Michelle's Boot Camps For Radicals

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.

"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." "

You mean, like an Ivy League college?

Glenn Beck now reading this article. Go to website, go to FAQ on Senator Barak and Michelle Obama-check out last paragraph.....

[palomonte]

step 2 - convicted criminals get their choice of going to jail or serving in the OVPS.

I am listening to Glen Beck right now about this..The republicans had better bring this to light to the American public..Eveyone here that reads this should copy and paste it and send to their email list..Those two scared the mess out of me anyway..

[uvular]

Also go to FAQ on Barak and Michelle Obama on the website. The last paragraph touts McCain being for public service and wanting to increase Americorps funds 200%. McCain better address this too, and if false, they better take it down from website...

[PLD]

I’ll go see it..Thanks!

[PGalt]

Thanks very much for the ping; post; links.

Glenn Beck talked about this on his radio show in the last hour.

First I have ever heard about this particular collective.

Alinsky method of operation...

BUMP! BUMP! BUMP!

Obama wants to fully fund it and expand it into a national program that some see costing $500 billion. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the military, he said.
Gee Comrade Obama, why is that (you lousy, stinkin', pinko-commie, America hating Marxist)?

[IndianPrincessOK]

did you get this Syl?

This needs to be repeated! It’s important for all of us to read.

"Barack Obama will require you to work.
[Like Stalin requiring you to work - no making money from "idle capital".]

He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions.
[Ah! Divisions - things that make cultures different, ie, you must give up the values that you deem important.]

That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones.
[Again, no individualism for you, you're required to join the collective.]

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."
[More of the "allow" and force to make you join the collective.]

Got it and thanks!

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

That's how she always looks, IMO.

[freekitty]

But, this after her makeover and special lighting. She looked awful. I imagine they weren’t planning on Sarah Palin.

[Albion Wilde]

You’re probably quite right. She is not a seasoned politician, and the truth as others see it about her idol/husband is probably very painful. She will need to toughen up plenty, no matter what lies ahead.
