The whole idea of a National Day of Service on Sept. 11, whether voluntary or not and regardless of who is promoting the idea, ought to make advocates of limited government jittery. I mean, aren't taxes, by which the productive subsidize the nonproductive, enough? How much more service to the government is needed? Where does it end? It reminds me of something that Michelle Obama, in her unintentional imitation of Evita Peron last year, said.
Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you…move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed. It turns out the First Lady might have meant it. This all reminds me of the Reich Labor Service, a program instituted to help "green" the Third Reich. The members of the Reich Labor Service appeared prominently in the classic Nazi propaganda film, Triumph of the Will, (I had to watch it in college) bearing shovels in place of rifles.

I could only imagine blooming idiot reporters trying to embed themselves with the rebels if a Civil War breaks out. They’ll be wondering why their broadcast stations are being knocked out.
They want MANDATORY community service. They will do this service for ACORN or OFA or Planned Parenthood. Whether they like it or not.
As long as it is voluntary ( freely chosen, without remuneration from government.)
See my new tag line - I think I changed it about 2 weeks ago...
we sure will find out the answer, won’t we ?
The definition of a Totalitarian -
and this program of "public service" is time you will required to 'volunteer' - ie, not paid.
She honestly doesn't understand that to force someone to do something is hardly 'volunteer' work. 'tis the mind set of a Marxist
What is 'voluntary' about something you are forced to do?
Why on 9/11?
Is this to honor the “service” done by the 9/11 hijackers?
The first sentence of the article says "voluntary or not."
LOL...I’m stealing that!
From “Rules for Radicals” by Obama’s hero, Saul Alinsky:
RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
You do know, don't you, that MALIGNANT NARCISSISTS cannot handle mockery and ridicule.
Look forward to meeting you at CAMP OBAMA.
Dibs on the lower bunk.
obami can’t require me to do squat.
Hey obami, GFY.
The left has always wanted mandatory “community” service and I think they are pretty close to forcing everyone who gets a student loan to be required to do years of “community service”.
So, he will need to rescind the Thirteenth Amendment first.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Somewhat ironic, wouldn't you say?
They will make it a condition for getting a student loan or like Maryland for High School graduation
Exactly. Amen. Take the media out and work up from there. Without the media they cannot direct lies and hysteria. They will be forced to live in reality like the rest of us. Reality holds pain.
Kick ‘em hard and fast in the knees and groin (media) and deliver the final blows to the head and torso (statist) immediately there after.
Let freedom ring.
I am not a pacifist. I’ve lived life free and moral. I will expend the rest of what I have so that my children and yours can experience the taste of that love as well.
“Honk” if you’re ready for war.
Beep! Beep!
