The 13th amendment specifically states:
Amendment XIII
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Obama’s brown shirts?
Obama Youth Corps!
We shall march to the East!
Proving, I suppose, that Democrats’ only real objection to slavery is reserved for cases where it is not racially diverse, and the slaves are privately owned.
They could just adopt ACORN and save a lot of time. s/
They might want to reread Amendment 2 before trying to erase 13.
What a way with words they have! Doesn’t “volunteerism” lose its meaning when it becomes “mandatory?” Perhaps we should coin a new word . . . . . how about “mandateerism?”
“mandatory service” is another word for “forced conscription” or perhaps “involuntary servitude”. the bottom line “Slavery” with treh government as the master.
Ping.
Unconstitutional. Doesn’t mean 0bama et.al. won’t implement it.
Indentured Servitude. - An indentured servant is a form of debt bondage worker. The laborer is under contract of an employer for usually three to seven years, in exchange for their transportation, food, drink, clothing, lodging and other necessities. Unlike a slave, an indentured servant is required to work only for a limited term specified in a signed contract.

FK THAT! It should be enrage the social fabric of the Nation and create civil unrest by trying to force together the gang members, crack whores, illegals and middle and upper class American’s.
Conscripting middle class kids and sending them into the war zone of Detroit to strenghten the "social fabric".
Obviously he is doing all of these things and there isn’t much fuss about it except on blogs. He is deranged, drunk with power and determined we will have Communism.
And we just keep physically taking it...
Komsomol Ping!
