A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

Don’t worry about it, you will get your choice in the mandatory civilian work camps, you can assemble crappy cars at GM or you can rebuild New Orleans, on a chain gang...think of it as spreading the wealth....of your labor.....

This is little more than a corps of neo Brown Shirts.
How strange. The Obama-Jungen video has disappeared from Youtube.
Of course, Obama’s change.gov website page on the service program has taken the mandatory elements out.
It took out the word required and now just says it is a “goal” and puts in an incentive for college students.
Obama is changing his policies before he even gets into office.

Somebody should put this on Digg.
“We’re all here for you, ok. It’s a Circle of Love.”
How 1984 of him. The Ministry of Love (minilov in newspreak). In 1984, the Ministry of Love enforces loyalty and love of Big Brother through fear, torture, and brainwashing.
Defense against whom? Republicans where fear mongering after 9/11 the rats take over and announce we need a cd corps??
Will the government train all the kids to shoot? It sounds like it. It sounds like this is similar to what Israel requires of its youth.
If so, what happens when all these armed young people become disenchanted with their “Dear One”?
Or will they be thoroughly brainwashed first? Maybe that’s why the interviewer was concerned about the barracks; three months sequestered into barracks may be enough to screw them up good. If the kids can still live with their families, there may be hope.

I think that we are interpreting the importance of this issue correctly but not it’s source and their objective.
Please consider the second amendment: from wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
“The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the pre-existing individual right to possess and carry weapons (i.e., “keep and bear arms”) in case of confrontation.[1] Codification of the right to keep and bear arms into the Bill of Rights was influenced by a fear that the federal government would disarm the people in order to impose rule through a standing army or select militia,[2] since history had shown taking away the people’s arms and making it an offense for people to keep them was the way tyrants eliminated resistance to suppression of political opponents”
The key here is “select militia” which is exactly what they are discussing. It becomes a constitutional battle and they will have to rewrite or amend the second amendment’s interpretation by executive order. This is where they start to take away OUR guns and make sure that every citizen is armed BY THEM.
It seems to be a baby step for a liberal, but on a big scale it seems to me like what they are trying to do. Am I reaching here? comments????
If this is the case, we NEED strong representation to force this issue to the front and strong leaders to fight for us. Not the middle of the road republicans but true conservatives who will stand up for our rights and freedoms.
It is not hyperbole to call such a plan “tyrannical”.
