Gateway Pundit writes this morning that Obama has outlined his plan to indoctinate the children into community service (so they, too, can be President someday) by requiring 50 hours every year for elementary and high school students and 100 hours every year for college students. Again, more examples of what IS NOT charity - government-mandated work is not service to the community.

"...The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America,..."
Rahm Emanuel is on the same page it seems, and has been for a while...
How ironic is it that for all of the psychotic fear mongering the left engaged in 2004 over the draft, Barack Obama has just chosen a chief of staff who legitimately supports a plan to send 18-25 year olds into compulsory service.
This is an excerpt from Emanuel's 2006 tome, "The Plan: Big Ideas for America", or what Emanuel calls "The Real Patriot Act"

Universal Citizen Service
"...If you forget everything else you read in these pages, please remember this: The Plan starts with you. If your leaders aren't challenging you to do your part, they aren't doing theirs. We need a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us by establishing, for the first time, an ethic of universal citizen service..."
"...Here's how it would work. Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service. They'll be asked to report for three months of basic civil defense training in their state or community, where they will learn what to do in the event of biochemical, nuclear or conventional attack; how to assist others in an evacuation; how to respond when a levee breaks or we're hit by a natural disaster. These young people will be available to address their communities' most pressing needs..."
What do I have against "community service"? Nothing. Anyone who volunteers their time is an exceptional person and commands my respect. We use our dogs for many different kinds of SAR, US&R and CTT tracking for missing persons. But forced service? In the name of the community? It's nothing short of collectivism - it assumes that we're all the same, that we all just lay around watching TV and playing video games. That we all react the same way to the blessings of the Obama Messiah.
And what happens when the shine wears off the new program - when people stop showing up for their mandatory charity? Fines? Jail time? Re-education camps? Another aspect of our lives regulated? Will we then have to form an enforcement agency and a network of tattletales to inform on shirkers?
What the hell have we created here?
