Obama's Change Includes Government Funded Re-Education Camps email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 49/100. Destiny007 (4555)1 year ago

Obama recently talked of a massive "civilian national security force" to rival that of the military in size, strength and funding.

The model for this new civilian group is none other than an outfit called Public Allies which Obama helped found and that his wife is now Executive Director of.

What it actually does is train activists and protesters.

Read all about it ...

Yeah, when I read it I could tell it was a Republican, er 'conservative,' website, where no Democrat, er 'liberal,' could every be right about anything or ever have a good idea. And read the beginning; it was cited as a "probable" model. This website has a horse in this reace, and it's betting hard on it. It's anything but an unbiased website.


myLot reputation of 49/100. Destiny007 (4555)  1 year ago

No liberal, or COMMUNIST can ever be right about anything, as has been proven time and again throughout history.

Show me an unbiased liberal website....

That's right, thar ain't none.

As Bugs Bunny would say "What a maroon!!!"


myLot reputation of 49/100. Destiny007 (4555)  1 year ago

A maroon would be anyone voting democrat...

"No liberal, or COMMUNIST can ever be right about anything, as has been proven time and again throughout history"

Where's your proof, sparky?


myLot reputation of 49/100. Destiny007 (4555)  1 year ago

Check your history, it is full of examples of failed socialism.... not to mention the many millions killed because of it.

When history is not heeded it will repeat itself.

Any fool knows that, and since you don't seem to know it, well the conclusion is quite obvious...




myLot reputation of 39/100. avranesjr (771)  1 year ago

"No liberal, or COMMUNIST can ever be right about anything, as has been proven time and again throughout history"

Maybe you ought to learn to read first, sparky, before you throw your neanderthal insults at someone else. First, read what you posted earlier above; you mentioned no liberal, or COMMUNIST can ever be right about anything .....
And now you're mentioning socialism. There is a difference between liberalism, communism, and socialism.
Any fool knows that, and since YOU don't seem to know it, well the conclusion is quite obvious...

Open mouth, insert foot, sparky!


myLot reputation of 39/100. avranesjr (771)  1 year ago

Show me an unbiased right-wing website....

That's right, thar ain't none, to paraphrase you, although I wouldn't use such bad grammar and spelling.

My children will not be participating in Obama's version of the Hitler Youth.

I am a huge proponent of volunteerism, but I will not be a part of Obama's socialist vision. I will do everything my power to fight it if he's elected.

People think this country is divided now? This is nothing compared to what will happen if Obama is elected and tries to implement his forced volunteerism.


myLot reputation of 49/100. Destiny007 (4555)  1 year ago

History does tend to repeat itself if it is ignored...

Did you see RYBD's discussion where Obama admits to being a Muslim on video?


myLot reputation of 47/100. sndcain36 (2667)  1 year ago

OMG no....do you have a link?


myLot reputation of 49/100. Destiny007 (4555)  1 year ago

Well, I was going to send the link, but when I went to the discussion in question you had already responded to it, so there was no point.

Obama seems to be his own worst nightmare.


myLot reputation of 82/100. debrakcarey (1351)  7 months ago

I have heard many comparisons of Obama to Hitler. I tend to agree with them. One was on narcissism!? It was quite interesting, actually. Wish I'd saved the link. I bet if you googled 'narcissism' you could find it. I think it had to do with a psychology site...and a lot to do with Hitler.

My opinion on this is that why get so upset? We send our kids to public schools already. They don't teach civics or the meat of history there. They don't inspire our kids to be proud of their country or respect their parents. They don't teach them values, morals, responsibility or accountability or patriotism. But rather teach them 'tolerance' and 'situational ethics' and their own version of history. So...their ripe for this..unless they have parents who teach them the truth about history and that some things just shouldn't be tolerated.

I guess what I'm saying is they have been at this business of 'change' longer than just a few years...and just as many Republicans have been active in the cause as Democrats.

redyellowblackdog's re-education program.

All government programs consume resources and produce very little benefit except to government beaurcrats.

There you go. All the re-education anyone needs.

Savings to the US TAXPAYER?

Inestimable to the point of being PRICELESS.


myLot reputation of 49/100. Destiny007 (4555)  1 year ago

Absolutely, and the cost to American's if it happens would be astronomically inestimable.

