Obama Jobs Program: The Draft?
January 5, 2009
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: John, Palm Springs, California, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, sir.
CALLER: Hey, Rush, it's always a pleasure. This is the second time in the history of man I've spoken to you.
Let's see, just to not take away from your main themes
but just a quick aside here, if you don't mind me tweaking you and striking a blow for those who are right,
for it to mean something when we're right, and I believe I'm right about this,
your characterization on the --
I know you can't do Shakespeare on the air,
it has to be, you know, for expediency sake, a caricature, I'm well aware of that,
but when you go down south in your mind's eye
and then you put it out of your speech pattern, I think it's a mischaracterization to do, you know,
hicks and out in the boondocks with no hope or no education or no hope for education.
I was watching on the educational channel PBS some weeks ago a show of people that I thought the same of
until halfway through the show I discovered they were farmers up in Maine.
I think these hicks, as you described them-- RUSH: How long have you been listening to this program?
CALLER: Oh, no, sir, sir, forever, trust me.
I'm not on my high horse and I'm not bent out of shape.
RUSH: John, John, really,
it breaks my heart, it can't be true.
You are making the point,
and I must be honest Mr. Snerdley took your call for that very reason.
You are making the point I just made about Barack Obama.
It is not I who calls people from the south
It is not I who think that they are It is not I who think they are It is not I who think that they're nothing more than It is not I who think their only way out of their dire circumstances That's how liberal Democrats portray them,
and that's precisely what I said.
Why is hearing context so difficult?
For those of you just tuning in, let me give you the story again. Barack Obama says he's gonna create three million new jobs, 80% in the private sector, which means 20% will be government jobs.
That's 600,000 government jobs.
Where is he going to be able to do that real quick?Where could you do this in a matter of months?I said you could reinstitute the draft.
And why not institute the draft if you're Obama, who is a Democrat.
Democrats believe that people who live in the south
and in poor economic circumstances have no way out of those circumstances other than join the military.
Don't you remember? People who join the military are not patriots; they're stupid,
they're uneducated,
they're economically depressed,
they live in these little hick town shacks like Obama's brother,
and they have no chance to get out other than join the military.
And that's why they do it, not to protect their country.
These people are besmirched and impugned by Democrats in the Drive-By Media,
and I was simply saying since that's what they already think of them,
why not institute the draft and spare them the trouble of having to sign up?
Just conscript them.
It is not I who think that way of those people.
I don't think that way of any American.
It's liberal Democrats who have contempt for the average American, not me. END TRANSCRIPT

Okay my
ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY friends ...
PAY ATTENTION!!!Retire now, or don't re-enlist,
unless you want to be STOP-LOSSed,
and become slaves to the Obama Administration.
Four years is a long time to be trapped under contempt.

I'd probably get a spiffy uniform and everything.

Obama and a draft is scary. I expect that would be turned into a political indoctrination scheme.
To: SIDENET
I'll also get real food when all those "suckas" are standing in bread lines.
I've seen how this works.

No draft, just lower standards.
Think WPA with guns.
The military is a wonderful place to administer welfare. It can’t becriticized.

Obamacrat's govenment (FDR style): Nice, sweet smile with a hand out, "I'm here to help you..."
Wait a minute what's in that other hand behind his back? Looks like an IRS Indictment along with a hammer and sickle...

We need to reinstitute the draft. But we need to do it better than before.
Rather than a lottery, your draft number will be your family’s IRS Form 1040 Gross Income line. Highest numbers first.
These conscripts would then be available not only for Obama’s no-win wars, like Clinton’s Bosnia and Somalia, but also for numerous public works projects in the USA. That would solve the military’s needs and provide the labor force for all the infrastructure projects. And it would teach the elites and their kids some humility.
We should also make that service a precondition for elective office.

Rush is, in fact, exploring a serious subject, and the reasons and evidence to support such a theory.
Every socialist dictator/genocider has had an elite, select cadre of enforcement personnel loyal only to the dictator, that stole absolute power from a larger body of leftists.
However, it was not the draft that got them, but the perks.
