One blogging group in particular is the PUMAs.
What would happen if a power-hungry President were to play tricks with the draft? Could he use the draft as an excuse to:
1. Use draftees for slave labor [in the name of 'civil service']?
2. Put adults from age 18 to 41 into reeducation camps?
These are the kinds of things that PUMAs and other bloggers fear.
What first fueled this concern was Michelle Obama in a California speech:
"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, that you move out of your comfort zone . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual - uninvolved, uninformed."

This is going to be our new First Lady? She's eager for her husband to force us to work [his way] and to be informed [his way]. It certainly sounds like slave labor and reeducation. What, pray tell, did her husband tell her? What other mechanism would a president Obama have than the draft itself? It sounds far fetched, but since Obama is hiding the details, what are we left to conjecture?
The clincher was Joe Biden's ominous warning:
1. A manufactured crisis within six months
2. Solutions that will cause Obama's poll ratings to plummet.
"Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
Here's a little more of what Biden said:
“There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don’t know about that decision’,” Biden continued. “Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”
That was the last straw for some PUMAs. They smell a rat. I can't blame them. Guess who said this?
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis..." -- David Rockefeller.
PUMAs are beginning to to take notice of a Obama comment on military service at Columbia: “If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some.” They also noticed that Obama wants females included in the draft.
Then there was this: "I will call on a new generation of Americans to join our military.... I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots, and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their efforts connected to a common purpose."
Here is a list of blogs trying to make sense of it all:

They fear Obama having the power of the draft. Should we?
Another website has put a lot of thought in this concern: http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/08/1-service.htm
And guess what name pops up? Bill Ayers. Ayers shifted from terrorism to radical indoctrination of youth through education. [That's professor material in many of today's universities.]
Bill Ayers has been practicing how to radicalize students for a long time now. It's clearly a passion of his.
Maybe these dots don't connect, but more people all the time are beginning to think they do.
Doesn’t he have plans for all of us to do mandatory volunteerism or some such thing? I am curious as to who will be exempted from service.
Sounds to me like some “anonymous, hard working researcher” needs to lay off the pipe for a few months.
Ping.
Well he did say he would put two million Americans to work on infrastructure. (Autobahn)
"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, that you move out of your comfort zone . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual - uninvolved, uninformed
THIS SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME!
What is thie crap?
That’s what Michelle Obama said. We would be REQUIRED to work and to be informed [his way].
Between Michelle Obama [we’ll be REQUIRED] and Biden’s ‘Tested’ gaffe, a lot of people are beginning to wonder.
>Doesn’t he have plans for all of us to do mandatory volunteerism or some such thing? I am curious as to who will be exempted from service.
Doesn’t this read like a strip from Dilbert?
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
-Barak Obama, July 2, 2008 in Colorado Springs

“I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots”
Thank you, FRiend.
What is a civilian national security force?
How would it operate if nobody can have a gun?
That’s nice. So, the GOP will be back in Congress in two years and Comrade Zero will be only a bad taste on the lips of his worshippers after four.
You do know about passive resistance, protest marches, blue flu days, work slowdowns, and the like. It also works for conservatives.
Barrack Hussein 0Bama will have the CCCP
(Communist Conformation Corp Police) based
on ACORN and the Weathermen.