How very Orwellian. Scary stuff!
I WILL use those guns I am apparently clinging to if anyone tries to force my children or myself into one of those brainwashing programs.
If this nightmare scenario were to come to fruition, I predict a huge revolt from sane and patriotic freedom loving Americans.

So, what exactly is wrong with being an activist or a protester? I don't mean those that get violent, I don't advocate that type of "activism" for one minute but I think it would be great if we had more young people who did become activists in causes they believe in and without peaceful protest things seldom ever change.

myLot reputation of 85/100. chameleonsdream (809)  1 year ago

Annie, Annie, Annie! What a radical thought! The Founding Fathers were activists for a cause in which they believed and just look what they brought about. Activism is dangerous - it leads people to think for themselves and decide whether or not the government is acting in their best interests, and if it is not, to support candidates that will work in their best interests as elected officials are supposed to do. It encourages them to look at what's not working and figure out ways to make it work. Activism is scary because it questions the status quo and challenges us all to work together to create a world in which we want to live.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mehale (1302)  1 year ago

Amen! Well said.


myLot reputation of 49/100. Destiny007 (4555)  1 year ago

On the surface nothing... however it is when you get to the anti-American pro-Communist activism that Obama is calling for... then it becomes a big problem.

When you consider the fact that Obama is heavily represented and supportive of ACORN and all the illegalities associated with that organization and others like it, then the reality of his goals shows through.

When you look into Obama's background and history, and see who he has surrounded himself with, and see where he is coming from, then you can see what he is trying to do... and it isn't good for America.

The signature program for Public Allies is the Americorps volunteer program. In our community, Americorps kids have cleaned up public parks, staffed summer programs that teach kids really radical things like how to swim and why it's important to stay in school. They work in after school programs that tutor kids in school subjects, staff community centers that give small businessmen access to computers and teach them how to use accounting software to make their businesses more successful. They help serve meals at the shelter for homeless veterans and work with homeless vets to help them get medical treatment, jobs and housing. Now there's a REAL un-American activity - helping the homeless veterans who fought for our freedom and fell through the cracks in our great system.

Oh, and they teach kids how to actually do their own research on political candidates, look beyond what the media is telling them, read their voting records and make their decisions based on an educated understanding of the candidate's position. What a RADICAL concept that is - a government elected by an educated populace who understand the problems that they face and choose representatives who will represent them fairly in making laws.


myLot reputation of 49/100. Destiny007 (4555)  1 year ago

So what exactly is your point in the context of this article?

The Hitler Youth and the Mussolini Brownshirts had some fine points as well, but the dd not detract from the reality that it was all based on a flawed premise.

I suggest you read the linked article again, and then tell me how you think that article even comes close to the things that you are talking about, especially in light of the fact that ACORN is also one of Obama's favorite organizations.


myLot reputation of 85/100. chameleonsdream (809)  1 year ago

Then you may as well lump George Bush Sr. in there with Mussolini and Hitler, since he's the one who praised Public Allies and used them as part of the framework for the Americorps youth volunteer program. I had never even heard of Public Allies till you pointed out that article - which I read from start to finish despite the fact that the flashing ads for deceptive products on that page slowed my computer to a literal crawl. I do, however, know Americorps well. The kids who join Americorps commit to working full time in community service positions in return for a stipend of $1,800 a month. They make a time commitment (I'm not sure if it's one year or two years off the top of my head), and many commit to mentoring incoming Vista and Americorps workers.

They do things like help build houses for Habitat for Humanity, work at community food banks and provide after school homework help for kids. My daughter and her best friend both were part of Americorps - one of them worked in a subsidized day care that provided day care for mothers transitioning off welfare and into the work force; the other worked in an inner city youth program whose focus was teaching kids how to deconstruct media messages, including advertising and main stream media political coverage.

I respect your point of view even if I'm in complete disagreement with it, and I won't belittle you by suggesting that you actually do some research beyond that one site on what Americorps really is.


myLot reputation of 82/100. debrakcarey (1351)  7 months ago

It is all that 'good' stuff within the program that will lull parents into allowing their children to be involved. If you haven't noticed...most of the government programs 'sound' good until their operational. I mean...who doesn't think our retired folks should be taken care of? And who doesn't think poor children should be fed? Now that we have WELFARE in place....we have more problems than we know what to do with socially and economically.

Until I do some more research on this matter and find things from reliable sources that either condemn this or show positive info about it, I will not make a decision one way or the other. Though I must say that an activist community oriented group sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
