Title: Obama Youth Bill now before congress. 3 years MANDATORY service.
Post by: Mr Mannn on March 16, 2009, 05:40:12 AM
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.+1388:
People this is just scary.
HR 1388, will hit the House floor on Tuesday.It is called the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act (The Give Act.) The House is scheduled to Rule this week. Sponsored by Democrat Representative Carolyn McCarthy (NY), Education and Labor Committee. The objective is to reauthorize and reform the national service laws.

Democrat Rep. McCarthy is sponsoring the bill with 25 co-sponsors, ALL Democrats, including Charlie Rangel. Need I say more.
Quote
From the Misc. section, #6104: (6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.
MANDATORY! 3 years of service for all students.
The program talks about earning "educational awards" via this service.
What I suspect is the plan:

(1) Establish this "national service" as a way to get federal student aid for college;

(2) Soon to be followed by a reduction/elimination of other forms of federal student aid;

(3) Thus mandating a successful term of service as a condition for the non-wealthy getting through college. This term of service will take place under conditions where political orientation will be closely examined, indoctrination will be thorough, and the work will be for the benefit of Leftist organization.

I predict that this will be seen as a way to ensure that only the politically-correct will have access to professional careers.


This is it people. The link goes to the bill itself. I have no idea if it will pass congress. But 0bama was serious when he spoke of national service, and a national security corps.

I have never thought the things I have been thinking about any other president. As much as I despaired under Clinton's administration of corruption and graft, it was nothing to the deliberate destruction of the economy and basic freedoms we are seeing under 0bama.

PRAY for America. We are reaping what we have sown for so long.

Part of Title VI says:

SEC. 6107. POWERS OF COMMISSION.

(a) Hearings and Sessions- The Commission may, for the purpose of carrying out this title, hold public hearings, sit and act at times and places, take testimony, and receive evidence as the Commission considers appropriate.

So they are going to "try" us? Receiving evidence? Act as they consider appropriate??

(b) Powers of Members and Agents- Any member or agent of the Commission may, if authorized by the Commission, take any action which the Commission is authorized to take by this section.

And they may deputize others to act in their behalf?


(c) Obtaining Official Data- Upon request of the Chairperson, the head of any department or agency shall furnish information to the Commission that the Commission deems necessary to enable it to carry out this title.

Privacy laws do not apply to 0bama youth.

(d) Physical Facilities and Equipment- The Architect of the Capitol, in consultation with the appropriate entities in the legislative branch, shall locate and provide suitable facilities and equipment for the operation of the Commission on a nonreimbursable basis.

They can take your city hall, your HOUSE, your food, or your weapons ladies and gentlemen!

Despite the long list of whack jobs "co-sponsoring" this POS legislation, including Rangel and Kook-sin-ich, this bill isn't going anywhere.

Even still, I have no problem with reducing federal aid to stoodents. Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, anyone? Using that as justification to keep this POS bill from being enacted won't wash with me.

It's simply bad legislation. Enticing people to serve the state by dangling a carrot or two precisely angles into the moonbat liberal agenda of statism, nanny-style.

Along with this thing is a provision to amend the 1973 Domestic Volunteer Service Act. Why? Because it's VOLUNTEER.

And the so-called "Points of Light Foundation" is to be repealed. Hallalujah.  :whatever:

National Volunteer Antipoverty Programs amended. Yeah. Right.

Here's an interesting provision:

Quote
`(12) encourage national service efforts to address pressing national challenges, such as improving education for low-income students, increasing energy conservation, and improving the health, well-being, and economic opportunities of the neediest individuals in the Nation;

Who determines who is "low-income" and who are the "neediest individuals in the Nation"? Moonbatism run amok.

This one pisses me off:

Quote
`(18) encourage members of the Baby Boom generation to partake in service opportunities.'.

