wonder what their indoctrination will be based on? My best bet is Alinsky.

obamanation is trying to turn out little obamanations. more of our money going to train more haters of America. I would guess that their numbers will include the rainbows and browns of all shades.... and then, maybe, a token white.

what a transparent scam..

“Mayor Michael Bloomberg swore in 193 members of the NYC Civic Corps.”

Wonder why they haven’t published the oath that these fine young cannibals pledged.

Take a gander at their NYC priorites.

You’ll have to visit the site because it won’t allow copying of text or viewing of page source.

Tricky these bastards.

Someone needs to do a screen capture before it all goes down the memory tube.

The NYC community service organizations from Google are here:

REMEMBER, that none of the faith-based ones will get any help. But the “diversity” ones will.
