With the exception of The Today Show, I don't think I've ever watched a single episode of any of those shows! I gave up on network TV when 'ER' killed off Dr. Greene. Although what I do know of these programs leads to some amusing scenarios to fit with the mandate...F'instance, what will the gals on Cougar Town be doing? Volunteering at their local Boy's Club?

;D

Maybe, just maybe, this will be a "teachable moment" for a lot of Americans who haven't been paying much attention.

Great post. This is my sincere hope, too.

If you do anything the empty-headed Ashton Kutcher says, you’re already a lost cause.

“HITLER YOUTH ...”

No!

We can take over this - Support for Military Families. And use it to trash king obuma and the leftists non-support of the military.

We can crush leftist secretaries of state for not sending voting ballots to overseas military. We can crucify obuma, on the liberal cross of community service, for not providing decent base housing and good food and transportation and child care. We can speak for the military. This is a golden opportunity to reverse the tables and use Alinsky 101 against the leftists.

Let’s get creative and do it.

"I have always done volunteering. I do not need dear leader to tell me what to do,"

That's because you're a conservative, and conservatives give more in time and in money than liberals. Which is not surprising, since liberals want government to do and organize everything.

I think the serious side of this is that the big networks are allowing themselves to be the propaganda machines for Obummer, the Marxist now posing as a Fascist.

This is just one of the steps now being taken to end freedom of speech.

There will be plenty of “free speech”, but it will be “free” only to the right people.

Our countermove should be, as is suggested up-thread, to volunteer to get conservatives to run and get elected. I have a LOT of energy there.

So, instead of having the unemployed millions Obama has put out of work try and go out and find new (paying) jobs, he wants them to remain dependent on the state and “volunteer”.

Nothing to see here folks - move along quietly now...

Boy, am I happy I don’t watch prime-time TV! The NFL and its stupid breast cancer awareness campaign have been quite enough. The Jefferson Airplane song “Volunteers of America” just jumped into my head.

I agree with your premise. You know what, we have a body to do that sort of thing. It’s called the Republican party. It should have been pushing back every step of the way.

I’m not convinced they don’t know this. I think they know it and have just abdicated the nation to the commies.

Both groups, the Democrats and the Republicans are internationalist fellow travelers with the Socialist cabal. Whether they can see this or not, it winds up being a Marxist Communist effort in the end.

This is why the Republican party is dead to me. They not only don’t fight for ideals I can support, they don’t stand up against the truly destructive efforts of the left.

We’ve been abandoned.

So what really goes on, is a rag tag group of people who love this nation, are tasked with righting this ship of state in opposition to both major political parties. That’s very difficult to do.

Your premise is sound. I agree with you. I do recognize it will have to be done without a formal party leadership though.

We can’t even infiltrate the Republican party and change it back. And that’s the God’s honest truth.
