SIEG HEIL!

[FreeSouthernAmerican]

I won’t do it.

[tet68]

The collectivization of America continues.

[AlexW]

Will this be like the Nazi Youth Corps, or the Soviet Pioneers?
Obviously it will be designed to look like the Boy Scouts, but operate like socialist/Marxist indoctrination centers.

[Tzimisce]

And they’ll all wear brown shirts. :)

[nathanbedford]

$6 billion for indoctrination camps but not one cent for the charitable deduction.

Suggested theme song: Horst Wessel Lied

[ChicagahAl]

"Office of Social Innovation"

We have a congressional election in a year and a half. We must take back Congress and stop this madness.

Let's stop nitpicking candidates to death because they are not perfect. Let's send messages to Michael Steele and to the state Republican Organizations, that we need conservative candidates and that we will support them. The criminals in Congress and the Totalitarians in the White House are killing us. We have to stop losing elections.

Young Pioneers on the March!

Government control of donations of both time and money from volunteers. Unnecessary and draining to non-related charities.

F*** U Obama ZerO...just like I yell at the tv every time his stinking face appears in the commercial for this crap.............

[piytar]

I won’t either, and if they try to make my nephews serve in their indoctrination camps, I’ll (self-deleted)...

"Will this be like the Nazi Youth Corps, or the Soviet Pioneers? "

"Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act during his first 100 days in office — a timeline that pleases national-service advocates for its symbolic significance."

This is an official endorsement by the Hussein Administration of an increase of 175,000 in National (volunteer) Service funding. In particular, The Obammunist likes Americorp.

The one to watch out for is the Domestic Defence Force "larger than and better funded than our armed services."

I just keep wondering if we can pull in the reigns and get things straightened out or if we can’t, when do we know its that time?

[trumandogz]

I don’t think people are being forced to do it, well at least for now.

[FreeSouthernAmerican]

“at least for now”

You are right, but there is potential.

[ChiMark]

This will be another colosal dud.

This is just an expansion of the Clinton Americorps
which failed.

A peace Corp bust-out program.

[trumandogz]

Actually not concerned about anyone being forced into national service. A proposal like that would never get through Congress and Obama knows that.

However, I am concerned about the cost of Serve America Act and program.
