Good thing I turn 43 in October..I do NOT expect this to take effect before then-—if ever.

I DO wonder:: just what would the average, drugged-out, rat-innfested punk rock singer, singing about “how bad those mean right-wingers are” and such—HOW do they feel about THIS??

It’s not only citizens, but all those who live in the U.S. who will have to serve.

Here’s the text of the bill:

“Do they get to choose their service? If so I recommend they patrol the border...that’s a win-win”

Latent thoughts of outdated patriotism are detected in your statement. Therefore your national service will be at the border collecting discarded clothing and personal items left by our new exempliar citizens. You are privilaged to launder, fold, and return said items to rightful owner.
Remember, “a tidy workplace is a happy workplace.”

According to Government Tracker, “For context, Congressman Rangel has introduced this bill many times in the past. Each time, it has received very little support, and Rangel knows it has no chance of being passed.”

It’s the new WPA under another name enforced at gunpoint.

It’s all fine when their guys do it. It’s not about content, it’s about team.

Makes me heartsick ... all of it, all the way around.

I wanna be a lawyer
Doctor or professor
A member of the UMC

I want an air conditioner
Cottage on the river
And all the money I can see

I wanna drive a Lincoln
Spend my evenings drinking
The very best burgandy

I want a yacht for sailing
Private eye for tailing
My wife if She’s a bit too free

I’ve been told ever since a boy
that’s what one aught to be
A part of the UMC

I want a pool to swim in
Fancy suits to dress in
Some stock in GM and GE

An office in the city
Secretary pretty
Who’ll take dictation on my knee

I want a paid vacation
Don’t want to have to ration
A thing with anyone but me

And if there’s war or famine
Promise I’ll examine
The details if they’re on TV

I’ll pretend to be liberal but I’ll still support the GOP,
As part of the UMC

I wanna be a lawyer
Doctor or professor
A member of the UMC

does that mean that illegals will be patrolling the border? :-)

They already do this!

What if, say a 37 year old, already has a full time job?

Possibly. But as we all know “patrolling” would mean they’d be in a uniform. Illegals already are doing that to get citizenship.

Since it doesn't have a prayer of actually becoming law, I don't think you need to get too worked up about it :-)

I dont think it would be limited to just military service. This would empower the government to require all to serve and serve in all jobs including civilian federal service.

It’ll basically be accomplished by regulations instead. The government now has control of the entire student loan industry. It won’t be the druggies and illegals who are forced to work for the government. It will be those who want a college loan. That’s how they’ll get around it being involuntary servitude; the “compensation” is the chance for a college loan.

And of course, the loan will have to be sharia-compliant...

When you’ve got rotten people in regulatory positions, with rotten goals, rotten allies, and unlimited power it’s just a matter of time before the whole place stinks.

This is a set up to take over the US government.

““For context, Congressman Rangel has introduced this bill many times in the past. Each time, it has received very little support, and Rangel knows it has no chance of being passed.”

You are correct, but I’d still like to know what would happen to someone who already has a full time job under the directives of this bill.

“I wonder what hOlyman’s army would think about their saviOr if they knew he will be reviving the draft (women included).” ~ Sgt_Schultze #6
bttt

July 2008:

“If there is a documented source proving that B. Hussein will even consider reviving the draft, it would cost him the “yoots” vote. But, I don’t think you will be able to document that.” ~ no dems #14

You just gotta look under a different word or phrase. :)

In a speech, Obama said he wanted to grow the military by 65,000. Not only that, but if any were to call for a draft, it would be Barack Obama and the DemocRATS. They’re already on the record proposing the idea. (Don’t forget, Obama has already said that he wouldn’t immediately pull out of Iraq, he wants to fight in Afghanistan, and has suggested that he might even invade Pakistan.)

Obama, like all ‘RATS, will push his agenda by stealth. Instead of calling it a (mandatory) draft, he’ll call it something like, “Service Nation” where the service is mandatory.

Oh, WAIT! That’s already in the works!

Is Obama Pushing A National Draft?
News Type: Opinion ­ Seeded on Thu Jul 24, 2008 3:04 PM EDT
http://nearing.newsvine.com/_news/2008/07/24/1692678-is-obama-pushing-a-national-draft-

A relatively new group, Service Nation, is planning to kick off a campaign with a Summit for “National Service” on September 11. Time Magazine has signed on to promote the effort.

The website trumpets its training of “Change Agents” in cooperation with “Change, Inc.” Its blog is called ChangeWire. Does this theme sound familiar?

The website makes it clear that it is not just calling for individuals to get involved, but it is calling for a new National Service Act that will involve the government in transforming American society...

Note the interpretation of community service as promoting national defense, just as in Barack Obama’s July 2, 2008 speech, a juxtaposition that confused most bloggers.

Under [DemocRAT] Rangel’s [military draft] bill, if one is selected for induction into the military, one may choose instead to do civilian service.

... the bill calls this mandatory service “Voluntary Service.”
