The selection of Rahm Emanuel, the Illinois congressman and Democratic apparatchik, as President-Elect Barack Obama's chief of staff, has raised a few eyebrows -- at least partially because of Emanuel's advocacy of a civilian draft. That plan for "universal civilian service" would press Americans aged 18 to 25 into government service for a minimum of three months...I hope they actually try to do this. Can you imagine the reaction from the young Obamanoids when they realize change applies to them, personally? That it's not just taking from the greedy pig you hate to give to people you want cred as being in sympathy with...?
So much for a woman--or man--being able to choose what they do with their body, and it being none of the government's business. Well, that's not quite fair--they can choose from the mandatory options provided.
And who could conscientiously object to lightworki...uh...community organizing?
I don't remember which blog it was, but someone else referenced this same issue and appropriately responded...

Not my gradddaughters, either. It'll be worth lives.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it'll be a condition for graduating from high school or college, getting a driver's license, a job, and on and on. My advice will be trade school, drive without a license until you get arrested, and then we'll have a "party," if the Overseers want to push it that far.
So many people are on The Edge about so many things. Go ahead, socialists, try to put one more worm in the can.
They're not content with forcing us to pay money for ill-thought-out programs, now they want us to participate in furthering goals we abhor? Give me liberty, or don't be between me and it.
A letter to the editor in today's paper takes an editorial writer to task for suggesting that Obama and Co.'s conscription is servitude. The letter writer says he was drafted into World War II, but everyone was PROUD to serve.
ReplyDeleteIf he was so proud, why did he wait to be drafted; why didn't he volunteer?
Anyway, there's no comparison. In the '40s people knew what the other side wanted and what our side wanted. It was clear who were the bad guys.
They were the ones who hated individuality and self-determination. Who wanted to tell everyone what to do because they knew what was best for the collective.
