Does Americorps = Hitler Youth?

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Well it appears the Obamafuhrer is pointing it in that direction. Take a gander at this article and some of the new requirements being floated.

a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people.”

Excuse me? Mandatory service? In my book that is nothing more than forced slavery.

It anticipates the possibility of requiring “all individuals in the United States” to perform such service – including elementary school students. 

So what if I don’t want to do this mandatory service? Will there be fines? Jail time?

The bill also summons up unsettling memories of World War II-era paramilitary groups by saying  the new program should “combine the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service,” while establishing “campuses” that serve as “operational headquarters,” complete with “superintendents” and “uniforms” for all participants. It allows for the elimination of all age restrictions in order to involve Americans at all stages of life. And it calls for creation of “a permanent cadre” in a “National Community Civilian Corps.”

Tha paragraph should give pause to all Americans who care about freedom. I thought is was Bushitler that was going to create a fascist regime, sending people to re-education camps, turning the country in to religious fundamentalist totalitarian country? I knew he wasn’t but I bet you didn’t think The Messiah would try. The only difference is the religion of the left is unfettered government intrusion to all aspects of life. Hey Ma, I was just down at the “operational HQ”, look at these cool brown shirts the “cadre” is letting us wear. So spiffy, I like the armband the best.

But that’s not all. The bill also calls for “youth engagement zones” in which “service learning” is “a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.” This updated form of voluntary community service is also to be “integrated into the science, technology, engineering and mathematics curricula” at all levels of schooling. 

I love the way the left twists the meaning of words around  in an Orwellian Newspeak fashion to make it sound innocuous and harmless. Like undocumented worker instead of illegal alien. I know some of you will say it’s voluntary but something can’t be voluntary AND mandatory at the same time.  In this case “Service learning” is nothing more than indoctrination, plain and simple.

“War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.”

Kuku ye shevid obaqala

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

I’m so sorry googling “Kuku ye shevid obaqala” does not lead any results for the intertube impaired. Is it possible that Google is racist against towel head dishes? Let’s say a friend, we will call her Jennifer Saltmarsh-Manullang, not her real name, because who would choose a name like that? I mean honestly, you can’t make that shiite up. Ok, back to whatever the freck I was saying. It appears there is some paranoia running rampant down around the corner. She has accused Moi of trying to punk her by slipping some nafarious ingredients in one of my famous Persian dishes. Naughty, naughty Jennifer Saltmarsh-Manullang, not her real name, I dare say why would I taint something that I will probably be eating the entier 8 x 8 pyrex dish filled with gastronomic nirvana as a prank? Fear not, I’m preparing the gourmet masterpiece tonight and plan on sharing with Jennifer Saltmarsh-Manullang, not her real name. Why would I want to punk her by sabotaging greatness with the outcome probably ending up with me having to care for her 2 dear ones? Again!

What don’t they just tax people’s shoes?

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Evidently, some bright representative’s from the progressive state of Oregon has found a new way to squeeze more money out of the already over-taxed citizenry. Don’t you think I pick on only Democrap’s around here, I’m an equal opportunity hater of any of these clowns regardless of party affiliation. The fact they know the bill will go nowhere yet still offer it up just to get a bit more moola out of us is disgusting. $54 every 2 years to register each bike if you are an adult. In my house that would equate to a $270 bill. I don’t even pay that much in car registration. Damn, I shouldn’t have said that. It might give these yahoo’s ideas.