**** you, asshole. As a boomer, I don't need your "encouragement" to do anything but vote NO for your ass.

There's lots more moonbat where this POS came from.   :thatsright:

1.  This wouldn't actually establish such a system, it calls for an examination of whether one could be implemented - the answer to which is a foregone conclusion with at least two-thirds of the Reps from both parties, who know it would be political suicide for their own re-election chances to actually vote for really implementing it, but who can safely straddle the fence between posturing and taking a real position by voting to 'study' it. 

2.  McCarthy is a cuckoo, and anything she does to piss people off is good for the real humans. Same for the rest of the wackos on that list.

He's probably in commie heaven right now, watching everything conservative Christians fought for since the 80's falter and fail.

Sorry for the rant. I haven't had to deal with Old 33 for a while now. I cannot believe he is saved. He hangs out with fundies to taunt and argue.
Sad really. His pride will likely find him left behind. I wonder if he'll even act on what he knows.
Sad waste of a man. 

edit to add: for those of you who don't know him, Old33 is a liberal lawyer (very likely with the ACLU). I can best describe him as a DUmmie who thinks he is superior to all who disagree with him (by virtue of his being a lawyer, and we aren't). I've had the task to cross foils with him on many occasions, and I had the pleasure to have helped (behind the scenes) him get kicked off of several boards.

Article. XIII.
[Proposed 1865; Ratified 1865]
Section. 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

When one is Drafted, it may be involuntary but they get paid for their service.  That may be the legal work around.

I am still pissed that in this "modern age" women are NOT subject to the Selective Service Act.

Hi,

I am really suspect about this issue.  In my generation we all had the draft to consider when we got out of high school.  I happen to believe that one of the worst things nitwit Carter did was to discontinue the draft....not for the military purpose....but for the social purpose.  It took a lot of 18 year old punks and got them squared away and 3-4 years later they came out of the military and had their head screwed on right and became productive members of society.

With that being said, I do not see anything in the post about military implications.  My fear is this could turn into Hitler's introductrination peace corps or something to promote a social agenda.  In other words, should these folks not be trained on how to defend this nation....I am totally opposed to the idea.

My guess is like most liberal ideas, there will be all kinds of loopholes so certain folks or privilege can opt out or get special jobs.....like Gore did writing for Stars and Stripes or something, in Vietnam.

I am really concerned about what the real goal of this initiative is.....

regards,
5412

“Barack Obama will require you to work."

"He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation and that you move out of your comfort zone. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage."

"Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual – uninvolved, uninformed – you have to stay at the seat at the table of democracy with a man like Barack Obama not just on Tuesday but in a year from now, in four years from now, in eights years from now, you will have to be engaged.”- Michelle Obama at UCLA

I strongly dislike the idea of women having to register for the draft.  It is one thing to volunteer, but should a young woman with a child be required to go to war?  There are a number of jobs that are female dominated (teaching and child care as examples) that really don't have significant military equivalents, so how would people with those careers in mind transition back into being an employed member of society after serving in the military?  I remember talking to an older man once who served in the Vietnam war, and he was telling me he did not like women serving the military.  He told me that the women and children at home were what he was fighting for, first and foremost, and that it just did not feel right to him to have women serving in the military.  Not very politically correct, but there you have it.

How low would women's rights have to go before you would consider them "unequal" enough that they would not need to register for the draft?

Yes, to me it's no different than a man with a young child at home.  The draft shouldn't bring both parents at the same time, but either one should go.

The same way any number of men that have gone to war and come home and transition back.

Israel has had military conscription for women since 48.  they are even given front line jobs, like maning checkpoints etc.   Mostly however, they get service type jobs.  but like the US, every soldier is a rifleperson.

They have proven to be very effective, but the reality sometimes is very annoying to the soldier.  there is a ton of paper shuffling, and it seems every colnel wants an attractive secretary.

Women do military service for two years, men for three, but everybody is part of the reserves.   Married and pregnent women are excluded from the draft, and you would think lots of women would take this way out.   This seems to be rare.

As to the 0bama scheme, seems like re education camps to me.  Three years of slavery for everybody, all hail the messiah!
