Then back up, and do it again.

FReepers, tea party attendees, conservatives in general, should be encouraged to infiltrate every one of these organizations, just as lefties have infiltrated virtually every other institution in America, to monitor them and to attempt to seize control of their governing bodies.

Meanwhile, we should organize and fund legal shock troops to start suit against these organizations everywhere possible, just as lefties have frustrated drilling and other legitimate business operations in the name of the environment.

In short, we should mobilize Saul Alinsky and hurl him at the enemy.

I’m volunteering to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

(How do you like them apples, Obama.)

[concerned about politics]

I Participate Campaign will animate the public to find more ways to give back.

We've done, and are doing, 100X more than our fair share. We pay taxes. If anything, the community owes us.

Make the Welfare crowd pick up the garbage on the street. At least they'd be doing something to earn their keep. If Oboma is talking about them, fine. Just don't bother us with this nonsense.

[keats5]

I’ve noticed a huge increase in yard signs in my neighborhood touting the names of prominent local Christians. These people are very conservative. They are running for almost every local office, and they are all first timers.

I’m guessing they will get elected, too, because they have been involved in PTA, school fundraisers and running our local businesses for years. People know and like them, regardless of their politics.

We are infiltrating.

It hit the Comic Strips yesterday!

...scripted programming...

NewSpeak for PROPAGANDA!

"Through I PARTICIPATE, the entertainment community will generate new enthusiasm about volunteering, and when people look for ways to do that in their own communities, the Cities of Service coalition will provide them."

WAIT!!! just a gol-darned MINUTE here!

I thought the TV doesn't have any INFLUENCE on how people think and align their lives???

[Elsie]

...and causes that need our help.

Re-elect OBAMA in '12!!!

When was the last time you saw a welfare family raking leaves in the park or washing store windows for the good of the community?
The democrat base is all for this as long as other people are doing the volunteering.
We can't get the democrat base to work for money. Oboma expects these freeloaders to get out and work for free???
Ain't gonna happen. He's peeing in the wind.

You don't think nefariously enough. Zer0 expects it to fail. Then he can use the coercion of the govt to force them into menial labor through mandatory govt "volunteerism."

The active phrase here being "mandatory volunteerism."

[Elsie]

...sending a message to his 3.5 million Twitter followers, urging them...

"Fly my pretties, fly"

[paulycy]

True volunteers will overcome.

[nathanbedford]

I disagree. They will find a way to get you and me to pay their useful idiots. If nothing more to give them a purple shirt.

The point is not to rake leaves but to wrest control away from the Libs.

"Today is an exciting day for service in America," said Mayor Bloomberg. "These two distinct initiatives - bound by their common commitment to increase community service and volunteerism in America - represent a significant step in realizing the goals of the bipartisan Edward M Kennedy Serve America Act. The Entertainment Industry Foundation's I Participate Campaign will animate the public to find more ways to give back. And the Cities of Service coalition will harness that newfound energy and put it to good use."

Democrat voters aren't democrats because they want to work and support their families. They're democrats so they never have to get out of bed in the morning - ever. They want their free ride.
Imagine the welfare bases outrage if he forces them to work. They're going to be pi$$ed if they have to labor like everyone else. Democrat support would dwindle down to nothing. No free ride = no votes.
Unemployment is a democrats life style choice.

[paulycy]

Unemployment is a democrats life style choice.

I'm not disputing you. :0)

My reaction comes from the threads talking about the compulsory "volunteerism" that all high school and college kids are going to be forced to do. 0bama has already announced it but no bills are pending yet AFAIK.

[FreedomGuru]

I volunteer to spread the real truth about 0bama.

What a bunch of crapola coming from the entertainment indudtry.
Hey entertainers shut up and entertain.

This will get a lot of families to home school or use a private school. That's a good thing, but a lot of kids are going to be forced into his Hitleresk army anyway, for sure. I feel sorry for those kids, but their parents voted for "change", right?

I can't help but agree with RUSH. Sometimes bad things happen for a good reason. Obomas poll numbers just keep going down. The more he does, the worse his numbers get. Maybe, just maybe, this will be a "teachable moment" for a lot of Americans who haven't been paying much attention.

America doesn't want to be community organized. Most people are fine without it. Not everyone is a welfare slug. They've got a life. The democrat politicians have contact with democrat voters only. They have no idea there are self regulating, accountable, normal people in this country. They think everyone is as dumb and useless as their base. They've never met the rest of us, yet they're treating all Americans like democrats. That's offensive to millions of American voters.
