And add to that weekly drug tests for the Volunteer Welfare Army.

democrats don’t believe poor people have anything to offer society besides their vote.

by this administration. I admit that on surface its not much more than a waste to expand Americorps. But consider the following:

- the youtube clip from the campaign was the only instance he mentioned a civilian force. His advisors then told him not to mention that again.

- On his own website (change.gov), there was wording that said service would be “required” (see wnd link below), then was later changed.

From the stimulous bill (i.e., socialization of America bill), to the Son of the Fairness Doctrine (Durbin Amendment), everything this man does is dishonest, deceitful, and hostile to principles of individual rights and capitalism. So yes, I’m very concerned about this bill in the context of everything leading up to it.

This is the bunch that values power seizure over good of the country… the group did everything it could to lose the Iraq war because it saw that as an avenue to being elected.

I fear this won’t be Americorps on steroids so much as ACORN on steroids.

I’d feel much better if there was a “volunteer for military service” option.

How much is truly voluntary? Are there provisions to force people to “volunteer”?

A massively expanded VISTA or Americorps or anything like that could end up creating a two-sided populace–those who “volunteered,” and those who were “selfish” and did things like go to college or go to work or even go on church missions.

With an out-of-control budget, why are we doing ANYTHING new that will add more expense?

A quote from Michael Shreuer: We are suffering under a “tyranny of incompetence.”

Be prepared for not the Americorps, but the Carter Years on steroids.

then they can tell us what it is really about AFTER the vote. Also, and more important imo is that they are just trying to set precedent. Once we accept the idea of some Federal civilian force and education “re-education” camps the camel wil have his nose under the tent.

It is very important that we focus not always on the details of a new law, but the precedent it sets for increasing federal power over our lives. For example, some think we saw this weak taxes go up even further on tobacco and some bad guys won’t get huge bonuses. What we really saw was the precedent that the feds can shake down any group they want and use taxation as a weapon against their domestic enemies.

Just the rebellion at the state level, with two dozen state legislatures trying to reassert their rights, shows that the Demoncrats have stirred a hornets’ nest.

I am a little disappointed in the results, though. There was a big flourish, with positive results, about a month ago, but I haven’t heard more since.

In Montana, though, I’m proud to say we’ve struck a blow both for the real America and for the Second Amendment.

The Supreme Court, or should I say Obama’s Supplicant Court, once packed, will no doubt violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights, but for the present, it’s a victory.

The reason the left gets so screwed up is their basic assumption that the ends justify the means. This leads them to shoot from the hip to artificially product a result, most of the time discriminating against one group in favor of another and having unintended consequences.

I see the fundamental difference between lib and con is lib is ends justify the means and cons believe in setting fair rules and let everyone be responsible for their own outcome.
