Forwarded - this is brainwashing

I sent this video around to a few people. Although I 100% oppose forced service to your country, that isn't the most alarming part to me The most alarming part is that 18-25 year olds who are forced into 3 month programs will no doubt receive "training" which will amount to reprogramming. They'll be brainwashed into believing collectivist ideas. I'm sure the Obama camp has all the psychology worked out in order to change 100% of young Americans who pass through this program into good Socialists.

Involuntary Servitude

About a month ago there was this post...

Seems that "Obama's chief of staff choice favors compulsory universal service"...

Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, President-Elect Barack Obama's choice for chief of staff in his incoming administration, is co-author of a book, The Plan: Big Ideas for America, that calls for, among other things, compulsory service for all Americans ages 18 to 25."

(Emphasis mine.)

This is quite worrisome on it's own. But it seems that Obama is also for Involuntary Servitude as well....

"Obama believes that middle and high school students should be expected to engage in community service for 50 hours annually during the school year or summer months"

I See Now

"This is not a draft, it is a universal service."

Oh, how clever, similar to the: their not "illegal aliens, they are undocumented immigrants".

I was out on the gun range today with my son and a neighbor...

practicing with an assault rifle, a 45, and a shotgun. I feel connected to the Founding Fathers and the Constitution when I shoot a gun.
I am very proud of what motivated people accomplished during the formation of this country. However, I am very upset with what our present government is doing. Our past and our present governments are now diametrically opposed to one another.
We will keep practicing, and other neighbors also want to join in next time.
My hope is that the dollar will go bust and our country will breakup into regions before this new requirement gets implemented.
In the meantime, we will just keep practicing.

Does anyone know what happened to him as child with his hand?

I just want to see if ANYBODY did any digging on this guy.

Barack Obama says the injury rendered Emanuel partially mute.

Or maybe

a sit and spin accident.

I think

he flippid Dick Cheney off.

He cut off half of his middle finger in a meat grinder

at his grandfather's deli. I'm trying to see if his brother Russ is at all connected to Arnold Shapiro.

that sounds pretty harsh....but if you think about it....the molested child goes on to become the molester.

What if the Jew, at one time the subject of diminished rights and human purging, actually some day goes on to become the force to do unto others that which had been done to them?

I wonder if Jesus is on board with the whole "they kill 5 of us, we kill 500 of them" strategy....

A civilian "draft" for 18-25 year olds creates...

..draft resistors!

I'm not ignoring how stupid and draconian this proposal is - but I also see overt oppression breeds overt resistance. You want to "wake up" the young people? If this doesn't wake them up - nothing will.

The really sad thing is the way that alleged "conservatives" in Europe (our neo-cons) have wet dreams about restoring "national service" in countries like Britain.

Show them any social problem involving young people - especially young men - and they scream "Bring Back National Service" as a panacea.

I think you are right....

most of the young people I talk to don't like all the wars and like even less the idea of fighting in them.

It's slavery!

Slavery introduced again, and by Obama! It is just plain crazy.. Martin Luther King jr would NEVER tolerate this.

King

Promoted the idea of "men with character", this Obama man has no character. But, the general population can't or just refuse to comprehend the "character" part. All they see is his race! Reverse racism you might say. Racism against their own race you also might say.

Other than MLK was a Commie

Seeing as MLK was pretty much a Commie, I don't think he would have opposed it.

Wow flashback !

Who's he to go around

Who's he to go around promoting alleigance to the USA? And citizenship doesn't come when you're born on American soil anymore? I never trusted this prick from the get go, he seemed too slick for my liking.

He is

the Slave Master. Who did you think?

I knew that. But I had to

I knew that. But I had to get it out of my system. ;)

watch the roast of Rahm Emanuel

he's aparantly quite the guy. not!

God!

That guy is DISGUSTING!

I'm not permitted to tell you the thought that crossed my mind.

My 19 year old nephew said

My 19 year old nephew said he believes the government should bring back the draft as that is the only way to wake up the citizenry (at least the youth) to finally get off their collective ass and turn on this crazed empire.

While I will never sympathize with such slavery - and, in truth, he was being a bit facetious - the point being that until people see the government oppression coming directly at them they seem unrousable.

Its sure not like the old days when opposition to the draft and the Vietnam War had the people by the hundreds of thousands hitting the streets and making the powers that be shit their pants.

That's an interesting point your nephew made

The oppression will need to be jacked up before most individuals have an incentive to pay attention about politics.

Sounds like you americans will be drafted for whatever service

they want you to do.
