'GIVE' creating youth brigades?

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.

Please see post number 22. The fruits of all this will be an angry, violent backlash.

We are well past seedlings, it’s more like the powder keg is only awiting the spark that lights the fuse.

Obama the number one firearm salesman in America.

What lights the fuse remains to be seen. My guess is that at some point tax protesters will be fired upon by people in the soon to be revealed National Security Forces.

Also what comes to mind is Iran, when they sent all those kids to the Iraq border with very minimum fire power, and how they got wiped out. But the Iran Army stayed back.

Yep and it is ONLY a matter of time that the first shots of the second civil war will come from what you discribed.
