Obama wants "mandatory community service?" Hello! Isn't that slavery

0 votes

Isn't that where you are forced to work for free? Have I oversimplified this? Lots of sites are talking about the "mandatory community service" story. I'm speechless. I wonder if it was widely talked about by the MSM if he still would have had the support he needed to win last week.

Just what I was thinking

Coming from a white guy, would it seem racist to say that his plan is slavery to a black person?

Obama’s American Dream: Servitude

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
November 7, 2008

“When you choose to serve — whether it’s your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood — you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That’s why it’s called the American dream,” declares Obama on the newly fashioned Office of the President-Elect website.

Obama’s vision of the American dream, however, will not consist of Americans freely choosing to volunteer to work in their communities and neighborhoods. It will be a requirement. “Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.” (Emphasis added.)

Obama camp scrubs website to remove references to “mandatory” community service

P.M. Jaworski
Western Standard
November 8, 2008

Associate editor, Terrence Watson, posted a satirical letter from the Western Standard to American youth who could expect to be required to serve 50 to 100 hours per year in "volunteer" activities. That was the obvious implication of the statements found on Obama’s website, Change.gov.

As news of the community service army draft trickled out, Obama webmasters began to scrub references to "mandatory" and "require." Take a look at these before-and-after quotes taken from the America Serves portion of the website:

“This is not a draft”

In all fairness, we can’t really call Obama’s proposed national service plan a new draft. First, he’s not talking about requiring young people to do military service. Second, we are getting decidedly mixed signals as to whether the service will be compulsory. At first, the word "required" was used freely; now we see much talk of tax credits, less talk of requirement.

Nevertheless, this new program certainly feels like the next step toward a new draft. Just as Ike’s planners made sure that the national highway system could see usage as a military transport system, Obama’s civilian service corps could make mustering a draft army much, much easier.

After all, this is the guy who said (vis-a-vis the establishment of ROTC programs on all college campuses):

I think it’s important for the president to say, this is an important obligation. If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some.

Hm. And when did you sign up, Barky?

If all he wants is 100 hours thiers nothing for us to worry about because we've already done our time by working for free 6 months out of the year to pay taxes including the volutary income tax.

well, not according to the supreme court

In the case of butler v Perry, in 1916, the court upheld a florida law requiring a person to work on the roads in his county.

Two obnoxious quotes from the decision

the 13th Amendment declares that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist. This Amendment was adopted with reference to conditions existing since the foundation of our government, and the term 'involuntary servitude' was intended to cover those forms of compulsory labor akin to African slavery which, in practical operation, would tend to produce like undesirable results. [240 U.S. 328, 333] It introduced no novel doctrine with respect of services always treated as exceptional, and certainly was not intended to interdict enforcement of those duties which individuals owe to the state, such as services in the army, militia, on the jury, etc. The great purpose in view was liberty under the protection of effective government, not the destruction of the latter by depriving it of essential powers.

There is no merit in the claim that a man's labor is property, the taking of which without compensation by the state for building and maintenance of public roads violates the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. That Amendment was intended to preserve and protect fundamental rights long recognized under the commonlaw law system.

Not mostley by Blacks!

Black people make up about 13% of the population in the US and about 5% is a Felon or in Prison!

White people got Obama elected!!!!

College Vouchers

If every kid does it and gets the $4000 we are basically doing a form of voucher. This is just a bad idea all around, voluntary or forced.

Story about it.

Everything's

a conspiracy !

Quick, go hide your ass in a bunker !

Stay there till someone tells you it's safe to come out ... but then, don't believe them ... "they" may be trying to trick you into coming out !

I read the comment of someone who said, ...

"Isn't it odd that all it took was the first black president to return us to the days of slavery!" "Forced", "mandated/compulsory" labor from anyone who doesn't volunteer to "put their backs into it" is "slavery", in my opinion.

It will be volantary at 1st

Tied to college grants. If you do the time. Then little by little it will be mandatory. And the sheep will say "BAH"!

Now is the time to JUMP-START the campaigns for 2010 and 2012.
We didn't lose. The ignorant lost. We know what has happened. Personally I think John McCain Has been used as a patsy. To bring about an Obama administration.

ruckmanite,

Give your head a shake !

Are you brain-dead ?

a little good news

i posed this the other day as a myspace bulletin. i've had at least two Obama supporters repost my bulletin. they are now asking me questions as to what the hell is going on.

the best people to hit with this info will be high school students and parents with children that will be in the 18-25 during Obama's presidency.

Mandatory community service aka...

This topic came up before on DP

and disappeared for the same reason this thread ought to disappear. You have twisted his words. I don't like Obama's policies AT ALL but I don't lie about what he says. So the website said "required" big deal. That is not what he is talking about. And he's not president yet.

h-daddy

Involuntary servitude =

Involuntary servitude = Slavery.

What part of that confused you?

None of it confused me.

But you and your buddies are determined to twist it into something sinister. Tuma, I thought you wanted this revolution to make some progress? Is this kind of crap going to get it done?

h-daddy

um... If it's required, it's involitary servitude, regardless of "pay". Read the 13th amendment.

Yeah, right

Come on, now. Is attacking a typo all you've got? You really have no rebuttal to the point of my posting?

WHAT!?!??!

They're two meanings of "Required". Go back to sleep.

This stupid thread

reminds me of how Al Gore tries to sensationalize every thing he talks about. Obama is not trying to enslave anyone. Why bother twisting his words around to get it to sound like something it isn't.

h-daddy

Have you not seen

The screenshot? I don't think there is another way to put it. Spin it. He said required service.

Notice too, how he names everything with "corps"

He's going to run America like a company, if you don't do your job, you'll be fired probably. We're in for a rough 4 years I think, but we can't wait for this crap to take hold. Who can stop this in Congress, the Senate? Obama can't force people to do this, there's just no way.

The n.w.o. is 100% for slavery. That is not talked about very often. "He REQUIRED bond and SLAVE" to take the mark of the beast. Its being brought to you by the good humanists folks that talk about not discriminating. They back up Obama and keep thier mouths shut about his stance on slavery.

Clarification...

The elite want mandatory service... Obama is merely their puppet and rubber stamp. A corporate PR campaign was started over two years ago.

I posted about this on another thread.

That's the great thing about

That's the great thing about America. We are a "free" country and people really do want to remain free. That's why people are raving over this topic all around the Internet. Required / mandatory (or whatever you want to call it) service is not a quality of a "free" nation.

If I am ever told by my government that I must work for free, regardless of how well intentioned the free work is - I intend to remind them of the 13th Amendment and refuse to comply with any and all such mandatory service.

How is this different from community service requirements

to graduate high school. I remember testifying against that law oh 12 years ago.
