Michelle's Boot Camps For Radicals
IBD Editorials ^ | September 4, 2008

Posted on 09/04/2008 5:17:57 PM PDT by Kaslin

Election '08: Democrats' reintroduction of militant Michelle Obama in Denver was supposed to show her softer side. But it only highlighted a radical part of her resume: Public Allies.


Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993. Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."

Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas. They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they'll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of "social change."

The pitch Public Allies makes on its Web site doesn't seem all that radical. It promises to place young adults (18-30) in paid one-year "community leadership" positions with nonprofit or government agencies. They'll also be required to attend weekly training workshops and three retreats.

In exchange, they'll get a monthly stipend of up to $1,800, plus paid health and child care. They also get a post-service education award of $4,725 that can be used to pay off past student loans or fund future education.

The danger that this man and his cohorts pose is almost beyond calculation. Thank God for McCain and Palin!

Yeah, one thing we need in America is "community organizers"...

The US Public Health Service tries to eliminate parasites and look what they're doing, growing more.

"Universal Voluntary Public Service."

'Universal" and "Voluntary" do not belong in the same description. Unless the re-definitions have moved well beyond "is."

So I guess a community organizer does have responsibilities: promoting social unrest.

“Unless the re-definitions have moved well beyond “is.” “

That’s why that aricle earlier today about not electing any more lawyers was spot on.

Of course, Michelle will not want us to wear Mao suits or Hillary pantsuits. She could not give up her $800 Jimmy Choo shoe collection and her kids could not give up their Prada backpacks

Why don’t they just lower prices?

I saw a video clip of Michelle today giving some speech. Her hair and face were hangdog and she had no or very little makeup on. I think Sarah has affected her. LOL

It is kind of like some of the local schools requiring a year of mandatory "volutary service" to graduate high school.

Darn, I was hoping it was Michelle Malkin with a plan to put radicals in boot camp.
