Posted on 11/12/2008 12:18:55 AM PST by Pacothecat

In a 2006 interview with Ben Smith of the NY Daily News, Rahm Emanuel, who will be Barack Obama's White House chief of staff, laughed at Smith's concerns about how far-reaching a mandatory civil-service plan would be.

I imagine there will be a lot of Peronist tactics.

Then you believe that a draft during wartime is manstealing as well?

As far as Zacchaeus, I believe he was skimming off the top. That's definitely stealing.

Are you going so far as to say that all taxation is stealing?

Jah, und Rahm vill be ze new Ernst Roehm who founded Hitler’s Brown Shirts.

But Rahm really should read up on the fate suffered by old Ernst.

And what about giving to Caesar in the New Testament?

Your insult do not come off funny to me, either. Let just bury the hatchet on this. And let it go.

I wish somebody would find a way to send that picture to Rahm and label it with his name. Maybe it would give him pause (though I doubt it)

Here's the deal on Rahm. He is closely aligned with the Israeli experience. He volunteered for duty in Israel with the IDF during Gulf War I. The Israeli experience is a communal one, whether it be the kibbutz or the IDF. People forget Israel's socialist roots and these were the beliefs of many if not most European Jews.

In America the summer sleep away camp is a traditional right of passage for Jewish adolescents. Even the summer weeks in the Catskills speak of a communal experience, think of the movie Dirty Dancing. So when Emmanuel speaks of this it is born from his own experiences. the fact that it aligns with Obama's pronouncements about a civilian defense force is a problem to be dealt with, but Emmanuels' proposals are what he grew up thinking was the norm.

Ceasar is dead. You can not serious think that we should pay taxes to the dead??? Just kidding...

And to pay taxes to Uncle Sam. Congress started up the IRS Unconsitutional. Like a lot of other things they did back around the turn of the last century. Never the less has it once was for Ceasar, so it is for Uncle Sam. For now...

> So what? I imagine there will be quite a few not showing up. I believe there are still enough Americans brave enough to resist this unconstitutional crap.

I can’t help thinking that one day — perhaps in a few years — the Liberation of America is going to become necessary. From offshore, rather like D-Day.

Indeed. I have a very good friend like that. Prior to the election, I had always thought she was “reachable” on some level... Nope. Big time Kool-aid drinker : \

It was very difficult to understand. I finally came to realize, that she only “believes” what fits into her mindset. Reality does NOT matter. Obama could have videotaped himself planning 9-11 with Ayers, and she would find a way to rationalize it : /

It really is a mental disease...

Re: the reality of racism.
Yup. I think it is safe to say, that a lot of folks of all colors, hate a lot of white folks more than anyone ever imagined : |
Very sad state of affairs, but the good news is, LOGICALLY, things should get better.
After all, we have the first black President. Clearly, there is nothing holding anyone back, anymore! Right?

There’s no theft implied in rendering to Caesar.

Whoa there Davie, you don’t talk like that to our Allegra (warrior princess). She has walked the walk.
