'GIVE' creating youth brigades?
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | April 12, 2009 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 04/12/2009 4:36:12 AM PDT by Man50D

Supporters of an Americorps expansion plan pending in Congress laud its efforts to "leverage" federal dollars to boost state, local and other resources to "address national and local challenges," while critics say its fine print secretly would create an "Obama-styled army of community organizers modeled after Saul Alinsky's 'Peoples Organizations.'" So which is it?

In an era in which Congress can approve thousands of pages of legislation spending hundreds of billions of dollars without reading the proposal, there seems to be no definitive answer on what some of the vague language of H.R. 1388 means.

But there is enough in the "GIVE Act," now awaiting a conference committee in Congress after being approved by both the U.S. House and Senate, to cause critics to shiver.

For example, it certainly imposes a requirement for public service on some people, even though its original much-feared study on mandatory service for all was moved to another bill during congressional debate.

For example, it states those in an "approved national service position" may not try to influence legislation, engage in protests or petitions, take positions on union organizing, engage in partisan political activities, or, among other issues, be "engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of proselytization."

Hitler also had youth organizers...called his; "Youth Army!"

While I don’t support this bill in any manner, the part you note in your post I totally agree with.

I don’t want one group of Christians trying to convert others to their beliefs on the taxpayers dime.

Or people using taxpayer dollars to protest or support a bill.

This law however will be used to re-educate our youth in to good little fascists.

I see Christain youths being forced to work in abortion clinics, being re-educated against their Christain beliefs.

And the requirement for ALL to serve is hidden in a second bill.

I am too old to be re-educated and way too stupid.

I will not go quitely into this long dark night.

You miss the point of this bill. It is meant to be so broad and encompassing as to stifle dissent of the people against socialism. It is anathema not only to the first amendment but in general to what our founding fathers intended when they wrote the Constitution.

No, I do understand the purpose and full meaning and intent of this bill.

We are at the final stages of the course our nation is on. If we succumb it will mean years of darkness and slavery for not just America buy the world.

We stand at the “Hot Gates” just like the 300, will we stand and fight for freedom or go quitely into this long dark night is the question?

The world my friend is watching what we do!

I and my family choose freedom.

I want my kids to have the same exemptions and choices as children of the elite, if this comes to pass.

This echoes why my and DH’s families left Germany in the late 1800s — they did not want their children to serve the Kaiser.

Job one for this group will be to assist ACORN in conducting its phony census taking. Note the prohibition on engaging in politics would also prevent members from protesting what they are ordered to do. This group is Obama’s Red Guard who will lead his cultural revolution.

Ding, ding, ding. we have a winner.

Behold the Hitler Youth Corps.

Our nation will be run by fascists, The Nation of Islam will comprise his National Security Force along with ACORN.

Calling the fascists in congress will not stop this bill.

“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to preserve their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them” SP

Just like Jesus had to make a whip and in his most violent act recorded in the Bible he over threw the tables in the temple and whipped the money changers. We must do the same here in God’s heavenly church on earth.

Everything is just pedal to the metal, and not enough Rs or decent ones to stop anything.

They will use troubled young adults that find themselves in trouble with the law and make this youth brigade a mandated punishment to expand their Red Army. The worst of the worst will be members. *Obama’s Youth Brigade*

Should be called ‘America’s Brown Shirt Act of 2009’.

What a person does in their free time is of no concern or consequence to the federal government unless it is illegal. They are using a mandatory voluntary prgrogram to squash free speech and freedom of religion in one fell swooth.

These fascists are interested in one thing only and that is the fundamental transformation of this nation away from the constitutional republic it is, founded on unalienable rights and liberties.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the info, you are preaching to the choir here.

It is voluntary, I volunteer you to serve, that is how it works.

Try reading closer. It doesn't say anything about while on the taxpayer's dime.

We will see the first of the Brown Short machinations in the run up to the 2010 elections, and after that, they will come on like gang busters.

Push will come to shove in the streets after the Brown Shorts begin their neighborhood watch program under the guise of "envirinmental cleanuo" and " community organizing."

Say good bye to your privacy and freedom of speech. Any anti Obama signage will be treated as insurrection, with a hot line from your local " GIVE" office straight to Home;and Security and the SS.

Will people take it in their communities. How Americans react to the comong fake census will tell the tale.

THe TPs are a good start, although the MSM is quick to castigate Rush as fringe , and nutty , as well as the rest of us who are anti-Obama. But the press aoids the issues we have raised like the plague, because they ARE cogent issues.

But that tide will turn. Zero is bound to show an ugly side, and it will come out, despite his staff's spin efforts to mold his image. ( He didn't bow, he just tripped etc.)Its a waiting game we will win as we organize to fight this fascist , under handed, back door legislation, non president.

Zero is all hat and no cattle. A recipe for disaster if there ever was one. Soon his A$$ will be between a rock and a hard place, and America will see the true Zero.
