With almost no public attention, both chambers of Congress in the past week advanced an alarming expansion of the Americorps national service plan, with the number of federally funded community service job increasing from 75,000 to 250,000 at a cost of $5.7 billion. Lurking behind the feel-good rhetoric spouted by the measures advocates is a bill that on closer inspection reveals multiple provisions that together create a strong odor of creepy authoritarianism. The House passed the measure overwhelmingly, while only 14 senators had the sense and courage to vote against it on a key procedural motion. Every legislator who either voted for this bill or didnt vote at all has some serious explaining to do.
Lucy! You've got some splainin' to do.

Soon to be known as Service Americorps, or the S.A. for short.
Oh boy! Our own brownshirts!

Obama is planning on growing his own little muslim “Eichmans”.
Ward Churchill must be very proud.
Guess we’ll have to counter with the NRA Corps down the road .
So, what do you suggest? katanas? crossbows? rude looks?
How about a good beating?
Fascist in liberal clothing. For now.
The longer we sleep the more they get passed us! GET INVOLVED!
The folks that did the machete massacres in Africa first rounded up their victims using men armed with guns, then slaughtered them with the machetes.
So, perhaps rounding up a few brownshirts for a good ol’ ‘hood “beatdown” might be an alternative to shooting them.
Those making up the brownshirts will be familiar with the “6 on 1 beatdown”, ala Jenna.
Barbed wire necklace.
Can anyone point to something Americorps has done that was worth anything? Liberals love these kind of programs that produce nothing but make them feel good.
Read the comments at the bottom of the article. No one is happy with this. It’s going to be a hard sell. It’s very difficult to force people to do something they really don’t want to do, but if it comes to the point where people have guns to their backs, you’ll know that the United States of America no longer exists.
It has a”hitler youth” feel to it!
