrat.

These are the same exact people that cheered the trains as they headed towards the Nazi death camps and smile when hearing of lamp shades made of human skin............

Cultural Marxism is the radical political philosophy that is transforming America. The primary tool used to leverage this philosophy is Political Correctness. The incubator of this philosophy and its associated tools was the Communist think-tank, the Frankfurt School.

The Frankfurt School was formed in Germany as the Institute of Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung) at Frankfurt University in 1923 by a group of German intellectuals who shared a common belief in Karl Marx’s theory of Historical Materialism.

Influenced by the failure of working-class revolutions in Western Europe after World War I and by the rise of Nazism, these men set out to select the parts of Marx's thought that might apply to social conditions that Marx had never experienced. They then drew on other schools of thought, including Sigmund Freud, to fill in what they perceived to be Marx's omissions, resulting in the concept of the "Cultural Revolution," first postulated by the Italian Marxist, Antonio Gramsci.

Gramsci observed that the traditional concept of revolution and revolutionary strategy were dead. Marxists needed to wage a cultural revolution -- one directed toward the cultural establishment, including the morality of the existing society, with its goal being the complete disintegration of the system.

A modern utopia could then be constructed by idealistic intellectuals, the elites, who would turn Western civilization upside down. This utopia would be a product of their imagination and one not open to criticism.

During the Nazi era the Frankfurt School relocated to Switzerland in 1932. In 1935 the entire school was transferred to New York City. It's members migrating to major U.S. universities, such as, Columbia, Princeton, Brandeis, and U. C. Berkeley.

In 1941 the school moved again -- this time -- to Hollywood.

In America, the task of the Frankfurt School was to undermine its Judeo-Christian legacy through the Abolition of Culture (Aufhebung der Kultur), and to implement new cultural forms that would increase the alienation of the population, thus creating a new barbarism.

After World War I and the rise of Hitler, the Frankfurt School reconciled Marxist theory with the reality of what the people and governments of the world were experiencing. Each member of the school adjusted Marx's theories with his personal changes and additions. They then used the fixed Marxist theory as a measure of what would work in a modern society. These ideas came to be known as Critical Theory.

[RoadTest]

And the claim our objection to Obama is racist.

President Barry Hussein Obama
- The November Socialist Revolution!

 

The November Revolution!

[Gaffer]

His vision of a 'youth corp' is nothing short of 'youth monsters'....

Forced volunteerism and public school indoctrination will create a third world complexioned, brainwashed corp that will wreak untold havoc on this nation.

[steamroller]

Klansmen are generally class A a**holes to begin with,and when they become liberals,they’re class A+ a**holes.

[lilylangtree]

Socialists demonstrate a form of pedophilia. They’re always after the children.

[Joe Boucher]

I guess the public school indoctronaire isn’t enough brainwashing.
We now need a brown shirt youth movement.

How’s things warming up in Minnesota?
Everything in bloom and beautiful?

[Marysecretary]

Goodbye America.

They hate the Boy Scouts. They took God out of the Girl Scouts. (Thanks for that Ladies)

Now we have a Hitler youth for the future brown shirts and SS.

[nbhunt]

All the more reason for every man, woman and voting 18 year old to vote republican, come 2010.

I know most of the women here FR, vote, but a lot of others don't. Pass the word to your lady friends....we ALL have to vote (republican) in 2010 to put some control over Obama in the house and senate come 2010, in order to put a stop to his crap.

I think I will add an automatic sign off on all my emails of:

VOTE 2010....VOTE 2010....VOTE 2010....VOTE 2010

[aruanan]

When I read blogs like this, I look at the horrible grammar and have to wonder how likely it is that someone who cannot tell the difference between “who’s” and “whose” and who writes “the Republicans did not even attempted to stop” is able to understand things more complicated than simple matters of grammar.
